It’s been five months since their lavish wedding in April, and while their honeymoon period continues, the relationship between Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham and his parents, Victoria and David Beckham, has never seemed worse. Last week, in an interview with Grazia USA, Nicola broke her silence on the feud, putting straight the rumours that she had declined Victoria’s offer to design her wedding dress. Nicola said she had spoken to Victoria about making the gown, but then said, “days went by and I didn’t hear anything.” She added, “Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn’t make it.” Brooklyn too spoke out in the interview, saying, “My wife is obviously my first priority and I never want to see her upset ever. We have each other’s back 100…

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine landed in hot water last week when numerous women came forward and accused him of being unfaithful. The singer, 43, has been married to Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo for eight years, with the couple – who are already parents to Dusty Rose, five, and Gio Grace, four – expecting their third child together. But eyebrows were raise over Adam’s loyalty when model Sumner Stroh, 23, claimed on TikTok that they’d had a yearlong affair. In the viral video, Sumner also shared screenshots of messages alleged to be from Adam, which included, “It is truly unreal how f*cking hot you are. Like it blows my mind.” While she failed to disclose when the alleged affair took place, she claimed that the Payphone hitmaker had reached…

He’s been open about wanting to find love ever since he split with long-term, on-off girlfriend Gemma Collins for good in July 2020. And it’s now emerged that James “Arg” Argent is dating 18-year-old Italian actress Stella Turian. The former TOWIE star is said to be “smitten” with his new love interest, whom he met at a friend’s wedding in Mykonos in June. A source revealed, “James and Stella are in love, they fell for each other the moment they met and have spent as much time together as possible since. This is a big deal for James – he hasn’t been in a relationship for years because he’s been working on himself. Now, finally, he’s ready to share his life with someone. Loved-up Arg – who, at 34, is…

She’s one of Loose Women’s most-loved panellists, and her ability to share the good, bad and ugly have made her a huge hit with viewers over the past two decades. So it’s no surprise that the menopause is one topic Nadia Sawalha, 57, hasn’t shied away from. The mum-of-two previously revealed how the change made her irrational and would cause her to fly into rages at home. Luckily however, she tells Closer in an exclusive interview, that HRT [hormonal replacement therapy] has been “lifechanging” for her mental health, and she hasn’t looked back since starting it. Nadia says, “At times I’ve been really annoyed at myself for being ignorant about what’s going on in my body. I had very dark feelings and terrible brain fog. I used to stand in…

OLIVIA: ‘I’m not where I want to be – but I’m taking it easy’ She welcomed her first child, a baby boy, Abel, with husband Alex in June. And Olivia Bowen looked happy and healthy during a recent sun-soaked getaway to Mykonos – the couple’s first holiday as a family of three. The Love Island favourites shared glimpses of their idyllic trip on Instagram and Olivia, 28, exuded body confidence as she lounged around the pool in a gorgeous bikini. It looked as though the power couple had a memorable time as they lapped up the sunshine, enjoyed local delicacies, and explored Mykonos town, while little Abel seemed totally content to feature in their sunny snaps. Sharing a beaming photo with his son, Alex, 31, sweetly referred to him as…

Both of my lads are active teens, so I was convinced neither of them would ever consider smoking or vaping. I was therefore shocked to discover that my youngest had used e-cigarettes while socialising. It led me to look into the prevalence of teen vaping. RECOGNISE THE EXTENT OF IT A recent study found that a staggering 18 per cent of teens regularly vape, and, after a quick scan of TikTok, I was horrified to discover endless videos of teens vaping and “vaping artists”. Teens have always been impressionable, as their brains haven’t finished developing and they are trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in. Certain behaviours provide a type of social currency, which is why kids still do things even though they know we…

