Fans spotted ex-England footie star Becks had liked a video of the couple posted on Friday after the Messika Womenswear show in Paris.
Brooklyn and Nicola previously told his parents to stop reaching out to them on social media.
Nicola wore a simple black crop top and flashed her abs for the Messika bash.
The event was held two miles from where designer Victoria later unveiled her own collection in the French capital.

Brooklyn, 27, and Nicola, 31, have been estranged from the Beckhams for almost two years.
He claimed his family treated him as a commodity and said: “I do not want to reconcile.”
IT’S supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year – until you spend £250 on a beauty advent calendar that leaves you feeling ripped off.
While most mere mortals won’t get their hands on P. Louise’s latest extravagant design until November, a large number of beauty enthusiasts have ripped theirs open and revealed everything inside it. Spoiler alert – I don’t think it’s worth the cash.

And in a crushing blow to entrepreneur Paige Louise Williams, the general consensus seems to be that her old rival Made By Mitchell – founded by Mitchell Halliday – has a much better offering this year, which I’m told has fuelled their old feud.
My insider said: “Everyone knows beauty advent calendars are big business these days and it means a lot to brands like P. Louise and Mitchell that the fans like them.
“To see people slating her creation is tough, but knowing many prefer Mitchell’s is a hard pill to swallow.
“If anything it will make her even more determined to come out on top next year.”
Known for her extravagant packaging and bold makeup, P. Louise What Glows Around Advent Calendar is a massive pink and gold light-up carousel featuring 25 doors of full-size products.
But the lavish box comes with a hefty price tag of £250, with the brand claiming it’s full of products valued at £500.
In comparison, the Harrod’s beauty advent calendar is £225, but with contents worth over £1k, Fortnum & Mason Beauty Advent Calendar retails for £275, but claims to be worth over £1,225 and the No7 The Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar, comes in at £170 and is worth £550.
Made By Mitchell’s version – called the Apres Ski – is priced at £99 and states that everything included is a brand new product, which makes it difficult to value.
Fans have the option to pay both upfront or in instalments for the P. Louise version, which promises to offer new formulas, flavours and shades made just for Christmas.
If you don’t have £250 lying around, you can pay £25 today and then pay the rest interest free over the next month.
But as unboxing videos flood TikTok, some viewers have been left distinctly underwhelmed. Many consumers feel the calendar is bloated with skincare items rather than makeup the brand is famous for.
Others are questioning the curation of the products altogether.
One person raged: “I think this year’s is the worst. The products do look good, don’t get me wrong, but she should have two different ones now or at least do a proper 50/50 mix of skincare and make-up. For the price I feel like you could get a higher end skincare advent calendar instead.”
One creator was disappointed after a piece broke off her box before she could properly open it. Another declared it “felt like rip off.”
After watching clips online, lots have vowed to cancel their order, with one person commenting: “I’m gutted I’m going to cancel my order. I don’t want boring skincare and a few pieces of generic makeup like mascara and a neutral eyeshadow palette.”
Another frustrated fan questioned the contents, asking: “Is she just putting the stuff that’s not selling in there?”

Whenever P. Louise faces criticism, another name is rarely far behind: Made By Mitchell.
Mitchell Halliday‘s wildly successful beauty brand has also been heavily promoting its own holiday calendar.
And according to many beauty enthusiasts watching the drama unfold, Mitchell has completely outshone his former friend this season.

“Honestly I think this one (P. Louise) is so disappointing compared to other years,” one user noted. “I feel Made by Mitchell have definitely taken the advent crown between the two brands this year.”
Another commented: “I would be disappointed if I paid for this advent calendar this year. I think Made by Mitchell are getting it right. Packaging still on point but the right level of products etc.”
It’s certainly not the first time TikTok Shop juggernauts Paige and Mitchell Halliday have been pitted against each other.
Indeed, the pair have a long history before things went awry.
Mitchell was a star make-up artist and instructor at the P. Louise Makeup Academy and the two frequently collaborated, dominating the UK glam scene together.
However, as Mitchell’s star rose and he eventually branched out to launch his own brand, Made By Mitchell, their close relationship fractured.
Things came to head when they collaborated on a product together in 2019 – the now iconic Paints.
Mitchell claims his name was removed from the product, which led him to make the decision to go it alone. Paige has not publicly commented on the situation.

