Taylor Swift reunited with her close pal and collaborator Ed Sheeran in New York City on Thursday after recently wrapping up the North American leg of her Eras Tour.

The duo — who’ve worked on a number of songs together over the years — grabbed dinner at the members-only social club Zero Bond.

They were flanked by security as they exited the celeb hotspot separately.

Swift, 33, looked effortlessly stylish as she strolled out of the building in a rust-toned dress with a flowy satin skirt.

Her dirty blonde hair was tied in a braid and she sported black platform loafers that matched her purse.

Reunited: Taylor Swift reunited with her close pal and collaborator Ed Sheeran in New York City on Thursday

The Anti-Hero singer was decked out in gold jewelry and had a Louis Vuitton purse slung across her thin frame.

Swift made her way to a chauffeured SUV parked right outside of the establishment.

Meanwhile, Sheeran, 32, cut a casual figure in a white T-shirt and black skinny jeans.

The UK hitmaker hid most of his ginger hair beneath a ball cap and wore a necklace tucked beneath his shirt collar.

He strolled onto the sidewalk in a pair of Jordan 1 Retro High OG Washed Black sneakers.

Sheeran did not get a ride with Swift as he was seen heading in the other direction with his security team.

Swift is enjoying some rare downtime after closing out the first two of legs North American legs of her Eras Tour with six sold-out shows at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The back-to-back shows saw a number of A-list stars flock to the venue to watch Swift perform along with an estimated 500,000 fans.

The tour kicked off in Glendale, Arizona in March and it was supposed to wrap up in LA on August 9 but more shows in the United States and Canada have been scheduled for next year.

Swift will head to South America later this month to perform in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil through November.

Sheeran’s outing with Swift comes days after he revealed that he hasn’t yet made his way into his superstar pal’s massively popular series of re-recorded music.

During an interview on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM podcast Deep & Shallow on Monday, he told the host that he and Swift haven’t discussed the possibility of re-recording their 2017 single End Game for a future release.

‘No, I haven’t. No No. But, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is the next one coming out. That’s the next one,’ the Grammy-winning musician stated.

The song, which also features the rapper Future, was originally included on Taylor’s hit 2017 album Reputation.

The topic came up after Cohen, 55, asked Sheeran if he had plans to see Swift’s and Beyoncé’s concerts for their respective tours, which are both coincidentally going on at the same time as the English musician’s Subtract Tour.

Sheeran expressed his desire to attend one of the Eras tour concerts and shared how he enjoys the individuality of his fellow musicians’ concert shows.

‘I think what’s nice about everyone’s show is everyone’s show is so individual to them. And everyone’s got a different show,’ he explained to Cohen.

‘We’re all playing. I would love to go and see Taylor’s show, but we’re all playing on the same dates every single weekend. I think there’s a chance next year when she’s in the UK.’

Swift’s Eras Tour will not reach its United Kingdom leg until June 2024, with stops planned in the following four cities: Edinburgh, Scotland; Liverpool, England; Cardiff, Wales; and London, England.

Multiple shows will take place in each of the four cities during the UK leg of the tour.

The single ‘End Game’ was co-written by Swift, Sheeran and Future, all three of whom have won a combined 18 Grammys (Swift has 12, Sheeran has four, and Future, 39, has two).

‘End Game’ was the third single from Swift’s sixth studio album Reputation (2017), which has yet to re-recorded yet.

The pop superstar has to wait until ‘the later of two years following the expiration of the agreement or five years after the commercial release,’ according to common contractual language supplied by Rolling Stone, which indicates that Taylor is not likely allowed to rerecord Reputation, though she has yet to put out the rerecorded version of her previous LP, 1989.

As Sheeran mentioned during his interview with Cohen, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), the re-recorded version of her 2014 album, will be released on October 27, 2023.

Swift, who made the announcement herself during one of her six Los Angeles Eras Tour concerts, told the crowd that the version of 1989 will include five new singles, all of which are unreleased songs written for the original album that were dropped from the final track list.

Her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) will be her fourth re-recorded LP, which is part of her counteraction to her 2019 masters dispute.

Sheeran and Swift have formed a close friendship since the two worked together on the single Everything Has Changed, which was featured on the latter’s fourth studio album Red (2012).

The English singer re-recorded their duet for Swift’s re-recorded album Red (Taylor’s Version), which was released in 2021.

