When is Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding?

Brooklyn and Nicola are set to marry on April 9, 2022.

The couple have said they’re holding a Jewish ceremony.

Nicola’s billionaire businessman dad Nelson, 79 — a three times-married father of ten — is expected to pay for them, which friends say is being budgeted at £4million.

The wedding will be at the Peltz family mansion in Palm Springs, Florida, which is rumoured to cost £76million ($99.8million), and contains 44,000 square feet right on to the beach.

How did they get engaged?

Loved-up Brooklyn and Nicola, met each other in 2017, but did not start dating until 2019.

Then in 2020, the 23-year-old announced that he had popped the question on Saturday, July 11, sharing a photo of himself and 27-year-old Nicola embracing.

He posted: “Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes. I am the luckiest man in the world.”

The emerald cut engagement ring, which he proposed with, is estimated to feature a 4.5-5 carat diamond.

Who’s on the guest list?

Unsurprisingly , the Beckhams have a host of friends in high places.

David and Victoria attended the 2018 royal wedding, so Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are rumoured to be attending the young Beckham’s nuptials.

Elton John is also a long-time friend of the Beckhams with David and Victoria attending his wedding to David Furnish’s back in 2014.

Hollywood superstar Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and children Jaden and Willow are family friends of Brooklyn, and are said to have be invited.

Other star guests include: Gigi Hadid, Sofia and Nicole Richie, Snoop Dogg, Rocco Ritchie, Eva Longoria, The Ramsays and, of course, the Spice Girls.

What will the presents be?

The Sun revealed that Victoria and David are planning to buy a London home for the couple as a wedding gift.

A source said: “Victoria and David have offered to buy the house which will be seen as a wedding gift. It’s incredibly generous but they are like any other proud parents who want to help as much as they can.

“Brooklyn is eyeing up properties in East London but nothing is off limits.”

It is yet to be seen what Nicola’s billionaire parents splash out on.

In June 2021, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola had bought a £7.5million mansion in Beverly Hills.

Who will be the bridesmaids?

Earlier this year, Nicola announced that her “Naunni” (grandmother) will be her maid of honour.

She confirmed the heart-warming decision in an Instagram story, where she wrote: “My Naunni is my maid of honor.”

Brooklyn’s younger sister, Harper, ten, is expected to be chief bridesmaid.

Brooklyn’s brothers Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17, could act as his ushers.

What will she wear?

Peltz has hired stylist Leslie Fremar to help design her wedding dress.

They visited Valentino in Rome and though the dress hasn’t been revealed, fashion house’s Pierpaolo Piccioli has been confirmed as its designer.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is “doing great” after suffering a health issue on a flight to Los Angeles this weekend, according to representatives.

Tyson experienced an ucler-related issue just before his flight from Miami to Los Angeles touched down on Sunday.

An eyewitness told inTouch that the medical issue prompted an announcement onboard seeking a doctor, and that parademics met the plane on arrival in California.

“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” the eyewitness said. “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.““He was in first class, but we were an exit row,” the eyewitness added. “They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] said something like, ‘He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words ‘Mike Tyson’ and she nodded her head yes.”

Representatives for the former world heavyweight champion said that he had suffered a health issue.

“He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him” and is now “doing great,” a representative told the New York Post.

Tyson, 57, is set to fight YouTube influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 27, in Texas on 20 July, the first boxing match ever carried live on Netflix.

Ahead of the fight, the boxers both bragged that would defeat the other in a press conference earlier this month.

“I was doing this years ago, so this is nothing new to me,” Tyson said of Paul, who only began boxing professionally four years ago. “This is new to this young boy over here.”

Tyson acknowledged, however, that his body is feeling the strain of training for his first-sanctioned fight since retiring in 2005.

“I’m doing great, but my body is s*** right now,” Tyson said at the press conference. “I’m sore, I’m really sore.”

Paul said that he respects Tyson but will defeat him in the fight at AT&T stadium, the 80,000-seat venue that’s home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

“Age doesn’t matter. He’s a killer, he’s a warrior. He’s been doing this his whole life, so it’s second nature to him. I’ve only been doing this for four years and at a super high level,” Paul said.

He added: “On 20 July, I’m going to show the world that I can outbox Mike Tyson and prove everyone wrong, and show that I’m going to be the one doing the killing.”

