SELENA Gomez has officially married Benny Blanco in a romantic ceremony with A-list guests.

The pair tied the knot in Santa Barbara, California, which The U.S. Sun exclusively learned would be the destination earlier this month.

The couple confirmed their engagement in December 2024, with Selena flashing her gorgeous diamond ring on social media.

Benny, 37, popped the question after weeks of speculation that they were engaged, following Selena’s showcase of her new bling on the Emmys red carpet.

It happened over a year after the pair’s romance began in June 2023.

Fans knew the wedding was near when Selena, 33, posted photos on Instagram from her bachelorette bash in late August.

The Lose You to Love Me singer looked happy while donning a white bikini and a short veil during the beach getaway.

She’d already appeared to settle into her new life with the music producer, as the U.S. exclusively reported in March that the pair took out an over $20million mortgage on their $35million Beverly Hills mansion.

The lavish purchase came shortly before the duo released their first joint album, I Said I Love You First, which dropped on March 21.

It was initially thought that Selena and Benny’s wedding would be a ways away, after the songwriter, born Benjamin Joseph Levin, told Rolling Stone that they were taking their relationship “one day at a time.”

At the time, the Virginia native said they were enjoying their engagement and not rushing to the altar.

Benny also gushed about being “so sure” that he was going to marry Selena and how his feelings for her were “very different” from anything he’d ever experienced.

The multi-Grammy Award nominee previously dated model Elsie Hewitt before becoming romantically involved with Selena.

Meanwhile, Selena has had numerous high-profile relationships over the years, including Nick Jonas, Charlie Puth, Zedd, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber.

The former Disney Channel star had the longest relationship with Justin, whom she dated on and off for eight years before splitting for good in March 2018.

At the time, a source told Us Weekly: “Selena started seeing the bigger picture when it came to their relationship, like what was more important: her general happiness and her family and friends’ approval, or her being together with Justin, where no one really supported their relationship.”

A year earlier, the Sonny with a Chance alum told Miami’s Power 96.5 FM, “I’m the kind of girl that loves tremendously big. I just have always been that girl.”

“I will give my heart and my soul to the person that I love. It’s just how I operate.”

Benny has spoken about how he supports Selena and gained her trust following her past heartbreaks.

“I’m aware of her strengths and I’m aware of her weakness, and so what I’ve tried to do is surround her with things that help,” Benny said during the couple’s joint appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast earlier this year.

He also admitted to nearly self-sabotaging their relationship in the beginning, saying, “I feel like it all happens for a reason. I feel like maybe me doing that is what disarmed her enough.”

Marisa, who enjoyed a boozy hen do last month with her pals, tied the knot with Jamie on Saturday.

The happy couple opted for a theme of Hollywood glamour, and thought the Firle Place in East Sussex made the perfect venue for this.

Speaking to Vogue on her big day, Marisa revealed: “Things really fell into place once we found our ceremony and dinner locations.

“We wanted to lean into our love of classic, nostalgic romance with our ceremony.”

She added: “Firle Place is such a beautiful home with so much character, and I fell in love with the drama of those big blue doors. 

Marisa made a beautiful bride and went for classic silk wedding dress which took over 250 hours to make.

The gown, which was designed by Emilia Wickstead, oozed elegance and had a constructed corset and draped off the shoulder.

Speaking about her dress, she told the fashion magazine: “We are both theatrical.

“And we don’t shy away from a touch of drama when it feels appropriate, so I knew I wanted my wedding dress to feel like a real moment.”

Talking about her choice of designer, she added: “Emilia creates dresses with such timeless elegance that I knew she would understand my references immediately,”

GETTING ENGAGED

Marisa is well known for starring in the Amy Winehouse movie, Back To Black.

And in a nod to the Amy, Marisa’s new husband popped the question in one of the late singer’s favourite places.

It came after he chose Primrose Hill to get down on one knee, which is nearby to the Rehab star’s beloved Camden.

Jamie asked Marisa to marry him in July, 2024, and sharing the moment at the time on Instagram he joked: “She said she’ll think about it!”

BECOMING A STAR

Marisa first found fame as posh and seductive investment banker Yasmin in sex-fuelled BBC drama Industry.

This then led to her being cast in the Sam Taylor-Johnson directed Amy Winehouse movie Back To Black last year.

Before finding fame Marisa was set on becoming a human rights lawyer, and accepted a place at University College London to study history.

But she turned it down in favour of a spot at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) – which in turn led to her meeting Jamie.