The pair’s friendship goes beyond music, as Sheeran told People in May that he feels Swift is ‘one of the only people that actually truly understands where I’m at.’

‘I had an hour–20 conversation with [Taylor] yesterday and we were just — everything that was on our minds we talked about. I mean that in itself is kind of therapy as well because you’re actually talking to someone that genuinely gets it,’ he said.

Kris Jenner’s sister Karen Houghton at 65 on Monday, DailyMail.com is taking a closer look at the younger sister of the Kardashian family ‘Momager’ and the relatively modest life she led compared to her sister and nieces.

Since 2017, TV audiences have been accustomed to seeing the extravagant mansions Kris, 68, and her famous daughters live in on their social media pages as well as their TV shows, Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Hulu’s The Kardashians.

In comparison, Karen led a far more comparatively middle class life, as she resided in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the San Diego County suburb of San Marcos.

The 1,233 square foot home is estimated by Zillow as being worth $841,200, with monthly rent potential of $3,137.

San Marcos is about 130 miles south of Calabasas, an estimated two-and-a-half hour drive via California Interstates 5 and 405. It’s about 100 miles south of Los Angeles, and 35 miles north of San Diego.

Amid the tragic news of the sudden passing of Kris Jenner’s sister Karen Houghton on Monday, DailyMail.com is taking a closer look at the younger sister of the Kardashian family ‘Momager’ and the relatively modest life she led compared to her sister and nieces.

The famed family has often focused on their impressive real estate holdings and portfolios – primarily in the luxe Southern California enclave of Calabasas, and surrounding areas – on their shows.

Kris and daughter Khloe Kardashian, 39, in 2021 bought property in Hidden Hills, California, where they built side-by-side mansions next to one another in the following years.

Kris spent more than $20 million on her opulent abode, while Khloe shelled out a reported $17 million for her mansion.

The homes are located within a radius of mansions owned by family members Kim Kardashian, 43; Kourtney Kardashian, 44; Kylie Jenner, 26; and exes Scott Disick, 40, and Tristan Thompson, 33, who share children with Kourtney and Khloe, respectively.

Kris opened her mansion’s doors for a housewarming party in November of 2021 on an episode of The Kardashians that aired in May of 2022, welcoming relatives and friends such as Ellen DeGeneres and Faye Resnick into the luxurious mansion.

Kris, 68, took to social media Tuesday to remember her late sibling with a slideshow of images throughout the years and a poignant memorial.

‘It is with the heaviest heart and deepest sadness that I share that my sister Karen passed away yesterday unexpectedly,’ she told her 52.6 million followers on Instagram. ‘My heart aches for my mom MJ and my niece Natalie and I pray that God guides us all through this difficult time.’

She described her late sibling as ‘beautiful inside and out,’ ‘the sweetest,’ ‘kindest,’ ‘the most sensitive,’ ‘vulnerable’ and ‘so so funny.’

Kris lauded Karen for always having a sense of gratefulness and thankfulness ‘for her life,’ as she ‘treasured her family and friends and especially her beautiful daughter.’

Karen ‘holds such a huge part of my heart,’ Kris said, ‘and I cherish every single memory we have together.’

Kris said that her sister’s ‘passing is a reminder that life is so short and precious and tomorrow is never promised,’ wrapping up in saying, ‘We must tell those we cherish how much we love them. I love you my beautiful sister.’

Mary Jo ‘MJ’ Shannon welcomed both Kris and Karen with her former husband Robert Houghton, and raised them both as a single parent prior to her 40-year marriage to her third husband Harry Shannon.

Shannon died from a staph infection while hospitalized with injuries from a 2003 car accident; in a Haute Living piece published in August of 2015, Kris called Shannon her ‘dad’ and said his passing ‘was so devastating for my family.’

Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori stunned onlookers as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday wearing a racy look inspired by his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The Yeezy employee, 29, and the rapper, 46 — who is behind Bianca’s X-rated makeover — were spotted exiting a building together in West Hollywood.

She had on a metallic silver micro miniskirt and thong underwear that exposed her bare butt cheeks as well as a busty triangle bikini top.

Bianca’s outfit looked straight out of Kim’s closet.

Kim, 43, is an avid wearer of silver bikinis and her clothing brand SKIMS famously released a metallic swimwear line in the summer of 2022.

Bianca did not have a purse with her but she did keep her iPhone in hand.

She led the way out of the LA office building as Kanye trailed behind her.

In contrast to his wife, the hitmaker was bundled up in a baggy all-black outfit.

