Their 2018 wedding was viewed by millions around the world, but now, five years on, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's fairy tale is rumoured to be heading towards a shock split. The couple have allegedly been leading increasingly separate lives since January, but over the last couple of weeks, reports have surfaced that Harry, 38, has taken to staying in hotel rooms in order to give himself space from wife Meghan, 41. Now a source tells Closer that despite the backlash from his memoir, Spare, and his feud with the royals still rumbling on, Harry may have found an unlikely confidante in his sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who is said to have reached out to Harry amidst his struggles. The insider says, “Kate usually turns her head away from any malicious…

While they are currently living over 3,000 miles apart and in different time zones, it's clear that after nearly 15 years of marriage, Coleen and Wayne Rooney have entered the best chapter yet in their love story. In March, Coleen, 37, flew out from the family's home in Cheshire to spend a romantic date weekend with husband Wayne, 37, who is currently managing US football club D.C United in Washington. “Had the best time visiting @ waynerooney” Coleen posted alongside snaps of the pair looking happy and smitten.

ELLA: ‘Michael B Jordan is my celeb crush’ Aclaim to fame, no matter how tenuous, appears to always be a prerequisite for the Love Island contestants - think Marcel Sommerville and Blazin’ Squad. This summer's hopeful model, Ella Thomas, ticks that box perfectly having briefly worked with superstar Brad Pitt on the set of World War Z. Ambitious Ella, 24, has high hopes that her stint on the dating show will open even more doors in Hollywood and dreams of working with another A-lister, saying, “I'd love to do some more acting in the future - I would love to work with someone like Viola Davis”. As well as developing her career, Ella - who lives in Glasgow - is looking for “Mr Right” not “Mr Right Now'” after a…

They were first linked just weeks ago, but things are already getting serious between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy. According to an insider, the frontman of The 1975 is already telling pals how he wants to settle down and have children with Taylor. But the global megastar, 33, is apparently seeing her new relationship as more of a fling following the separation from her partner of six years, Joe Alwyn. “Matty's telling the world this is the real deal - they're building a long-term future, and marriage and kids are his goal, assuming it all works out,” a source tells Closer. “Meanwhile, Taylor's friends are under the impression that it's a rebound with potential for something more - but certainly not this ‘together forever’ hype that Matty is spinning.” While…

While she's over the moon at the prospect of welcoming her first child, Laura Anderson's happiness is being tainted - by her ex, Gary Lucy. In an interview last week, the former Love Island star, 34, revealed that the Hollyoaks actor, 41, is unsure about whether to be present at the birth of their baby. “He's currently in two minds, so I've asked my mum as well, as you are allowed two birthing partners,” Laura, who is 27 weeks pregnant, admitted. “There are a lot of emotions going around for everyone, so it's difficult. Being civil from now until the birth and then after is the goal.” After meeting on Celebs Go Dating last summer, the couple announced in February that they were expecting their baby, before splitting shortly afterwards.…

Former Saturdays singer Una Healy, 41, recently spoke out about her non-monogamous relationship with former boxer David Haye, 42, who was also dating model Sian Osborne, 35. While she originally accepted that she was sharing David, even going on holiday with him and Sian to Morocco, she called time on the short-lived relationship, saying it wasn't for her. She said, “I am a monogamous person. Hopefully one day I will settle down again with a nice monogamous man.” A recent study of more than 2,000 people showed that almost one in three Brits now say they don't believe in monogamy and 21 per cent would consider an open relationship. Nearly one in four said they'd consider a polyamorous relationship with multiple partners. Relationship counsellor Rhian Kivits has seen a rise…

with two Olympic gold medals under her belt, Helen Glover is one of Britain's greatest-ever rowers. But the mum of three -who is married to wildlife presenter Steve Backshall - has another passion. She's a huge believer in the benefits of getting outdoors, and is often seen embarking on al fresco adventures with her children, Logan, four, and twins Kit and Willow, three. “It's so important to get outdoors every day,” says Helen, who grew up in Cornwall. “When I think back to my own childhood, almost every memory I have is outside - those are the moments that are really meaningful. Experiencing the outdoor world developed so much of my character, and it definitely played a part in my success. It helped me develop not just physical strength, but…