Jessica Mulroney destroys Meghan Markle

 

Now, let’s break this down, shall we? First, we have the freebie fiasco. Apparently, Meghan and Jessica were using the royal name to get their hands on luxury goods faster than you can say “God Save the Queen.” We’re talking designer clothes, fancy skincare, probably even gold-plated teapots for all we know. They were treating these high-end brands like their personal Costco, and the currency was royal clout.

But here’s where it gets juicy. They weren’t just hoarding these freebies like some kind of post-dragon’s treasure. No, that would be too simple for our dynamic duo. Instead, they were allegedly turning around and selling these items for profit. That’s right, folks—the Duchess of Sussex, fifth in line to the throne, was essentially running a royal yard sale. Can you imagine? Gently used tiara, only worn once to disappoint the queen. Asking price: your firstborn child and a small kingdom.

 

But wait, there’s more. As if scamming luxury goods wasn’t enough, they were apparently double-dipping by billing good old King Charles for various expenses. It’s like she took one look at the royal coffers and thought, “You know what this needs? A touch of Hollywood accounting.”

Now, I can already hear some of you out there defending Meghan. You’re saying, “Maybe she was trying to save the taxpayers some money. Maybe she was redistributing wealth.” To which I say, if that’s wealth distribution, then I’m the king of England. No, what we’re looking at here, if these allegations are true, is a level of grift that would make the most seasoned con artists tip their hat in absolute respect.

 

Let’s not forget, this is coming from Jessica Mulroney—the same Jessica who was once Meghan’s ride-or-die, her Canadian concierge, the woman who was there for all the big moments. So why is she spilling the tea now? Is this a case of revenge served ice-cold, or is Jessica trying to get ahead of a story that was bound to come out anyway?

I can jst imagine the conversation:

Harry: “Darling, that’s a lovely new handbag. Is it new?”

Meghan: “Oh, this old thing? I’ve had it for ages. Now, can you sign the expense report for your dad? It’s for royal stuff.”

Jokes aside, if there’s any truth to these allegations, it could have serious consequences. We’re not just talking about a slap on the wrist or a strongly worded letter. This is the kind of scandal that could lead to investigations and legal action. It’s like finding out your favorite influencer’s authentic posts are all paid promotions.

Loose Women was full of surprises on Wednesday’s episode as it celebrated the 40th anniversary of Cilla Black’s hit show, Surprise Surprise, which first aired in May 1984

Loose Women was full of surprises on Wednesday’s episode as Andrea McLean returned to the show four years after quitting and dropped comeback news.

During the latest instalment, the hit ITV chat show celebrated the 40th anniversary of Cilla Black’s hit show, Surprise Surprise, which first aired in May 1984. As such, the hour-long show had plenty of surprises in store for the panellists, audience and viewers at home. Throughout the episode, host Christine Lampard revealed that a former Loose Women star would be surprising everyone on air with some news and kept dropping hints.

Eventually, at the end of the episode, Andrea, 54, was revealed as she surprised everyone by returning four years after she quit back in 2020. Andrea, who was one of Loose Women’s longest serving stars, also dropped some news as she revealed that she would be returning to Loose Women again in September for the show’s 25th anniversary in a special milestone.

It comes as Loose Women star Andrea teased a return to the ITV daytime show, four years after she quit, earlier this year in April. The presenter spent more than 20 years on TV before she took a break from the spotlight to focus on her mindset app, This Girl Is On Fire, as well as her Mastering Midlife podcast with her husband, Nick Feeney.

Fans were stunned when Andrea announced she was walking away from Loose Women in 2020 after making her debut on the award-winning show back in 2007. However, she revealed earlier this year that she’s “open” to a return as she lifted the lid on her relationship with her former co-stars.

Addressing rumours she may be back with the Loose ladies this year, she said at the time: “I’m open to anything… for the past few years my answer has always been no. However, since coaching others, the door in my head has creaked open a bit…and suddenly people are knocking on the door again, which is nice. So yes, I could be coming back to screens this year, but I’m not saying any more than that!”

Andrea spent years sitting alongside Loose Women panellists, including Coleen Nolan, Denise Welch and Janet Street-Porter and said that while she still speaks to some of her former colleagues, she doesn’t keep in touch with all of them. Asked whether she’s still pals with the presenters, she told Woman’s Own magazine: “Yes, not everyone, in the same way that everybody doesn’t keep in touch with everyone they’ve worked with. I saw Brenda [Edwards] last week and Denise [Welch]. There are a few of us [who stay in touch]. I don’t go out very often, but I did attend Linda Robson’s book launch in London recently, she’s brilliant!”