He admitted the pair no longer speak at all, despite once being so close.
But the split certainly didn’t seem to harm either of them, who have gone on to be really successful.
Paige started out in life with humble beginnings on a council estate but is now amassing a huge net worth of £100 million thanks to her overnight success online.
We reported how last year alone, Paige raked in a whopping £71.3 million for her cosmetics.
The 31-year-old founded the P. Louise Make-up Academy and salon back in 2014 in Manchester before expanding to produce her own cosmetics line.
She was able to kickstart her passion project with a £20,000 loan from her grandmother and is now reaping the rewards for her tenacity.
In 2024, the brand broke records by making £1.5m in 12 hours while promoting the beauty products on a TikTok Shop Live.
It’s been an extraordinary journey but not without its controversies.
Last Christmas her Pinkmas event was cancelled after issues with the licensing process.
The event was supposed to run from December 1 to January 4 and was meant to include attractions including a pink ice skating rink and a pantomime performance.
Tickets had been priced at £60 for off peak times and £80 for peak times – leaving fans gutted it didn’t take place.
But as Pinkmas showed, a bump in the road – or a backlash on TikTok – rarely keeps Paige down for long.
While Mitchell may have snatched the advent crown this year, we imagine Paige is already plotting her payback for next year.
BOY George has claimed he was uninvited to a friend’s memorial while paying tribute to them in a touching social media post.
The Culture Club, 65, singer took to social media to remember his friend and fashion designer Pam Hogg, who died in November last year aged 74.

Today George shared an image of Pam – who dressed the likes of Kate Moss, Beyonce, Debbie Harry and Princess Eugenie – and wrote: “Remembering my friend Pam Hogg who is being celebrated today by friends.
“I was uninvited but I am there in spirit. God Bless you Pam.”

Thank you!
George and Pam were friends for decades, having first met in the eighties at Covent Garden’s Blitz club where he worked the cloakroom before finding fame with Culture Club.
They were present for huge milestones in each other’s lives, with George sitting front row at many of her fashion shows and Pam attending events including his 50th birthday party.
Fans were quick to comment on George’s post, with one writing: “It’s always sad when politics divide friends. Stay strong George, you don’t need to be invited to a party in order to remember your friend.”
Another said: “That’s low to uninvite you, I hope you can celebrate her on your own or with other good friends.”
And a third added: “That is sad on so many levels. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.”
At the time of Pam’s death last year, George shared his sadness and spoke of the designer’s legacy.
He said: “I’m sad to learn of the death of Pam Hogg who was a true original and who knew absolutely everyone on the London fashion and art scene.
“It’s quite shocking how many true originals are leaving us of late.”
There were rows aplenty on ABC sitcom Modern Family, but there was an even bigger one behind the scenes and Jesse Tyler Ferguson says the rest of the cast just got used to it
14:13, 28 Sep 2026Updated 14:13, 28 Sep 2026

Jesse Tyler Ferguson says the Modern Family set could be an awkward place after admitting a show feud made things difficult.
The long-running hit show starred the likes of Ed O’Neil, Sofia Vergara, Eric Stonestreet, Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould, before ending in 2020 after 11 years. The much-loved programme featured three different but interconnected branches of the same large family living in suburban Los Angeles.
But it seems the feel-good ABC sitcom was hiding a secret – its two creators Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan didn’t get on at all following a huge fall-out, and it caused uncomfortableness behind the scenes.
Things became so strained that the writers’ room was divided in two, with duties alternating on an episode-by-episode basis between the two brains behind the comedy. Jesse, who played Mitchell Pritchett for more than a decade, says the stars learned to deal with the new direction.
“Basically, we had divorced parents leading the show,” the actor said in an interview with the Independent. “Our creators just decided to go separate ways. I thought it was a big secret that no one really knew about.
“It was like we had a week with this parent, and then a week with that parent. And we all just learnt that that’s how it works.
“It gave the show a really interesting balance that I think a lot of people didn’t even notice was happening – I still can’t believe after 11 seasons that the show was as successful as it was, with that sort of division of power, really.”
The comedy ran for an impressive 250 episodes, and many of its actors have gone on to enjoy a lot of success.
Jesse enjoyed a successful theatre career before joining the cast of Modern Family, where he earned several Emmy nominations alongside his on-screen husband Cameron Tucker.
Aside from the ABC show, he has appeared as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance from 2011 to 2013 and hosted Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in 2020. He has also landed roles in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and 2023 disaster film Cocaine Bear.
The star also won his first Tony for his performance in the Broadway revival of Take Me Out in 2022.
His on-screen love Cameron Tucker , played by Eric Stonestreet, tied the knot with fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer on his birthday last year.
The longtime couple announced the incredible news in a series of photos shared on Instagram.
Before the shoe Eric was known for his role as Ronnie Litre on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He has also appeared in films like 2011’s Bad Teacher and 2013’s Identity Thief.
Since the show, Stonestreet has portrayed Magnus Antas on Disney+’s The Santa Clauses and also took up a hosting role on the Fox competition series Domino Masters.
IT’s been three years since Chloe Sims and her siblings had a relationship-ending on-screen spat.
The bitter feud played out on the short-lived series, House of Sims, which followed their glamorous move to Hollywood – with a furious Chloe cutting contact with sisters Demi and Frankie after they returned to the UK.