He had on a long-sleeve top, oversized joggers, Yeezy boots and sunglasses.

The couple — who wed in December 2022 — slipped into the backseat of a chauffeured SUV and made their way to a new destination.

They grabbed ice-cream at a local ice-cream shop and Bianca emerged with a cone.

Kanye and Bianca ended their errands with a stop at a tanning salon on Melrose Avenue.

The day prior, Bianca shocked diners at a local Cheesecake Factory restaurant by wearing a see-through, neon green tights and a beige tube top to lunch.

Earlier that same day, Kanye was seen pulling down the model’s tights after he wrapped a meeting in Beverly Hills.

Kanye has been parading Bianca around in the world in X-rated looks after secretly tying the knot in December 2022 — just weeks after he finalized his divorce from Kim.

She shocked last month by wearing sheer stockings for pants in Paris after going nude under a see-through raincoat in LA.

A source previously told DailyMail.com that Bianca’s parents are ‘mortified’ at seeing their daughter in racy looks and that they just seems to be ‘getting worse and worse.’

‘Her parents are so distressed over this because they do not recognize her. She would not be doing this unless she was being controlled,’ the insider said.

Some of her loved ones even reportedly staged an intervention with Bianca over West’s alleged ‘controlling ways’.

Just last week Bianca’s mother Alexandra reportedly flew out from their native Australia to Los Angeles in the hopes of ‘saving’ her daughter, according to sources close to the family.

A source told DailyMail.com that Alexandra is taking time ‘to see for herself’ if Bianca really does have everything ‘under control’ as she claims.

‘This has been a wonderful opportunity for Alexandra to get to spend time with Bianca and assess the situation for herself.’

Her fears have reportedly been eased during this time with Bianca and West as an insider claimed the rapper ‘knows how to sweet talk a mom’.

‘Right now is a pivotal time and Alexandra was low-key believing she would come to save her daughter,’ the source said.

‘But this is not the case. Kanye has started to turn things around since the release of [his new album] Vultures in the sense that he is not going off on as many unhinged rants.

‘He also knows how to sweet talk a mom,’ the source added. ‘This has been really a good experience, and everyone is so relieved to see her with Alexandra.’

The insider claimed that a desire to be involved in the lives of any future grandchildren may also be a driving force.

Recently, insiders claimed to DailyMail.com that Bianca’s father Leo is keen on confronting the rapper over his daughter’s X-rated makeover and how he’s paraded her around like a ‘trophy pony.’

‘Leo honestly wants to just sit Kanye down to let him know that he is hurting her family by turning his beloved daughter into a trashy-looking marketable commodity,’ they said.

‘No man should ever encourage the woman that he loves to walk out in public and present herself like this. That isn’t love. That is control.’

Bianca’s family have also questioned how Kanye would feel in the future if a man was treating his daughters with Kim Kardashian in the same way.

‘He knows that there is no way in hell that Kanye would allow this for his daughters so it makes no sense why he would encourage this for his own wife.’

As for Bianca’s relationship with Kim, a source previously told DailyMail.com exclusively that the pair are ‘amicable’ but that Kim has taken issue with Bianca dressing provocatively in front of her and Kanye’s four children.

The exes share North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four.

Kim allegedly warned Kanye to tell Bianca to ‘cover up’ around the kids, which the 29-year-old brunette has seemingly obliged.

‘Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,’ a source dished. ‘She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.’

Last week, Kim was spotted with Bianca along with her kids Chicago and Psalm in the audience during Kanye’s Vultures listening party in San Francisco.

It marked the first time that the women were photographed together.

Sources told DailyMail.com that Kim’s appearance was part of a ‘concerted effort’ by the reality star to put on a ‘united front’ with her ex-husband and his new wife.

A clip of Bianca and Kim standing side-by-side at the event went viral on social media, with fans wondering ‘what’ the women could have been speaking about.

Taylor Swift declared that she loves teaching ‘men how to apologize’ when she performed to 70,000 fans on Friday night, kicking off her record-breaking Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona.

The 33-year-old superstar — who rocked a pink rhinestone leotard and belted out a 44-song set list — opened up about ‘recurring themes’ in her music as she candidly spoke to State Farm Stadium with a guitar in her arms.

‘So, sort of a recurring theme in my music is that I love to explain to men how to apologize. I just love it,’ said the 12-time Grammy winner, per footage posted to Twitter.