Loose Women panellist, Nadia Sawalha, has taken to social media to question the Chelsea Flower Show organisers over why she has never been invited back to the event

Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha has hit out at the Chelsea Flower Show on Instagram, as she demanded to know why she hadn’t been invited back.

The gardening show takes place every year on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London. It attracts visitors from across the globe every year, and is often visited by the Royals, including King Charles and Queen Camilla who were there on Monday, 20 May.

However, it doesn’t look like Loose Women star Nadia, 59, will be appearing at this year’s event, which starts officially on Tuesday, 21, May, as she took to Instagram to directly ask the organisers why, after being invited years ago, she has never been asked to go again.

In a video posted to her Instagram grid, Nadia joked: “This is a serious question, to the Chelsea Flower Show. What have I done to p*** you off? I got invited one year, came with my mum, it was lovely.

“I had the cake and just one glass of champagne. I took photos… and my mum and my mother-in-law ask me every year whether we can go again. And I haven’t been able to tell them that whenever I do ask you always say no. I just have to pretend every year that I’ve forgotten to ask.”

Nadia continued: “What have I actually done? I’ve seen that everyone was there again today. I’ve got a nice garden, we’ve got a gardening show on our YouTube channel. I do a lot on social media. I know I’m a Z list celebrity but who have I p***** off? Is it cos I’m from south London? Is it because I’m a bit common?”

Nadia captioned her post, tagging the Chelsea Flower Show and saying: “Just be straight, I can take it.” She then questioned: “Seriously why am I not on the list? I don’t usually go to anything that demands shapewear and high heels! I HATE ‘events’ but it’s the ONLY thing my mum and mum in law ever ask me about.”

Her fans were quick to comment on the post, with one writing: “Maybe you’re too “real” right now,” while others suggested she should just buy her own ticket to the show. Nadia responded to this, clarifying her point: “Heh guys! OF course I would buy a ticket but you can’t for the celeb day! MY mum is 87 and can’t manage the crowds.”

One celebrity who did receive an invite to the Chelsea Flower Show was Britain’s Got Talent judge, Amanda Holden. She looked stunning in a floral pink skirt and top with a matching jacket, smiling alongside her mum, Judith.

In the midst of financial woes, Meghan Markle struggles to raise Archie and Lilibet

Meghan Markle, known as the Duchess of Sussex, is currently facing a multitude of challenges in raising her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

These difficulties stem from financial troubles, exacerbated by her recent lack of Hollywood projects following the loss of a lucrative $20 million Spotify deal earlier this year, alongside Netflix canceling her animated series, Pearl.

The Duchess’s financial strains are taking a toll on her well-being, as reported by In Touch Weekly. The ongoing financial strain has left Meghan feeling overwhelmed, struggling to maintain her family’s accustomed lavish lifestyle while also tending to the needs of her children.

Concerns about Meghan’s health have been raised, with a nutrition expert noting her alarming weight loss, indicating potential neglect of self-care amidst mounting stress. An insider has echoed these concerns, suggesting that Meghan is “cracking under the pressure” of relentless public scrutiny and financial worries.

The Duchess’s predicament is exacerbated by the constant need to navigate financial challenges, with bills accumulating and the pressure to sustain the lifestyle expected of her and Prince Harry.

Balancing her time between her children and managing these financial burdens has become increasingly challenging, leaving Meghan feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin.

Psychotherapist Stacey Kaiser has observed the significant weight loss experienced by Meghan, interpreting it as a manifestation of underlying stress, depression, and exhaustion.

These factors collectively paint a picture of Meghan Markle grappling with the complexities of parenthood amidst financial turmoil, navigating a delicate balance between her family’s well-being and the relentless demands of public life.

After stepping back from their royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex embarked on a new adventure: creating their own fairy-tale haven. Nestled on 5.4 acres of prime California real estate, their sprawling nine-bedroom mansion is nothing short of extraordinary. Let’s take a closer look at this luxurious retreat that combines regal elegance with modern amenities.

A House Fit for Royalty

The Sussexes’ dream home is a masterpiece of architectural design. With nine bedrooms, it accommodates their growing family and provides ample space for guests. But it’s not just the size that impresses—it’s the thoughtful details that make this mansion truly exceptional.

Amenities Galore

From the moment you step through the grand entrance, you’re greeted by opulence. The mansion boasts a private library, perfect for quiet moments of reflection. The office, bathed in natural light, overlooks the lush gardens. And for relaxation, there’s a spa and gym where the couple can unwind after a busy day.

