    For more than 30 years, Barbara Corcoran and Bill Higgins have reportedly followed a set-up where they have to be in their respective bedrooms instead of sleeping in one bed.

    Speaking during his appearance on Today With Hoda & Jenna in March, Corcoran explained they have to invite each other in. The space they have been providing to each other has reportedly helped them have “sexiness” in their relationship.

    On top of that, she has another reason why she wants to be in a different bedroom.

    “He’s such a mess. He puts piles of stuff everywhere and I am very neat, so I couldn’t sleep well at night. Now, I sleep like a baby,” she continued.

    Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden

    In her interview on the “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast in December 2023, Cameron Diaz promoted sleeping apart as she and her husband, Benji Madden, have normalized the set-up.

    “To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours. We have the family house in the middle. I will go and sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room. I’m fine,” she said, adding, “And we have the bedroom in the middle that we can convene in for our relations.”

    In 2019, Carson Daly and Siri Pinter started sleeping separately while the latter was pregnant with their fourth child. The TV host said his sleep apnea led them to make the decision.

    “We just shook hands like, ‘I love you, but it’s time to sleep divorce. It’ll be the best thing for all of us,’” Daly told People in 2020.

    A former White House staff exposed to The New York Times what Donald Trump and Melania Trump usually do when not in public.

    Instead of spending more time together after their busy schedules, they reportedly stay in different rooms in their homes — and when they travel.

    Mary Jordan shared a similar statement in her book, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump.

    “No matter which of his properties he is visiting, Trump sleeps in a separate bedroom that has been decorated to his taste — he favors darker colored walls and rugs, while Melania likes whites and light colors,” the author claimed in the book.

    “I’ve never been a stepmother before. I don’t know how to do it,” Paltrow told WSJ Magazine. “We are still doing it in our own way. With teenage kids, you’ve got to tread lightly. It’s pretty intense, the teenage thing.”

    Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick took their sleep divorce to the next level in 2016 when they decided not only to have their own beds and rooms but also to have two adjacent townhomes instead.

    “They’ve had some ups and downs and they decided that separate living areas were crucial to keep them together,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “They’ll be tearing down a wall between the town houses to make a mega mansion, but it’s definitely one side for her and the other for him, with the kids having access to both.”

    Parker also said in a 2018 interview that having time apart has strengthened their marriage.

    Victoria and David Beckham

    FAMILY FIRST Victoria Beckham quashes feud rumours as she wishes daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz a happy birthday

    VICTORIA Beckham has quashed rumours of a feud between her and son Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz.

    Rumours of a fall-out between fashion designer Victoria and actress Nicola have been rife since her wedding to Brooklyn, 23, in April.

    But Victoria made it clear things between them are fine when she publicly wished Nicola a happy birthday.

    Sharing a snap of them together on her Instagram story, showing the two women covering their mouths with their hands, Spice Girl Victoria wrote: “Happy Birthday @NicolaAnnePeltzBeckham 💗 Hope you have a lovely day!!! X.”

    Apparently equally as keen to put the feud rumours to bed, Nicola, 28, swiftly responded: “Thank you so much! 💖💖💖.”

    Victoria’s husband David also shared a photo – which appeared to have been taken on the same occasion – and added: “Happy birthday. Have a lovely day.”

    It was previously claimed Posh and Nicola fell out over her wedding dress – with Nicola insisting VB pulled out of designing it at the last minute.

    While Nicola previously insisted “there is no feud”, she pointedly explained how Victoria had decided to break the news about the wedding dress to her mum Claudia instead.

    Victoria was reportedly already upset at suggestions that she had in some way let down the bride-to-be by not coming up with a finished outfit for the big day.

    In an interview with The Sunday Times, Nicola said of the Dressgate saga: “The real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me.

    “And I was really excited to wear it. And I didn’t end up wearing it.”

    A source previously told The Sun: “David and Victoria would love to spend more time with their son and his wife, and be given the opportunity to welcome her into the fold, especially given that Brooklyn practically lives with his parents-in-law.”

    David wore a brown straw hat, a light brown t-shirt, and dark brown rimmed sunglasses.

    The couple posed in front of a drink with the backdrop of nature and trees.

