Celebrity relationships and break ups

KATIE Price’s husband Lee Andrews has claimed he’ll move to the UK in May AND revealed details of a second wedding.

Katie, 47, married Lee, 43, in February following a whirlwind romance, and has since revealed she won’t be moving out to Dubai to be with him.

The former glamour girl, who last week was banned from driving for the seventh time, is settling into life with husband number 4, who is based in the UAE.

Lee popped the question to the star on January 23, and the couple tied the knot in Dubai just 48 hours later.

However, Katie later revealed they actually officially wed in February.

Today Lee is promising ANOTHER wedding.

Posting on his Instagram Stories he shared an image of him with Katie, which read: “LEE ANDREWS CONFIRMS RETURN TO UK.

“With his gorgeous wife Katie to support her family and career commitments.

“The couple are stronger than ever and will make the commitment to live together this coming May.

“Ahead of their Winter Wedding this Year.”

Lee also posted a video of himself, where he gave fans an update on his relationship with Katie, and said: ” Life is good with us at the moment.

“We’ve got a lot going on and, uh, yes, we are making a good go of it in England.

“And then we’re also going to be sort of 50 50 in Dubai, which is our problem.

“It’s not really a problem.”

Lee’s revelation about coming to the UK comes after it was previously alleged that he is unable to leave Dubai after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend Dina Taji’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan. He vehemently denies this.

The self-proclaimed businessman’s latest reveal also comes a week after Katie revealed she has no plans to move out to Dubai.

“I don’t know why people think I’m moving to Dubai,” Katie said in her recent YouTube vlog, which has since been removed but seen by The Sun.

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

She added: “It’s a lot of hoo-ha.”

Also last week, Katie revealed she also had no current plans to go back out to Dubai anytime soon.

The TV star recently returned back to Britain, after an extended break out in Dubai to spend time with Lee.

Speaking in her YouTube vlog, Katie said: “I love that I’m back [in the UK].

“I’m not going to go to Dubai now for a bit. I’ve done my bit in Dubai and with everything going on there, it’s all quiet and I‘ve got things to do back here as well.

“I still want to sort the house out, work, even though I can work there, I just like being home, everything is here.

“Where I’ve been in Dubai, it hasn’t even been sunny, it’s been raining.”

Revealing her husband’s plans to visit her over here, she said: “But hopefully Lee will be flying to the UK soon.

“When he can, he’ll come over and just do normal stuff here.”

Meanwhile, Lee also told The Sun last month that he bought a £36million mansion for him and Katie, saying he paid in cash for their marital home.

Katie Price’s relationship history

We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price’s relationship history.

1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as ‘the love of her life’ but she broke up with the singer after he allegedly cheated on her.

2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie’s eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with his son throughout his life.

AFTER becoming the first Love Island star to make Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, savvy Molly-Mae Hague has a nifty plan to ‘Fury-proof’ her finances.

With a staggering £22million in the bank and a second baby with boxer fiancé Tommy on the way, there are whispers that a watertight pre-nup featuring a “loyalty clause” is in the works.

Molly, 26, took the shamed boxer back a year ago after cheating allegations against him led to their shock split in 2024.

And while her £600,000 engagement ring is back on and she is pregnant with a sibling for three-year-old Bambi, there is no sign of a wedding on the horizon.

Now sources close to the business-minded beauty say she is determined to make sure Tommy, 26, is 100 per cent dedicated to her before tying the knot.

An insider explained: “Molly has more than proved she knows a thing or two about making money and she knows full well what marriage could mean for her wealth.

“There’s been talk that she would want him to sign a contract before they commit any further, which would have a cheating clause and allow her the access to her money she feels she might need to move on.”

Molly was already a popular influencer when she appeared on Love Island in 2019 and met Tommy but her rise to super stardom and extreme wealth after the show is unprecedented.

‘Old home is back up’

She did not just land a fast fashion deal like other Islanders. She became Pretty Little Thing’s creative director, earning a reported £400,000 per month.

She also secured deals with huge companies such as L’Oreal and Fairy.

And recently she is said to have been paid more than £2million to collaborate with Adidas.

Molly would not be the first woman to demand a cheating clause.

Catherine Zeta Jones is said to have included a similar one in the pre-nup prior to her 2000 wedding to fellow actor Michael Douglas.

It was reported that if he ever cheated he would have to pay ­Catherine £1million for every year they were married.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel also allegedly have a clause in their prenup that would entitle Jess to £400,000 if he cheated.

It was late in the summer of 2024 that Molly dumped Tommy, telling her followers: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this.

“After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.”

The couple had been planning to move into a £5million mansion but after Tommy was accused of kissing a blonde beauty on a lads’ holiday to Macedonia, Molly stayed put in her £4million Cheshire home and booted Tommy out.

There’s been talk that she would want him to sign a contract before they commit any further, which would have a cheating clause

Insider

But the couple were seen sharing a kiss at a New Year’s Eve party and officially reunited in May 2025.

And while they now live in their new family home, we can reveal Molly has kept hold of her first mansion, which is solely in her use.

Our insider said: “Molly has been very reluctant to sell the Cheshire home and knows it’s probably wise to keep hold of it as a back up.”

At the start of the year fans were shocked when Molly quietly announced she was expecting another baby with Tommy, and was already six months pregnant.

Pals say the star opted to have another child with Tommy because she was keen that her children all have the same father.

Another source adds: “Molly is very traditional in lots of ways and Tommy is, of course, also very old school, so they wanted to have more children together.”

A blended family was not an option for Molly, the source said.

Molly’s dream

“She wants her kids to have ­consistency like she had growing up. It’s one of the main reasons she got back with him.”

Casting doubt over their relationship, Tommy’s dad John Fury said in the family’s Netflix show, At Home With The Furys: “Molly is a lovely person, but she can’t help the life she’s been brought up in, it’s contrasting to ours.

“But she’s put up with some s*** hasn’t she, so fair play to her – she’s not a bad girl.

“I’m also going to be there to support them. Let’s see what happens.”

Tommy’s half brother and former world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson has also been critical of Molly’s career.

She wants her kids to have consistency like she had growing up. It’s one of the main reasons she got back with him.

In the new series of his show he appears mocking of influencers, warning his daughter Venezuela: “If you are an influencer your private life is non-existent. Look at Tommy and Molly. If you want to make money out of doing nothing, ­basically privacy doesn’t exist.

“I’ve done a million-thousand achievements. I can write a table full of them. We’re just in an era where you can get famous for what? Getting our tits out on telly.”

But Molly, a dropout from the London College of Fashion, has come a long way since Love Island.

Forbes might have put Tyson at No3 in its ranking of the highest-paid athletes in the world, with his earnings being estimated at £120 million, but Molly is hot on his heels (wearing her sold-out Adidas shoe collection).

BRIDGERTON star Simone Ashley has stunned in a tiny Burberry bikini poolside as she revealed she’s back in the dating game after splitting from her lawyer ex.

The actress began dating high-powered entrepreneur Tim Sykes in the summer last year after they were spotted locking lips at the US Open in New York.

Just a few months later, in December it was revealed they had parted ways reportedly “wanting different things.”

Simone then unfollowed CEO Tim on Instagram.

The gorgeous star has now stripped down into a selection of very skimpy bikinis for the latest Burberry advert.

Simone, who is also a model, put on a sizzling display as she posed on a diving board, soaking up the sun.

The 31-year-old surely set pulses raising in the incredible black ensemble, which was trimmed with the iconic Burberry check.

She looked flawless, with her black hair styled in natural waves and a subtle makeup look.

