Ruth Langsford has been married to Eamonn Holmes since 2010 but while she does admit to split concerns, him swapping her for a younger model doesn’t appear to be one of them!

Ruth Langsford isn’t fussed about the thought of Eamonn Holmes dating a younger women if they were to ever split – but she couldn’t stomach him seeing someone her age.

Of course, they remain one of the strongest couples in showbiz but the TV pair often wonder what life would be like if things did take a turn for the worst. Ruth has shared her fears on Loose Women – and she doesn’t seem concerned about the idea of him swapping her for a younger model.

While some of the panellists expressed their doom at the thought of their partners cheating with someone half their age, Ruth offered a different perspective as the 64-year-old discussed their relationship. She said: “See I think, people go, ‘Oh, you’d hate it if you were dumped for a younger woman’.

“I go, ‘No, I would hate it because…’ then I could do the whole cliché thing, ‘Oh, Eamonn is such a cliche, he’s going with a 25-year-old, how sad.’ But then I think ‘No, the worst thing for me is if he went off with someone the same age’. I think that is harder than being dumped for someone younger. That’s my worst fear.”

But she has split fears – and it’s nothing to do with him finding a younger women (

Her co-star Linda Robson was quick to tell her: “That’s not going to happen.” Ruth replied to the Birds of the Feather star: “Well, hopefully not,” Ruth responded, crossing her fingers. Brenda Edwards then shared her view, adding: “Well, apart from my ex-husband who was like four or five years older than me, everyone else I’ve dated has been younger, but not more than five years.”

The couple first met in 1997 when their mutual friend, TV presenter Sally Meen, introduced them in London, while Eamonn was a GMTV host. Just two years prior, Eamonn had split from his first wife, Gabrielle Holmes, who is the mother of his three eldest children, Declan, Rebecca and Niall.

In 2010, Eamonn made a rather impromptu proposal in an unusual manner after spotting some men flirting with Ruth at Cheltenham Races. “We were at the races in a box with some people and I’d had a few drinks and had won a bit on the horses and was having a lovely time,” explained Ruth on Loose Women in 2018.

“Eamonn had gone out to the loo and when he came back, there were men in the box with us flirting and chatting to me, and he said: ‘I don’t like that, them flirting with my wife.’ And then he went: ‘Actually, she’s not my wife. She should be my wife.’ We had been together 14 years by then. ‘Why is she not my wife? Why haven’t I done this?’”

Recently, David Beckham posted on his personal page a photo of him walking alone outside his 6.7 million euro apartment in the Cotswolds (UK).

This time, the former British football player chose for himself a beret, blue sweater and pants made of corduroy (a type of velvet fabric).

“Another day, another picnic and another hat,” David wrote in the description. The style of the father of four now looks completely different from his last appearance.

Many people believe that the former British football player mentioned the details of the hat because he wanted to respond to his wife Victoria’s criticism.

Late last month, the 46-year-old fashion designer commented that the hat David chose to take on a picnic looked “like it had been run over”.

But perhaps with this new look, Victoria will no longer criticize her husband.

“He looks so great”, “So handsome”, were compliments given to David by fans. Currently, this post has received nearly 2 million likes and nearly 100 thousand comments.

Except for eldest son Brooklyn, who is in the US, the remaining members of David Beckham’s family have moved to the Cotswolds during the self-isolation period. According to The Sun, the former England team is planning to build more gates and bunkers to ensure safety. This intention faced opposition from surrounding neighbors because it was “unfeasible compared to a idyllic countryside like the Cotswolds”. After all, the Becks family is still allowed by the government.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly had a secret UK home worth £2.5m, with the couple residing in this lavish farmhouse while Frogmore Cottage was renovated for them

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a home in the United Kingdom which was worth £2.5m – but the couple had to give it up, reports suggest.

According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a two-year lease on a property in the Cotswolds. Harry and Meghan are believed to have signed the lease shortly before they walked down the aisle in May 2018.

After the Sussexes got wed, the couple moved into Frogmore Cottage after renovating the property in Windsor. But while the Sussexes waited for renovations to be carried out and completed, they are said to have resided in the Oxfordshire property, which was estimated to be worth more than £2.5m in 2018.