‘It’s kind of my thing,’ added Taylor. ‘I love to tell them step-by-step, “Here’s how simple this is to fix things if you just follow these easy steps that I’m laying out for you in a three-minute song.” I just love the idea of men apologizing.’

The Bad Blood songstress was explaining how her eighth studio album Folklore was inspired by her imagination instead of her own life.

Taylor’s passion:  ‘So, sort of a recurring theme in my music is that I love to explain to men how to apologize. I just love it,’ said the 12-time Grammy winner, per footage posted to Twitter

‘[My songs are] kind of like journaling for you or something,’ Taylor told her massive audience. ‘[And] I wanted to do a different thing that I had done before [with Folklore].’

Earning thunderous applause, the pop megastar went on to describe the ‘excruciatingly autobiographical’ nature of her first seven albums, likening them to ‘live-streamed public autopsies.’

‘You know,’ she explained, ‘my albums have characteristically been, sort of, excruciatingly autobiographical where, like, when I put out an album, it just feels like getting some sort of live-streamed, public autopsy.’

Taylor continued to discuss the different approach she took when writing Folklore, crafting ‘characters and storylines’ instead of purely using her own experiences.

The hitmaker said: ‘With [Folklore], I thought, “Wouldn’t it be so fun to create characters and storylines? They’ll live in different times, and they’ll do all these things and fall in love and hurt each other, go to wars and all these things.” So, I created all these characters.’

Released in 2020, Swift’s smash hit album Folklore featured a pair of characters inspired by the two daughters of her close friends Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively – James, seven, and Betty, three.

Taylor wove the two characters into a storyline for the song called Betty, which revolved around a very romantic apology.

Swift said: ‘This is a song about a teenage [boy] named James trying to apologize to the love of his life and her name is Betty.’

Kind of her thing: ‘It’s kind of my thing,’ added Taylor. ‘I love to tell them step-by-step, “Here’s how simple this is to fix things if you just follow these easy steps that I’m laying out for you in a three-minute song.” I just love the idea of men apologizing’

Taylor has been in a relationship with English actor Joe Alwyn, 32, since 2016, and the pair are intensely private about their life together.

Swift rarely discusses Alwyn, but she did give her handsome partner a sweet and subtle nod at a Grammys after-party in February when she wore his black leather jacket.

Performing for 3 hours and 15 minutes Friday night, the chart topper belted out hit songs such as Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince, Cruel Summer and You Need to Calm Down from the Lover era.

About an hour into her performance, Taylor told the sold-out audience, ‘Is it just me or do we have a lot of things to catch up on? It’s been a really long time since I’ve been on tour.’

Kanye West has added to his long list of people he is beefing with as he called out Ice Spice just days after ripping Twitch streamer Kai Cenat.

The 46-year-old fashion mogul took to his Instagram Story to say that the 24-year-old rising rapper had recorded a verse for the new version of his track New Body but her team has decided to not clear it.

He took to his Instagram story to share a text post which read: ‘ICE SPICE SENT A VERSE IN FOR NEW BODY NOW HER TEAM IS SAYING WE CAN’T USE IT’

Ice -born Isis Naija Gaston – nor her team have responded to Ye’s allegations.

The track New Body has been in the works for quite some time as it was originally slated for inclusion on Kanye’s album Yandhi in 2018 which was never released.

Nicki Minaj was featured on the original version of the song and it was even included on the track list for Ye’s collaborative album Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign which was released last month.

However,  the 41-year-old Trinidadian rapper declined the verse to be included on the release.

This was not the first time that this has happened as it was previewed at listening parties for Ye’s 2019 album Jesus Is King but it was ultimately scrapped due to creative differences between the two rap stars.

The track debunked body shaming and the stigma surrounding plastic surgery, however, the Jesus Is King version had Christian-themed lyrics.

In June 2020, Nicki had expressed interest in the song being released after a version leaked on TikTok, however, it never came to fruition.

Just days ago Ye responded in an astonishing fashion to American online streamer and YouTuber Kai Cenat, accusing the streamer of ‘dissing’ his YZY clothing range as fired out a warning, saying ‘don’t play with me’.

Kanye’s comments came after Kai, 22, was sent some clothing from West’s new YZY line, which he tried on for fans during a livestreaming service Twitch stream.

However, after he tried on a pair of tracksuit bottoms, they were considerably larger than he expected, leading him to ask for a smaller size.

