Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are rumoured to have spent time with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their home just last week. The two couples are said to have bonded amid rumours of a rift within the Beckham family at the moment.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, are thought to have been absent from a party for his father, David Beckham, 50, earlier this month after reportedly missing other celebrations. The special occasion has fuelled speculation of tension within the high-profile family, and a source told the Mirror recently that there is “distance” between Brooklyn and his parents.

It’s now claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan are “secretly supporting” Brooklyn and Nicola. The news follows previous reports that Prince Harry had once been pals with David, though the relationship reportedly soured.

Brooklyn and Nicola were reportedly invited to Prince Harry and Meghan’s mansion in Montecito last week, just days after David’s birthday celebrations. It has, however, been claimed that the gathering had been planned prior and that any recent circumstances were a “welcome coincidence”.

The Sun reports that the “dinner” had been arranged before the apparent fallout between the Beckham family. However, it’s been suggested that the two couples “found a lot of common ground,” with Prince Harry and Meghan having dealt with apparent tension with his family over the years.

The outlet adds that it’s understood the two couples swapped numbers whilst at the home. It states that it isn’t known whether they have remained in touch, though.

A source told the outlet that it was an “unexpected invite” for Brooklyn and Nicola, who were described as feeling “pretty battle-wounded,” but was “gratefully received”. The source said that Prince Harry and Meghan were “very kind” and “empathetic” to their guests.

The source added: “Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar.” They added: “Nicola and Meghan also had a bit of a ‘deep [and] meaningful’ [chat] as obviously both women have been positioned in the media as home-wreckers – the women to tear apart their husbands’ families.”

Former actress Meghan reportedly had “a lot of sympathy” for Nicola, who is herself an actor. The source further claimed to the outlet that Meghan said there was “shared common ground” between them.

The source went on to suggest that the meeting wasn’t connected to the Beckham rift rumours. The source said: “They didn’t meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence.”

A source told the Mirror recently that there is “distance” between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, 51. The source said, “Brooklyn not turning up was a real blow to David. Brooklyn was close with his dad growing up, but he is married now. His wife Nicola is older and confident in her own right, and so there is distance between Brooklyn and his parents.”

They added: “It has become a problem and not something they can keep private because of the way the family uses social media. Things have escalated in recent months, and there is a very obvious rift that David and Victoria would love to heal.”

A source complained to the Daily Mail about Nicola in an article published earlier this month. The source said: “Victoria and David would do anything to get their son back, but they are done with Nicola now.” The source went on to claim that Nicola “finds a way to start an argument”. They claimed that Brooklyn had told his parents that he would be there for David’s birthday, but the source alleged that, amid his making plans with his family, Nicola would then “kick something off” and in the end it becomes “impossible” for her husband to attend such events.

However, a source has since suggested to the Mirror that Nicola is the peacekeeper. It came following reports that Brooklyn and Nicola had offered to privately meet David for his milestone birthday in the UK, rather than attend his showbiz party, but didn’t have their request fulfilled.

The source said: “Nicola encourages Brooklyn to see his family and is usually the reason Brooklyn does see his family. They are both devastated. They cannot believe that Victoria & David refused to see them privately after they travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship.”

They added to us: “As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria & David are behaving this way… instead of privately discussing the issue. Victoria and David (appear to) have no interest in finding a solution that works for everyone.”

Katie Price’s ex-fiance Kris Boyson is reportedly furious after the former glamour model again made claims that every partner she has been with has cheated on her

Kris Boyson is said to be “furious” with ex-fiancée Katie Price after her latest allegations. The former glamour model, 46, recently claimed that every man she has dated previously has cheated on her.

However, Kris, 36, is reportedly livid at the claims as his name gets caught up in his ex’s story once again. He’s thought to be desperate to keep his name out of the narrative. The personal trainer dated Katie between 2018 and 2019, with the pair having a brief engagement.

Katie recently told Celebs Go Dating expert Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast: “I suppose every, literally, every relationship I’ve been in, I’ve been cheated on.

“And when I see the people they cheated on me with, I’ve always gone, ‘Oh, why have they gone for them? I thought I was a little bit better looking than them’.