Now, in a shocking turn of events the girls have all been under one roof at a family event for the first time.
A source close to the family spilled all, telling The Sun: “Nobody thought Chloe would bury the hatchet with her sisters Frankie and Demi, as things had soured so badly between them.
“If you’d have asked anyone a couple of years ago, they would have said relations were likely to remain strained for good.
“But recently they all came together for their dad Tony’s 65th birthday as he had a big party in London and they have taken big steps in getting their relationship back on track.
“There are still old wounds and hurt there, so they aren’t quite back to the tight relationship they once had but this is huge progress.”
Our insider went on to reveal how Chloe’s daughter is the key player in attempting to heal family relations within the Sims household.
They told us: “Chloe posed for lots of pictures with Frankie and Demi, which were shared on her daughter Madison’s Instagram, and it was lovely to see this development.
“Maddie has remained close to her aunties throughout this rift, and hated it when her mum wasn’t speaking to them.
“She always dreamed that they would come back together one day, and she was pretty instrumental in helping pave the way for that to happen.
“At the end of the day, Chloe loves Maddy more than anything in the world, and hates seeing her upset, so it was important for her to work on her relationship with her sisters and bring the family back together again.”
Our source continued: “Time can be a great healer, and a lot of the things they fought about seem quite petty now.
“Of course there are still issues that they need to work through, but they’ve realised they were all under quite a lot of pressure when they moved to the States for their own reality show, House of Sims, and it didn’t always bring out the best in any of them.
“Now that they are no longer a family business in that sense, and a lot of water has gone under the bridge they can slowly go back to remembering the good times.”

Chloe is said to be missing her family as she still splits her time between the US and the UK.
The source said: “As she sees her parents getting older, she realises life is too short to have family feuds.
“Her dad’s recent birthday get-together was a catalyst to sort out a lot of the beef and the resentments, and just let it all go and move forward.
“They’re taking baby steps but it’s huge progress compared with where they were at.”
The Sun has contacted the sisters’ representatives for a comment.
Looking back on three years ago, Frankie and Demi were furious as all four siblings were paying equally towards the apartment, yet Georgia wasn’t contributing financially and still getting credit.