They’ve been married for six years but Rebekah and Jamie Vardy faced the ultimate test when the infamous Wagatha Christie libel case went to trial and proceedings dredged up shocking secrets and jaw-dropping scandals this summer. And the stress increased for the couple when the July verdict resulted in Becky losing her case, being branded a liar, and having to cough up millions of pounds in legal fees. During the trial and afterwards, Jamie – who shares three children with Becky: Sofia, seven, five-year-old Finlay and Olivia, one – stood firmly by his wife’s side. While his decision not to testify was met with claims that he was “too scared”, Becky responded to speculation by saying, “This wasn’t his battle, it was mine.” FALLOUT Despite once being a star player…

She welcomed her second child – a son – via surrogate over the summer. And now Khloé Kardashian has given fans an intimate insight into the birth in the opening episode of the new Kardashians series. Khloé, 38, was seen beaming as she held the newborn in her arms alongside her ex – and the baby’s father – Tristan Thompson in an LA hospital. This is their second child, with Khloé giving birth to daughter True, four, in 2018. The trailer also revealed that Khloé had chosen her big sister Kim, 41, to be in the delivery room with her instead of Tristan, following the drama that has shrouded her relationship with him. Rumours of infidelity first swirled back in 2017 when it explosively emerged that Tristan had cheated with…

Nadia’s BFF Kaye Adams is set to compete in this year’s Strictly, and Nadia says, “I’ve known Kaye for 25 years and no matter what the situation is, she has never got up to dance. She genuinely can’t dance, but we’ve since spotted potential in her because [fellow co-star] Judi [Love] taught her how to upside down twerk. So I believe that inside of her is an absolute dancing goddess just waiting to get out.” When asked if she’d ever do the show, Nadia says, “No way – I’d never be able to remember the steps. I was asked to do it a long time ago, but I was very body dysmorphic back then and thought I was too fat. Plus, I don’t like going out much. I went to…

ON MAFS – “The UK reaction to MAFS was crazy. Duncan from Blue is a fan. Holly Willoughby told me our series was her favourite ever and she fell in love with our story.” ON CAMERON – “One thing we do is share our diaries because you need to have that time with each other. It sounds a bit naff, but even just having a really nice hug every day keeps that closeness. We have a lot of fun together and laugh a lot, which I think is the key to any great relationship.” ON MOTHERHOOD – “I remember breastfeeding Ollie, bawling my eyes out and saying to Cam, ‘nothing gets done’. It’s adapting to that new way of life and being like ‘it doesn’t matter if your house is…

YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND FAMILY LIFE WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY The average Brit spends two and a half hours a day on social media, which I find terrifying as it means that many of us are living our lives online, as opposed to in the real world. Studies suggest that spending even an hour a day on social media increases your risk of suffering from anxiety or depression. Put simply, the time you spend scrolling is time you lose doing things that genuinely have the power to improve your life. In fact, a new study has found that when people spent 30 minutes less on social media daily and instead engaged in physical activity, they were happier, more satisfied, less stressed and less depressed – and these…

TV STAR JAY BLADES, 46, ON HOW HE LOOKS AFTER HIS BODY AND MIND MY DAY STARTS WITH A BIG GLASS OF WATER… I get up at 6am and do about 100 push-ups. If I’m in a hotel with a pool, I’ll swim before breakfast. I TAKE LOTS OF SUPPLEMENTS… Vitamin D, a multivitamin, apple cider vinegar and vitamin B12. When I’m at home, I drink a juice made with banana, walnuts, pecan nuts, dates, peanut butter, oat milk and protein powder. It’s delicious. MY ENERGY LEVELS ARE INSANE… Even I don’t know how I do it. I was talking to a friend about it and he said, “It’s because you’re excited about life and the opportunities that are going to come your way.” IF I FEEL LOW, I HAVE…

SWITCH SHAMPOOS Use a clarifying shampoo and hair rinse such as OGX APPLE CIDER VINEGAR £7.99 and NOUGHTY DETOX DYNAMO CLARIFYING SHAMPOO £7.99 – removing the mineral deposits and product build-up allows the blonde to look its brightest.