The Sussexes stepped back from their senior roles as working royals in 2020 (

The Grade II-listed house comprises of three primary structures, with those being the main farmhouse, a separate two-bedroom cottage for staff and guests, and a converted barn that boasts not one but two kitchens, one on each of its two floors. Meanwhile, the main farmhouse consists of four bedrooms.

A friend of the couple previously said that the Sussexes “loved walking the dogs there and entertaining their friends in complete solitude” at the Oxfordshire home, with them reported to have entertained the likes of George and Amal Clooney while residing there.

Prince Harry and Meghan were evicted from Frogmore Cottage last summer. The pair departed their Windsor home and England as a whole in 2020 when they stepped down from their senior roles as working royals and moved across the pond to America.

Harry wrote in his memoir of Frogmore: “Once upon a time, this was going to be my forever home. Instead, it had proved to be just another brief stop.”

Following the publication of his bombshell memoir, the Sussexes were told to depart the cottage for good – meaning they would no longer have any residence in the UK. At the time, a representative confirmed: “We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage.”

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror earlier this year, royal biographer Tom Quinn said: “Harry was absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore he felt his father had no right to do it and that it was purely vindictive.

“Harry couldn’t see that choosing to stop being a working royal would inevitably mean being deprived of his royal residence.”

“It’s nice to meet you, my friend. Finally, it’s Antoine Griezmann,” David Beckham wrote on his Instagram social media timeline with a heart symbol, April 27.

This message excited the fans of Inter Miami Club , with many deducing the possibility that the former British player is convincing the French striker to join his team from this summer.

Antoine Griezmann is the World Cup champion with the French team in 2018, runner-up at the 2022 World Cup. He is playing for Atletico Madrid Club in La Liga (Spain) with a contract valid until June 2026.

This 33-year-old French striker has not yet decided whether to renew or not, but has expressed his intention to go to MLS ( USA) to play when his career in Europe ends.

Therefore, the unexpected meeting between Mr. David Beckham and Antoine Griezmann attracted a lot of attention from the American press.

“I wonder what “representative” David Beckham will cook this time? The president of Inter Miami Club always has a plan every time he meets star players, he once met Messi at PSG,

and then we already know what happened. David Beckham also had an intimate meeting with Neymar recently and now Antoine Griezmann. Will they go to Inter Miami in the near future to work side by side with Messi and Suarez? Inter Miami News Hub on social network X (old Twitter) expressed.

According to the American press, David Beckham is playing a huge role in the development of MLS and American football, including creating the “designated player” slot, also known as the “Beckham Rule”. Accordingly, this rule gives MLS clubs the right to recruit up to 3 designated players with salaries and transfer fees exceeding the limits imposed by the tournament.

The system was introduced in 2007, with David Beckham becoming the first designated player in MLS when he joined LA Galaxy the same year. So was called the “Beckham Rule”.

“This rule will likely be expanded further, giving MLS clubs the right to recruit more designated players such as Antoine Griezmann or Neymar, thereby increasing the strength and competition of the tournament. Here, striker Olivier Giroud joining Los Angeles FC will start this trend from this summer,” AS newspaper (Spain) said.

Now, in a bid to end rift rumours between the bride and her in-laws, Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are hosting an Easter peace summit at her family’s £76million Palm Beach mansion.

On Thursday, parents David and Victoria were spotted soaking up the sun on their £5million family yacht ahead of the first wedding anniversary of their eldest son.

The Beckhams will be hosted by Nicola’s billionaire businessman dad Nelson Peltz and mum Claudia for a special dinner at the Florida beachside estate.

An insider said: “The couple have spent the last few days in Tokyo but wanted to gather both families in Palm Beach for a low-key Easter Sunday dinner to commemorate their first year as a married couple.

But let’s hope the family has employed caterers after wannabe chef Brooklyn recently came under fire from fans for putting a wine cork in his Bolognese sauce.

Brooklyn, who had his pet dog Peanut in a sling, was mocked on Instagram for his recipe with one follower commenting: “There’s a cork in your pot… and dog hair about to join.”

He later shared a screenshot of a cooking tip, insisting that research has suggested adding a cork can make a dish “more tender”.

Stacey Solomon was left fuming as she shared the rude nickname that her husband Joe Swash has for her on her new Channel 4 show, Stacey Solomon’s Renovation Rescues

Stacey Solomon revealed her husband’s cheeky nickname for her on her latest Channel 4 television gig, Stacey Solomon’s Renovation Rescues.