“It sort of gives you that self doubt, ‘What am I good enough for?’” However, it is a claim Kris is said to be less than impressed about. A source told the Sun: “Kris is furious that Katie talked about how all men have cheated on her on the Paul C. Brunson podcast, as he never did and he’s sick of her saying it.”

The source continued: “She’s said it during a few interviews now, and he feels like it’s dragging his name through the mud and tarnishing him with the same brush as some of the other blokes she’s dated, when he has moved on.

“They dated years ago, but Kris feels like she talks about all her exes as if they are the same and like she is completely blameless for anything ever going wrong in a relationship.”

In December, Kris admitted to the Mirror that he feels “sorry” for his ex. He said at the time: “Deep down, I think she’s a really decent girl, I just think she’s got a lot of issues she needs to fix.

“I feel a bit sorry for her now. I think people have their struggles, everyone’s got struggles in life, and unfortunately, hers have played out in the media for everyone to see.”

He also confessed his life is so different since the duo went their separate ways. Kris added: “I’m a completely different person.”

He then mentioned being in a new relationship but confirmed he wants to keep his girlfriend’s identity private. “We’ve been together for a while,” he continued.

“I’ve never really spoken about it. It’s nice to have a private life for once. It’s nice to keep certain things private.”

Katie Price has set the record straight on her relationship with Married At First star, JJ Slater, after the pair were rumoured to have called it quits

Katie Price has broken her silence on claims she’s split with her boyfriend, JJ Slater. The glamour icon, 46 and Married At First Sight star, 31, have been dating for more than a year, however fans thought the couple may have secretly called it a day after noticing the pair had not appeared on each other’s Instagram for a while as well as not spending Christmas together.

Last week, Katie’s rep told the Mirror the couple were very much together and “continuing as normal”. However, on Married At First Sight guru Paul C.Brunson’s latest podcast, the Pricey made a cryptic comment about her relationship.

When told by Paul she should feel “free” and “happy” with a partner, she said: “I’ve never had that in any relationship. Never had any of them.

“And JJ, he’s the most kind, genuine, easygoing, chilled person. But do I feel my happiest and do I feel free? No. It’s not a reflection on him, maybe that’s what I need to change for myself.”

Paul, who is one of the experts on Married At First Sight UK, told her: “You need some time to yourself because you have to experience what freedom feels like.”

Katie explained: “Freedom to me is like when I took my kids to Thailand for a month, just me and them. We felt free. Just little life experiences, seeing things, taking them to little adventures.”

The OnlyFans star, who has been married three times, then added: “I just don’t want to answer to anyone, I want them to fit in with me.”

Speaking of her concerns for her relationship with JJ, she continued: “When you meet someone, it’s natural to want to be with them all the time. Then the mistakes I’ve made in the past are then you’re with them all the time.

“It becomes literally 24/7 because I’ve never been out with someone who’s had a nine to five job.”

She went on: “They’ve always had a job where, I suppose it’s adaptable that they come with me. So in the beginning, that’s all nice, but then you get into the habit of they’re about too much, to the point you start not seeing your friends, because you’re with them all the time, and then you get into this situation where they’re so used to being with you all the time that then when you do say, ‘I’m gonna go and see a friend,’ it doesn’t seem normal because you haven’t done it.

“So I’m a bit worried that I’ve got like that with JJ.”

Despite her misgivings about spending too much time with JJ, in her recent podcast with her sister, Sophie, Katie admitted that the reality star was “The One”.

It hasn’t always been easy for the couple, though, as the former Married at First Sight contestant got a rough ride from his future brother-in-law. Harry Brooks, who is married to Katie’s sister Sophie.

When JJ, who shacked up with Ella Morgan, on Married At First Sight, after failing to click with his telly bride, Bianca, into the family group chat, Harry mused: “What… another one?”

The Princess of Wales was the epitome of elegance as she presented the Queen Elizabeth Design Award, which recognises and celebrates the role of the fashion industry in British society and culture

The Princess of Wales gave British fashion another boost as she handed out a prize named in honour of the late Queen.

Kate – wearing a striking green suit by designer Victoria Beckham – presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design at an event hosted by the British Fashion Council (BFC) at London’s 180 Studios to winning designer Patrick McDowell. The award recognises and celebrates sustainable fashion.