She told Vogue: “We were best friends throughout the course, and Jamie finally asked me out when we were graduating in 2019.

“We’ve been together ever since.”

And proud girlfriend Attwood, who has been dating the former England star since they were teenagers, marked the occasion by posting a heartwarming ode to her beau on her Instagram story.

The tribute came in the form of a collage, which included photos of themselves from their teenage years all the way to a recent romantic holiday.

Attwood’s caption, which was emblazoned across the images, read: “Happy 30th birthday, babe.

“Teens, twenties and now going into our 30s together.”

Grealish and Attwood welcomed their first child, Mila, into the world last September.

And Attwood also shared a picture of her family to mark her other half’s big day with the accompanying caption: “Happy birthday, we love you.”

Grealish celebrated his birthday with a festival-themed party aptly named “Grealfields”.

The winger shared a series of photos from the do on his Instagram page with the accompanying caption: “0!! Jeeez this one feels old!

“But really, I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in ages!

“Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes.

“And a big thank you to all my incredible family & friends for making my 30th one to remember last week! Grealfields

Grealish joined Everton on a season-long loan last month.

Upon his arrival at the Merseyside club, he said: “It’s massive for me, honestly.

“This is a great club, with great fans. As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go.

“On social media, I’ve been flooded with messages from Everton supporters.

“So there’s that side of it as well and that’s another reason why I chose Everton.

“I want to say thank you to the fans for all of the messages I’ve had already.

“Thank you for all of the love and support. I hope I can repay you now and I’m sure I will.”

Grealish has shown glimpses of the form that prompted City to spend £100million on him in the summer of 2021, racking up four assists in three appearances for David Moyes‘ side.

Grealish and his team-mates will be back in action on Saturday when Everton travel to Birmingham to take on his former club, Aston Villa.

Nestle has fired its chief executive after just one year in the job because he failed to disclose a “romantic relationship” with a “direct subordinate”.

The Swiss food giant, which makes Kit Kat chocolate bars and Nespresso coffee capsules, said Laurent Freixe had been dismissed with “immediate effect” following an investigation led by Nestle’s chair and lead independent director.

The BBC understands the inquiry was triggered by a report made through the company’s whistleblowing channel.

Nestle chair Paul Bulcke said: “This was a necessary decision. Nestlé’s values and governance are strong foundations of our company. I thank Laurent for his years of service at Nestlé.”

The relationship was with an employee who is not on the executive board and the investigation began because it represented a conflict of interest, the BBC has learned.

As well as Mr Bulcke, independent director Pablo Isla oversaw the inquiry into Mr Freixe “with the support of independent outside counsel”.

The Financial Times has reported that concerns were raised about Mr Freixe’s relationship with an employee earlier this year and, after an internal investigation, the claims were found to be unsubstantiated.

After the complaints persisted, the newspaper reports that Nestle conducted another investigation with help from outside counsel after which the claims were upheld.

A spokesperson for Nestle said: “We acted at all times in line with best practice corporate governance.

“The external investigation was opened shortly after the initial internal investigation, and today’s decision shows that we are taking allegations and investigations seriously.”

Mr Freixe had been with Nestle for nearly 40 years but stepped up to the global chief executive role last September, replacing Mark Schneider.

Nestle confirmed that he will not receive an exit package.

The BBC has contacted Mr Freixe for comment.

Philipp Navratil, who has been with Nestle since 2001, has been appointed as Mr Freixe’s successor.

Mr Bulcke said the company was “not changing course on strategy and we will not lose pace on performance”.

Mr Bulcke is set to step down as chair next year and Mr Isla, the former boss of Zara-owner Inditex, has been proposed as his replacement.

Other companies have parted ways with their chief executives following investigations into their personal relationships with colleagues.

BP chief executive Bernard Looney, who led the oil giant for three years, quit after admitting he was not “fully transparent” initially.

Steve Easterbrook was fired by McDonald’s in 2019 after it found he had a consensual relationship with an employee.

But McDonald’s said a further investigation found that the British executive had three additional relationships with staff.

He initially received $105m (£77.5m) in a severance package which he later returned. In 2023, he was fined $400,000 by the US financial watchdog for misleading investors. He paid the penalty without admitting or denying the claims.

More and more Brits are choosing to ditch their annual holidays with their family and instead head out for some fun with their friends – from birthdays to honeymoons and wellness resets

More and more Brits are ditching the traditional family holiday or romantic getaway to go on breaks with friends, according to new research.

