They secretly eloped to Las Vegas to say “I do” in a no-frills wedding – almost 20 years after callingoff their £1.5m star-studded nuptials when their romance faltered in the glare of the spotlight. Jennifer Lopez, 52, and Ben Affleck, 49 – nicknamed “Bennifer” during their high-profile romance in the early noughties – got hitched in a £50 ceremony at Sin City’s Little White Wedding Chapel without an A-lister in sight as Jen revealed how they patiently waited in line behind four other couples before reciting their vows. Announcing their happy news to her 218m Instagram followers, the singer – who shares 14-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband, Marc Anthony, 53 – gushed, “Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in Las…

Stacey Solomon looked like she was walking on air at her dream wedding with new hubby Joe Swash in the grounds of the couple’s family home, Pickle Cottage. After admitting she was taking time off social media to “soak it all in,” the star shared a series of gorgeous pics of the newlyweds. Stacey, 32, was pictured holding hands with EastEnders actor Joe, as they both beamed at each other. the Loose Woman panellist wrote, “Me and My Husband. I don’t think I will ever get used to saying that. It all feels like a dream,” adding, “The most special day that we didn’t ever want to end.” She then shared a sweet quote by children’s author Dr. Seuss, reading “you know you’re in love when you don’t want to…

CURTIS PRITCHARD THE LOVE ISLAND 2019 STAR, 26, SHARES HIS OPINIONS AND HIS LIFE… ‘Davide is Ekin-Su’s knight in shining armour’ It’s such a unique world when you’re in the villa. You have no worries, no bills – no nothing! And when you come back out to the real world, simple things can really throw the couples. So when it comes to predicting who will stay together, it’s a tricky one. I think Paige and Adam will last about four months. Adam can be a bit of a player, although it seems like he’s calmed down a bit. I love Paige to bits – she’s lovely. But if Jacques is waiting for her, then something could happen there. Tasha and Andrew may have talked marriage but I don’t think their…

Nail bars, car washes, building sites and cleaning companies are just some of the common places where modern slaves may be hidden in plain sight. Call the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700 or submit a report online (modernslaveryhelpline.org). Call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

EMBRACE AGEING – I love my fifties, I never thought I would. I remember Ru telling me that 50 is where your life begins. It’s true! I’m embracing ageing as much as I can. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF – I do workouts with a personal trainer, even on FaceTime if I’m travelling around the world. I started lifting weights recently, and I try to eat very clean. Lots of veg and anti-inflammatory foods. RECLAIM YOURSELF – Your fifties are a beautiful time for you to reclaim who you are. Do something you’ve always wanted to do. Don’t let the menopause stop you, because it really is a b**ch!…

She’s wowed us on the Strictly dance floor, and reported from the frontline in Iraq, but over the last few years Kate Silverton, 51, has stepped away from TV presenting to focus on children’s mental health. She’s now training to become a child therapist and her parenting guide, There’s No Such Thing as ‘Naughty’, became an instant bestseller last year. But while she may have faced fire on the frontline, Kate – mum to Clemency, 10, and Wilbur, eight – admits that parenting is no mean feat itself. “Parenting is genuinely hard, especially if…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPICS OF THE WEEK It’s a very sensible idea to put defibrillators in every school, not because lots of children will need them, but because it should help normalise using them. Right now, stick one in front of a child – or even an adult – and they’ll feel quite intimidated. You may have seen one on TV, but you probably wouldn’t know what to do with one. Children collapsing with heart problems is thankfully incredibly rare, but it’s good to teach kids first aid, so the very odd time where something does occur, they’re set up and ready to go. UNDERSTAND WHAT’S HAPPENING The government has said it will fund this after a 10-year campaign by the parents of Oliver…