At the event, Patrick, 29, said: “It’s a huge privilege and honour. Throughout her tenure she’s been an amazing advocate of British fashion and really flies the flag for British fashion. She also looks incredible and is a real style icon. It is extra special to receive an award from her today. The Royal Family has been incredibly supportive from Queen Elizabeth II and the King.”

The future queen visited the winning designer’s pop-up studio and spoke to other sustainable British fashion designers at the bash. The prize celebrates the impact of young British designers and the UK’s thriving fashion industry. It also recognises designers who are leading the way in sustainable practices and making a positive impact on the environment.

In response to the princess’ outfit choice, a source close to the Beckhams said: “The Princess of Wales has worn Victoria’s designs before and it’s really great to see that she’s wearing one again, especially as the outfit was not gifted and was very much her own call to wear it. Both couples support each other’s charities and David and William are friends too, so there is a great deal of mutual respect there.”

Kate’s show of support for Victoria’s brand will be a big boost for the former Spice Girl. Victoria is said to be ‘heartbroken’ after a falling out with daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz. Earlier this month, reports of a rift between Brooklyn Beckham and the rest of his family were further fuelled when the 26-year-old failed to show up with Nicola to his dad’s 50th bash in Notting Hill, despite being in London at the time.

A source close to Brooklyn and Nicola later claimed that Victoria and David “refused” to see the couple privately ahead of the birthday do, even though they had “travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship”. Meanwhile, the Beckhams’ friends have reacted with fury after Nicola’s pals made a series of extraordinary claims about the reason why the rift between Brooklyn and his family emerged.

A pal has suggested that there is “emotional abuse and toxic behaviour” between the family which is why the four are unable to get along. However, David and Victoria reject the claims and are outraged by the suggestions.

A source close to the Beckhams said: “I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn’t even warrant a response it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.”A second source told The Mirror that the couple have been left “open mouthed” after hearing the suggestions.

Meanwhile, Kate – who has a long-standing passion for UK textiles fueled by her family’s history in the industry – listened intently as she was shown examples of needlework, embroidery and pattern cutting. She also burst out in surprise laughter after she was shown a new jacket design – named in her honour.

Caroline Rush, the outgoing BFC chief executive, told Kate she was looking at a design called a ‘Wales Bar’ – a specifically cut and fitted female jacket with sleeves in black. Kate asked how it got its name, to which Patrick replied: “I named it in your honour!” Asked later about the jacket, the designer said he would like to send the Princess one in the post.

During her visit, Kate presented Patrick, 29, with the trophy, which is inspired by the Queen Elizabeth rose and designed by the late Queen’s former dresser Angela Kelly. It was hand-produced by Lucy Price at Bauhinia Studios in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

She also spent time chatting to models, hailing the design and cut of their outfits, and was overheard celebrating “sustainability in the fashion industry”.

Kate’s personal connection to the industry comes from her paternal ancestors who owned a woollen manufacturer and merchant, William Lupton & Co., in Leeds. In 1958, her great-great grandfather sold William Lupton & Co to AW Hainsworth, a family-owned heritage textile mill which was established in 1783 and manufactures British woollen cloth, high-performing technical textiles, and iconic fabrics.

The firm holds a Royal Warrant and proudly displayed its fabrics during the Coronations of both the late Queen Elizabeth in 1953 and The King earlier in 2023.

Speaking to the young fashion designers, the Princess said: “It’s really interesting to see how designers are using techniques to upcycle fabrics in innovative ways.”

Eliza Gomarsall, 25, who worked at Highgrove for the King’s Foundation, was among those who chatted to Kate. The royal told her she was keen for “traditions” in clothing and design to keep going.

Speaking afterwards, Eliza, who graduated from the Royal School of Needlework, said: “She showed concern after hearing it is difficult to find employment.”

The Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design celebrates the impact of young British designers and the UK’s thriving fashion industry and recognises designers who are leading the way in sustainable practices and making a positive impact on the environment.

A source close to Victoria Beckham has revealed how she feels about the Princess of Wales’s recent show of support for the fashion designer – amid ongoing turmoil for the Beckham family

Princess Kate’s show of support for Victoria Beckham at a recent fashion event is indicative of the “mutual respect” between the fashion designer and the future Queen, a source close to the Beckhams has revealed.

