Celebrity relationships and break ups

THE Wanted singer Nathan Sykes is set to become a dad for the first time!

Taking to Instagram, the musician revealed his wife Charlotte is pregnant with their first child with a sweet photobooth video.

Nathan and Charlotte shared a video of themselves in a photobooth with an ultrasound strip to reveal the pregnancy news.

Charlotte captioned: “We’ve been keeping a little secret…Baby Sykes is officially on the way 🤍”.

The video – which saw Nathan cradle his wife’s bump and the pair pose for various snaps – confirmed baby Sykes is due in April next year.

Numerous fans and friends took to the comment section to congratulate the pair.

Nathan and Charlotte tied the knot in 2025 after several years together.

They wed in an intimate North Yorkshire ceremony at St Mary’s Church, Birdsall, with just 61 guests in attendance.

The pair were first seen together in public photos in November 2018 and announced their engagement in December 2022. 

Nathan rose to fame in the The Wanted along with the rest of the boys in 2009 and stayed until the band went on “hiatus” in 2014.

The star once briefly dated Ariana Grande and they have a song together, Almost Is Never Enough, which he recorded after going solo.

While he has been with Charlotte, who is a HR Manager, for near a decade now – with the exact story of how they met not shared publicly.

AMANDA Seyfried and her husband, Thomas Sadoski, have split after nine years of marriage.

The couple revealed in a statement to People on Tuesday that they’re going their separate ways.

“We have been separated for a while, and it’s proven to be the right move for us and our family unit. We’ve got each other forever—and it’s GOOD,” their joint statement read.

Amanda, 40, and Thomas, 50, first connected in 2015 while starring in the off-Broadway production of The Way We Get By.

The actors reunited months later as love interests in The Last Word and began dating in March 2016.

Their love story quickly blossomed as they got engaged later that year and quietly eloped in March 2017.

“We eloped. We just took off into the country with an officiant and just the two of us, and we did our thing,” Thomas revealed at the time about their secret wedding.

“It was beautiful. It was everything that it should be. It was just the two of us talking to each other.”

Their daughter Nina arrived just days after they said, “I do,” followed by their son, Thomas Jr., in September 2020.

The pair had kept their relationship relatively out of the public eye while living on a farm in upstate New York.

They’ve each made brief remarks about their romance in the past, with Thomas gushing in 2017 that Amanda was “the person that I love, admire, respect most in the world.”

Amanda also boasted about her husband, saying in 2023 that their relationship was like “yin and yang.”

They certainly shared a passion for the cameras, as both have had successful acting careers for decades.

Amanda most recently starred in The Housemaid alongside Sydney Sweeney and The Testament of Ann Lee.

She’s preparing for the release of her newest film, The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd, next month.

Thomas is best known for playing Don Keefer in the HBO series The Newsroom.

His acting career began when he landed the role of Mark Ruffalo’s understudy in the Off-Broadway play This Is Our Youth.

The Connecticut native made his film debut in 2000, starring as Chris in Loser.

OLIVIA Attwood has hit back after being accused of lying about her successful booze brand.

This summer the Love Island legend, 35, launched her range of Savano canned cocktail drinks.

However, there had been some criticism of her involvement, after Olivia called the company her “baby”.

But not taking this lying down, the successful businesswoman has now hit back and set the record straight.

“My brand, Savano, my baby. It was acquired by my partners, it existed as Tom Savano, and then with me, we relaunched it,” Olivia told her fans in her latest Instagram video.

“We remarketed it, we renamed it, we repackaged it, and we developed signature flavours. For example, my Moscow Mule. Guys, do you even understand how many Moscow Mules I had to drink to get that right? And it’s perfect.”

BABY STEPS

Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks fans convinced they’re hinting at having kids

“With me as the majority stakeholder and my team working seven days a week on my baby, in a matter of months, we have made Savano a household name.”

Meanwhile, despite this upset, Olivia has had a good week and is riding high after her NTA appearance with boyfriend Pete, 37.

The new couple went down a storm when they presented an award at the glitzy bash, marking their first live TV appearance together.

Olivia and Pete have been friends for eight years, but earlier this year their connection turned romantic.

The new couple had been trying to keep their relationship under wraps for months, but recently hard launched their new love.

Since going Instagram official, Olivia and Pete have been giving fans snippets about their romance.

The duo were first spotted together in March kissing during a night out at rooftop bar Flute.

Their smooch came just weeks after Olivia’s split from husband Bradley Dack became public.