If you ask my kids what rattles my cage, they will tell you that it is dishonesty. I have brought them up knowing that they will rarely get in trouble for telling the truth, but there will always be consequences if they lie. Researchers suggest that people lie twice a day, but for the most part these are not lies that are told to deceive, they are usually protective – you tell your mum you like her new hairstyle, say. Another is a lie by omission, when you bite your tongue because you worry about the consequences of being truthful. THINK ABOUT THE IMPACT Many of us skirt around the truth to keep the peace. On the surface this may work, but beneath it resentment may be simmering, which can…

It’s been over two years since they broke free to live a life of independence and financial freedom in the states, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have had a turbulent and often bitter relationship with the royal family ever since. But to the surprise of many, they’ve reportedly had their second invitation in a year from the Queen to visit her at Balmoral. Last week, insiders at the seven-bedroom Scottish lodge used by the Queen for her holidays, and thought to be her favourite retreat – revealed that the monarch, 96, wants Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, to spend time at the royal residence over the summer. A source says, “Staff have been told to expect the full list of royals, including Harry, Meghan and their children Archie and…

❛SHE FEELS THE MARRIAGE IS BEING JUDGED, WHICH IS WHY SHE GOES THE EXTRA MILE❜ Walking armin-arm and clutching healthy-looking smoothies as they smiled lovingly at each other, Jacqueline Jossa and her husband Dan Osborne appeared happier than ever in May as they were photographed hitting the gym together. Their loved-up display came just two years after the former EastEnders actress, 29, who married ex-TOWIE star Dan, 31, in 2017, said she “couldn’t be in the same house as him” during lockdown and was forced to temporarily move out of their family home and seek therapy. Now, friends tell Closer that although their joint workouts have played a huge part in enabling the couple to spend more time together and rebuild their relationship, they are now causing issues. And while…

She’s been enjoying a tour of France and Italy in the family’s £5million luxury yacht – and last week, Victoria Beckham showed off her slender body in a red bikini as she and husband David were seen relaxing on deck in Corsica. Her holiday in the sun came just weeks after the fashion designer described the desire to be very thin as an “old-fashioned attitude”. “I think women today want to look healthy and curvy. They want to have some boobs – and a bum,” she said while promoting her new VB Body range, which is aimed at “curvy women”. However, the mum-of-four, 48, has since come under fire from fans for using a young, slim model to promote the high-end line. And now insiders tell Closer that Victoria herself…

I love being busy. Me and AJ are setting up our YouTube channel, I’m working with charity app WeAre8, and there’s a TV programme coming soon. Oh, and I’m doing pantomime this Christmas! But when you come off Love Island, you really need to step back. The show is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – or for Adam, twice. I won’t be doing it again but I would love to present. I think the next presenter should be male, just to change it up. If the opportunity arose, I would love it.…

Emily Atack has been spotted out and about with new beau, former Big Brother contestant Liam McGough. The pair went for a swanky meal at a posh London restaurant before they were seen giggling in a taxi together. Liam, 37, rose to fame in 2007 after finishing third in BB, before waving goodbye to celeb life and setting up his own business as a tree surgeon. Sources close to Emily say she’s super happy with her new man, saying, “Things are going well.” The Celebrity Juice star, 32, has previously been linked to Harry Styles, Strictly’s Seann Walsh, and last year was rumoured to have enjoyed secret dates with 26-year-old footballer Jack Grealish while he was on a break from his childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood. And having previously said in…

She’s been open about her fertility struggles, but just as Selling Sunset’s Heather Rae Young was about to embark on IVF with husband Tarek El Moussa, the pair discovered she was already pregnant. And last week the couple hosted a gender reveal party at their LA home, where Heather, 34, and real estate investor Tarek, 40 – who she married last year – and his two children, Taylor, 11 and Brayden, six, shot blue confetti canons into the air to announce that they’re expecting a baby boy. Attendees of the bash, who included Heather’s co-stars Emma Hernan and Mary Fitzgerald, were delighted by the news and erupted into cheers of delight.…