Overall, 36% of people said they preferred to travel with pals than partners or relatives – but that number soared to 60% for Londoners. The study, commissioned by mobile provider giffgaff, found that four is the perfect number of travelling buddies with birthday blowouts (57%) topping the list of reasons Brits want a ‘hunnymoon’.

Wanting some fun (51%), escaping the kids (25%), a chance to focus on health and wellness (19%) and celebrating friendship anniversaries (17%) were also on the list. But though we may opt to travel with friends rather than family, Brits are still keen to keep in touch.

Around 39% said contacting loved ones at home was the top reason to use mobile data on holiday. Ash Schofield, CEO at giffgaff, said: “It’s clear that as a nation we love to stay connected while abroad and share news and pictures of our holidays with friends and family back home.

“But our research shows that people are rationing or denying themselves data usage while away, which must be quite limiting and frustrating at times. That’s why giffgaff makes sure that members stay connected with up to 5GB of inclusive roaming in 40+ EU and selected destinations at no extra cost. ”

To celebrate the UK’s love of a group getaway and the launch of its new travel data add-ons available in 40+ EU countries and selected destinations, giffgaff is opening a pop-up travel lounge this weekend (August 23 and 24) by the Gatwick Express platform at London Victoria Station.

The survey found that access to a departure lounge was on the holiday wish list for 43% of us, so the Holidata Lounge has been created to get ‘hun-in-the-sun’ fun started early. Perks feature those identified as setting travellers up for the ultimate holiday, including complimentary drinks (56%), free travel treats such as sun cream (50%) and assistance with roaming or mobile data before take-off (23%).

Holidaymakers can also relax in the lounge’s Ball Pool Bar or limber up for their flight with Air-obics sessions Giffgaff customers have priority access to the lounge via an exclusive queue jump.

Is there anything more glamorous than an overnight train? Even when you’re climbing aboard wearing your husband’s raincoat, carrying an oat-encrusted car seat, with a six-month-old in a sling and an apple core fermenting gently and secretly in the side pocket of your rucksack?

Not that I know of. I love travelling by train – even now, when it’s as comprehensively bad as British rail privatisation has made it for, well, just about everyone save a few shareholders and the CEO of Pumpkin Cafe. But travelling at night? With the whisper of romance in the buffet car, the flash of sunset from the vestibule and a white-sheeted bunk bed to call your own? I love it even more.

Fourteen minutes before being invited on to the night train from London to Penzance, you would have found me in the customer lounge, eating shortbread and drinking apple juice like a woman who has just been told she must consume 7,000 calories in 15 minutes or the whole of Paddington station is going to blow. Luckily, I wasn’t averting an extremely specific act of terrorism; I was just getting my money’s worth because, let me tell you, night trains aren’t cheap. My husband and son managed to get to Italy and back by rail for less than it cost me to cross the Tamar on Great Western Rail.

But then again, can you really put a price on the extremely low-key glamour of washing your feet in the basin of a cabin that’s approximately the dimensions of an understairs coat rack but with more lighting options than my entire house? To lose none of your holiday but be offered a shower at five in the morning at Truro station? To wake up in the middle of the night and take a pee outside Plymouth at 80mph? To get porridge delivered to your door by a woman in a bottle-green polyester uniform before looking out of the window and muttering “Erth?” This is heaven. Or as Philip Larkin wrote, probably while on the 21.19 British Rail service to Hull: “Here is unfettered existence: Facing the sun, untalkative, out of reach.”

BROOKLYN Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have shared a series of romantic snaps from their recent wedding vow renewal.

The ceremony was officiated by Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson – but Brooklyn’s parents David and Victoria were absent as their family feud rumbles on.

Brooklyn and Nicola said ‘I do’ again on Nicola’s family estate on August 2 in Westchester County, New York.

Three years after they first tied the knot, the couple decided to have a low key ceremony to reaffirm their love for each other.

Brooklyn captioned the snaps “Only love” alongside a white heart emoji.

He also referred to Nicola as “Forever my girl.”

A BRITISH grandad accused of trying to drown his daughter-in-law pleaded with cops that he is not in a relationship with her, The Sun can reveal.

Family sources claim Mark Gibbon, 62, has secretly been dating Jasmine Wyld – the mother of his grandchildren – for years.

He was arrested last week and charged with attempted murder after allegedly forcing her head underwater at a Florida resort pool during a row over his will.

But despite reports of a love affair, both Gibbon and Wyld, 33, denied to cops they were a couple.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office told The Sun the pair had been quizzed on the status of their relationship.