After months of speculation, Pete then hard-launched their romance with a loved-up black and white shot in July.

COMEDIAN Jim Davidson has called off his sixth wedding to his fiancée Natasha after secretly separating – and exclusively revealed to The Sun the reasons behind the split.

The Celebrity Big Brother star, 72, was set to wed at Hampton Court Palace last year – and ending it all has come at quite a cost.

The palatial venue, where all six of King Henry VIII’s wives lived during their marriages, was an amusing nod to Jim’s string of failed marriages – but Davidson and Natasha, 49, have now lost their £10k deposit.

Despite plans to marry six times like the former King of England, funnyman Jim confirmed the engagement is off.

He told The Sun: “There’s no bad blood. Natasha is the most caring and dutiful person. 

“It’s not like we’re splitting up because we don’t love each other anymore.

“It’s a sort of a grown-up separation. The timing’s not right because she has so much time for everybody and how can you knock that?”

Dad-of-five Jim met Natasha, who is 23 years his junior, at the Southampton Boat Show in 2023 soon after the breakdown of his fifth marriage.

The smitten comic later introduced her to pals at Reform leader Nigel Farage’s birthday party saying he was going to make her his sixth wife – despite previously admitting his divorces had cost him around £60million.

He even renamed his £350,000 yacht – previously called Princess Mitchie after his ex-wife Michelle Cotton – Lady Natasha in honour of his new love.

However, the former Big Break and Generation Game host says the couple are no longer in a relationship ahead of their third anniversary.

He told us: “We still speak every other day, but whether we’ll ever find room to see one another again, I don’t know.

“She is very dutiful. She puts family first. And of course she has three children and now a grandson as well. 

“She is just so busy and so I’m very busy as well. I’ve just finished a tour and my a*** is shaped like my car seat after travelling around the country. I get out of the car and I walk like I’m still in it. 

“Our busy lives mean we’ve not been seeing one another. I previously fitted into her life because I’m hardly ever around myself.

“But there’s no bad feelings. I do love her. She’s fantastic.

“She’s the best friend you could ever have. She’s the best mother you could ever have.

“She’s the best daughter you could ever have. And I’m so proud that she was my girlfriend up until now.”

Jim – who was awarded an OBE in the 2001 New Year Honours – launched the Ustreme streaming channel after a successful stint recording short videos during Covid when he was unable to perform live and had no idea how audiences would respond.

The content includes exclusive stand-up shows and in-depth interviews with the aim of “making people laugh like they used to”.

Natasha’s new series is set to air on Jim’s website, where she jokingly refers to herself as the ‘future ex Mrs Davidson’.

Jim continued: “We planned to get married last year and even booked Hampton Court Palace, which we thought was great because Natasha would be the sixth wife and she thought that was hysterical.

“But these days we just don’t have the time to see each other and split up every month.

“So going forward, we might end up seeing each other again, or we might draw a line under it because it’s not practical for the pair of us.

“I said to her, ‘Are you going to give me my jewellery back? and she told me, ‘If you want it back, I’ll just get it from someone else’,” Jim laughed.

“She’s a beautiful girl. How she found time for me, I’ve no idea. She does everything for everybody and asks nothing for herself.”

Ruling out there being another potential wife-to-be on the cards, Jim joked: “The only thing that’s in my life now is a Hyundai Santa Fe and a dressing room.”

Natasha’s new eight-part series launches in October, interviewing an array of celebrity guests.

Meanwhile Jim Davidson – The Christmas Cracker Tour – launches on December 2. 

WHILE most shy away from pain, Ellie Goulding leans into hers for new album I Know Too Much.

And it makes the ten-track record, out today, one of her greatest pieces of work.

Her searingly honest lyrics shine a light on the last two years of her life, while the mix of pacy beats and stripped-back acoustic ballads elevate her ethereal voice.

Part heartbreak, part rebirth, I Know Too Much takes listeners on a journey through deceit and betrayal before ending in a place of euphoria with final song Ravers.

The end of her marriage to art dealer Caspar Gopling has most definitely inspired some of the tracks.

But you can also see how fans might link some lyrics to her apparent unhappiness with her old management team, with whom she is now locked in a nasty legal battle after they parted ways earlier this year.

MINE’S A LARGE

From Olivia Attwood to Ellie Goulding, I tested celebrity drink ranges

Two ultimate diss tracks, Always Thinking Of You and Misremember You, are sure-fire hits for the broken-hearted.