This technique is known as face-framing – and it’s making a serious comeback. INTRODUCE A TONER Use a purple toning shampoo once or twice a week. Leave it on for two or three minutes depending on how much toning is required. The purple hues help to remove the brassiness, making the blonde so much more vibrant. You’ll notice a difference instantly – and…

Appearing puffy-eyed and looking exhausted as she read the news headlines on This Morning last week, the effect of the past two weeks on Holly Willoughby was evident. Earlier this month, she was TV’s ultimate golden girl, but following an enormous backlash from viewers over what has now been dubbed “queue-gate”, sources say the morale among both Holly, 41, and her on-screen partner and best friend Phillip Schofield, 60, is “at rock bottom”. The source says, “Both Holly and Phil have been totally dumbstruck at how events have unfolded and they worry how they will recover. “It’s never been so bad. The fallout from ‘queue-gate’ has only heightened ongoing concerns and reports that Holly and Phil’s time may be drawing to an end on This Morning.” And according to the…

It has been the toughest year of her life, one she said has been full of “pain, heartache and lessons”. But Lauren Goodger seems to be bouncing back. Last week, the former TOWIE star shared highlights from her first personal training session in two years on Instagram, revealing that as well as the start of her fitness journey, it’s also a “new road to recovery”. And Lauren, 36, also treated herself to some “self-love” last month, telling her almost one million followers that she’d had lip fillers, Botox, and rhinoplasty. HEALING “It’s been two years since I’ve had work on my face. I had two babies back-to-back and a lot of heartache, pain and traumas, but I am finding me again,” she wrote. And an insider tells Closer that Lauren…

When Abigail Solieri’s eldest daughter, Arianna, started complaining of backache in June 2021, she put it down to the new bed and mattress she’d recently bought. However, when the pain returned five months later, things escalated dramatically. After pushing doctors for answers, it was discovered Arianna had neuroblastoma – an aggressive form of childhood cancer that affects around 100 children a year. Now, 10 months on, Arianna, is still fighting for her life and has a difficult road ahead, seeking a trial vaccine in the US, which costs £350,000. Abigail, 34, who lives in Herefordshire with her husband, Chris, and four daughters, Arianna, six, Mya, three, Zara, two, and six-month old Raya, says, “It’s been an unbelievably challenging year and it all happened so fast. It’s scary how your life…

‘BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU DO’ Her successful career as an actress has earned her global recognition, and she boasts an incredible 16 awards to her name – including an Oscar, a Golden Globe and an Emmy. But in 2017, Gwyneth announced that she would be stepping away from her day job so that she could focus on Goop, her modern lifestyle brand, which she launched in 2008. Two years later, she announced, “I’ve had a lot of good luck with a lot of hard work, which led to a really good film career. At a certain point, I felt like it wasn’t what I wanted to do.” And earlier this year, Gwyneth reiterated, “I really love what I do now. I love how immediate it is and how we’re able…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPICS OF THE WEEK This research found that people who drink a lot of artificially sweetened drinks have a higher risk of stroke and heart disease. It isn’t telling us anything new, we’ve read this every year for years, but it’s a useful reminder of why sweeteners have their own problems. DON’T MAKE IT A HABIT Researchers classed a high consumer as having 77.6mg of artificial sweeteners a day. The average diet fizzy drink contains 140mg – twice as much as that – so you’d only need to be drinking half a diet fizzy drink a day to up your risk of stroke and heart disease – but that’s every single day continuously for years. Having a diet fizzy here and…

Every time I say I’m done with dating, the romantic buried deep inside me says never to give up. While recently I may have felt numb, I have been trying (and with it failing) to find love. First up was a set up – a friend-of-a-friend scenario, he was lovely in a lot of ways but not my Prince. What struck me was his insistence on the type of first date we had. I suggested a coffee and he was adamant he wanted alcohol. I was of course happy to oblige and go with his request, he had a few pints while I sipped on a lemonade. I would have preferred a coffee, but it didn’t bother me, a date is a date to me. However, the next date I…