Simone’s eyes were dusted with a dark brown shadow and a simple black eyeliner.

In another snap, the star flaunted her toned physique as she gave the camera a sultry pout.

She was wearing the famous Burberry print triangle bikini as she laid at the edge of the pool.

Simone sizzled as she was spotted with water droplets rolling off her body.

Elsewhere, Netflix star Simone put on a very leggy display as she posed on a bench wearing a black bikini cover-up.

She was also seen oiled up donning a pink bikini paired with a little gingham sarong.

Following her sad split Tino, Simone picked up her life and moved to New York.

Speaking on The Louis Theroux podcast, Simone said: “I moved to New York last year. I’m having the time of my life. I love it. It’s changed my life.”

But, it seems that is not all that has changed in the stars life as she made a candid admission.

She added: “At the moment, I’m dating. The plan is always to find love and have another great year in New York.

“I feel very ready for a relationship but I think it’s about finding the right person. I don’t get into situationships because it’s just a way to keep things vague. It’s not my style and I haven’t got time for that.”

Before her brief romance with Tim, Simone dated lawyer Constantin “Tino” Klein in the summer of 2022.

They called it quits back in January 2025.

ACTRESS Zendaya goes against the grain — with a bizarre sand-like outfit.

The US star, 29, dressed the part to promote upcoming flick, Dune: Part Three.

She was joined at CinemaCon by her co-star Timothée Chalamet, 30, and director Denis Villeneuve, 58, for a first look at the sci-fi sequel, which is out in December.

Last month the US actress, wore abridal-style gown at the Los Angeles premiere of her film The Drama.

The movie is about a couple unravelling on their wedding week.

Zendaya has been dating her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland, 29, since 2021.

She also stars in the recently released third season of TV series Entourage alongside Sydney Sweeney.

Nicole Kidman, 58, and Sandra Bullock, 61, were also at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to promote their new film Practical Magic 2.

Sandra also joined Instagram for the first time — gaining over three million followers in under an hour.

She took a step back from acting in 2022 to spend more time with her family, and has now returned to Hollywood.

JASON Statham has shared some very rare family snaps from his holiday to Turkey with fiancee Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and their two young children. 

The actor, 58, took to social media to post photos from their time at five star hotel Regnum at The Crown in Antalya, where rooms cost up to £3,000-a-night. 

Jason and model Rosie, 38, are parents to Jack, eight, and four-year-old Isabella. 

Fast & Furious star Jason showed off his close bond with the kids while they relaxed at the hotel’s stunning crystal cove pool. 

He and Jack were seen taking in the view with their arms around each other, while another snap showed the young lad standing on his dad’s shoulders in the pool. 

Meanwhile Isabella was seen taking a dip in the water and one photo showed proud dad Jason lifting her into the air.

Jason didn’t include any photos of Rosie in his upload, which he captioned: “The cave.”

The couple have been together since 2010 and got engaged in 2016.

But Rosie previously confessed they’re in no rush to walk down the aisle.

She told Entertainment Tonight: “We’re looking forward to that time. It’s also not a huge priority for us, we’re so happy.

“I think it will be fun to do it when the baby’s [Jack] grown up a bit and he can be involved in the wedding.”

Rosie and Jack live in a Georgian townhouse in London and have spent two years renovating it together.

Revealing how the process has been, she told Vogue Australia: “Jason has the most impeccable taste.

“He taught me so much about architecture and furniture.”

Rosie added that being in a relationship with Jason for 16 years has been “very grounding”.

GLADIATORS star Jodie Ounsley has shared rare loved-up snaps with her rugby player girlfriend Ellen Ramsbottom.

The pair went public with their romance in July last year and now Jodie has called her other half “my calm in all the chaos” in a gushing birthday tribute.

The BBC One star, known as Fury on the show, took to her Instagram feed to share a series of snaps of the two of them together as well as solo pictures of Ellen.

In one photo, the ladies are glammed up in stunning dresses as they hold hands while walking down a hotel hallway.

In another picture, the two are seen enjoying a beach day as Ellen plants a kiss on Jodie’s face.

She captioned the post: “The person who holds everything together behind the scenes, my calm in all the chaos and the one who makes me cackle like no one else.

“Happy Birthday, ya special human,” Jodie concluded.

Their fans flocked to the comments section to send the couple some love as one said: “Eugh the beautiful eyes in this relationship is unreal!”

Another person gushed: “You two seem like a ‘forever’ kinda couple. I love it xxxx.”

While a third added: “Happy birthday to your special person.”

Jodie and Ellen first met when they were 16, playing together at Loughborough Rugby.

They went public with their romance last Summer in a YouTube vlog and their relationship appears to be going from strength to strength.

The post comes after Jodie’s dad Phil Ounsley, 56, tragically died after collapsing on one of Yorkshire’s three peaks in December.

She shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram as she penned: “Heartbroken. Yesterday, my dad suddenly passed away while doing one of his favourite things—walking Pen-y-Ghent.

“He had hiked that peak countless times throughout his life, but none of us knew he wouldn’t walk back down that day.

“I don’t have the words. All I can say is that he was, and always will be, my absolute hero.

“He encouraged me to dream big and loved me wholeheartedly, and for that I will be forever grateful. Until we meet again, Dad.”

HELEN Flanagan has admitted she “constantly suffers” with mum guilt – even when her three kids are spending time with their father.

The former Coronation Street star spoke candidly in an exclusive interview with The Sun, and told us she has to force herself to “look at the bigger picture”.

Helen, 35, who has locked horns with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair in a series of public clashes, spoke about the raw emotional pull she feels while working away.

Helen and Scott split after 13 years together in 2022. They share three kids Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, four.

Speaking to the Sun on behalf of Paddy Power, she said: “I feel mum guilt all the time.

“It’s something I deal with constantly. But I try to remind myself that I’m working for my children, so it’s ultimately for them.

“When they’re with their dad, I also see that as encouraging their relationship, which is important.

“I do still feel guilty, but I try to reframe it and look at the bigger picture.”

Helen previously said she now takes jobs she usually wouldn’t do to pay the bills.

The former soap star played the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Liverpool‘s M&S Bank Arena over the festive period.

It came as her ex looked after their brood at Christmas last year and again during the recent Easter holiday period.

Dressed up in character this month, the panto star shared: “I am princess Jill today. I’m really, really loving this theatre tour so much.

“I miss my kids today. I’ve been away from them now for about a week as they are at their daddy’s for Easter. 

“I definitely don’t think it gets easier sharing your children, it really doesn’t, but there’s so many of us that are in these situations and it can be really tricky.”

Helen’s comments about her former partner — and the positive nature of him spending time with their kids — seem to hint the pair have built bridges.

Their most recent explosive spat saw her clash with Scott after he missed their son Charlie’s nativity play because he was in Abu Dhabi for the F1.

She branded him a “piece of s**t” as he lived it up in the UAE instead.

It also seems Helen is setting her sights to her future after selling her family home and split with former boyfriend Robbie Talbot.

On the prospect of her signing up for more dating shows, she told us: “My children just find it funny.

“My daughter and I are very close. She just sees it as me working and doing different things – we have such a close bond, so it’s all very normal to her.

“I’m very open-minded about it.

“I don’t think there’s an age where you suddenly have to stop doing things like modelling or dating shows.

“You can still feel beautiful and confident at any age, so I don’t think you can put a limit on it.”

PREGNANT Molly-Mae has jetted off to Sweden on a very spenny babymoon with her fiancé Tommy Fury as the couple countdown to the birth of their second baby.