Lyrically, the latter is raw, with Ellie singing: “All my friends would die if they knew I still see you in a good light from time to time. But I won’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

“I’ll leave out all the details that don’t add up to your glory.”

On Always Think Of You, Ellie chides: “Run your mouth, when I post a pretty picture you would make me take it down.

“The s**t you did then I would never put up with now.”

She continues: “Losing your s**t over something small, throwing a fit like you’re two feet tall, blame it on me, or the alcohol, what do you know now, Mr know it all?”

For Your Entertainment and Loser are my stand-out favourites, with the lyrics on Loser enough to make any of her former flames cringe.

“See you got a new job, new life, got a new girl that’s fine, you’re not fooling anybody,” Ellie sings.

“You can change all your clothes, baby you’re still a loser.

“Change your cologne, you still smell like a loser.”

I’ll be singing that on repeat any time someone gets on my wick.

TIKTOK star Max Balegde broke down in tears as he confirmed he has split from his boyfriend of five years.

The Sun revealed this week that the influencer, 27, and his boyfriend Andrew Spann have now called time on their relationship.

And things appeared to have not ended amicably as they both unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Max has now broken his silence on the shock split and admitted he’s “losing the plot” and feels “devastated”.

An emotional Max took to social media with a new video as he explained his side of the story.

With tears in his eyes, the content creator started: “Hello everyone, I’m just making this video to let you know that sadly it is true that me and Andrew have broken up after five and a half years of being together.

“We broke up around two weeks ago and obviously it’s been a really sad and tough time.

“There’s been so much love between the two of us, between our family and friends over those years.

“When you’re with someone for that long, your life becomes so intrinsically bonded together and you can’t imagine not having them in your life to be honest with you. That’s kind of how it gets.

“So I’ve been struggling a lot. I am in Ibiza right now, I’ve been here for a week.

“But the narrative online that I’m just partying and don’t give one and he’s all sad, could not be further from the truth.”

Max explained that he had this holiday booked months ago and when the break-up happened, he decided to go to Ibiza with his friends instead of “sobbing alone in his room”.

He shared that he’s been looking after himself and going to the gym and has avoided going out and boozing much.

“I’ve just been spending time with lovely supportive friends who have just been a godsend,” he continued.

Max then addressed the reason behind the split and admitted it was him who decided to end it.

“I know everyone will want an explanation because we shared so much of our relationship with you lot,” he said.

“All I’ll say is I chose to end the relationship for personal reasons that I don’t really want to discuss on the internet and out of respect for Andrew.

“There is so much love there, it’s not hate. It’s just you can’t get everything you need from someone, you have to sometimes face reality and it’s sad and devastating.”

Max admitted he was “losing the plot” as he copes with the new adjustment.

“I’ve never had a break-up like this before, I’ve never experienced anything like this, I don’t know how to navigate it, all I know is I’ve spent a lot of time focusing and looking after a lot of people but now it’s time to focus and look after myself.

“As scary as this is, I’m excited for the future, even though I can’t feel that excitement right now.

“I just feel sad, scared, anxious and depressed.

“But I have a lot of exciting work stuff I want to delve into, time with my friends and family and value the time with myself. I’ve been around people for five and a half years non-stop, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be by myself.

“That’s terrifying, I’m genuinely terrified.”

Max said he was going to focus on his career and himself going forward.

He added: “If it looks like I’m losing the plot, then it’s because I am, I f***ing am.

“I’m terrified to go home tomorrow but I have to face reality at some point.

“I’ve got to find out where I’m going to end up living, what’s going to happen to our dog.

He then hid his face and said: “I’m going to cry again.”

The media star then thanked his fans for their support and said he was heartbroken as he felt he had “failed” his fans, especially those in the LGBT community.

Max captioned the post: “Please respect both of us, I still have so much love for Andrew and this is a really hard time for us both. thank you for the love.”

His followers raced to show their support for the star.

One wrote: “Sending you so much love… the end of a relationship when you still care for the person is so hard however put all that love into yourself now and everything will fall into place.”

A second said: “This is a very mature way to handle it. You should hold your head up & remember you are so loved.”

Earlier this week, The Sun announced news of the split.

A source told The Sun: “Max and Andrew broke up a few weeks ago and it’s been incredibly tough for both given how long they were together.

“Max is enjoying some time in Ibiza and will be ploughing ahead with work as he navigates the situation.”