    David captioned the snap: “Merry Christmas to my amazing family & feeling very thankful for everything they do for me , love you all.”

    Posh Spice answered the question of what you get for the man who has everything this festive season when she gifted David chickens.

    Fans were delighted by the reveal video Victoria posted on Instagram.

    In it she zoomed in on the hen house, asking her husband: “What did you get for Christmas David?”

    He responded: “I got some chickens, and a cockerel!”

    The celebrity couple share four children together, Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 20,  Cruz, 18, and Harper, 11.

    David is currently overseas with his family and they’ve made sure to snap the moment for Instagram.

    It comes as Cruz Beckham in September went for a tough and rugged look following a successful driving test.

    The youngster was spotted in a Land Rover Defender in central London in his first drive after claiming his license.

    David said: “Watch out, someone passed his test. Well done mate, love you X.”

    The budding singer celebrated the milestone with a McDonald’s run, sharing a snap of his big mac and fries.

    He said of the McDonald’s trip: “First stop always.”

    Meanwhile, mum Victoria was snapped arriving to work in a phenomenal Ferrari, with Becks late last year spotted in a Maserati GranTurismo.

    The Manchester United legend is a global ambassador for Maserati, and has been able to snare incredible customised motors as reward for his work.

    His Maserati merchandise also includes a 1986 Quattroporte Royale, a 1967 Ghibli and a 2002 MC20.

    The Lamborghini Gallardo that came during his time at Real Madrid can bolt from 0-100 kilometres per hour in just 4.3 seconds, although it did go up for auction late last year.

    The family’s other Italian stallions have of course included a fleet of Ferraris, too.

    But the British brands still seem to rule the roost, with a Bentley Continental GT Supersports and a Mulsanne in the mix, both valued at more than £250,000.

    According to goal.com, the Beckham garage also boasts a Jaguar F-Type Project 7 with a supercharged V8 engine.

    And he has owned a classic 1988 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, along with a slick McLaren 12C Spider.

    Speaking of special vehicles valued at more than £250,000, there are Rolls Royce motors adding yet more class to the collection.

    The England footie legend has been seen in both the Ghost and the Drophead Coupe in recent years.

    Both models are armed with V12 engines, with the Coupe having previously been favoured by other celebs like Conor McGregor and Rowan Atkinson.

    Posh has flexed her own appetite for wonder wheels over the years, including a luxury off-road Land Rover in addition to the stylish Ferrari she’s recently been spotted in.

    Becks’ first car, however, had an element of humble beginnings.

    He drove a Volkswagen Golf back in the 1990s, purchased three years after he was signed as a trainee at Manchester United.

    There’s been a host of Jags, Porsches and even motorcycles that have since made their way in and out of the Beckham garage, which has proven a showpiece for dreamy cars.

    Son Brooklyn, meanwhile, has favoured Mercs and BMWs.

    He previously described his Mercedes Z4 as “the meanest car I have ever seen”.

    He and wife Nicola Pletz also received an all electric version of a vintage Jag as a wedding gift from Posh and Becks.

    Romeo, 21, might still be amassing his own array of beauties but has been previously seen cruising around London in a Maserati Levante.

    There was a huge fireworks display high above the rural manor as the Beckhams rang in 2023 in style.

    But before that, there was dancing, drinking and lots of laughter inside the rustic house.

    David, 47, and Victoria’s parents joined grandchildren Romeo, 20, Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11, for the special occasion.

    There were lots of smiley selfies, and dad David wore a pair of novelty reindeer shades with his smart brown suit as he sipped red wine.

    Victoria, 48, dressed in designer black, cuddled her husband in front of a roaring fire and made sure to get a sweet snap with her dad beside a large Christmas tree.

    One Beckham was notably absent from the party: Brooklyn, 24.

    The photographer and chef was on the other side of the Atlantic with wife Nicola for New Year.

    David commemorated the occasion on Instagram, writing: “Happy New Year from the BECKHAM’S.

    “We love you Brooklyn, we miss you. 2023.”

    The family’s friends and fans flooded the comments section with well-wishes for the family, telling them ‘Happy New Year’.

    Victoria and David previously gave their fans a sneak peek inside their family Christmas at home with the kids.

    A body language expert revealed that the snaps showed a power shift in their marriage.