The multi-talented star had been happily showcasing her impressive DIY skills to her Instagram followers ever since they became proud owners of Pickle Cottage in March 2021. Her blossoming passion for organisation and creativity has attracted a slew of TV offers. Following the popular show Sort Your Life Out, she has now bravely taken centre stage – hosting her own home-makeover programme for Channel 4

The revelation about Joe’s rather insulting sobriquet came about during filming at their beloved Pickle Cottage. Joe casually appeared on the scene, along with their adorable trio of kiddiwinks. The 34-year-old Loose Women panellist was chatting to the cameras about dreams of converting their garage into a personal fitness space.

With understandable worries about losing his precious fishing gear storage, Joe popped in to get an idea about her renovation plans. The lively conversation veered towards sharing the space, when Stacey explained her idea of creating a partition wall that would respect their separate interests.

However, the former EastEnders actor didn’t exactly share her enthusiasm about the space-sharing agreement; leading Stacey to hilariously reveal to the crew that “Joe call’s me Donald Trump because he says I’m forever building walls.”

Meanwhile, according to the Daily Star, tears were shed as the bubbly Essex girl guided emotional homeowners Caroline and Erik through a stressful renovation process in Enfield. The hapless couple had hoped to transform their humble bungalow into a dream home but wept over some expensive setbacks.

The couple were considering re-mortgaging their house and borrowing money from family to complete the project, until their saviour Stacey arrived with some cost-saving ideas.

Stacey, a mother of five, was hands-on as she assisted them in panelling a feature wall and secret door, saving them from spending £6,000 on bi-fold doors. She also persuaded them to retain light-restoring windows in the hallway to keep it bright, which saved even more money.

Caroline and Erik, who had been brought to tears at the beginning of the programme, were left beaming by the end. They had initially been quoted £65,000 to finish the rebuild, but ended up coming in £5,000 under budget thanks to Stacey’s assistance.

Meghan Markle facing shocking claims about secret daughter

Conspiracy theories about famous personalities are nothing new. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have also experienced this multiple times. According to one rumor, the former royal’s wife allegedly had a daughter years ago.

Conspiracy theories in the showbiz world are nothing new. For years, it’s been rumored that Elvis is hiding from the world and that Avril Lavigne died and was replaced by a double named Melissa. Similar and often exceptionally absurd speculations also revolve around members of the British royal family.

Does Meghan Markle have an adult daughter? A shocking theory circulates online

As it turns out, this also involves former royals. Various surprising theories have already reached the media, but if this were true, it would probably be the biggest scandal in British monarchy history. There are speculations circulating online that Meghan Markle had a now-adult daughter years ago, to whom she gave the name Sarah.

According to the media, 21-year-old Sarah allegedly gave shocking testimony in court concerning her (supposed) mother. She claims that Meghan neglected her and emotionally abused her and that before marrying Harry, she wanted to reach a financial settlement with her. All, of course, to keep the matter under wraps because supposedly no one knew about Markle’s “secret daughter,” including Prince Harry. British media report this matter.

In her lawsuit, Sarah allegedly focused on the financial aspect. However, it is unclear whether any agreement was ever reached between her and Meghan or what the woman’s specific claims are. So far, neither the royals nor the former royals have commented on this matter, which is perhaps not surprising.

Can such reports be believed?

Despite spending the initial 11 years of his professional career at Old Trafford, Beckham, a key figure in the ‘Class of 92,’ has ventured beyond, playing for Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, and AC Milan.

Even after retiring in 2013, he continues to be a legendary figure at Manchester United.

As the co-owner of MLS club Inter Miami, David Beckham was previously linked to a board-level position at Manchester United during discussions of a potential purchase

by Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim from the Glazer family.

Reports suggested that Beckham was offered an ‘International Ambassador’ role had Jassim’s bid succeeded.

However, with Brit billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe nearing a £1.3 billion deal for a 25% stake in United, Beckham withdrew from negotiations.

There are now indications that Beckham might explore a minority stake in another Premier League team, with Brentford being suggested as a potential option, per The Star.

David Beckham’s son, Romeo, is part of the Brentford academy after joining earlier this summer from Inter Miami’s own youth academy.