The Princess of Wales donned a new piece from Victoria Beckham’s spring 2025 collection for the British Fashion Council event, which saw Kate award designer Patrick McDowell the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.

Kate opted for an olive green patch pocket blazer with matching trousers from Victoria’s new collection, and a source close to the Beckhams said they thought it was “really great” that the Princess had chosen to support the brand and that it was Kate had made the move of her own volition.

“The Princess of Wales has worn Victoria’s designs before and it’s really great to see that she’s wearing one again, especially as the outfit was not gifted and was very much her own call to wear it,” they explained. “Both couples support each other’s charities and David and William are friends too, so there is a great deal of mutual respect there.”

It’s been a rocky few weeks for the Beckham family, with reports of a sad feud between the couple, their eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. At a glitzy bash in Notting Hill to celebrate the football legend’s 50th birthday, his son Brooklyn was nowhere to be seen, which fueled rumours of a rift inside the family. Victoria is reportedly “heartbroken” at the fall-out with her daughter-in-law, so Kate’s public display of support for her designs is likely to be something of a boost.

Sources close to Nicola and Brooklyn claim that they did travel to London to see Victoria and David around the time of the birthday party in an attempt to patch things up – but claimed that the footballer and former Spice Girl wouldn’t meet with them privately.

However, friends of Nicola made some incendiary claims about the reasons behind the rift, citing “emotional abuse and toxic behaviour” inside the family, which was met with shock from sources close to Victoria and David, with one saying they were left “open-mouthed” at the mere suggestion.

Another source close to the Beckhams said, “I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn’t even warrant a response it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.”

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola have had a very public fallout with his parents

Kate has always been a big advocate of British fashion, and her choice of outfit for the BFC event was no exception, with a royal source saying about the look that it was “a show of support for British fashion, which is a huge passion for the princess”.

The immaculate £1,340 suit went down a treat with the award winner Patrick, 29, who said that Kate “looks incredible and is a real style icon”. Patrick was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design for his work as an up-and-coming designer who is leading the way in sustainable fashion and design, and he said the support he had received from the British Royal Family meant a lot to him.

“It’s a huge privilege and honour. We try to make sustainable circular fashion and it’s a real honour that the Royal Family and British Fashion Council has seen that and rewarding that today.” He added that it was “extra special” to be handed the prize by Kate, because “Throughout her tenure she’s been an amazing advocate of British fashion and really flies the flag for British fashion.”

Whilst visiting Patrick’s pop-up studio in the exhibition space at 180 Studios, Kate was even shown a new design that has been named in her honour – something that caused her to giggle with surprise. Caroline Rush, the outgoing BFC chief executive, told Kate she was looking at a design called a ‘Wales Bar’ – a specifically cut and fitted female jacket with sleeves in black. Kate asked how it got its name, to which Patrick replied: “I named it in your honour!”

The Duke is all but estranged from the Royal Family – and his decision to give another bombshell interview has once again highlighted one of their major concerns

A reconciliation between Harry and King Charles seems increasingly unlikely(Image: POOL/AFP via Getty Images)

Prince Harry recently spoke of his desire to make amends with his family – but his decision to give yet another bombshell interview has only served to widen the gulf, an insider has revealed.

Harry has come under fire for remarks he made to the BBC, in which he divulged: “I don’t know how much longer my father has, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.” He also suggested the King could have changed the outcome of his security case, claiming it felt like an “establishment stitch up”.

Now an insider has revealed why a reconciliation with the royals is unlikely to happen. “There is zero trust,” the source told HELLO!. “The family feels that private conversations with Harry are not possible.”

A former friend added. “He needs the world to forgive him. His family have never bent on their stance, which is that he should not take up issues in public.

Even a source sympathetic to the Duke, told the publication: “It’s taken its toll. He sees things everywhere, he picks battles with everybody and that’s tiring. You can’t live in permanent battle mode. You’re a 40-year-old man. You’ve got to stop fighting the world.”

Harry spoke to the BBC shortly after losing his legal challenge with the Home Office over the levels of security he and his family are entitled to when in the UK. Buckingham Palace released a rare statement after the interview: “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Harry said: “I don’t know how much longer my father has – he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff but it would be nice to reconcile.”