    In an exclusive interview, Judi James told The U.S. Sun: “In the photo with David, Victoria seems to be enjoying looking like she’s his gift rather than the other way around.

    “She keeps both her arms down rather than wrapping her left arm around David in a reciprocal hug and she creates a barrier between them.

    “The slogan on her hoodie suggests she’s still his fan after 23 years of marriage, but the words ‘All I Want for Christmas is David Beckham’ shows an admiration for the football hero and his brand rather than the man himself.

    “By acknowledging the fame, desirability, and brand of her partner like this, Victoria’s just creating PR puff for Brand Beckham as a couple.”

    DAVID Beckham has shared a hilarious insight into his family life after revealing his daughter Harper has her first crush.

    Becks posted the black and white snap to his Instagram account on Wednesday, showing off his plethora of neck tattoos.

    Writing to his 70.9 million followers on the social media platform, he said: “Roses are red🌹

    “Harper seven mentions she has a crush & this is daddy’s face 🤬🤬🤬”

    David and his only daughter are incredibly close, and she’s undeniably a daddy’s girl.

    However, he added that all is not lost: “but it’s ok she said daddy you are my only valentine ❤️”

    The hilarious post attracted over 900,000 likes on the platform, with endless celebs and fans flooding to the comments to share their thoughts.

    Professional athlete pal of David’s, Angela Manuel Davis, commented: “Hahahahahaha!!!!!”

    A fan commented: “Awww how cute.”

    Another agreed the situation was adorable: “bless her, she will always be a daddys girl first david x”

    It comes after David was targeted by trolls yet again for posting a series of selfies with Harper earlier this month.

    The father-of-four has posted loving snaps of him and his daughter sharing a peck on the lips, which has caused a divide amongst his following.

    On January 14, he posted two snaps, captioned: “Daddy & Princess Leia had a lovely walk this morning 🥶 #HarperSeven ❤️”

    Whilst some were judgemental, the majority came to David’s defence.

    One wrote: “Some people are criticizing the kiss photo .Why to sexualize such a great father-daughter moment?!”

    Another agreed: “Here we go again !!! Slating the poor man for kissing his little girl! Leave them alone , I kissed my Dad on the lips every time I saw him and told him how much I loved him, after all Dads are little girls first love and forever hero!!!”

    VICTORIA Beckham has invited daughter-in-law Nicola to sit front row at her Paris Fashion Week show tomorrow, say insiders.

    The designer is hoping that an appearance by son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz will quash rumours of a rift between the families.

    “Victoria extended the olive branch and asked Brooklyn and Nicola to stay on in Paris and come to her show,” says the insider.

    “It would put a stop to the rift rumours and she and the family would love to see them.

    “To have him and his wife sitting front row at her first Paris show would put on a united front.”

    Earlier this week, Brooklyn and his actress wife Nicola attended the Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week.

    Nicola, 27, previously revealed that she’d hoped her mother-in-law would design the dress for her April wedding to chef Brooklyn.

    “I was planning on wearing Victoria’s wedding dress and I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created,” she told Grazia USA.

    “We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn’t hear anything. Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn’t make it.

    “So, I spoke to my mom, and I was like, ‘Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?’

    “I’ve been a fan of Valentino and their couture for so long. I was really lucky to be able to travel to [the atelier] to try on the dress. That’s really what happened.”

    It comes just days after The Sun revealed how David, 47, was acting as a peacemaker for the family, with a source telling The Sun: “Frankly, the most interesting thing about Nicola is that she married into the Beckham clan.

    “David and Victoria have both reached out to her to try and make peace, and find a way to get along.

    “David and Victoria would love to spend more time with their son and his wife, and be given the opportunity to welcome her into the fold, especially given that Brooklyn practically lives with his parents-in-law.”

    Victoria’s rep has been contacted for comment.

  • Bennifer’s £77 bash is a good sign their marriage will last till death do them part

    Bennifer’s £77 bash is a good sign their marriage will last till death do them part

    GIVEN that they only spent £77 on their Vegas nuptials, the marriage of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is likely to last longer than, say, that of Brooklyn Beckham and new wife Nicola Peltz, whose recent wedding cost millions.

