Wow, Lee, that’s incredible news, one user wrote. Congratulations to everyone involved. Another remarked, “Such a lovely, sweet picture, and I’m thrilled to see you both getting a new baby this year.”

Lee and his wife described their son as a “dreamboat” after his birth in 2021, sharing details of how traumatic he was. He’s a little dreamboat and really cute, Kelly once said.

Speaking to OK! shortly after, the couple explained why Leo arrived by C-section, with Lee describing the birth as “traumatic”. The baby was in a breech position and Kerry was suffering with pre-eclampsia.

Despite the scheduled procedure, complications arose because the initial anesthesia didn’t seem to work. Submitted by Kerry to OK! “I had a 36-week scan, and they discovered that he was breech.”

“He was in a really weird position. They did say I could have him naturally, but the safest way is a C-section. And then on top of that I had pre-eclampsia, so there were all sorts of medical issues going on.”

She then described the moment she first saw her son, “They slightly lowered the curtains so I could see him being lifted out,” which was remarkable. I ran into this tiny oblivious.

Since 2007, Lee and Kerry-Lucy have been dating. Lee and Kerry went through a period of resentment toward their friends who were expecting or already having children after a miscarriage, before giving birth to Leo.

Speaking to Daily Mail, Lee said: “We’ve wanted a baby for so long. We did start thinking, ‘Why isn’t this working for us? What’s wrong with us?’ You doubt each other slightly, but luckily we have a very strong relationship.

“We once had some resentment toward our friends who were pregnant, and we were always passing them with prams, which I know we shouldn’t have. Both challenging and frustrating.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner put on very loved-up display on lavish Christmas break

Following the conclusion of her Radical Optimism Tour in Mexico, Dua Lipa has been enjoying some downtime with her fiance, Callum Turner.

Dua Lipa, the pop star, and Callum Turner, his fiancé, have been having a lavish holiday. Following the conclusion of her Radical Optimism Tour in Mexico, the couple made the most of their time and enjoyed a blissful beach break.

The 29-year-old singer, who has been touring extensively and has spent years in the studio, looked as though she was a beach goddess as she lounged in the sunshine in a tiny silver bikini, showcasing her toned figure. As Dua padded across the sand and before settling down on a sun lounger with 34-year-old Callum, she appeared content and carefree.

As he took a break from his phone to spend quality time with Dua, the Fantastic Beasts actor kept things casual in a T-shirt and swim shorts. At one point, Dua and Dua were spotted snuggling up next to each other’s loungers, sharing a tender moment as they leaped in and comforted each other.

The pop star, who just wrapped up the most recent leg of her world tour, wow fans night after night with high-energy performances and daring fashion choices, welcomes a pause with the holiday. Friends have previously claimed that the singer has been “on cloud nine” lately, juggling a busy career and a happy personal life.

Trump’s bizarre Santa Claus comments cause backlash on social media

Donald Trump’s messages to people this Christmas have left them perplexed, from his phone calls about Santa infiltrating the US on Christmas Eve to his rant about “the Radical Left Scum.”

Although giving Christmas greetings to politicians is not unusual, Donald Trump’s recent speech about Father Christmas has undoubtedly raised some eyebrows.

The North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) used the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) to track Old Saint Nick’s progress on Christmas Eve by answering phone calls from children eagerly awaiting his arrival.

However, Trump instead harked back to the 2020 presidential election, an event that remains contentious among MAGA supporters, some of whom still mistakenly believe that victory was “stolen” from former President Joe Biden, instead of focusing on the children’s Christmas wishes or whether they had left a carrot out for Rudolph.

Indeed, things grew so heated that a group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 to demand that Congress not count the Electoral College votes and declare Biden’s victory official.

Five years later, it seems as though the 79-year-old’s mind is still weighing heavily on his mind, even after his subsequent re-election.

Trump, who lost Pennsylvania in the 2020 election, made the unsupported boast that Pennsylvania is “great.” Speaking with a five-year-old from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump, who lost Pennsylvania, made the statement. Actually, we won Pennsylvania three times.

The businessman-turned-politician then made another reference to 2020 when another young child was talking about the NORAD Santa tracker. He said, “We follow Santa.” We want to make sure Santa behaves properly. We want to make sure he isn’t a bad Santa and that our country isn’t a bad one. Like I do, Santa loves Oklahoma. You’re right, I had a great election experience with Oklahoma.

Those tuning into the broadcast didn’t exactly find these exchanges heartwarming, taking to social media to share their thoughts on this “cringe” interaction. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one person commented: “Trump is incapable of acting decently, even when speaking to a child…about Santa.”