He added that “some members of my family will never forgive me” for writing his memoir Spare, and went on to say: “It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don’t want that, that’s entirely up to them.”

Harry further described his court defeat as a “good old-fashioned establishment stitch up” and blamed the Royal Household for influencing the decision to reduce his security.

His approach has once again been criticised by experts. David Yelland, a former newspaper editor and current public relations advisor, has since pinpointed three key errors made by the Duke in the interview.

Firstly, he noted that Harry “went in hot”, saying: “You never go into an interview hot with your blood up. You have to be cool, and he wasn’t cool. You can see it in his body language and what he said.”

Secondly, Mr Yelland pointed out that the Duke “was not prepared because he thought he was going to win” the case. “And then the third mistake, which he made probably because he was angry and he did expect to win, is that he volunteered what has become an uncontrollable global news story,” he said, referring to speculation prompted by Harry about the King’s health. “This interview didn’t need to be like this,” Mr Yelland told the Express. “It could have been so much better, or maybe it didn’t need to happen at all, now.”

Harry and Meghan relocated to California in 2020 after stepping back from their roles as senior working royals. The couple has since built a new life in Montecito, California, with their children. But Harry has continued to fight a legal battle over the loss of publicly funded police protection when he visits the U.K. — a decision made by the government’s Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) following his royal exit.

Though he has returned to Britain on a number of occasions, his visits have been brief, heavily guarded, and without Meghan or their children. He has argued that without secure protection, it is too risky to bring his young family with him.

Sky Sports star, Chris Kamara’s life was turned upside down in 2022 when he was diagnosed with apraxia of speech (AOS), which also affected his balance and co-ordination

Beloved football pundit, Chris ‘Kammy’ Kamara has heartbreakingly admitted he’s ‘no longer the person he used to be’ following his life-changing diagnosis. The Sky Sports star’s life was turned upside down in 2022 when he was diagnosed with apraxia of speech (AOS), which also affected his balance and co-ordination.

Chris, 67, flew to Mexico for treatment in a bid to reverse or slow down some of the effects of the neurological disorder, which include difficulty when speaking. However, despite initial success, the machine that transmitted radio frequency and magnetic fields into the body – similar to an MRI – became less effective, resulting in Chris stopping treatment.

Chris Kamara’s life was turned upside down in 2022 when he was diagnosed with apraxia of speech (AOS)

Telling The Sun his family told him to accept the fact that his life has changed, he said: “In so many ways, the diagnosis has changed my life, I am no longer the person I used to be, so I would be lying if I said it hasn’t changed me.”

Alongside apraxia, Chris also has thyroid problems. He says he’s also battling with dyspraxia which affects his co-ordination and balance.

Admitting this is “quite scary”, he revealed: “The brain tells me that I am going to fall, and unfortunately I often do.”

The TV presenter, who has been on our screens for two decades, waited for 18 months before seeking help for his condition, which “makes talking difficult, with sufferers knowing what they’d like to say, but having trouble communicating their words,” according to the NHS.

Chris, who returned to TV punditry on Boxing Day, says he regrets waiting so long, admitting he wished he’d been diagnosed sooner.

Speaking to the Mirror for Mental Heath Awareness Week last week, the star said when he first realised his speech difficulties, he thought he may be suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s. “It was a really tough period” he recalled.

The former professional footballer spent 24 years presenting Soccer Saturday alongside Jeff Stelling but stepped back in 2022 after his diagnosis.

Despite ‘not being the person he was’, Chris is still in demand on TV, saying of his future career on screen: “I am being offered opportunities all the time, so I can’t rule it out.

“Unfortunately, speech is what is needed for presenting, and mine has become unreliable as far as speed goes.”

Chris says he has seen “massive improvements” with the clarity of his speech, adding that he no longer struggles to find words, which he says was a big problem a couple of years ago.

Referring to his iconic delivery style in which he would fire off football stats and live match updates, he added: “My family constantly remind that I used to speak at 100 miles an hour anyway, which is quite unusual, so I should relax into speaking more slowly, which I now do.”