    I say this not as “Mystic Moore” but as a science-based prediction taken from the last study available on such weighty matters.

    Namely the survey undertaken by the Marriage Foundation earlier this year which discovered that ten per cent of marriages that started with a wedding costing more than £20,000 broke down within three years — twice the overall divorce rate of five per cent in that time.

    Of course, every one should have the wedding they wish to within the means at their disposal, but in a global cost-of- living crisis “Ben- nifer” perhaps felt it would be a little tone deaf to splash the cash on wedding number four for her, second for him.

    So instead, they queued up with four other couples to get their licence and, along with the five kids they have between them, headed off to Vegas’s famous Little White Chapel just after midnight.

    They didn’t even pay for an Elvis impersonator because, according to J-Lo, “that cost extra and he was in bed”.

    What a far cry from 2003, when they were first engaged and planned a 400-guest extravaganza (called off just hours before the ceremony) with a diamond ring the size of a small planet and three decoy brides.

    This time, Ben changed in to his tux in the loo, Jen wore a movie dress she’s had for ages, and the pair of them look wonderfully content and carefree — perhaps liberated from all the fuss and attention that usually goes hand in hand with high-profile weddings.

    Brooklyn and Nicola seem happy.

    But would they have been less so if they’d popped to Vegas for a quickie and donated some of the reported £5million cost of their lavish wedding to a good cause instead?

    And what about Kim Kardashian’s wedding to Kris Humphries that cost around $10million and lasted 72 days?

    Or her later wedding to Kanye West that reportedly notched up a $12million bill and is now over?

    Petra Ecclestone’s first marriage to James Stunt cost around £12million and ended in acrimony.

    Last weekend, she married Sam Palmer in a “low-key” ceremony costing around £1million.

    Cripes.

    Perhaps if you’re an Ecclestone, that’s considered cheap.
    Of course, there are plenty of lavish celebrity weddings where the couples are still together.

    But cost aside, I wonder how many of them look at the simplicity of Bennifer’s big day and wish they’d done the same?

    No fuss, no guests fretting about the table plan, no tricky relatives to deal with, no giant screens needed to shield the bride from prying eyes, no paparazzi helicopters circling overhead, no temperamental dress designer barking orders at flustered assistants, no vegetarian/vegan options to worry about and no giant rock you worry about being mugged for.

    Just you two, your kids, and a cheap and cheerful ceremony with the minimum of fuss. Heaven.

    Better still, the stats for it lasting the course are stacked in your favour.

    Jude Bellingham posed for SKIMS but he is not the first England player to flaunt their underwear – with David Beckham, Gary Lineker and Lioness heroine Chloe Kelly having done so too

    Jude Bellingham‘s promotional exploits for SKIMS earned the Real Madrid and England star some new fans, who are drawn to players in their underpants.

    It harked back to one of the country’s most recognisable football figures, David Beckham, who took part in several photoshoots for underwear during his playing days.

    The 20-year-old’s pics for Kim Kardashian‘s fashion brand came in the days building up to Euro 2024, with England playing their opening fixture against Serbia on Sunday night.

    But Bellingham is by no means the only England star to have shown off their underwear, either accidentally, or by design.

    Here’s a look at some of the other Three Lions stars past and present who have also been spotted showing their pants off to the wider world.

    Jude Bellingham

    Where else can we begin than with England’s current shining light? Off the back of winning the Champions League in his first season at Real Madrid, he will be eager for more success with the national team in Germany this summer.

    Bellingham, 20, sent fans into a frenzy with the new SKIMS advertisements which were shown off for the first time earlier this month.

    Kim Kardashian launched her SKIMS line for men in October 2023, expanding her $4billion brand with the help of Brazilian star NeymarNBA point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and NFL defensive end Nick Bosa.

    The pictures of Bellingham have also drawn the attention of the audience in England, and across Europe.

    Since making his England debut in 2020, Bellingham has risen to the top of world football, and will be hoping to go one further than the runners-up finish he achieved with England at the last European Championship three years ago.

    David Beckham

    Probably the most famous England star to promote underwear, David Beckham, who wore national colours between 1996 and 2009, did several promotions for top names.

    Starting from 2007, the Man United and Real Madrid icon posed in promotional shots for Emporio Armani, which led to some speculation that the image had been digitally enhanced.