The businesswoman is set to give birth at the beginning of June and it seems the pair are keen to spend some quality time together before their family of three becomes four.

Molly spared no expense when she surprised her man with the lavish trip as they posed in front of a private jet.

The 26-year-old gifted boxer Tommy the incredible trip as an “early birthday present.”

Tommy and Molly, who officially reunited in May 2025, have been staying in a stunning £2,791.52-a-night suite.

The loved up pair checked into the five star Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, in Switzerland.

Their luxurious suite has panoramic bay window views of the lake and mountains, a huge fireplace, double bath and a very spacious master bedroom.

Reality TV star Tommy was also spotted hitting up the hotel spa, which can boost the cost of their trip to as much as £3,737.96-a-night.

Molly and Tommy visited Switzerland three years ago with her sister Zoe Rae and her brother-in-law Danny.

Tommy told fans he had been wanting to visit again after the incredible time they had.

The couple’s last trip to Switzerland came before they shocked the world by announcing their split in 2024.

They have since reunited and seem to be happier than ever on their last trip before they welcome baby number two.

As well as Tommy’s birthday, a new baby on the way, and her ever growing empire, Molly has another reason to celebrate today.

The star was named in Forbes magazine’s Top 30 under 30 list.

Taking to her Instagram, she said: “In other news… waking up to this has genuinely made me think I’ve been dreaming the last few weeks.”

The coveted nod is something no other Love Island star has ever managed to achieve.

Molly and Tommy met on the famous ITV dating show back in 2019.

AUBREY Plaza’s world was tragically turned upside down last year following the very sudden and sad loss of her husband Jeff Baena.

But 15 months on, the Parks and Recreation actress, 41, has quietly found happiness and laid the foundations of a fruitful new future, as it emerged this week that she’s expecting her first child with Girls star Christopher Abbott.

“It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,” a source close to the couple told People following the baby news, adding that “they feel very blessed”.

The new chapter comes just over a year after her filmmaker husband Jeff Baena was found dead, aged 47, in January 2025.

Aubrey has kept herself mostly out of the spotlight in the aftermath of Jeff’s passing, with it since revealed that she’s been quietly enjoying the company of her supportive new beau Chris.

MOVIE MEETING

Like all good love stories, Aubrey and Chris’s relationship started off as friends.

TRAGIC LOSS

Aubrey Plaza’s director husband found dead age 47 as family left ‘devastated’

They first met starring in the 2020 psychological flick Black Bear, and even then were singing each other’s praises.

Speaking at the time, Aubrey said that their dynamic felt “volatile and electric in a way that made every take unpredictable.”

While Chris praised Aubrey at the time as “fearless, you never quite know what she’s going to do.”

SPARKS OFF BROADWAY

The two became co-stars while starring together in the Off-Broadway show Danny and the Deep Blue Sea in 2023.

While the two-person play received mixed reviews, with The Guardian saying it was “challenging theatre, just not in the good way”, the pair grew close behind the scenes.

Halfway through the run, Chris injured his knee, and Aubrey is reported to have “coordinated a dance scene where she gave him a lap dance when he was on crutches.” 

Even before the injury, the actress is alleged to have “[rode] him simulating sex while he’s on the floor as one of the sets changed between acts.” 

On the evening that Chris hurt himself, Aubrey reportedly “went into a different mode to take care of him and was very affectionate.”

She even skipped seeing fans to attend to her colleague post-performance, with it noted that she “avoided any stage door due to Chris being her main concern.”

Aubrey was still with Jeff during the Broadway run, with her split from her late husband happening around Septemebr 2024, months prior to his death.

Meanwhile, Chris appeared to stay single and was spotted on celebrity dating app Raya, however, never on any actual dates.

Before finding love with Aubrey, Chris dated The Girlfriend star Olivia Cooke, but the pair split just before the pandemic.

PRESS TOUR PAIRING

While not together, their chemistry was visible during the press tour for the play.

Speaking about their project at the time, Aubrey told The New York Times: “He cares but he also doesn’t care; it’s the best recipe for me for a scene partner.

“It’s fun and it’s also good and it’s also safe. I like to just throw things out the window also and laugh and mess around and not take it so seriously. It’s a hard combo to come by.”

Chris agreed, adding: “We’re both unafraid to be ugly and weird and strange.

“We’re doing this play every night for an audience, but I think you also have to do it for each other,” he said.

“We want to entertain the audience, but I personally want to entertain Aubrey.”

“I guess I like to entertain him as well,” Aubrey added.

SECRET DATES

Last July, the couple were spotted at The Chatham Berry Farm, which is located a couple of hours outside of New York City, in what appeared to be a less-than-platonic encounter.

A source at the farm reported to Duexmoi that Aubrey was “was rubbing his back, and they were sitting very close to each other at a picnic table.” 

From the insider’s POV, the outing appeared “more than friends.”

The insider added that Aubrey appeared to know Chris’ sister who was also invited on the outing. 

Chris’ sister is singer Christina Abbott who posted about the day in June 2025.

The group were said to have had “several rounds of drinks from the cidery and ate dinner.”

Just one month later, Aubrey opened up about her grief during an interview with former Parks and Recreation co-star Amy Poehler.

She said: “Overall, I’m here and I’m functioning.

“I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I’m okay, but it’s like a daily struggle, obviously.”

Last year, Aubrey received the tragic news that her estranged husband Jeff Baena had been found dead at the home they once shared.

The U.S. Sun previously reported that emergency services were dispatched to the address in Los Feliz.

His body was found at 10.25am by an assistant at the property, which the couple bought together in 2022.

The filmmaker was pronounced dead at the scene.

An investigator noted in documents that Aubrey, whose name was blacked out in the final report, said she had spoken to Jeff the night before he died.

In March 2025, it emerged Aubrey had quietly split from Jeff four months before his death, with the pair separating in September 2024.

An LA County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report obtained by DailyMail.com stated they had parted that month and that she was living in New York when his body was found.

Jeff’s family were left “devastated” and asked for privacy at the time.

The couple tied the knot over four years earlier after dating for a decade.

They kept both the engagement and marriage secret until Aubrey described him as her “darling husband” in a touching Instagram post following the tragedy.

OLIVIA Attwood has heartbreakingly revealed she “cried so much” she “nearly passed out” in the aftermath of her split with Bradley Dack.

The Love Island alum, 34, and footballer spouse Bradley, 32, split in January and she claimed recently that his infidelities were the reason for the relationship ending.

The Loose Women panelist then told how she felt like a “f**king idiot” and admitted covering and lying for the footballer in a fiery statement.

Olivia has showed her vulnerability as she navigates her new life chapter and admitted she was “learning to forgive” herself.

Now she has spoken candidly to the Extra Dirrty podcast, recorded in March, about the backlash towards her response to her marriage breakdown.

It came as she found herself at the centre of wedding fakery row, after it came to light that she and Bradley were never legally married.

Olivia told the podcast: “I can only see what I’ve had because people just like to give women a hard time.

“Someone wrote me on my TikTok yesterday when I was with the girls in New York having fun, and she’s like ‘I really hope someone screws you over so badly, like you’re such a cold calculated b***h.’

“I thought, it’s because I’m open and I talk about all kinds of things, but I’m not going to video myself crying and put it on the internet.

“I’m just f*****g not”.

She poured out her heart further and said: “It doesn’t mean I don’t cry. I have cried, I’ve cried so hard during this breakup to the point where I f*****g think I’m going to pass out, and then I will slap myself in the face and go to work.

“I don’t need to be crying on the internet, I don’t think that people, professionally, are going to respect me and book me to host their TV shows when I’m videoing myself lying on the floor crying”.