Nicki Minaj and Kai Cenat have an EPIC dance battle

Kai labelled the sizing of Kanye’s YZY clothing range as ‘crazy’, while demanding a smaller size of the same product as the tracksuit bottoms fell to his ankles.

Kanye fired back while the stream was still ongoing, retorting via a direct message on Instagram: ‘Don’t make no jokes about my clothes. When you ain’t saying nothing about what Adidas is doing.

‘When Vultures song came out you ain’t play my verse. You controlled. Don’t play with me,’ he added.

This saw the feud between the pair ignite almost instantly, as Kai retorted: ”Oh my god what the f**k!’

After reading it through, he was visibly confused by the rapper’s angry response and asked Kanye: ‘What the f**k did I do?!’

More back and forth messages between them followed, with Kai saying: ‘I hear you bro but ain’t no jokes was being said when I first opened up that package. I showed love instantly.’

The streamer continued: ‘All I did was try on the sweats and it didn’t fit. No jokes made. I immediately asked for a new pair.’

Kanye subsequently replied: ‘So you ain’t do nothing wrong? So I felt this way for no reason?’

Kai then simply responded with a one word answer, writing ‘Yes’, which Kanye did not take too kindly to.

Instead the rapper accused him of deliberately disrespecting his new clothing line: ‘F**k you… You was told to diss my sh**. You a pawn.’

The feud between the pair comes after Kai was freed from police custody just hours after he was arrested for inciting a riot in New York City’s Union Square on Friday August 4 2023.

Cenat was seen walking from the precinct with security in tow, but gave no comment to reporters standing by.

Following the riots, the NYPD arrested 65 people during the chaos that unfolded in Manhattan.

Nicki Minaj appeared on social media Tuesday evening to apologize to fans for cancelling her New Orleans tour stop.

In an Instagram Story shared with her 229 million followers, she wrote, ‘New Orleans, please accept my dearest apologies for having to reschedule our date together.’

The 41-year-old rapper — who brought out Tyga during a recent performance — was forced to reschedule Monday’s show just hours before it was set to begin due to illness.

She added in her apology, which was a reposted screengrab from an X post, ‘You mean so much to me & I hate that things didn’t go as planned.’

The New York native then assured fans, ‘Within the next few days, I hope to update our schedule with a new date that I can give you 100% of myself & nothing less.’

She finished out the note by writing, ‘Love always,’ along with a pink bow emoji.

‘Unfortunately, after the show, she found out she had the flu and only got worse.’

‘We are working diligently to find a new date, so please hold onto your tickets, and we will inform you all soon,’ it read.

Some fans took to the comments to express their disappointment.

One social media user voiced, ‘She ain’t just get sick a few hours ago. This should’ve been announced this morning or yesterday. This is extremely last minute and I’m very frustrated..’

Another person added: ‘nobody is mad bc she cancelled , it’s the fact they waited 4 hours before the event to tell us officially.’

And a third agreed, ‘That’s messed up 4 hours before the event.’

The star, born Belcalis Marlenis, showed off her very busty chest and itty bitty waistline in the flashy look.

The two-piece set boasted an orange thong overlay, which matched the underlining of the bodice.

The mother-of-two showed off her colorful tattoos, which were exposed along her back, stomach, and arms.

Cardi’s sexy look was rounded out with a pair of strappy metallic gold high heels.

The former Love & Hip-Hop personality’s red hair was arranged in a long, voluminous bob styled in a side part.

The fiery locks were set in fluffy and flirty curls that grazed her shoulders.

Taking the eye-popping look up a notch, the superstar wore blue contacts, transforming her natural brown eyes.

Earlier in the day she shared outtakes from her music video, which is now available on YouTube.

Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori stunned onlookers as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday wearing a racy look inspired by his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The Yeezy employee, 29, and the rapper, 46 — who is behind Bianca’s X-rated makeover — were spotted exiting a building together in West Hollywood.

She had on a metallic silver micro miniskirt and thong underwear that exposed her bare butt cheeks as well as a busty triangle bikini top.

Bianca’s outfit looked straight out of Kim’s closet.

Kim, 43, is an avid wearer of silver bikinis and her clothing brand SKIMS famously released a metallic swimwear line in the summer of 2022.

Bianca did not have a purse with her but she did keep her iPhone in hand.

She led the way out of the LA office building as Kanye trailed behind her.

In contrast to his wife, the hitmaker was bundled up in a baggy all-black outfit.