The ensuing clash led to drinks being thrown, Chloe branding her sisters ‘evil users’ and Frankie and Demi leaving LA for good.
Last year, a source told how Chloe’s closeness with her brother’s fiancée, Georgia Shults, was the main factor behind why things turned sour between the former TOWIE brood.
A pal of the Sims clan told us: “It’s as if Chloe and Georgia are sisters now, and Frankie and Demi are strangers to them. Frankie and Demi basically felt like they were pushed out, and Chloe has no time for them anymore.”
Meanwhile, sources in Chloe’s camp said she didn’t expect Demi and Frankie to “kiss her a**” but she was on TOWIE first and “paved the way for them to have a platform and felt they have ever acknowledged that.”
They said: “With Georgia, she feels like she gets the sisterly love and support she’s not had from Frankie and Demi. Georgia always has her back and sometimes ‘family’ is about more than just sharing the same DNA.
As for Georgia, she felt like Frankie and Demi are making her the scapegoat.
Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has spoken out about a family feud
Coleen Nolan reveals heartbreaking family feud ‘I lost those relationships’(Image: ITV)
Coleen Nolan has opened up about a sad family rift in which some members of her family have ‘never spoken to her again’.
The beloved presenter returned to screens on Wednesday (September 23) for Loose Women. Along with Coleen, the panel consisted of Kaye Adams, Janet Street Porter and Jane Moore.
While on the show, the conversation turned to the topic of Earl Spencer’s book – which has made plenty of headlines. “I think that’s the thing when you’re writing your memoir. You can only do it from your perspective and your truth,” Coleen said.
She then shared that she waited until her mum and dad passed away before writing and releasing her own autobiography. Coleen said: “My mom and dad weren’t alive because I knew it would really hurt my mom to hear some of the things that I was going to say my truth about my dad.
“He was a brilliant dad. But had his moments where he wasn’t, and that would have upset my mom.” Coleen then shared that, due to her memoir, a family rift erupted.
She said: “Now, because I wrote those things, I had my dad’s side of the family, a couple of his sisters who never spoke to me again because of that, because they never saw him like that, and he was their golden boy, he was the only boy in the family. They absolutely idolised him.
“Even though I said he was a great dad, he drank too much for me and I didn’t like him when he was drunk and those kinds of things. I had to accept that. I lost those relationships.”
Jane Moore then asked Coleen: “Do you think that’s because you did it publicly? If you’d have that conversation with them privately, would you have carried on speaking to them?”
Coleen replied: “No, they were never, ever, ever gonna believe that. They just didn’t see anything bad at all. And, that’s okay.”
The TV star has been open about the relationship with her father – who died in the 90s – over the years. In 2024, she explained on Loose Women how she would be “scared” whenever her dad Tommy would return home from the pub at weekends.
“My dad was quite a big drinker and I think he’s the reason I became almost phobic about, well not about drink but about drunk people,” Coleen said. She added: “And even now I love when people get tipsy and have a good time but as soon as they cross that line to where their personality changes I have to leave.
“I can’t stand it because I don’t know whether it’s gonna go aggressive, you can see it in their face can’t you? That’s where I’ve gotta leave, and that stems from, as a kid, watching my dad.
“He was a brilliant dad but at weekends he’d come home and he was the quiet drunk and that scared me more because I knew he was in that mood. So that sent me the other way.”
Loose Women airs Monday to Friday at 12:30pm on ITV1.
Dolly Parton’s estate has reportedly accused the late singer’s nephew of extortion and threats against staff.
On Tuesday, Parton’s estate, She’s Alive, LLC, requested a restraining order against Parton’s nephew Bryan Seaver, court records show. The request came after he was fired from his job as head of security, as TMZ reported.
She’s Alive is run by Parton’s former manager Danny Nozell.
The New York Times reviewed court records containing allegations that Seaver began making demands shortly before Parton died. The demands grew into more serious threats, according to the records the news outlet cited, which the plaintiffs saw as an attempt to obtain money from the Parton estate.
Here’s what to know.
Who is Bryan Seaver?
Parton’s nephew, Bryan Seaver, shared the news of his aunt’s death in a video posted to her Instagram account on Aug. 25.
In the video, Seaver, standing in front of a black background, introduces himself as the the son of Dolly’s sister Cassie Parton and says he is representing the Parton and Owens family in announcing his aunt’s death. The Owens are the maternal side of the country star’s family.
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,” he says in the video.
Seaver adds that he followed in his father Larry’s footsteps in becoming Parton’s head of security, a post he held for more than 20 years.
Seaver and his company, Squadron Augmented Protection Services, LLC, are the defendants in the lawsuit. They were reportedly terminated about three weeks after the country icon’s death.
Seaver did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment.
According to the New York Times’ reporting on the court records, the restraining order request, filed in Davidson County Chancery Court in Nashville, sought to keep Seaver away from Parton’s properties and staff.
Who is Danny Nozell?
Nozell was Parton’s longtime manager. He has claimed credit for helping revive Parton’s international touring career.
He told The Times last month that Parton “worked up until the day she died” on multiple projects.
“She loved seeing her dreams come to life, and loved knowing her work brought people joy,” Nozell said in the statement. “Ever the planner, Dolly worked with the team that she handpicked, for the past several years to build a project roadmap that will guide us for decades to come.”
Nozell’s website described his work with Parton as “arguably his most notable achievements.”
What are the allegations?
The court records, according to the New York Times, include allegations that Seaver sent a profane threat to a Dollywood business partner, and that, separately, he referred to himself as a “killer” and “not an entertainment person” while corresponding with one of Parton’s longtime lawyers.
According to TMZ, Seaver and his team said in a statement that they were “dismayed by the … unexplained actions” following Parton’s death and “[w]e remain unshakably resolved to fulfill her final directive to protect her family, and we refuse to be intimidated by those whose actions we believe are being taken in bad faith and with the intent to profit from the life of someone who willingly gave so much.”
HAYDEN Panettiere’s mother and boyfriend have reportedly been banned from her memorial amid a nasty family feud.
Lesley Vogel, Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach were left off the list for the tragic actress’ celebration of life in Malibu on Saturday, according to reports.