But it’s the entertainment spaces that steal the show. The game room, complete with vintage arcade games and a billiards table, is where Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet play to their hearts’ content. And the wine cellar? It’s a connoisseur’s delight, stocked with rare vintages from around the world.

And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: 16 bathrooms! Yes, you read that correctly. Each one is a work of art, featuring marble, gold accents, and designer fixtures. No more waiting in line for the throne here!

Outdoor Oasis

The Sussexes’ estate extends beyond the walls of their mansion. The meticulously landscaped gardens offer a serene escape, with winding paths, fragrant blooms, and hidden nooks. A tennis court invites friendly matches, while the charming tea house is the perfect spot for afternoon tea with friends.

For the little royals, there’s a whimsical children’s cottage—a miniature version of the main house. And when the California sun beckons, the pool awaits, surrounded by loungers and umbrellas. And let’s not forget the spacious five-car garage—because even royals need a place to park their wheels.

The Price of Luxury

Maintaining such opulence comes at a cost. Eric Bramlett, a luxury real estate expert, sheds light on the financial demands. “Running a $14 million mansion in Montecito takes a lot of work,” he explains. The Sussexes employ a team of 10-15 full-time staff members, including housekeepers, chefs, groundsmen, and security personnel. Utilities, landscaping, maintenance, and security expenses add up to hundreds of thousands annually.

But fear not—the Sussexes’ combined net worth of £48 million ensures they won’t be pinching pennies. Their lucrative deals with Netflix, Penguin Random House, and Spotify have bolstered their finances. And before her royal days, Meghan’s acting career already made her worth an estimated £3.5 million.

Prince Harry, too, enjoys financial stability. Thanks to a trust fund established by The Queen Mother, he received a share of £6 million when he turned 21. And as he approaches his 40th birthday, he’ll gain access to even more, thanks to Princess Diana’s legacy.

In the end, their Montecito mansion isn’t just a house— it’s a testament to love, hard work, and the pursuit of a fairy-tale life.

 

Since stepping down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been working to build their own brand while enjoying a more private family life in California.

However, it seems te pressure is increasing for the couple, with tensions rising after the end of their exclusive Spotify deal, Harry receiving backlash over his recognition award, and growing concerns about the future of their Netflix partnership.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have consistently shown a united front and navigated many challenges, as seen in their Netflix series, public appearances, and joint involvement in the Invictus Games.

However, it appears their intense efforts to succeed on their own may be taking a toll, with a source claiming that for the first time in a while, the couple is not working together, leading to a “growing rift” between them.

“This has been such a challenging few months for Meghan and Harry and the pressure they are under is immense. They feel they are constantly under attack. When they first left the royals, they had so much support and that support seems to be dwindling over time and they’re facing increasing criticism,” a source claimed, reports OK!.

“Harry has been really hurt by the backlash over his award nomination and Meghan is still reeling over the Spotify axe as she loved doing that podcast and she knows people want her to fail with her next project so there’s quite a lot of tension in the house at the moment.”

Saira Khan has opened up about her time on Loose Women and the real reason she decided to quit the ITV chat show after five years on the panel back in 2020

Saira Khan, the former Loose Women panellist, has opened up about her time on the show, why she decided to leave, and the friendships she maintains post-exit in a candid chat. In an exclusive with Woman’s Own magazine, the one-time Apprentice star who shot to fame as the runner-up in the inaugural 2005 series reflected on her stint from 2015 to 2020 on the panel of the hit daytime TV show.

She explained her departure from Loose Women, saying: “It was more about me growing up and saying, ‘Look, this is what I like, and this is what I don’t like,’ and some of the things that go on, I was just not comfortable with it, and I think you have to be honest with it.””It doesn’t mean you’re falling out, it just means it’s not enough for me.”

Khan also dished on her current ties with her ex-co-stars. “I recently went out with Ruth [Langsford] to go and see Coleen [Nolan] on her solo tour in Blackpool,” she revealed.

“I keep in touch with Andrea [McLean] and Denise [Welch]. I know people think I fell out with them all, but it wasn’t about the girls, it was more about me to be honest with you.”, reports OK!.

Post-Loose Women, Saira took on the gruelling SAS: Who Dares Wins, joining celebs like Kerry Katona, James Cracknell, Alexandra Burke, and Wes Nelson. She’s also been seen on the Jeremy Vine on 5 morning show, which she admits to preferring over her Loose Women gig.