A detective asked Gibbon and mum-of-two Wyld “about their relationship to determine if the incident would be classified as domestic violence”.

They both denied being in a romantic relationship, however.

It comes after a family source told the Daily Mail how the pair had grown close after Gibbon split from his partner and Wyld split from his son Alex.

The insider claimed: “Mark and Jasmine have been seeing each other for a few years, but they’ve never admitted it.

“[The couple] do an awful lot together and they go away on holiday with the children a couple of times every year.”

Gibbon is divorced from his wife and lives alone at a £800,000 semi-detached home in Beaconsfield he purchased in 2023.

Wyld – a hairdresser – separated from Gibbon’s son Alex, 34, back in 2021.

They share two young children together.

Just two years after they separated, Alex, 34, was jailed for trying to run over his dad in a £80,000 Porsche Cayenne in Beaconsfield, Bucks.

As well as assaulting his father, Alex also pleaded guilty to harassing ex-wife Wyld.

Alex was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court to 25 months in jail, a 36-month disqualification from driving, a five-year restraining order, plus a surcharge.

The dad was released from jail around six months ago and went to move in with his mum, who had divorced Gibbon some years earlier.

Alex and his father also became embroiled in a public row in 2023 after Alex left his dad’s business for an unknown reason.

The family source confirmed that Alex and Gibbon no longer speak.

They added: “He feels an awful betrayal at how his dad has struck up a relationship with the mother of his two children.”

Gibbon – a lighting technician, who runs his own firm called MRG Lighting – is now being held in Polk County Jail and is due in court next week over the attempted murder charge levelled against him.

He and Wyld were on holiday at the Solterra Resort in Devenport, near Disney World, Florida with Wyld’s two children – Gibbon’s grandkids.

The reported couple started arguing over the “stipulations of his wilL” while by the pool, according to US police.

Gibbon then pushed Wyld’s head “under the water and held her down multiple times”, the arrest affidavit claims.

The mum told cops she “could not breathe and believed that she was going to drown”.

Police say Wyld was forced to “fight Mark in order to get away from him and from under the water but he kept pushing her back under”.

Her nine-year-old daughter then leapt to her mother’s defence but was pushed away by Gibbon, it is claimed.

Wyld is reported to have called out to two women in the distance and screamed at them to call 911.

Gibbon now faces one count of attempted murder and two counts of battery.

When questioned, Gibbon allegedly admitted to pushing Jasmine underwater, but insisted he hadn’t been trying to drown her.

The grandad is due in court on Monday.

Netflix has added the romantic drama We Live In Time to trtheir streaming platform and viewers are not only obsessed by it but revealed they can’t stop ‘sobbing’

Netflix has once again done what is does best by adding gripping drama to its streaming platform. And this time, the romantic drama We Live In Time has gripped the nation by storm.

The British based TV show, starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, follows the couple’s love story over a decade.

Alumut, played by Florence, who is a chef and former figure skater accidentally hits and knocks over Tobias, played by Andrew, with her car.

Viewers are then taken on their love journey as the pair navigate their way through ten years of different points in their lives.

The film was first released in cinemas across the nation in January this year before landing on Netflix. But it’s already fast become a huge hit among subscribers.

The official plot reads: “Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield) are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives. !”

It adds: “As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken, in filmmaker John Crowley’s decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.”

And viewers are loving it. One fan took to X and said that she could not sobbing after watching the highly acclaimed drama.

The fan said: “Finally watched we live in time and I’m so grateful I didn’t watch in the cinema I’ve not stopped sobbing.”

But that fan is by no means the only one. According to reports, the drama has received 79% on film website Rotten Tomatoes.

Those reviewing the drama on the site praised the believable chemistry between both lead characters.

After the show’s debut at at the Toronto Film Festival last year, the Guardian awarded it four stars and described it as “irresistible” and a “smart and sensitive crowd pleaser.”

It then added: “It’s such a joy to watch two such assured and natural performers allowed the room to exercise both movie star and actor muscles as well as showcase their ease with both comedy and drama.”

The review went on to add: “Their chemistry is just so electric that it would be hard to imagine how any of it could work quite so well without them.”

And in an interview with Radio Times, the director, John Crowley was asked about the chemistry between the two lead stars.

He explained: “I had an instinct that the two of them would work well together, and that’s not based on anything. That’s just a hunch, right? So it’s very unscientific.”

B&Q has launched a £9.75 decoration that works as the perfect backdrop for your summer garden parties.