He had on a long-sleeve top, oversized joggers, Yeezy boots and sunglasses.

The couple — who wed in December 2022 — slipped into the backseat of a chauffeured SUV and made their way to a new destination.

They grabbed ice-cream at a local ice-cream shop and Bianca emerged with a cone.

Kanye and Bianca ended their errands with a stop at a tanning salon on Melrose Avenue.

The day prior, Bianca shocked diners at a local Cheesecake Factory restaurant by wearing a see-through, neon green tights and a beige tube top to lunch.

Earlier that same day, Kanye was seen pulling down the model’s tights after he wrapped a meeting in Beverly Hills.

Kanye has been parading Bianca around in the world in X-rated looks after secretly tying the knot in December 2022 — just weeks after he finalized his divorce from Kim.

She shocked last month by wearing sheer stockings for pants in Paris after going nude under a see-through raincoat in LA.

A source previously told DailyMail.com that Bianca’s parents are ‘mortified’ at seeing their daughter in racy looks and that they just seems to be ‘getting worse and worse.’

‘Her parents are so distressed over this because they do not recognize her. She would not be doing this unless she was being controlled,’ the insider said.

Some of her loved ones even reportedly staged an intervention with Bianca over West’s alleged ‘controlling ways’.

Just last week Bianca’s mother Alexandra reportedly flew out from their native Australia to Los Angeles in the hopes of ‘saving’ her daughter, according to sources close to the family.

A source told DailyMail.com that Alexandra is taking time ‘to see for herself’ if Bianca really does have everything ‘under control’ as she claims.

‘This has been a wonderful opportunity for Alexandra to get to spend time with Bianca and assess the situation for herself.’

Her fears have reportedly been eased during this time with Bianca and West as an insider claimed the rapper ‘knows how to sweet talk a mom’.

‘Right now is a pivotal time and Alexandra was low-key believing she would come to save her daughter,’ the source said.

‘But this is not the case. Kanye has started to turn things around since the release of [his new album] Vultures in the sense that he is not going off on as many unhinged rants.

‘He also knows how to sweet talk a mom,’ the source added. ‘This has been really a good experience, and everyone is so relieved to see her with Alexandra.’

The insider claimed that a desire to be involved in the lives of any future grandchildren may also be a driving force.

Recently, insiders claimed to DailyMail.com that Bianca’s father Leo is keen on confronting the rapper over his daughter’s X-rated makeover and how he’s paraded her around like a ‘trophy pony.’

‘Leo honestly wants to just sit Kanye down to let him know that he is hurting her family by turning his beloved daughter into a trashy-looking marketable commodity,’ they said.

‘No man should ever encourage the woman that he loves to walk out in public and present herself like this. That isn’t love. That is control.’

Bianca’s family have also questioned how Kanye would feel in the future if a man was treating his daughters with Kim Kardashian in the same way.

‘He knows that there is no way in hell that Kanye would allow this for his daughters so it makes no sense why he would encourage this for his own wife.’

As for Bianca’s relationship with Kim, a source previously told DailyMail.com exclusively that the pair are ‘amicable’ but that Kim has taken issue with Bianca dressing provocatively in front of her and Kanye’s four children.

The exes share North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four.

Kim allegedly warned Kanye to tell Bianca to ‘cover up’ around the kids, which the 29-year-old brunette has seemingly obliged.

‘Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,’ a source dished. ‘She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.’

Last week, Kim was spotted with Bianca along with her kids Chicago and Psalm in the audience during Kanye’s Vultures listening party in San Francisco.

It marked the first time that the women were photographed together.

Sources told DailyMail.com that Kim’s appearance was part of a ‘concerted effort’ by the reality star to put on a ‘united front’ with her ex-husband and his new wife.

A clip of Bianca and Kim standing side-by-side at the event went viral on social media, with fans wondering ‘what’ the women could have been speaking about.

From glam girlfriends to loyal fans of his big action blockbusters, inside the life of the sometimes overlooked Brit star

HE is often overshadowed by more critically acclaimed home-grown acting talent such as Christian Bale and Idris Elba.

But Jason Statham is laughing all the way to the bank after being named the highest-paid Brit in Hollywood last year, raking in £32million.

The 56-year-old movie hardman came seventh in a rich list of acting stars recently published by Forbes, tying with Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio and beating Ben Affleck and Denzel Washington.