There could be something in these rumours given that Beckham’s son is on the books at Brentford, and given the team’s progression it would be a wise move to invest into what is clearly a successful model.

Sceptics have had their thoughts about Alison Hammond’s new age-gap romance with Russian hunk David Putman, but the couple have received Denise Welch’s approval

Alison Hammond’s love life is being scrutinised and judged, prompting Denise Welch to speak out in her favour this week on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Loose Women panellist took to the social media platform on Wednesday, responding to concerns from Alison’s close circle, members of which believe she could be set for another heartbreak by giving David Putman a chance, due to their 20-year age gap.

One of them notably expressed worry to The Daily Mail, suggesting: “You could say she is fairly vulnerable when looking for love. Those who are close to her fear that she will be taken advantage of.”

They continued: “Obviously alarm bells go off when there’s a 20-year age gap, whether that’s when the man or woman is younger and there is someone involved who is rich. It is surely natural that there would be some concern.” But the couple deemed controversial has received support from Denise Welch.

Responding to the worries over Alison’s personal life, Denise – who shares a 14-year difference with her own husband half Lincoln Townley whom she wed in 2013 in Portugal – penned a warm message of encouragement for the This Morning host and her new beau: “It could also work out brilliantly well and be the best thing that ever happened to her!!! Fabulous woman and deserves everything.”

Although she enjoys huge success at the helm of some popular programs on the box, from This Morning to For the Love of Dogs, Alison Hammond has embarked in a number of ill-fated romances off-screen. After welcoming her son Aiden, 18, she notably called off her engagement with the lad’s father, cab driver Noureddine Boufaied, but the pair are said to remain fond of one another.

Alison later explained why she never walked down the aisle, admitting that she didn’t like feeling “tied down”, saying: “I think as soon as I hear the word marriage I get like cold feet. I think I’m just one of those people. (…) I just feel like I’m tied down and I don’t like it, when really and truly, I’m getting to that age now where I just think ‘Alison, let go – it’s okay to settle down’.”

After years of living as a free agent, Alison met Ben Hawkins when she hired him to tend to her garden in the West Midlands. The pair are said to have kept their relationship a secret from the public for several months before eventually making it public and rumours of an engagement quickly emerged – but the romance hit the rocks.

While some may be worried about Alison’s new skinny-dipping beau and his motives, David’s pals have all publicly sang his praises. “David is a very quiet, unassuming and thoughtful person who likes to play the guitar. He’s the strong, silent type, not a pushover, but not chatty like Alison”, one source claimed.

“In that sense they’re perfect for each other and to David, age is just a number. He’s not bothered by fame, he probably didn’t even know who Alison was when they first met.” The insider added: “Alison has never been happier. She has had a turbulent love-life, but is finally confident she has found a trusted companion.”

The stars truly aligned at Wimbledon over the first three days of play, as famous faces including David Beckham, Kate Middleton, and Katy Perry were among those to take in the action at the All England Club.

After opening her fortnight with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Poland’s Magdalena Frech, 2022 finalist Jabeur met with Beckham,

who was spotted in the Royal Box on Centre Court Wednesday to watch World No.1 Iga Swiatek win her second-round match.

The pair exchanged a handshake, a hug and pleasantries — a moment that Jabeur called “inspiring” in its aftermath.

Olympic gold medalist Lindsay Vonn was also on the grounds at SW19, rubbing shoulders with Roger Federer, Iga Swiatek, Li Na, and Frances Tiafoe.

A day earlier, the Princess of Wales was also in the Royal Box to watch Jabeur’s conqueror in the that final, Elena Rybakina, beat Shelby Rogers in her first round.

But first, the patron of the All England Club headed to Court 18 to cheer on British No. 1 Katie Boulter in her match against Daria Saville.

Seated next to British pro Laura Robson for the first set, she even took the inclement weather that later washed out all outer-court play on Tuesday in stride.

Rounding out the famous faces at Wimbledon over first-round play was the Grammy award-winning Perry, who was spotted rubbing elbows with first-time Wimbledon participant Peyton Stearns.

In an Instagram story debuting the selfie, the American quipped about the on-and-off state of play Wednesday, as rain continued, to the tune of one of Perry’s biggest hits.

“Hot n cold weather,” she joked.