FAMILY MATTERS SUPPORT YOUR OVERWEIGHT CHILD One in 10 children in the UK is obese by the age of five, rising to a quarter by 11. Emma reveals how to handle weight worries Feeling comfortable in your own skin will help you get the best from life, but there can be downsides.

This is counterintuitive because, in truth, children are…

G ET CHEAPER FLIGHTS Checking price comparison websites like Skyscanner and Kayak can help you find the cheapest day to fly (Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often the best bet), but have you heard of “error fares”? “Websites like Secretflying.com and Fly4free.com have very cheap deals including error fares’, where an airline puts the decimal point in the wrong place, or makes some other mistake that suddenly puts incredibly cheap flights online,” explains Financial expert Jasmine Birtles. “If you can pick them up before the airline realises, you will snap up a serious bargain.” Mercedes Zach, travel expert at Asaptickets, recommends being flexible when booking too, “If a direct flight is too expensive, look into connecting flights.” Stopovers can be as short as one or two hours, but could save you hundreds.…

NEWS Last week, Phillip Schofield spoke out for the first time about his affair with a much younger colleague, and apologised to Iris former lover and to his ex co-host and friend Holly Willoughby. He went on to deny grooming the unnamed colleague and revealed that he was “utterly broken and ashamed”. As Closer went to press, Holly - who was last week pictured in Portugal on holiday with her family - had not commented on the interview. Just eight months ago, Phillip and Holly supported each other as best friends while the drama of “queue gate” unravelled - the accusations against the co-stars leading to over 75,000 fans signing a petition to get them booted off This Morning. And while the TV stars were able to turn that public…

NEWS When Leicester City won the Premier League against the odds back in 2016, the club's goalscoring hero Jamie Vardy became one of the nation's most popular footballers, which in turn saw his wife Becky become a household name. But fast forward seven years and there were tears last week in the Vardy household as Leicester were relegated on the last day of the football season, leaving the family's future in doubt. “Jamie was devastated when Leicester went down,” Closer's insider explains. “He wanted to see out his career there but now he's not sure. He'll be 37 in January and thought he had at least one, maybe two, seasons left in him. But he may have to take a big pay cut if he stays with them or hope…

She revealed last week how she's desperate to become a grandma despite Kerry Katonas admission that none of her five children are “close” to becoming parents. The 42-year-old - who was 20 when she fell pregnant with her eldest daughter, Molly, 21, who she shares alongside Lilly-Sue, 20, with ex, Brian McFadden said, “ I would love to be one [a grandma]. None of my kids are even close to having babies.” Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry - who's also mum to Heidi, 16, Max, 15, and nine-year-old DJ - added, “Heidi always says she wants to be a mum one day, but she has a fear of pregnancy - it freaks her out. I think Max will make me a grandma first, but that's a long time off.” Last…

She's been unlucky in love in the past, but now it seems that Jennifer Aniston has her own personal cupid to lean on - Barbra Streisand. According to pals, the Hollywood legend has taken the Friends actress, 54, under her wing in an attempt to find her a new man - even asking husband, James Brolin, to line up potential suitors. The unlikely pairing first came into contact 13 years ago, after Jennifer emulated Barbra's style in a photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar. “I think she did a wonderful job - if only she had a bump on her nose!” Barbra, 81, told fans at the time, while also adding that Jen is a “delightful person”. And so while Jennifer has a good relationship with both her ex-husbands - maintaining…

The actress and model, 32, is co-parenting daughters Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and her twoyear-old son, Charlie, with Scott, 34.