    And in 2012, he launched his own line of underwear with fashion retail giant H&M, which of course came with promotional shots of the midfielder wearing the items in question.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Liverpool ace Trent Alexander-Arnold cosied up to Iris Law during a racy photoshoot for Guess which was published this week, following months of romance rumours.

    One of the promotional pictures showcased the 25-year-old’s jaw-dropping abs in white boxers and a denim jacket, while another featured him in a white Guess Jeans t-shirt alongside another glimpse of his underwear.

    Previously, he had posted stunning snaps to Instagram of him showing off Calvin Klein underwear.

    Alexander-Arnold, who earned his first England cap in 2018, will expect to add to his current tally of 25 during Euro 2024, where he will wear the No. 8 shirt.

    Jack Grealish

    Man City and England icon Jack Grealish slurred ‘what a time to be alive’ as he filmed himself partying in his pants during Harry Maguire’s wedding in 2022.

    Grealish was seen dancing in a pair of bright white boxers to Jay Sean’s 2009 hit ‘Down’ in a clip posted to Snapchat.

    The winger has become one of the country’s most recognisable athletes, and has built a reputation for partying hard, and playing well, representing his country from 2020 onwards.

    However, struggles with form at club level in the 2023-24 season mean that he was left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad for this year’s tournament.

    Chloe Kelly

    It’s not just the men either – Lioness Chloe Kelly starred in a Calvin Klein advertising campaign ahead of last summer’s Women’s World Cup.

    Along with US football icon Alex Morgan, the Man City star featured in black and white images for the underwear designer’s ‘Calvins or nothing’ campaign, which aimed to celebrate ‘athleticism and strength’.

    Kelly wrote her name into English football history when she scored the winning goal in the Women’s Euros final at Wembley in the summer of 2022.

    She made her national team debut in 2018, and will be hoping to help England qualify for the European Championships next summer so that the Lionesses can defend their title in Switzerland.

    Declan Rice

    Declan Rice made his England debut in 2019, and has made over 50 appearances for the Three Lions over the past five years.

    While he was on the books at West Ham, the club’s Instagram account caught the midfielder in his Umbro underpants, and shared it for the world to see.

    His big summer move across London to Arsenal last year took him into the title race and Champions League football, and he will be donning the No 4 shirt for England during this summer’s Euros in Germany.

    Marcus Rashford

    Marcus Rashford has been one of Man United’s shining lights over the past decade, and it has led him to earn 60 England caps since 2016.

    However, he will not be part of the Euro 2024 squad, having been omitted from Southgate’s squad for the tournament in Germany.

    An intimate snap of the forward shared on Instagram showed him topless and showing off the top of his Calvin Klein underwear.

    Raheem Sterling

    Raheem Sterling, 29, has only ever starred at the top of English club football, with spells at Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, joining the latter in 2022.

    He also earned 82 caps with England between 2012 and 2022, but has not featured for Southgate’s side since then, and will also be missing from the Euros.

    One well-timed photograph captured the winger wearing his Puma pants underneath his jersey and shorts.

    Frank Lampard

    Sometimes football players show off their pants as part of a promotional deal, and sometimes it’s just an accidental part of being constantly photographed playing the game.

    For Frank Lampard, back when he was playing for West Ham, it was next level exposure.

    A tug from Man United opponent Nicky Butt left his bright white underpants widely exposed whilst battling for the ball at Old Trafford.

    Lampard moved from West Ham to Chelsea in 2001, and became a club legend in 13 years at Stamford Bridge.

    He also earned 106 England caps between 1999 and 2014, scoring 24 goals for the national team.

    Gary Lineker

    Gary Lineker was an icon as an international player, scoring 48 goals in 80 England appearances from 1984 to 1992, and while his career took him to Barcelona, Spurs and Nagoya Grampus in Japan, his youth team of Leicester City held his heart.

    As a presenter, Lineker has shown himself off to new audiences, in more ways than one, after vowing to present BBC’s ‘Match of the Day’ in his underwear if the Foxes won the Premier League.

    Leicester City did the unthinkable that season, and did seize the top-flight trophy from the usual suspects, leaving the ex-England striker to present the show in his underwear as promised.