TMZ reported on Friday that the trio will not be welcomed at the event, where 150 guests are expected to attend.
Hayden’s dad Skip Panettiere will be there, as well as celebrity friends.

As The U.S. Sun reported, Hayden was found dead in a Greenville, South Carolina Airbnb on August 16, where she was staying with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian. She was just 36.
Despite the EMTs efforts, Hayden – who admittedly suffered from addiction in recent years – was soon declared dead.
Authorities believe she took a black-market oxycodone pill laced with fentanyl, though the official cause of death has not yet been determined.
Hayden was estranged from her mother at the time of her death, and slammed her in her memoir released earlier this year.
Hayden claimed her mother was furious when she severed their professional relationship, wanting to just focus on their personal bond instead.

“Although my daughter and I were estranged, it was not for lack of care or love. It was due to the involvement of a toxic individual who I believe led to her death,” she said, pointing fingers at Brian.
“Hayden was a beautiful and talented young woman who unfortunately became involved with the wrong person, and although her family tried to extricate him from her life, we were unable to be successful.”
And Hayden’s loved ones had been weary of Brian’s presence in her life, after the couple first started dating in 2018.
He had been arrested multiple times for assaulting her, and even served jail time for punching and choking her in the past.
Months before her death, Hayden insisted he was out of her life, but recent reports claimed they were secretly still together in her final days.
AN AMERICAN heavy metal group has confirmed they are locked in a legal battle with the estate of their late bandmate.
The Blood and Thunder hitmakers have been forced to release a statement to their Instagram page addressing the previously-unearthed feud and how they will proceed.

Oblivion singers Mastodon, a Grammy-nominated band formed in Atlanta, told how what they deem a “meritless lawsuit” is centred on their late Brent Hinds.
The band’s guitarist Brent quit the group in March 2025 after 25 years together, prior to his death in a motorcycle crash in the August.

The group’s founding member passed aged 51, after his Harley-Davidson collided with a BMW SUV.
Prior to his death it appeared there were frictions between the musician and the band, and this only seems to have developed a year since the tragedy.

Mastodon have now told of the fresh legal woe and uploaded a statement which read: “Sadly, a private business dispute with the estate of our dear departed friend Brent Hinds was made public.
“We strongly deny allegations of ill intent on our part and intend to vigorously defend what we believe is a meritless lawsuit.
“We don’t intend to speak publicly on this going forward, as we feel this wouldn’t honour Brent’s memory or the legacy of his musical gifts”.
Fans were quick to respond to support the group, who now are formed of Troy Sanders, Bill Kelliher, Brann Dailor, Nick Johnston and João Nogueira.
One wrote: “Nobody’s business but yours. The fans are here for the music my guys. Congrats on the excellent new album”.
A second put: “We love Brent, we love Mastodon”.
A third posted: “This is really disheartening. Hoping things can be resolved”.
Last year, Brent told Billboard that his departure from the group was not mutual.
He then said the remaining members “kicked me out”.
This came after the band said they had “mutually decided to part ways”.
The new lawsuit has seen a civil complaint filed by the Hind estate, against the band’s members, on behalf of the late musician on September 3 according to loudwire.com.
As per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the lawsuit claims Mastodon failed to pay Brent for his share of the business after his exit.
It claims although the wheels were in motion for the group to buy him out of his share in “band related business” he had not in fact signed the paperwork prior to his passing.
As such, it claims his stake remains valid.
Representatives for his estate also suggest Brent’s image was also used to present the band’s Marrow Deep album, in the same legal challenge.
The lawsuit claimed: “Defendants selected and placed a recognizable image of Brent on the album cover of Marrow Deep and disseminated that cover to advertise, market, distribute and sell physical albums, digital downloads and streams, merchandise and related goods or services”.