The simple but sweet ornament can turn any space into a romantic haven for a very affordable price.

B&Q’s Artificial Grass Wall Panels – decorated with dahlia roses and hydrangeas – are the perfect choice if you want to spice up your garden or bring some warm colours into your indoor living spaces.

And at just £9.75, they’re an absolute bargain.

Each panel measures 40x60cm and contains a number of flowers tied to a grate.

The products, sold and shipped by Garden Sanctuary, aren’t stocked in B&Q stores but you can order them online.

This comes just days after shoppers raced to B&Q stores to grab the perfect budget friendly product to elevate their gardens and add instant privacy to their outdoor space.

There’s nothing worse than sitting outside with a glass of wine and a good book, only to realise that your nosy neighbour is peeking at you over the fence.

Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive – and can sometimes lead to disagreements with neighbours.

Paul CEO of plants and perennials specialists J. Parker’s revealed that one stylish way of creating privacy in your garden is by planting ornamental grasses.

He said: “Grasses can be used easily to create internal screens or hedges that flower beautifully, move in the slightest breeze, and need little care during the summer months.

“I recommend silvergrass or pampas grass to not only conceal your garden, but to introduce interesting textures.

“Their fast growth rate makes ornamental grasses ideal for privacy hedges because new plants can rapidly fill in any gaps.”

B&Q’s Stipa Pony Tails Ornamental Grass is currently priced at £10.49, making it a perfect solution for penny pinchers.

The height of the plant when you purchase it will be 30-45cm, but ornamental grass can grow up to three metres tall.

The plant is low maintenance, so won’t cause you any stress, plus its feathery plumes will elevate the look of your garden into a stylish haven.

Additionally, B&Q slashed the price of an ornament – that helps your patio seem bigger – to just £11 last week.

The Ornamental Prunus Incisa “Kojo-no-Mai” Fuji Cherry Tree is available for just £10.79.

Usually referred to as the cherry tree, this plant has a compact, rounded shape and a gently spreading habit.

This makes it suitable for planting in small gardens or areas with limited space.

Garden designer Karen McClure explained that adding plants to your patio space would help it to seem bigger.

“Use ornamental feature trees,” she advised anyone struggling with limited outdoor space.

“Multi-stem specimens in particular can be kept to a controlled height in a large feature pot, and can create a lovely focal point as well as give interest at a higher level. Be bold.”

She added that the number of plant varieties should be kept to a minimum.

“Too many varieties can create a busy and chaotic feel, whereas a simple planting palette will feel harmonised, soothing, and calm,” she said.

LOUIS Tomlinson and Zara McDermott’s chemistry was on full display during their Costa Rica holiday.

The One Direction star and Love Island beauty couldn’t keep their hands off each other on a sun-soaked day out.

They were spotted hiring a quad bike, with Louis, 33, taking the lead as they cruised through town.

The History singer wore an orrange T-shirt and white shorts, which he teamed with black sunglasses and a baseball cap.

Zara, 28, stunned in loose white trousers and a crop top layered over her green bikini.

At one point Louis puffed on a cigarette while they waited for their ride, with a smitten Zara wrapping her arms around him.

Louis returned the affection by gently squeezing her bum and planting a kiss.

They were later seen grinning at each other before hopping on the quad bike and driving away.

Louis flew the Strictly star out in first class to a secluded villa last week.

He’s currently working on new music there and wanted to spend some quality time with Zara after going public with their romance.

She was previously seen locking lips with her new pop star beau as they dined at a restaurant.

A source said: “Louis and Zara are going from strength to strength.

“He got his team to organise her first-class travel from London to Costa Rica.

“It meant Zara was unable to attend the TV Baftas but she is keen to spend as much time with Louis as possible.”

Louis will be back in the UK for Soccer Aid next week and is set to play on the England side with Zara’s ex Sam Thompson.

Zara split from former Made In Chelsea star Sam in January, moving out of Sam’s West London home, and leaving behind the two cats they shared.

She has decided to skip Soccer Aid to avoid an awkward run-in with her ex.

Zara and Louis confirmed their romance on holiday in Los Angeles over a month ago.

The pair were snapped holding hands in a sweet PDA during their trip to the US.

The Sun revealed they were an item after they were spotted enjoying an overnight stay at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh in exclusive photos.

It came amid reports that Zara had formed close bonds with Louis’ sisters Phoebe and Daisy.

They recently teased a new reality show, with sources claiming Zara has been helping them behind the scenes thanks to her experience as a TV presenter and documentary maker.