Olivia then told how it had been her most painful break up yet and continued: “I think that when you know you tried, we both tried so many things to make it work, so of course it’s just so sad. It’s sad.

“Also, this is why I’ve not rushed to say anything because it’s like, I can still acknowledge the fact that I like him and I love him as a person, those things can still be true while knowing that it’s run its course.

“I think it would be easier if I hated him, which I don’t”.

Previously, Gillingham player Brad spoke out to defend Olivia on social media while we exclusively told how her family had cut ties with him.

While attempting to get on with her life, with a work trip to Seoul, Olivia re-posted an inspirational quote to her Instagram page.

On it she added the caption: “I’m in love with this sentence”.

It read: “Forgive yourself, for not knowing earlier what only time could teach you”.

Earlier this month, we were told by pals that Bradley had been unfaithful to Olivia, hence the break-up.

Confirming this was the case, Olivia, who wed Bradley in 2023, finally broke her silence on the situation this week in a statement shared to Instagram Stories.

She wrote: “I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied & cheated on me multiple times.

“The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.

“I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself – as I did for 10 years.

“Covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies.

“I of course now feel like a f***ing idiot (Especially as more things come to the surface).

“I never wanted to say any of this. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating.

“But some of the disgusting things written about me in the last few weeks just blow my mind – and of course sadly it’s always fellow females doing the writing.”

Olivia added that she decided to leave her marriage after being told he was unfaithful again in January.

The star also confirmed that she is now dating after being seen kissing Pete Wicks.

HE IS known to not mince his words – and it seems Simon Cowell could get a taste of his own medicine.

I can reveal that his ex, Baywatch model Carmen Electra, and his fellow American Idol judge Paula Abdul are both working on memoirs — which are set to feature their relationships with the music mogul.

A Los Angeles literary agent said: “Paula and Carmen are strong women and they won’t hold back when it comes to their memoirs.

“Carmen dated Simon, so knows what he is like when the cameras stop rolling.

“Rumours have swirled for years about Paula and Simon.

“They had undeniable chemistry on American Idol and now Paula has the chance to put the record straight.”

SPECIAL ACT

Simon Cowell left emotional on BGT as he reunites with X Factor star 9 years on

Carmen and Simon were first linked in 2012 when she briefly starred as a guest judge on ITV show Britain’s Got Talent.

The pair were spotted on a series of dinner dates.

Speaking about Carmen in December 2012, Simon said: “She’s not my girlfriend. We’re people who date. She’s adorable, isn’t she?”

Paula had starred on American Idol with Simon for eight seasons between 2002 and 2009.

The pair, who also appear­ed together on The X Factor USA, were known for their chemistry on the shows.

Speaking of their relationship in 2011, he said: “On the first two seasons, we couldn’t travel on the same plane together.

“We really disliked each other that much. I think it was sexual tension — on her part.”

When later asked if the pair had ever dated, Paula replied: “Oh no! No! Ew, no!”.

Simon has proved himself as a family man — after getting engaged to American socialite Lauren Silverman in December 2021.

The couple, who have a 12-year-old son Eric, opened up their home to the cameras for Netflix’s show Simon Cowell: The Next Act.

On the six-part docu- series — which charts how the entertainment boss put together boyband December 10 — Simon praised his ­fiancee.

He said: “Lauren, she’s very strong, very emotional, but I love that.

“The reason we have such a great relationship is she always tells me the truth.”

Let’s hope Simon appreciates the same in these upcoming books.

SIMON likes snacking on oranges while filming the auditions for ITV show Britain’s Got Talent.

A source said: “He loves ­oranges – specifically easy peelers. Runners were tasked with keeping the oranges flowing during filming in Blackpool and Birmingham.

“At one point he was giving them out to the crowd, who were ­asking him to sign them.”

Sabrina’s Carchella

SABRINA CARPENTER revved up the crowd with her headline set at Coachella on Friday night.

In a lace leotard, the starlett danced on top of a convertible car amid a sultry performance at the music festival in Palm Springs, America.

She was supported by Irish singer CMAT, Brit rapper ­Centra Cee and US stars Teddy Swims and Lizzo – who showed off her flute-playing skills.

Sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Kourtney Kardashian watched on.

Paul on a Roll with the Stones

HAVING made music history by appearing on a Rolling Stones’ album three years ago, Paul McCartney is repeating the feat.

The Beatles legend will feature on a track on their upcoming 25th album, which is due for release in July.

Believed to be titled Foreign Tongues, the collection of songs is largely being touted as the ­Stones’ final record.

It comes after Macca played bass on Bite My Head Off, a track on the Stones’ 2023 record Hackney Diamonds.

An insider said: “Details surrounding the Stones’ new album have been kept secret, but it’s true that Paul features on a new track on it. It’s a real treat for fans.”

Marty Supreme actress Odessa A’Zion is reported to have filmed their new video in a hushed-up two-day shoot at Battersea Arts Centre in South London last week.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood dropped a new single yesterday under pseudonym The Cockroaches.

Macca and Jagger have previously ­competed over who was in the best band.

Caught Live: Craig David

By Olivia Monk

HE is marking 25 years in the game, but Craig David proved he has still got it – and revealed there’s plenty more to come.

The 7 Days singer told fans at the venue in Hammersmith, West London that he is working on new music.

At his Born To Do It: 25th Anniversary gig on Thursday he had the crowd hooked from the off, admitting with hand on heart: “Oh man, we’re getting emotional here.”

But the biggest moment came when he brought out Grammy award-winning producer, songwriter and musician Fraser T Smith – who has worked with Craig as well as Adele and Rita Ora among others – and confirmed they are collaborating again.

Craig said: “He’s my brother, and also someone I’m back in the studio making new music with.”

The pair shared a stripped-back set, with Fraser cheekily flipping Craig’s famous ad lib to: “Fraser T all over your . . . ”

Still, fans were there for the classics – and Craig delivered.

Introducing 7 Days – his second consecutive UK No1 in 2000 – he said: “This song changed everything for me.” Delighted fans sang every word back.

Hit song Rewind sparked more chaos, with one over-excited fan even throwing a red bra on stage as the Apollo turned into one big party.

With energy like that, Craig won’t be Walking Away from the music industry any time soon.

SERIES two of Disney+ hit Rivals is set to feature shocking sex scenes between Danny Dyer and his on-screen partner Katherine Parkinson.

The actress, who plays novelist Lizzie Vereker in the show, back next month, teases: “You’ll see a lot of me and Danny, possibly more than you’ll want to see.”

An insider added: “It’s raunchier than the first series and will raise a lot of eyebrows.” I can’t wait.

LOUIS PARTRIDGE is the latest actor tipped to play the next James Bond – and aged 22, he could be the youngest to take the iconic role.

The Brit, whose two-year romance with Olivia Rodrigo ended last year – starred in House of Guinness, which dropped on Netflix last September.

The historical drama series was created by Steven Knight, who is writing the script for the next Bond film.

Of impressing Steven, Louis said: “Maybe I could just be at the bar swilling a martini, saying nothing.”

Glam dash for Doc in frock

SURANNE JONES does a runner as she films for the third and final series of BBC One drama Doctor Foster.

The actress was spotted running in a black satin dress and heels has returned as the titular character.

She was also seen behind the wheel of a burgundy Porsche, and springing from the motor during filming in Hertfordshire this week.

Of her third season in the thriller, Suranne said: “When I got the call to ask if I wanted to return as Gemma Foster, I knew the time was right.”