Another person tweeted, “Always veers toward himself. Even attempts to outdo Santa Claus”! He is destroying Christmas spirit, according to a third author. Where are the “War on Christmas” soldiers currently located? Trump has previously irritated audiences with his Santa Claus discussions.

The president rang a seven-year-old named Coleman in the middle of his first year in the Oval Office to ask, “Are you still a believer in Santa Claus?” He then stated, “Because at 7 it’s marginal, right”?

Trump’s Christmas Eve phone calls weren’t particularly cheerful, but his Christmas Day message also struck a particularly off-key note, criticizing those who he views as “the Radical Left Scum.” Merry Christmas to all, even the Radical Left Scum, who is attempting to destroy our nation but are failing badly, tweeted the official Trump X account.

Adam Peaty’s modest childhood vs Holly Ramsay’s world of luxury as wedding ban goes ahead

After having both traveled very different paths to get where they are right now, Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay will tie the knot this weekend in a lavish ceremony held at the magnificent Bath Abbey.

As their two drastically different worlds collide, swimmers Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay will perform “I do” at Bath Abbey this weekend.

Adam, the 30-year-old son of a Lidl caretaker and nursery manager, struggled financially as a child, with his family even cutting off holidays to compete in international competitions. As a result of these sacrifices, Adam became known as a swimmer with the most swimming prowess in history and won an Olympic gold medal for the first time.

It may be difficult to relate to 25-year-old Holly’s childhood memories of hand-me-downs and neighbors barging together for gas. Model and influencer Holly, the daughter of renowned chef Gordon Ramsay and estimated to be worth £ 152 million, has raised in a lavish family.

Unfortunately, the rift between these two extraordinarily distant families has become even more acute as a result of this Christmas wedding preparations. When Caroline Peaty, 60, her mother, who is now a millionaire, wasn’t invited to Holly’s swan hen do, people initially thought she might have “might have stuck out a little” among the wealthy and famous guests.

It’s now understood that Caroline has been barred from the big day altogether, with Adam’s sister Caroline being the only Peaty family member in attendance. Here, the Mirror takes a look at Holly and Adam’s polar opposite backgrounds.

Olympic swimmer Adam was born in Staffordshire’s market town of Uttoxeter to nursery manager Caroline and her ex-boyfriend Mark, the youngest of four siblings. Adam had previously discussed his working-class background and the sacrifices his mother had made to help him realize his ambitions in happier times.

Despite holding down a full-time job, she would get up at 4 am every day to drive him to training sessions. The family sacrificed holidays due to their tight financial situation, reports the Mirror. Caroline’s maiden flight was to the Rio Olympics to support her son. “My mum worked on the other side of Stoke, and I trained in Derby. That is a big journey,” Adam previously told the Guardian.

My mother would take me to the pool in Derby at 4:30 am and I would wake up at 4:30 am. God knows, she would drive me home for 50 minutes, wait for me for two hours, then work the rest of the day until 5 p.m., and then work until 5 p.m. Then, after two more hours of waiting, I’ll go back to Derby and pick me up. She wouldn’t arrive home until 8 or 10 pm.

Caroline did some unwell things at once. They were forced to rely on the generosity of friends and family to support Adam in his pursuit of his sport because their finances were tight. She once told the Daily Mail, “He almost gave up swimming because he had enough.” It was very difficult to get him to the early morning sessions because I was a bit ill for a while.

“When he started doing all his national competitions, the petrol costs were really high. Our street all clubbed together, and we used to hold barbecues or Christmas parties. Our neighbours, Angela and Keith, used to organise a raffle and everyone would donate prizes. All the money raised went towards Adam’s swimming. We didn’t have a holiday for four or five years, but everyone was brilliant.”

Despite their financial difficulties, Adam’s family always showed him love and proudly displayed his medals on the curtain pole until they were no longer able to bear them. Because of how little work she did and how tightly the colors fit, his cherished grandma, a former worker at a biscuit factory, was the only one he could rely on to wash his GB kit.

Adam remained a member of the family until his adult years as a result of his move to Loughborough, where he continued to train. He met Eirianedd Munro’s girlfriend at the university there.

George and the couple welcomed their son in 2020, but they split up shortly after. Adam has previously discussed the difficulties of coming from a less wealthy background, and is now rumored to be worth between £ 1 million and £ 4 million. If you don’t come from a wealthy family or a family that has an active sport, you’re going to be severely disadvantaged, he once said.

You face “people with money who can afford physio or therapists,” as an amateur, and these kids arrive with all the equipment. Not everyone has the same rights. But if anything, it strengthened my resolve to maximize what I already had and provide 100% of training.

He addressed the subject of his open-minded interview with the Guardian and how his working-class roots helped him succeed. He said, “I have been driven by suffering since I was a child. Although I am a working-class person, there are millions of other people working in this country.