Liz Hurley has been pictured reuniting with her ‘beloved’ Bedazzled co-star Brendan Fraser at the premiere of his new film, The Whale, and looked over the moon to be back by his side

Liz Hurley is reuniting with her ‘beloved’ co-star of Bedazzled. Liz starred in the movie Bedazzled in 2000. In the film, she played the role of the Devil. Now she is reuniting with co-star Brendan Fraser, taking to Instagram to show the ‘bliss’ moment.

Captioning the photo of the pair cosying up to each other and looking cheerful, Liz said: Reunited! 25 years on, my beloved co-star of Bedazzled – the heavenly Brendan Fraser – and I are finally back on screen together. Bliss. Breaking Bear is a deranged new animated show coming next year on @tubi …”

Brendan made his long-awaited movie comeback in 2023’s The Whale, winning an Academy Award for his leading role. The actor also hosted the 96th annual Oscar Awards last year.

But it was all so different for a long time, as Brendan, now 56, was allegedly shunned for opening up on past abuse claims. In the late 1990s and early noughties, Brendan was a mainstay on the big screen, with key roles in the likes of The Mummy and George of the Jungle. However, he later found himself “blacklisted” in the industry, claiming it was due to his claims he had been the victim of sexual abuse in the industry.

Liz and Brendan starred in the film, Bedazzled

In 2018, Brendan spoke to GQ and said his career “withered on a vine” after the alleged groping in 2003 by a big figure in the industry. He explained how the horrible situation had left him “miserable”, “depressed” and somewhat of a “reclusive”.

Speaking of the incident with the publication at the time, Brendan said: “His left hand reaches around, grabs my a** cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around. I felt ill. I felt like a little kid. I felt like there was a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry… In my mind, at least, something had been taken away from me.”

Brendan later revealed he had received a written apology regarding the incident, but claimed he found himself shut out from the HFPA and the Golden Globes awards which had him thinking he had been blacklisted.

However, last year marked his impressive comeback, and he was visibly emotional during his acceptance speech. As he held his award, he joked: “So this is what the multiverse looks like!”

Brendan went on to say: “I thank the academy for this honour… Darren Aronofsky for throwing me a creative lifeline and hauling me aboard the good ship The Whale,” before he later added: “I started in this business 30 years ago…there was a facility that that I didn’t appreciate at the time until it stopped.

Liz also took to Instagram recently over Easter to showcase her budding romance with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, 63. Now, pals of the Against the Wild actress are saying wedding bells might be heard in the near future. It comes after the surprising match shared yet more images to social media. In the latest Instagram post, the Achy Breaky Heart singer wrapped his arms around his new girlfriend as they posed by a tree for the affectionate shot.

She opted for an airy white lace blouse for the occasion while casually rocking blue jeans and aviator-style sunglasses. Billy Ray flashed a grin as he wore a purple plaid shirt rolled up to the elbows to show off his body art.

Liz was also seen smiling in a vehicle as she sat next to a dog while Billy Ray drove them on the greens. Liz captioned the upload: “Tennessee weekend,” with a love heart emoji, while Heidi Klum was among the many followers sharing their delight at the snaps.

The pair, who first met while filming Christmas In Paradise in 2022, are said to have reconnected last year. It comes as Liz reportedly became a surprising shoulder for him to cry on following the collapse of his third marriage.

However, pals suggest their pair is going from strength to strength, and Liz could soon be the singer’s fourth wife. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Everyone is saying he could be the one, so don’t be surprised if she marries again.”

They added: “Everyone is saying Billy and Liz are worlds apart, but actually they are very similar. They have a lot in common and have the same interests.”

Former glamour model Katie Price has opened up on the horrific mental and physical abuse she suffered in past relationships as she reveals why she didn’t leave them

Katie Price has heartbreakingly opened up on abuse she suffered in past relationships. The former glamour model, 46, is known for having a very rocky love life, yet behind closed doors it seems she was subject to horrific mental and physical abuse.

She is now happily loved up with Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater, but it wasn’t always that way. Katie, who has only been single for three years in her adult life, has had eight engagements and three marriages – all of which have ended in divorce.

In a very candid confession, Katie looked back at her romantic relationships and how she was treated. “There was domestic abuse, gaslighting, narcissists and that’s all I was used to,” she shared.