Derbyshire-born Jason pocketed a cool £15.7million to star in action thriller The Beekeeper – and he will have been buzzing when it became the highest-grossing film of 2024 for eight weeks, raking in £120million worldwide.

The film beat Dakota Johnson’s big-budget superhero flick Madame Web before finally being overtaken by Dune: Part Two this month.

It’s a far cry from Jason’s beginnings as a teenage hustler who sold cheap watches outside Harrods and failed in his bid to become a diver at the Olympics.

His screen career only began in his 30s – and Jason says he’s “never had an acting lesson”.

Alison Maloney reveals how the unlikely star conquered Tinseltown.

BIG BREAK

BEFORE breaking into acting, Jason was at one point ranked the world’s 12th best diver, ­competing for Britain at the 1990 Commonwealth Games.

His dad, a former boxer and gymnast, was his inspiration.

Jason said: “He taught me to do a handstand practically before I could walk. I could do somersaults and ­backflips from a very early age.”

But the star was late to the diving game, explaining: “You have to start when you’re five. When I started at 12, it’s way late. You need pro coaches – my coach was a chartered accountant.”

Hollywood hardman’s Commonwealth Games dive
His Olympic dreams were dashed when he came third in trials for two spots in the 1992 British team – so he took up judo, boxing and jujitsu in the hope of becoming a stuntman.

Instead, he was scouted by the agency Sports Promotions, and in 1997 became the face of French Connection.

A spokesman for the High Street fashion chain said: “We chose Jason because we wanted our model to look like a normal guy.

“His look is very masculine and not too male-modelly.”

The modelling led to an introduction to Guy Ritchie who, upon learning about Jason’s street-trader past and hearing his “patter”, cast him as Bacon in his hit 1998 directorial debut Lock, Stock And Two ­Smoking Barrels.

Paid just £5,000 for Lock, Stock and £15,000 for the follow-up Snatch, Jason said: “I would have done them for free just for the opportunity to do ­something different.”

At 31, he was a relative latecomer to the acting game – but the move proved financially sound, landing him the lead in Luc Besson’s The Transporter in 2002.

THE REAL DEAL

JASON honed his streetwise, rough-diamond image as a teenager, flogging cheap jewellery on the streets of London.

Taking after street trader dad Barry, who was known as “Nogger”, he started hustling at 14, selling chains outside Harrods, and says he made “plenty of money, loads of dough – two, three grand in a weekend”.

The ready cash also fuelled a passion for ­illegal car racing, which has helped with his ­famous chase scenes in speed-freak movies such as the Fast & Furious franchise and The Transporter.

Jason recalled: “Me and my mate Fish ­Fibbens, when we had enough money we’d buy cars and we’d race the f*** out of each other, all through London.

“It was really dangerous – we’re lucky we didn’t get f***ing killed or kill somebody.

“Back then you don’t care – you’re just having a bit of fun. You’re just getting behind the wheel and you’re game for it.

“Cars I’ve always loved. I f***ing love cars.”

SERIOUS STUNTMAN

AS well as being trained in martial arts, adrenaline junkie Jason loves jet skiing, wind surfing and rock climbing.

Having dreamed of becoming a stuntman, he has never shied away from filming death-defying scenes himself.

12

He dangled out of a helicopter more than 1,000 metres over Los Angeles for one fight scene in Crank.

And in The Expendables 3, a brake malfunction in the truck he was driving led to it plunging off a pier and 60ft down into the Black Sea.

Jason managed to crawl through the truck’s broken ­window and escape before it sank.

Co-star Sylvester Stallone later commented: “If anybody else had been in that truck, we would have been dead.

“We would’ve drowned. But because Jason is an Olympic-quality diver, he got out.”

All of the stunt men – these are the unsung heroes

Jason Statham
The Transporter 2 featured perhaps his most dangerous stunt, when he leapt from a jet ski on to the back of a bus.

Jason confessed: “I shouldn’t have done it – there was no safety wire.

If I’d have missed the back of the bus, it would have been a faceplant at 30mph into the concrete.”

In an interview with Vanity Fair, he called for the Oscars to honour stunt men.

“All of the stunt men – these are the unsung heroes,” he said.

“They really are. Nobody is giving them any credibility. They’re risking their necks.”

GLAMOUR GIRLFRIENDS

A SIX-YEAR engagement to Kelly Brook is just one of the long-term romances Jason has enjoyed with a string of high-profile beauties.