The first series premiered in September 2015 and followed Dr Foster as she uncovers her husband Simon – Bertie Carvel – having an affair.
Series two aired in 2017.

LAURA Anderson left fans stunned as she shared sizzling snaps from a luxury getaway — and appeared to have a dig at her footballer ex-boyfriend.

The former Love Island star donned her teeniest shorts as she posed for selfies at a posh hotel.

Laura treated herself to a stay at Scotland’s five-star Gleneagles and made sure to show it off.

Smiling and laughing, she oozed confidence in a chic white blazer paired with barely-there satin shorts.

Laura shared the snaps with the caption: “@thegleneagleshotel is always a good idea.”

And it’s safe to say the post appears to send a “look what you’re missing” message after her split from Dundee footballer Clark Robertson just weeks ago.

tough time

Laura Anderson admits she’s ‘struggling, big time’ after love split

The pair called time on their relationship last month after 18 months together.

The star later shared a post listing the self-help mantras she is buying into following the split.

The list was seen by some fans as a thinly veiled swipe at her ex, with several of the phrases linked to breakups and moving on.

References to a “small circle” and the “Let Them theory” hint at cutting ties, while “always trust your intuition” suggests ignored red flags.

While lines such as “being mean isn’t cool” and “energy doesn’t lie” could be seen as comments about past behaviour.

Last week, the 36-year-old ramped up speculation about the split when she shared a cryptic post about cheating.

The ITV star took to her Instagram Stories to reshare a post that read: “Why do people cheat on queens for clowns?

“Because a palace has rules but the circus is free for all.”

The Sun exclusively revealed news of their split in March after a year and a half together.

A source said: “Laura and Clark have called time on their relationship.

“It was a difficult decision. They both have a lot of love for each other but realised it wasn’t working.”

The split may not come as a huge surprise as Laura and Clark, 32, had become increasingly absent from each other’s lives.

The pair had been quiet about their relationship, failing to share snaps of each other in recent months.

Laura’s last post with the Dundee player came on February 21 following a spa break.

She previously opened up about the “tricky and emotional” ups and downs of planning Christmas with a blended family.

Laura shares daughter Bonnie with ex-partner Gary, while Clark has two children from a previous relationship.

She told The Sun in December: “I mean, obviously, Clark’s got two kids and then I’m not with Bonnie’s dad and different things like that. So it can be an emotional, tricky time.

“I think blended families sort of bring hardship.”

The two began dating in 2024 after she finally responded to a DM he sent her three years earlier.

Laura shot to fame on the fourth series of Love Island in 2018, where she finished runner-up alongside Paul Knops.

The pair dated for just two months after the show before calling time on their relationship.

THERE was a time a while back when, whenever the gossip mags wrote about Jennifer Aniston, they’d always preface her name with ‘Sad’.

Sad Jen Aniston – it was like one of those three-part names like Sarah Jessica Parker or Sarah Michelle Gellar, and call me a cynic, but I’m convinced we haven’t seen the last of her.

For someone who was allegedly one of the most desirable women on earth, this must have been extremely annoying, especially when a quick roll-call inevitably followed, ticking off the regiment of men it took to award Aniston, 57, her nickname; Brad Pitt, John Mayer and Justin Theroux, for starters.

But now she is apparently planning to marry someone called Jim Curtis who she has been dating since 2025; celeb-years are like dog-years when it comes to relationships, so this is like a decade for the rest of us.

He looks like one of those men who habitually whispers ‘Rock Star’ at his reflection every morning.

He appears to have the aw-shucks charm of Pitt, the narcissism of Mayer and the pretentiousness of Theroux – without apparently having the independently successful careers of all of these, having only come to public notice when Aniston fell for his charms.

To be fair, she has rarely looked lovelier, and Curtis, 50, is wolfishly handsome.

But ‘wellness coach’ Mr Curtis – who has reportedly encouraged Aniston to ‘look inward (unfortunate suggestions of a colonoscopy there) – has a distinct whiff of snake oil about him, or rather, of woo-woo.

As a friend says: “They’ve done intensive regression therapy together, and Jen and Jim believe they met in a past life.

“They feel their souls were destined to find each other again in this timeline to complete their journey. It’s all very woo-woo and spiritual, but it absolutely works for them.”

What is woo-woo? Boiled down to its sticky residue, it’s extreme silliness masquerading as spirituality.

Woo-woo is especially attractive to disappointed women of a certain age; crystals, Goddess workshops and having a shaman on Skype speed-dial.

Gong baths, forest baths, any bath that doesn’t feature water; meditation, mindfulness, manifestation, and ‘cacao ceremonies’ where menopausal women pay other menopausal women to make them a hot chocolate in a flask while they watch the sun rise; call it a cacao ceremony and pay a hundred quid for the privilege.

Past-life regression: a couple I knew told everyone they met that in a past life, and that the woman was apparently the husband’s mother in Ancient Rome.

Their ageing whippet was also with them in Rome, which explained why, at 8,000 years old, he sometimes struggled on his daily walk.

Curtis himself was ‘regressed’ on a television talk show as a youngster and discovered that he was a Native American who was murdered.

The Wonder Of You

It’s funny how regressions bring up such dramatic results – no one’s ever just a bank clerk bored with their daily commute.

Until she saw sense and started showing off what her mama gave her again on Traitors, the most flagrantly silly face of homeland woo-woo was probably Charlotte Church, who in 2022 turned her very big house in the country into a ‘wellness retreat’ complete with a shower which the singer described as akin to a ‘very large and unusual-shaped vagina’, and a ‘womb room’.

According to planning documents, Church aimed to create ‘a system of non-hierarchical participatory democracy’ inside the property.

‘The Dreaming’ was due to open in 2022 – but was postponed due to a problem with too much sewage, which unkind souls might say is the overriding impression that one got from the whole daft enterprise.

But one can see why high-maintenance women might go for men like Mr Curtis.

After the parade of go-getting career-driven arch-narcissists Aniston has been left high and dry by, it might be refreshing to look into the limpid eyes of some smooth-talking guru who only wants to talk about The Wonder Of You.

The only Woo Woo I’ve got time for is this one: ‘Mix vodka, peach schnapps and cranberry juice, and garnish with a lime wedge’

On the other hand, knowing how prevalent stealth-narcissists are on the dodgy borderline where self-care meets self-advancement, there’s an equal chance that Dr Love is simply staring into your eyes in order to see his own reflection.

Falling for a snake-oil smoothie is the modern equivalent of those women who used to fall for vicars, and hang around making themselves useful in church in the hope that earthly love might eventually get a look-in.

Perhaps in a decade’s time, all this meditation, mindfulness and manifestation will be seen for what it is – old-fashioned eccentricity with a self-improving spin.

Personally, the only Woo Woo I’ve got time for is this one: ‘Mix vodka, peach schnapps and cranberry juice, and garnish with a lime wedge’.

OLIVIA Attwood has hinted at the shocking reason she didn’t legally marry Bradley Dack, as their split gets even messier.

Olivia, 34, and ex-partner Bradley, 32, broke up in January after she claimed that he was unfaithful to her.

The Loose Women star is at the centre of wedding fakery row, after it came to light that she and Bradley were never legally married.

The Love Island legend left ITV bosses “blindsided” when it was revealed that their marriage was never made official, despite the broadcaster airing their wedding on TV.

Now, Olivia has hinted at why she never signed the official paperwork, which would have made her legally wed to Brad.

It came when she “liked” a video on Instagram which explained that by choosing to stay unmarried and not signing a wedding licence, Olivia would never have had a prenup with Brad.