She’s rumoured to be engaged to partner Jeremy Parisi and planning a lavish ceremony in Italy this summer to tie the knot, but while she remains tight-lipped about her suspected nuptials, Kelly Brook doesn’t shy away from gushing over her French-Italian boyfriend. The former glamour model met the judo instructor in 2015 after “slipping into his DMs” on social media, and after several high-profile relationships with exes, including Hollywood actors Jason Statham and Billy Zane, the star admits meeting Jeremy, 37, has helped her feel truly secure. “I have to say, everything has kind of worked out in the end for me,” Kelly, 42, beams as she speaks to Closer. “Meeting Jeremy really helped my life in so many ways. He’s very calm and settled and he made the ultimate…

• Chef Olia says, “There is something comforting about this version of Greek salad.

During Love Island last summer one of the couples agreed to be “exclusive”, which was celebrated by their fellow islanders, but not by my then-colleagues. While we were catching up on the latest episode, a married colleague appeared confused – in his view, people were either together and faithful to each other or not together. The end. As the token single in the group I was tasked with trying to explain this minefield that not even I really understand. Somewhere in the last few years the “casual relationship” or “situationship” has become a thing. A trend for something that’s more that just f*** buddies but less than a fully committed relationship. Confused? Me too. Dating apps have facilitated a freer approach to relationships – there’s an implication of endless choice,…

We all have a few things we could use less to save a few bob, and while we’re not going to forgo boiling the kettle or popping bread in the toaster, we could rethink these electrical items… MINI FRIDGES They are handy when you have a summer party, but at £3 a month to run, it would be cheaper to put bottles of wine and beer in a bucket full of ice. FANS When temperatures soared to 40°C, lots of us used fans, but leaving them blowing all night every night and they will cost £2.70 a month. Arguably, they just blow warm air around, so instead, close your curtains during the day so the sun doesn’t heat your room, have a shower before bed, and air dry rather than…

While she may have spent last week celebrating alongside husband Wayne, Coleen Rooney is already facing secret heartache as she prepares to spend weeks apart from her husband. After months of waiting, the verdict in her libel case with Rebekah Vardy was finally announced last week. Coleen was victorious with Judge Justice Steyn concluding that the original social media post from the 36 year old, which accused Becky of leaking stories to the press was “substantially true”. In a statement released to the press, Coleen said she was “pleased” with the ruling but was keen to point out she had never wanted to go to court. EXPENSE “It was not a case I ever sought or wanted,” she stated. “I never believed it should have gone to court at such…

❛SHE’S ALWAYS BEING CONSIDERED FOR NEW SHOWS❜ She’s been the golden girl of daytime TV for 13 years since joining This Morning back in 2009. And over the last decade, Holly Willoughby has expanded her empire, landing ambassador deals and sponsorships, as well as publishing over 15 books and launching her own wellness brand, Wylde Moon, last year. With an estimated net worth of £10m and an annual salary of £600K for presenting the ITV show alone, Holly, 41, has fast become one of the most in-demand faces on television, and it’s largely thought that any project she touches will turn to gold when it comes to pulling in the viewers. So it’s little surprise that, while she takes her summer holidays away from the show to spend time with…

Gazing at her growing baby bump in the mirror is nothing new for Rachel Parker, 34. After having her first child 17 years ago, she’s spent almost two decades surrounded by nappies, bottles and kids’ toys after giving birth to nine children, all of whom are boys. But now, her pregnancy is extra exciting, because Rachel is expecting a much-longed-for baby girl. Rachel from Leicestershire, says, “We found out I was pregnant on Mother’s Day and it was such a wonderful gift. Of course, I adore my boys, and I’m so lucky to have them, but I’ve always wanted a girl, too. I’ve bought lots of cute dresses and pink stuff. The boys are thrilled to be getting a sister – she’ll have nine super-protective big brothers when she arrives.”…