I stayed in London and saw my friends, really let my hair down - it's an excuse to get…

Their love story began eight years ago and now Olivia Attwood is preparing to take the plunge and tie the knot with her footballer beau Bradley Dack - but she certainly wasn't going to leave her unmarried life behind without a party! The Love Island star, 32, jetted off to Ibiza last week with a group of her closest friends to celebrate her upcoming nuptials. But breaking away from the tradition where the hen wears white, Olivia instead opted for a funeralthemed bash. Dressed in a sheer, black lace dress with a long train, Olivia told her two million Instagram followers that she was “saying goodbye to single life”. Olivia and footballer Bradley, 29, met in a London nightclub and began dating in 2015, before their romance fizzled out and…

Marketing manager Sara Elsam, 33, who lives in Newtown, Wales, reveals the downside to open relationships. She says, “I can completely understand why Una Healy has decided to stick with monogamy. I've now been with one partner for nearly a year. No one else is involved and I've never been happier. “There was a time when I thought polyamory was the answer, but I was wrong. I worry that now it's ‘fashionable’, people will dive into it not realising how tough it can be. FREEDOM “I first tried polyamory in my early 20s when I was living in Brighton. I'd just split from my boyfriend of two years, my parents had had an ugly divorce and I felt monogamy didn't work. I had a primary relationship and we decided to…

Nothing says summer more than enjoying our meals outdoors. In a recent survey, a massive 47 per cent of us said we enjoy al fresco dining more than ever before, regard less of the British weather. In fact, more than half of us said we're still happy to eat outside even if the sun's not shining.

Studies show that eating as a family can mean a more nutritious diet, better heart…

Does anyone actually want anything serious? I ask because it feels as if there's a consensus among single people now not to commit. For a lot of us, it's been so hard to find a relationship that I think we're turned off by the idea of actually being with someone long term. I speak for myself here, but it's been so long without a relationship while being in the constant pursuit of one that I'm not really sure I even want it now. After all, how can I aim for something when I don't really know what it is or what it feels like? This could be selfpreservation, but I don't think I'm alone in my thinking. In the pub (where I do all of my thorough dating investigations, ahem),…

PUT THE PLUG IN! “When running a bath, it's tempting to allow the hot tap to run until warm, and then add cold water. Simply reverse the procedure and pop in the plug, allowing the cool water to build the base of your bath. The hot water will soon run, saving you litres of wasted water.” SORT LEAKY TAPS “A tap that drips for a week can fill a bath, so stop putting it on your to do list - get your leaky taps fixed and cut your water bills!” SLOW THE FLOW “Turning the taps down to reduce the water pressure while you lather up your hair or soap yourself can save 680 litres of water per month. Additionally, turning off the tap when brushing your teeth saves a…

o ooking around her kitchen, Alyson Blush already had a kettle, toaster and even a gravy boat, so when it came to wedding gifts, she and her partner Terry didn't know what to ask their guests for. They had everything they needed, except for one thing - a baby. Alyson, 29, had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and was told she'd struggle to conceive, so she and her partner, Terry, 45, started saving up for IVF - and when they sent out invites for their wedding day, they bravely decided to ask their guests to help them with the steep £10,000 fee. But incredibly, Alyson, a marketing student, ended up falling pregnant naturally. She says, “I feel like I've won the lottery. In my baby girl, all of my dreams have come…

How did you come to be cast in Best Interests? I was in the middle of filming Bad Sisters which was a 10-month, extremely gruelling schedule. I didn't want to start something else as soon as it finished but my agent said it was Jack [Thorne], someone I've been wanting to work with for a while. I shouldn't have agreed to do it because I was battered [from doing Bad Sisters], but I did, and then it was kind of an amazing experience. You're incredibly busy, why did you want to do this? Like they always say, that if you could imagine someone else doing it, and you're OK with that, then just let it go. I wasn't OK with someone else doing it. Sometimes entertainment can feel a bit…