The clip was captioned with: “Failing to sign on the dotted line was not an act of irresponsibility or forgetfulness… Olivia Attwood was doing what men have done for MILLENIA (protecting her [money emoji]).”

The star has made a HUGE fortune, and is a millionaire many times over, thanks to her rise to fame on Love Island in 2017.

Since then, she has become the darling of ITV, making documentaries left right and centre, as well as a slew of reality shows.

Olivia is also a radio star and podcaster, and is an ambassador for many lucrative brands.

All of this has boosted her bank balance massively, so it appears she made a decision to protect it and not get legally wed.

Meanwhile, Olivia and Bradley held their £200,000 ceremony for 80 guests at the five-star Bulgari hotel in London’s Knightsbridge in June 2023, two months before ITV aired it on their reality show, Olivia Meets Her Match.

She had even changed her name to Olivia Attwood-Dack, using that in her frequent appearances on ITV1’s Loose Women.

Yet it was recently revealed how they never had a legal marriage, as the union has not been logged with the General Register Office, the archive of all marriages and civil partnerships for England and Wales.

Olivia’s camp has claimed that the couple had planned to complete paperwork at a register office near their home in Cheshire six weeks after the wedding.

But they failed to ever sign anything as “Olivia uncovered a number of mistruths” and that her inability to trust Bradley “forced her hand in not being able to legally bind their union”.

A telly source said: “There were crisis meetings at ITV yesterday after this bombshell sent shockwaves around the network as bosses were under the impression that Olivia was married legally and it looks as if they didn’t do their due diligence.

“She always acknowledged him as her husband and used his name, so there was never any need to question the matter.

“ITV would never dream of intentionally trying to deceive their viewers and appreciate the severity of the revelation.

“The show now looks like a cash grab from Olivia and Bradley and makes a mockery of her fanbase”.

Despite the fallout from the revelation that ITV‘s “golden girl” was never legally married, Olivia has jetted to another country on work commitments.

Meanwhile, it comes just days after Olivia said she felt like a “f**king idiot” and admitted covering and lying for the footballer in a fiery statement.

Last week, Gillingham player Brad spoke out to defend her on social media while we exclusively told how her family had cut ties with him.

While attempting to get on with her life, with a work trip to Seoul, Olivia re-posted an inspirational quote to her Instagram page.

On it she added the caption: “I’m in love with this sentence”.

It read: “Forgive yourself, for not knowing earlier what only time could teach you”.

Olivia and Bradley’s split was revealed in January, with sources confirming at the time it was due to a “breach of trust” on the latter’s side.

And earlier this month, we were told by pals that Bradley had been unfaithful to Olivia, hence the break-up.

The blonde bombshell has now confirmed that she is dating again after being seen kissing Pete Wicks.

NICOLE Kidman commandos attention by going undies-free in a sheer-sided dress.

The actress, 58, wore the striking monochrome frock to the premiere of her Apple TV series Margo’s Got Money Troubles.

She also cuddled co-star Elle Fanning in New York.

Elle, meanwhile, blew out candles on a cake for her 28th birthday yesterday.

Nicole is planning a holiday with her teen daughters after her split last year from their country singer dad Keith Urban, 58.

She said: “I have teenage girls, and we want to have our whole summer (together).

“We’re going to go have some summer fun.”

The twice-married Hollywood A-lister was snapped clasping hands with Simon Baker, 56.

He plays her husband in Prime Video series Scarpetta in which she is a forensic pathologist investigating a series of murders.

The pair were seen cosying up at a screening of the series earlier this month in New York and stuck together at the after-party.

A source said: “Nicole and Simon’s closeness is definitely the talk of the town right now.

“They’re incredible together on screen and when you see them together in real life, that chemistry clearly wasn’t faked.

“At the after-party they stayed close all night and were deep in conversation.”

MODEL Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is awash with glamour as she poses under an outdoor shower in a cut-out swimsuit.

The British beauty, 38, was snapped for her latest fashion venture.

Former Victoria’s Secret Angel Rosie — who has two children with her tough guy actor fiancé Jason Statham, 58 — has teamed up with Brazilian brand ViX Paula Hermanny as a designer and global ambassador.

She and Jason have been together since 2010 and have kids Jack, eight, and Isabella, three.

Last month Rosie worked flat out for a sexy new photoshoot.

She stretched back in a Valentino sheer dress — and struck a similar pose on top of a Sydney skyscraper.

She also told the April edition of Vogue Australia, out on Monday, of her love for Oasis, having seen them play live on tour last year.

She said: “It gets everybody to the dance floor or singing their hearts out.”

Action film star partner Jason Statham, 57, popped the question in 2016, but she later said getting married was “not a priority”.

A source said: “Jason might be 20 years older than Rosie, but they are on the same page with each other in so many aspects of their lives.

“Their love for each other, and their children, is incredibly reassuring and something their friends look up to.”

The couple recently teamed up for their first photoshoot together.

JENNIFER ANISTON could be destined to marry her hypnotherapist boyfriend – as she is convinced they are soulmates who met in a past life, it is claimed.

The Friends star and wellness guru Jim Curtis are said to be so in love, they have begun scouting locations for their wedding.

Sources claim the smitten couple have also had regression therapy, designed to open up old memories, and firmly believe they knew one another in a previous incarnation.

Now, they are keen to “complete their journey” by marrying in front of loved ones at a lowkey ceremony — possibly in Europe.

An insider said: “Jen is glowing. She feels like she has waited a lifetime to find a love this easy and in a way, she believes she has.

“They’ve done intensive regression therapy together, and Jen and Jim believe they met in a past life.

“They feel their souls were destined to find each other again in this timeline to complete their journey.

“It’s all very woo-woo and spiritual, but it absolutely works for them.”

After two failed marriages — first to Brad Pitt, then Justin Theroux — Jennifer, 57, is apparently convinced she has found The One in Jim, 50.

The insider said: “Jen has never been so happy.

‘Clicked instantly’

“They’ve been discussing a small wedding away from the Hollywood circus, and Europe is top of the list.

“Jen does not like big crowds and would ­prefer an intimate ceremony with just a handful of their closest confidantes.”

The couple regularly split their time between Jen’s £15million Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles and her £12million Montecito retreat. But it appears they may be ready to move in together.

Jim has listed his £1.2million pad in Manhattan, and the pair are said to have been hunting for a luxury New York apartment.

They have been spotted looking at a block where prices start at £5million.

Jen is glowing. She feels like she has waited a lifetime to find a love this easy and in a way, she believes she has.

Insider

A source said: “They have been viewing apartments on the Upper East Side. This will be their first joint home.”

Jen and Jim have grown close amid their shared passion for spiritual healing.

But I am told they also bonded over their shared love of dogs.

Jen’s fans will be delighted to see her so happy after previous devastating break-ups.

Her 2000 marriage to actor Brad ended in divorce in 2005 amid rumours he had an affair with Angelina Jolie. After brief romances with Vince Vaughn and John Mayer, Jen wed actor Justin Theroux in 2015.

But they announced their split in 2018. Since then, the Morning Show star has kept her romantic life fiercely guarded, focusing on her career, rescue dogs and tight-knit circle of friends — until Jim walked into her life.

The master hypnotherapist, transformational coach and best-selling author built a career guiding clients through trauma and emotional recovery.

He has more than a million Instagram fans and posts daily affirmations. The pair were introduced through mutual friends in 2024. Jen was already a fan of his self-help literature and they clicked instantly, ­leading to clandestine dinner dates at their homes.