He was in the early stage of his career when he hooked up with the ex-Big Breakfast host, and she later revealed he had no money during their engagement from 1998 until 2004.

After Ashley Roberts described him as a “multi-millionaire action hero with a supermodel fiancée, and the star of one of the biggest franchises in the world”, Kelly told listeners on her radio show: “He was skint when I was there, trust me.”

After splitting from Kelly, Jason dated ­Australian actress and pop singer Sophie Monk, then had a four-year relationship with Hollywood star Alex Zosman which ended in 2009.

Since 2016 he has been engaged to Victoria’s Secret model and fellow Brit Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who, at 36, is 20 years his junior.

She said: “We have a connection that has nothing to do with age.”

The couple are parents to son Jack, six, and two-year-old daughter Isabella.

BRAND LOYALTY

FANS of Jason’s movies keep coming back for more because they know exactly what they’ll get.

His action adventures follow a pattern: The steely tough guy sets out for revenge on the wrongs of society, eliminating all that stands in his way in a series of almost ballet-like highly choreographed and brutal fight scenes.

12

Dialogue is kept to a minimum, and the heart-throb’s trademark shaved head and designer ­stubble is rarely messed with.

It’s a formula that works – and he knows it, remarking: “You can’t have a sushi restaurant and then put cheese on toast on the menu.”

When he starred in the 2015 comedy Spy, Jason admitted he was “apprehensive”.

He explained: “At least in making an action film, there’s always going to be someone who wants to see a car chase.

Bad comedy is just garbage

Jason Statham
“Even if a lot of the people don’t like it, there will be a lot of people that do.

“But bad comedy is just garbage.”

He has also been scathing about the superhero movies that have raked in the cash for the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Robert ­Pattinson and Andrew Garfield.

He said: “You slip on a cape, and you put on the tights, and you become a superhero? They’re not doing anything. They’re just sitting in their trailer.

“It’s absolutely 100 per cent created by stunt ­doubles and green screen.”

Alluding to his acting icons Sylvester Stallone, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood and Paul ­Newman, he says: “I just couldn’t see any of those guys putting on a cape and a mask and going around on wires.”

BOX OFFICE GOLD

SINCE the early 2000s, Jason has been ­credited for leading the resurgence of action films – and in total his movies have grossed more than £1.5billion at the box office.

Now commanding a hefty £15million per film, his high price tag comes on the back of a ­barnstorming 2023 which saw him starring in Fast X, Expend4bles, Meg 2: The Trench and Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre.

12

There’s already talk of a sequel to his latest hit The Beekeeper – and Jason is never one to turn his back on a box office-busting ­franchise.

His first movie as a leading man, 2002 smash The Transporter, resulted in a trilogy, and he has since starred in four outings of The Expendables, three Fast & Furious movies as well as a spin-off, Hobbs And Shaw, two Crank films and two outings for The Mechanic.

SEX APPEAL

AFTER 25 years of testosterone-fuelled action, Jason has lost none of his sex appeal – and looking at his topless ­pictures it’s not hard to see why.

But the draw for both men and women goes beyond the impressive physique.

As someone lucky enough to have met the brawny Brit, I can confirm that, with Jason, what you see is what you get.

At 5ft 9in, he still oozes ­masculinity and, like his tough-guy characters, he is not the ­chattiest of stars.

But he is refreshingly down to earth, unpretentious and true to his roots.

There’s not a diva-like bone in his perfectly formed body.

GLAM LIFE

THREE years ago, long-term girlfriend Rosie shared pictures of the home she shares with Jason in Chelsea after ­selling their £14million Malibu mansion to move back to the UK to raise their kids.

The couple are said to have spent £7.5million on the London pad after Plymouth-born Rosie admitted that while in the US she had missed home and the British sense of ­humour.

They also spent 18 months ­renovating a four-bedroom mansion off LA’s Sunset Strip before listing it for £5.5million – resulting in a profit of more than £3million.

Jason previously bought a £5.8million, six-bed mansion in the Hollywood Hills from Ben Stiller and the Meet The Parents star’s then-wife Christine Taylor before selling it in 2015 to actor Johnny Galecki for a reported £7million.

Statham’s millions also enable him to indulge his love of fast cars, with a collection that has included a Ferrari F12berlinetta, a Lamborghini Murcielago LP, an Aston ­Martin DBS and a Porsche 911.

His UK-based company Reme Enterprises showed a healthy profit of £464,000 last year.