“I wouldn’t go back to Loose Women I’ve done that and I think I’ve come out of it realising I want to move forward, and I want to do things that I really enjoy,” she shared. “Also, Jeremy Vine gives me space to talk about politics as well as just talking about my private life and who I am. I think people can get a bit bored of that, and the same subjects.”

“I also like the diversity of it, and that it’s not just all females there’s men and women, and I quite like that. It’s a bit more real life, and you can have a bit more laughter.”

When she joined Jeremy’s show earlier this year, she told The Mirror : “After taking a few years off the telly, it was nice to be back and I didn’t realise how much I missed it. It was Jeremy [Vine] who persuaded me to come back.”

She added: “I think it’s good to have a break and I feel more confident now about who I am and what I want to say.”

They added: “They were as close to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan as you could get,” reports MailOnline. Meanwhile, a pal of the pair told The Sun how the couple drifted apart in recent months as their work commitments “took them in different directions”.

Recently, Ruth touched on the subject of her marriage in a TV appearance and revealed how she would hate her marriage to end. While appearing on Loose Women, she confessed she would hate it if Eamonn were to leave her for a woman the same age as her and not someone younger.

So, as the star prepares to make a statement about the end of her marriage, here’s a look at her Loose Women colleagues, who also decided to call it a day with their husbands.

Birds of a Feather star, Linda, 65, broke the news she and her husband, Mark Dunford, were splitting up on Loose Women last year.

After 33 years of marriage, the actress spoke to OK! magazine about the breakdown of their relationship, insisting the split wasn’t triggered by anything dramatic. Linda shared: “People do, sometimes, don’t they? We never had that much in common. I’m very sociable. Mark never enjoyed that side of things.”

The mum-of-four continued to explain how their kids kept them together for some many years, with the actress quick to describe her ex as “an amazing dad. “I’ve been sad about it, of course I have,” she admitted. “But we had two lovely children together. But they’re all grown up, living their own lives now. Now, it’s me and Dolly the dog. [But] I’m in a really good place. Work’s good.”

Journalist Jane Moore said her husband was still her ‘best friend’ as she announced their separation live on the ITV lunchtime show in 2022.

The panellist, 62, married her husband Gary Farrow in 2002 and the two are parents to daughters Ellie and Grace. Jane is also step-mother to Gary’s elder daughter Lauren.

Jane said the pair decided to split in 2021, but held off proceedings after Gary broke his leg. She added that they had decided to stay together for one last Christmas and would officially move on in the new year. Speaking on the ITV show, Jane revealed: “So Gary and I are separating. But it’s weird that it’s out there [in public] because we’ve been processing it for about a year.

“We’re both quite private people. We had discussed it last year… it was going to happen last year. And then he fell and broke his leg and, no, I didn’t push him,” she joked.

Speaking about nursing her husband back to health, Jane concluded: “I have been sort of caring for him in that sense of the word. It’s enabled us to sort of segue to process it first of all, and to sort of segue nicely into a really good friendship.”

Other Loose Women stars to face marital crisis

Coleen Nolan

Writing in her Daily Mirror column, Coleen said: “I wanted to tell you first as I can hardly sit here and keep dishing out advice if I’m not being totally straight about what is going on in my own life.

“There is too much dividing me and Ray. We can’t go back.”

She also spoke about the “hellish” 12 months of relationship difficulties the couple endured.

“The last 12 months have been pretty hellish. I’ve been honest on Loose Women for a while that Ray and I have been having problems and it’s all I thought about in the Big Brother house.”

Andrea McLean

Andrea, 54, who joined Loose Women in 2007, split with her second husband, builder Steve Tom, in 2012. In a heart-rending interview, the former GMTV weather girl revealed to the Mirror: “Steve and I had grown apart and we both knew it. We’d tried so many times to make it work, but it was hopeless.”

She continued: “I had hoped we’d be together for ever, I insisted I wouldn’t make the mistakes I made in my first marriage and I wrote about how my heart would lift with love when I saw his name flash up on my phone. And I really meant it. I tried for a year to save our marriage. I tried so hard…”

Sadly, for Andrea, the topic of marriages breaking down was up for debate on her Loose Women show, as she admitted she struggled through it. Opening up about hosting the show, she said: “On my first Loose Women show of the New Year the topic was, ‘Why do marriages break down at Christmas.’ I just wanted to burst out crying, but somehow I got through.

“I’d kept my marriage problems to myself and only Sherrie Hewson saw through my brave face. But I’ve explained everything now and I know the ladies will all be there for me.”