Opening up on the impact it had on her life, she said: “When you are in them kind of relationships and they isolate you, even from your family. If you want to see your family, they have to be there, won’t let you see your friends, put you down or ‘how long are you going to be’ and ‘where are you’.

“‘Why are you doing that job, you’re a s**g if you want to do that’. I have only ever been used to that. If I was working, they would have to come to work with me and you never get a break. It ends up being 24/7 on my case. It is exhausting.”

While on Paul C Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast, he asked Katie if there was a relationship moment that she’s not yet unpacked in therapy.

She devastatingly replied: “Being strangled, spat on, my computer being completely smashed, holes being punched in the wall, the name calling, things like that.”

Katie was asked if she ever feared for her life, as she explained: “Yes, but I couldn’t leave because [the partners say] ‘I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’ll never do it again. I love you, and it’s always ‘you will never find anyone as good as me.

“You will never find anyone who loves you like me. No one would accept you, and who would want you an old has-been like you with five kids? You are lucky I want you.’

“It is very easy to say to someone who is a victim of mental or physical abuse because you won’t see it. It is behind closed doors. It is the worst situation to be in.”

Katie added: “It is so easy done and it happens very quick. You fall for it but really you fall into the red flags of them isolating you. It all starts, the comments.”

Paul explained his two signs of a good relationship; feeling better with your partner and feeling free. Despite her romance with JJ, Katie admitted: “I’ve never had that in any relationship. Never had any of them.

“And JJ, he’s the most kindest, genuine, easygoing, chilled person. But do I feel my most happiest and do I feel free? No. It’s not a reflection on him, maybe that’s what I need to change for myself.”

Just last week, JJ and Katie were hit by split rumours. Some fans noticed Katie hadn’t featured JJ on her Instagram in a while and JJ has also not posted Katie on his own account in 23 weeks. They also spent Christmas apart.

Amid the speculation, Katie’s representative settled the rumours once and for all. They told the Mirror that the rumours are “not true” and that “nothing has been removed, they’re continuing as normal.”

Love Island host Maya Jama took to social media to share a video alongside her new boyfriend Ruben Dias, following months of speculation that the pair were an item

Maya Jama has confirmed her relationship with Ruben Dias with a video on social media. There has been huge speculation that the Love Island host and Manchester City star have been in a relationship for months, and now her video seems to have proven it.

She took to Instagram Stories to talk to her fans while the Portuguese star sat alongside side her in the back of a car. The duo had been enjoying a meal together before she said they were swarmed by photographers.

Maya told her Instagram fans: “So, we’re currently being followed by a van of paps.” As Maya laughs, she turns that camera onto the footballer who is seen looking behind out of the car window.

She went on: “When we came out the restaurant they were spread out across the road and they didn’t get us so now they’re following. I’m in half a mind to just give them a f***ing show and the other half is hide.”

While Maya laughed at the goings-on she then provided users with an update. “Little update,” she began while sitting outside in the sun. “We made it inside, but I’m pretty sure they know where I live now…”

The duo were pictured kissing and cuddling at KSI’s Baller League event earlier in the month. Video showed them with their arms around each other before the footballer moved in for a peck on her neck.

Speculation the couple had started dating emerged earlier this year. In an advert for Baller League on social media, Match of the Day host Gary Lineker appeared to let the cat out of the bag. His words set social media into a frenzy.

Maya, a presenter on BBC Radio 1, is understood to have introduced the Portuguese footballer to her mum last month, though again the couple hadn’t confirmed any romance to fans online.

She was also at the game at Wembley recently as Rúben’s Manchester City played to a 2-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest. The win booked City’s place in the final of the FA Cup, in which they will face Crystal Palace after the Eagles thumped Aston Villa 3-0.

Amid speculation on her romance with the football star, it was been reported last month that the two took a major step in their relationship involving his mother, Bernadette.

According to a source, Ruben introduced the presenter to his mother. They told The Sun: “Maya and Rúben are getting more serious and she has met his mum, Bernadette.

Before beginning her new romance, Maya had a years-long on-off romance with chart-topping musician Stormzy, whose real name is Michael Owuo Jr, 31.