Max, who has been on Gogglebox alongside his podcast co-host George Clarke, has been sharing what he’s been up to in Ibiza on his Instagram.

He shared a video of him miming to Ingrid Michaelson’s song Be OK while standing out on his balcony with a huge bottle of water.

The star can be seen wearing a T-shirt with the words ‘Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go to Ibiza’.

The two started dating back in 2021 after they matched on dating app Hinge.

Max and Andrew celebrated their five year anniversary back in April.

Andrew shared a selection of snaps from throughout their relationship with the caption: “Half a decade of us, no biggie.”

IT’S BEEN nine months of drama for Katie Price after she said “I do” to con man Lee Andrews.

After The Sun revealed tonight that Katie, 48, is talking to top divorce lawyers, we take a look at all the signs that pointed to her secretly planning to split from her jailbird fifth husband, 43.

Katie ditches wedding ring

Katie has had a rocky year so far, with the drama surrounding her marriage to Lee, who is currently in jail.

Since trouble started brewing in May, when he was first banged up, the former pin-up has had a very on/off relationship with her wedding ring.

Just yesterday, in a clear sign that the marriage is in big trouble, the star ditched the significant piece of jewellery as she enjoyed time in Marbella.

Katie was also seen without her wedding ring as she flashed her bum while dancing on her close pal during her wild trip.

Refusing to return to Dubai

One of the biggest signs that Katie was not happy with her marriage to Lee is her refusal to go back to Dubai, where he lives.

The star hasn’t returned to the UAE since the end of June, which was just before Lee was sent back to jail, for a second time.

Previously speaking about how she would never move to Dubai to live with Lee, she said in a YouTube vlog: “I don’t know why people think I’m moving to Dubai.

“My family’s here. The husband is there, but the husband come here and I can go to Dubai when I can.”

Katie then added: “It’s a lot of hoo-ha.”

Katie openly flirts with Jake Quickended

At an awards ceremony earlier this month, as Lee languished behind bars, Katie asked Jake Quickended if she was “his type”.

The star was seen publicly flirting with the former The X Factor star at The Hair and Beauty Awards.

It happened as they shared the stage to present an award, and Katie told him how This Morning host Ben Shephard had said to her that she would make a “good match” for Jake.

She then proceeded to see how Jake felt about that, and when he was left red-faced she said: “Are you blowing me out? Is that a yes or a no? I’m putting you on the spot.”

Never paid his bail

Lee was sent back to jail in July, just weeks after he was freed from prison the first time this year.

The con man was originally locked up in May for fraud, but was most recently nabbed for unpaid debts.

However, Katie has refused to pay any of the money he owes, in order for his release.

She told The Sun: “He’s in prison and the only way Lee will get out of prison, he has to sort it out himself.

“That’s the end of that. If not, he’ll be prison. There’s nothing I can do. I’m not here to pay anything for anyone. I’ve got my own life. Even though he’s part of my life.”

Stopped speaking about Lee

Last, but not least, Katie has stopped speaking about Lee on her podcast.

The star drops an episode of The Katie Price Show, which she does with her sister Sophie, every Thursday.

However, recently Katie has been very quiet on the topic of her jailbird husband.

CHANTELLE Houghton says she still has a friendship with her ex Preston, two decades after their Big Brother romance.

The reality star was sent into Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 to trick her famous housemates into thinking she too was a star, and ended up falling in love with singer Preston.

They married later that year, but were divorced after ten months.

Now, Chantelle says that despite their failed union, she and Preston – real name Samuel Dylan Murray Preston – keep in touch to this day.

“We still message every now and then. I think he’s engaged to someone now,” said the star.

She continued to Betway: “We’re still friendly, there’s no bad blood. We didn’t have an awful falling out. Obviously, there were problems and a bit of animosity at the time, but no, I genuinely wish him well.

“We’ve been through so much together that no one else will really understand. That friendship still matters.

“It’s good memories, and it’s something we did once in our lives. It was just a great experience.”

Whilst her relationship with Preston was very public, Chantelle has gone the opposite direction when it comes to her current relationship.

The star revealed she was in a relationship earlier this year, but didn’t divulge on who with.

Last month, it was revealed her man was local garden center owner Westley O’Bryan.

But she says the relationship will be kept private for now.

“Right now, I’m not sure whether I want to go public with my new man or keep it just for me. I’m living in the moment. I want to tell the world how amazing he is, of course I do, but for now, I’m keeping it to myself,” explained Chantelle.