Two little girls smile, arms around each other, proudly wearing their red Manchester United shirts. The picture of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, then aged 10, should have captured a happy memory on a summer’s day on 4 August 2002. Instead, it would be the last photograph ever taken of the best friends – and one that would end up on the front page of every newspaper. This week marks 20 years since the girls were murdered by evil school caretaker Ian Huntley, but the image of the two smiling girls is one that few will forget. As Kevin Wells, Holly’s father, said, “Time doesn’t heal, someone got that wrong. It anaesthetises. Grief does not diminish, but you can manage the intensity and learn to live with it.” On that…

Mo Farah shocked fans last month when he revealed that he’d been trafficked as a child into the UK and kept as a domestic slave. The celebrated Olympian had kept his secret for almost three decades – previously saying that he came to the UK from Somalia with his parents as a refugee. But in a BBC documentary, The Real Mo Farah, Mo revealed that his real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin. His parents have never been to the UK, and he was flown over from Somalia aged nine by a stranger, and made to look after another family’s children. He said, “For years I just kept blocking it out… but you can only block it out for so long.” Shockingly, Mo’s experience is not unique. Worldwide it’s believed that…

She’s the fiercely confident, vivacious TV personality who rose to fame on RuPaul’s Drag Race. But Michelle Visage says she couldn’t have achieved all she has without her “soulmate” David Case by her side. Michelle and David share daughters Lillie, 22, and Lola, 20, and celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in June. She says, “I surprised him with a day at a spa and we had facials, massages and sat by the pool sipping lovely drinks and enjoying each other’s company. He is a wonderful man. And handsome. I like to think I did well! “I do believe the secret is having time to ourselves and not becoming too codependent.” Michelle, 53, rose to fame in the US as part of girl band Seduction, before moving into the TV and…

For most women, Tommy wouldn’t be an ideal date. He doesn’t speak much, he’ll never offer to pay the bill and sometimes he drools over his food. But despite Tommy being a rather unusual dinner guest, for Helen Hallford, he’s the perfect companion – as well as being her five-year-old pet dog. Helen, 53, from Warwickshire, says, “I love going out with Tommy. He’s great company and my absolute favourite date. Strangers always want to pet him, so it means I get to meet lots of people – he makes everyone smile. My life wouldn’t be the same without him.” Helen welcomed Tommy – a Chihuahua-Chinese crested cross – into her life in May 2017, when he was just eight weeks old. Though the runt of the litter, Helen was…

While most women fear the ageing process, Kelly says she loves everything about her forties. “I love getting older,” she says. “I find it so comforting to stop worrying about everything I used to. I’ve embraced it now. Of course, I do want to look younger and I have lots of nice beauty treatments, but I like that I’m all natural and I haven’t had any surgery. I’ll stay out in the sun for around half an hour, otherwise I avoid it and wear plenty of sunscreen. In terms of how I feel on the inside, I have less time to waste these days. I’m honest with people, I’m ruthless with who I spend time with and for the first time – I’m not frightened to say no!”…

YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND FAMILY LIFE WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY Technology has fast-tracked us into an era where, for many, the separation between work and home life has dissolved. Although there are benefits to technology, there are drawbacks, and a big one involves never having unadulterated downtime.

Set an out-of-office email that states your working hours. This will reassure you that people who try to contact you after hours will know not to expect a reply immediately. It also reinforces that you are entitled to free time. If you use public transport to commute, treat the…

Can they impress Gregg and John (Torode)? FACTFILE Coming up over the next few weeks are the likes of…

As health and safety violations go, this is right up there, Bella, as you play with ACTUAL MOLTEN GLASS while wearing a vest and shorts! Poor Geri keeps wondering why the “islands” in her private lake keep moving about. She thinks it’s something to do with plate tectonics. Bless. No, you’re right, Rylan. Apparently, it’s down to the lack of wasps. The flies now consider themselves the baddest buzzies on the block. Oh Katy, find out where we can get one as we’ve a “friend” who’d love one. They also want an auto-locking biscuit/salty snack cupboard… Sharon was interested to discover that one of the Covid vaccines contains a modified chimp virus. But when she asked Ozzy how he felt about it, he just scratched his bum and shrieked. Coincidence?…