They have since been spotted on a romantic getaway at the exclusive ­Ventana Big Sur resort in Northern California and on a yacht in Majorca.

Written in stars

Instagram photos shared by Jen on Easter Sunday showed the couple embracing, and there was a snap of her with Friends co-star and pal Courteney Cox.

Jim has had a turbulent love life, too. In his book, The Stimulati Experience, he told of past struggles to “keep” a girlfriend and his divorce from his ex-wife.

According to one source, Jim was “Jen’s rock” as she was plagued by an alleged stalker who began bombarding her with messages and voicemails in 2023.

In 2025, the man crashed into the gates of her home while she was inside. He was later charged but was deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial.

“Jim kept her grounded throughout what was a very traumatic and stressful time,” said one source.

Meanwhile, Jen has been uncharacteristically open about her deep admiration for Jim. Last November, on his 50th birthday, she shared a black and white photo of them on Instagram. On her wedding finger was a diamond ring, prompting speculation she was engaged. But her team refused to comment.

Shortly after, Jen told Elle magazine Jim was “quite extraordinary”, and “very special”.

Now, it seems that with a spiritual connection written in the stars — or perhaps a past life — Jen’s search for The One is finally over.

Jennifer’s reps were asked to comment.

AS Tom Hardy enjoys a spot of Spring sunshine in Barbados during a relaxing holiday with his wife Charlotte Riley, the actor has shown off his impressive tattoo collection.

The Mobland star, 48, has over 30 inks across his chest and arms, all of which could be seen as he hit the beach on Tuesday.

Donning a pair of Venum UFC shorts, Tom and his other half enjoyed dips in the sea and sunbathed on the sand while joined by their kids.

Actress Charlotte, who has appeared in series such as Peaky Blinders, donned a black bikini top with a pair of monochrome string-tie bottoms.

The couple have been together since 2009 and married since 2014, sharing a daughter and a son together.

Tom is also a dad to 18-year-old son Louis, whom he shares with ex Rachael Speed.

Anthea Turner postpones wedding for a FOURTH time – 7 years after engagement

Tom’s entire upper half is adorned with tattoos, with the actor going for his first ink – an Irish Leprechaun – at the age of 15.

The tat was a nod to his mother’s Irish heritage, with each one of his body art with a meaning behind it.

A Union Jack sits above his heart, which he has previously said is to “remind me where I come from”, whilst the words “Padre Fiero”, which translate to “proud father” are above the flag.

One of Tom’s tattoos, which sits on his right bicep, is a tribute to Hollywood pal Leonardo DiCaprio – after Tom lost a bet to his The Revenant co-star.

In 2016, Leo was certain that Tom would bag an Oscar nomination, while Tom said he definately would not.

The pair wagered a tattoo on it, and when Tom was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor gong at the Oscars, he agreed to get the ink.

Now, his right arm clearly reads: “Leo knows all” in large writing.

Leo isn’t the only one to get a permanent tribute, with Tom’s ex-wife, Sarah Ward, the inspiration behind the writing on his lower abdomen.

“Till I die SW,” reads the ink.

His current wife Charlotte also has a place on his body, with her name emblazoned across his shoulder.

Tom has several tattoos written in Italian, despite having no known ties to Italy.

HELEN Flanagan has finally sold her family home for a whopping £500,000 under the asking price.

The former Coronation Street actress, 35, bought the six-bedroom abode with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, whom she split from back in 2022 after 13 years together.

Despite their long-term relationship and three children, the former couple never married and the family home, near Bolton, is solely in footballer Scott’s name.

But since their split, Helen has been living in the home with their kids; Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.

Last year we reported the house was put on sale for £1.5million before being reduced to £995,000.

And now, the house has been marked as sold, subject to contracts, on Rightmove.

Despite the hefty cut from £1.5M to £995,000, the couple will still make profit from the home if it went for it’s final asking price, as it was bought by Scott for £840,000 in 2021.

In addition to its six bedrooms, the impressive home is set across three floors – with a massive walk-in wardrobe and a sprawling garden surrounding the gated home.

In January, we revealed how Scott, 37, was keen to get the home sold, while Helen wasn’t in any rush to move out.

A friend of Helen’s said at the time: “Scott pays for the house and all the bills and he’s decided a six-bedroom place is way too big for Helen on her own with the kids.

“But Helen doesn’t want to move and is digging her heels in.

“She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school and her mum and dad live around the corner.

“Scott wants to buy Helen a four-bedroom home. He’s even offered to put it in her name but wants to stop the maintenance payments.

“The relationship has completely broken down. They no longer communicate — everything goes through her parents.”

But another pal explained Helen has spent a fortune of her own money renovating it.

They said: “The house was really run down and Helen has modernised it and made it into the beautiful family home it is today.

“Scott wants to sell to take the money out, but he hasn’t found Helen or the kids a new place. He’s not being reasonable. He and Helen are not on the same page.”

IT was like a scene straight out of a rom com when Ryan Thomas popped the question to Lucy Mecklenburgh in Positano, Italy, back in June 2019, less than two years after they started dating – and it seemed like the pair would waste no time throwing a huge celeb wedding.

But almost seven years later, the pair haven’t got anywhere close to an altar, and insiders are now telling The Sun they claim to know the real reason their plans to tie the knot appear to be permanently on ice.

Initially, the official line from the couple- who fell in love in 2017 while filming Channel 4 show Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls – was that their nuptials were delayed due to life getting in the way.

After all, the year after they got engaged, the world shut down due to the Covid pandemic, forcing millions across the globe to shelve their weddings.

The pair also went on to have two kids in quick succession – Roman was born in March 2020, and Lilah arrived in the world in May 2022 – so it was understandable that planning their big day took a backseat.

In 2021, Lucy admitted to OK! Magazine that her wedding plans were “on the backburner”, while she also told fans via her instagram stories that she was “still in the engagement bubble but I can’t wait to start planning.”

However, with Roman now six and Lilah turning four next month, any talk of becoming man and wife appears to have gone silent. 

In fact, sources tell us the couple are perfectly happy being ‘perma-engaged’ and raising their little family rather than being legally bound to each other.

And the reason the nuptials are now unlikely to happen? Well, one insider alleges the delay is down to Lucy’s desire to remain financially independent after Ryan’s previous struggles with money.

In 2013, before the pair met, Ryan was declared bankrupt – despite earning £100,000 a year on Coronation Street at the time. 

He spiralled into debt over an unpaid £40,000 tax bill, and while his bankruptcy is now over, it still casts a shadow in his life.

Just last year, The Sun revealed his company R James Thomas Ltd, which takes in cash from his TV and endorsement work, had just £1 in its accounts.

Annual accounts filed to Companies House show just a solitary quid in the company account for the 12 months to the end of January 2025.

At the time, the books also revealed he owed more than £30,000 of a Covid Bounce Back Loan.

Our source explains: “Lucy comes from money – her dad Paul is very wealthy and has an extensive property portfolio, so she and her two sisters will inherit a lot from him one day. Lucy listens to everything her father says, and she has always been very financially literate.

“She was raised to understand money and be very careful with it, and as soon as she started making money from Towie, her dad taught her to make careful investments.

“Ryan, on the other hand, has admitted to making a lot of mistakes with money and not being financially savvy in the past. As much as Lucy loves him, it wouldn’t be entirely sensible for her to legally bind her finances in with Ryan’s, which would be the case if they were man and wife.

“Of course they share some money, and they have property together, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Lucy has been advised to protect her interests – especially her wellness business RWL, which she has worked her backside off to make the UK’s leading at home health and fitness app. 

“Ryan has worked to claw himself back from his previous money woes, and she is really proud of him, but if he ever got into difficulties again, it could affect her credit rating and have big implications for her own finances if they were married.”

In the UK, while bankruptcy is generally wiped from your credit reports after six years, certain bankruptcy restrictions can last up to 15 years.

Furthermore, if an application asks for your full financial history, the bankruptcy must be disclosed, regardless of how long ago it happened.

Despite Ryan’s previous woes, however, another source close to the situation insists the reason Lucy hasn’t wed Ryan has nothing to do with safeguarding her own assets.

Counters a pal: “It’s not true that Lucy doesn’t want to legally merge her finances with Ryan. The reasons they haven’t got married are because they are both parents of two young kids, have busy careers and also weddings are extortionate. It just hasn’t been a priority for them, they are happy as they are.”

Indeed, a Mecklenburgh- Thomas wedding certainly wouldn’t come cheap. The pair have large families, an array of celebrity friends and aren’t the types to do a no-frills affair in a register office followed by drinks down the local boozer.

“To do something on the scale they want would take a lot of cash, and Lucy and Ryan want to pay for a lot of it themselves. Yes, Lucy’s dad’s very wealthy but Ryan is also a proud man and doesn’t want handouts. He’s worked hard to turn his financial situation around, but he wants to give Lucy the wedding of her dreams and that takes years of hard graft to save for.

“Ultmately, there is no rush either. Neither of them feel the pressure to get hitched. They’re fully committed to each other and really happy – a big fancy wedding is nice but it’s not the priority right now. It will happen one day, and when it does it will be incredible and a day they will never forget.”

And even though Ryan is no longer in the red, other high profile members of his family have also experienced financial difficulties

Both of Ryan’s brothers, Adam and Scott, have felt the sting of their businesses going belly up.

Scott’s health and fitness company Food 4 Thoughts collapsed in 2024, which saw Scott lose £75k of his own money while brother Adam lost his £125k investment.

Aside from this, Adam’s own Manchester restaurant The Spinn went into liquidation that same year, owing £300,000.

Adam also has two other failed businesses: vegan food firm Plant Pizzas Ltd, which was struck off in 2022, and a mobile catering venture which closed.

Our insider explains: “The Thomas boys have all made mistakes in business which have cost them a lot of money. They have big dreams and have invested in each other’s brands, but this has come with financial ramifications.

Our insider continues: “Ultimately, Ryan and Lucy are strong and don’t need money issues coming between them, it’s a stress their relationship doesn’t need.

“Ryan is totally happy too. He is a proud man, so wouldn’t push the issue, but he knows Lucy is fully committed to him and they are happy as they are. As time has gone on, they have realised that being committed to each other is about sharing a home and a family, not a big wedding.

“Like a lot of men, Ryan isn’t overly fussed about a big day anyway. To him, what’s important is having a strong relationship, and that’s what he and Lucy have. He doesn’t care about blowing a load of money on a big wedding either, that seems like a waste of cash to him.”

EMMA Watson has sparked mystery as she went to extreme lengths to avoid being pictured with a married star after a lavish dinner date in Hollywood.

The Harry Potter star recently confirmed her secret relationship with billionaire entrepreneur Gonzalo Hevia Baillares.

Just last month they were spotted passionately snogging at the airport after having jetted off on a romantic break.

But now, Emma was seen going to extreme lengths to avoid being papped with Jay Shetty, 38, according to The Mail‘s source.

Emma reportedly had dinner with the former monk and now lifestyle guru at a lavish LA restaurant last week.

The 35-year-old made her swift departure using a different exit to podcast host Jay, the source said.

Taking their seemingly well-thought-out exit a step further, The Mail’s eagle-eyed onlooker told how the pair even “swapped cars,” in a bid to baffle the paps.

Outside the trendy spot, Jay, the British author of Think Like A Monk, was also seen looking after Emma’s dog, Sofia, in a display of manly chivalry.

In September last year, Emma, who is a PHD student at Oxford, appeared on Jay’s podcast, On Purpose With Jay Shetty.

The pair got into a deep conversation on Emma’s love life and she told how marriage is “a miracle,” and while she hopes it may one day happen to her, she doesn’t feel “entitled to it.”

Since the podcast aired, it seems Jay and Emma have struck up a close friendship – so why make a great escape?

It’s not the first time they have been spotted out on the town together, according to The Mail.

Little Women star Emma and celebrity life coach Jay were also seen arriving at Beyoncé and Jay Z‘s Oscar party.

Jay and his wife influencer Radhi Devlukia married in a traditional Hindu ceremony back in 2016.

Celebrating his wedding anniversary back in 2020, he said: “Your laugh is infectious, your dances are hilarious and your heart is so so deep.

“You’re my spiritual inspiration and guide in SO many ways! Thank you for being my wife and loving me!”

Meanwhile, actress Emma is thought to be loved up with her boyfriend Gonzalo.

They didn’t appear to care who saw them last month as she embraced the businessman as they walked through Mexico City airport.

Gonzalo, who is one of Mexico’s most eligible bachelors, is said to be taking his relationship with Emma very seriously – having already introduced her to his parents, a source told The Daily Mail.

CHLOE Madeley and her rugby star ex-husband have proven there’s no bad blood between them these days.

Chloe and James Haskell – who divorced in 2023 after a five-year marriage – took to Instagram to show off some impressive moves, as Chloe used a shirtless James as a human teeterboard.

The former couple – who share daughter Bodhi, three – filmed themselves in a living room, trying to master some one-on-one acrobatics.

Both heavily into fitness, the pair were replicating another social media video of a different couple doing the same routine.

Chloe, 38, was transparent about the potentially eyebrow-raising video, captioning it: “Yea ok it’s a tad unconventional but it’s also top tier content so here we are.”

In the clip, Chloe was seen balancing on James, 41, who showed off his shirtless muscular frame in the process.

Dressed in comfy sweatpants and a hoodie, Chloe sat on the floor in front of her former spouse, facing away from him, as James held onto her arms.

Chloe then attempted to roll backwards several times without much luck, trying to contain their giggles in the process.

The pair eventually managed to pull off the trick, as Chloe rolled into James, placing her feet onto his bare stomach and launching herself upwards.

James clung onto his ex-wife before she toppled forward in fits of laughter.

The pair shocked fans when they split three years ago, after they welcomed their daughter in 2022.

Chloe – who is the daughter of TV duo Richard and Judy – has opened up about the split, branding it “really unbelievably stressful”.

Their divorce was recently finalised, with Chloe saying: “It’s fine now, but the process has been incredibly emotional and volatile.

“We have weeks where everything’s fine and we get on really well. And then we have weeks where we don’t agree on something or someone gets frustrated or angry, and then we don’t speak.”

James is set to appear on the new series of Celebs Go Dating, and insists he discussed it with Chloe ahead of signing up.

Of the decision, he said in a podcast interview earlier this month: “I loved the experience… I went on Celebs Go Dating not necessarily to find love but to showcase myself in a different light.

“I think Celebs Go Dating was a way of going on there, having fun, meeting someone, and I think being very aware that my daughter will be watching one day so being very respectful of my ex.

“I obviously talked to her about it and yeah, I’ve had five dates, they’ve all been lovely people but one I might date again.”

Following their secret split, a source said: “Chloe and James have been fighting for a long time to make a go of their marriage. 

“Having a young baby, and James being away so often would take a toll on anyone. But some of James’ behaviour was upsetting, and he knows that.

“Things are completely civil between them, and they shall remain friends. Bodhi is their number one priority.”