They cannot afford luxury items because they live paycheck to paycheck. You had to fight for what you had because I had two brothers and one sister and because I was the youngest, so I always had hand-me-downs. But doing so makes you appreciate what you do. I now respect everything, including my home, with all that I have. I can feed my family and enjoy the luxuries if I need them, thanks to my roof.

I want to be the best role model for George to show him that if you want something, you can get it by working hard as a father. Never believe anything will be given to you, and don’t be lazy.

“That’s my upbringing in a nutshell,” I said. Because my parents did a lot for me and gave me so much, I don’t want to sound harsh toward them because I’m fortunate, but there were many more who had spurred me on.

The Ramsay family’s six-year-old son, Gordon and wife Tana, raised a family of six surrounded by unimaginable wealth, so money issues weren’t a problem. The children split their time between a £6.9 million Bel Air mansion, a £7 million Victorian property in London, and a £7.5 million seaside retreat in Cornwall’s most exclusive corner, where they rubbed shoulders with the Beckhams.

Jack, 25, acknowledged in Channel 4’s Born Famous documentary that he would be lost without his privileged lifestyle and was given a £10, 000 Rolex by his father for his 18th birthday. He admitted, “I have lived in a bubble all my life.” Never have I had to fight or defend myself. Without everything I have, I have no idea what I’m like.

Holly was seen accompanying her father to Elton John’s exclusive Oscars viewing party in 2017 and is a frequent attendee at VIP Formula 1 events. They were raised with Gordon’s sister, Yvonne, acting as their nanny, who moved in when the eldest children were young, along with her then 10-year-old daughter, Sophie.

Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz’s relationship heats up with major Christmas decision

Since their romantic union in August of 2024, Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz have been together for a holiday in Cheshire, which has heightened engagement rumors.

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz have made a huge decision as their relationship heats up. The superstar couple spent Christmas Day together with Harry’s family in Cheshire this week.

According to sources, the duo were first spotted on Boxing Day at Rugby Services — en route back to Harry’s Hampstead pad — when they stopped off for snacks during their journey. Onlookers said the pair went largely unrecognised by fellow travellers, dressed casually and blending in.

The pair picked up snacks for the journey without being noticed by other customers, according to a source who spoke exclusively to the Mirror. They could have been any young couples visiting their families because their attire was so casual.

After a festive break with Harry’s mother, Anne Twist, and the family’s home in Cheshire, the sources claim they arrived at the services in Harry’s Audi before continuing their journey south. Although neither of the stars has directly addressed the holiday on their official social media accounts, photos and short clips from fans and paparazzi have been posted online combining them on recent outings in Europe.

The couple hasn’t shared formal Instagram or X, formerly known as Twitter, declarations about their Christmas together, but their fans have been piecing together sightings from recent weeks. Over the past month, Harry and Zoë have appeared in low-key outings across Europe — including Rome and Berlin, where they were photographed enjoying strolls and meals together.

In a recent photo, Zo was seen wearing what some observers had suggested resembled a gold band on her ring finger while the couple was visiting Rome, which heightened engagement rumors. The pair reportedly met through mutual friends and interconnected over common creative interests, according to reports.

Their romance first caught fire in August of that year when they were spotted together in Rome and later spotted holding hands during a trip to London. Since then, the pair have frequently been seen in public, standing arm in hand and walking in cities like Rome and New York.

Friends of the couple confirmed earlier this year that Zoe and Harry had lunch with Lenny Kravitz, her father, in New York, a sure sign that their relationship is beginning to take a serious footnote. According to People, Lanny enjoyed getting to know Harry and praised him for being kind and sincere.

Harry and Zo aren’t bothered by the high level of online activity, neither of them have publicly confirmed their relationship on Instagram, X, or another social media platform. Their fan-shared clips and appearances together have been the most authentic representations of their time together, in contrast.

The pair’s relationship deepened over the course of the fall, according to sources close to them, leading to extended travel together across Europe. Dinners, strolls through major cities, and low-key family engagements have been on the itinerary for their trips.

Before forming a connection with Harry, 36-year-old Zo Kravitz had a number of famous relationships. She started dating actor Channing Tatum in 2021 after her marriage to Karl Glusman, which ended in 2021. After three years of dating, they decided against getting married in October 2024. At the time, Kravitz referred to the split as being amicable, while later praising Tatum and their time together.

Prior to Harry, she had dated actors Penn Badgley (2011–2013) and Ezra Miller, and she has previously been linked to other Hollywood names. However, prior to Harry, she had a relationship with Tatum that was her most frequently discussed subject.

Harry Styles, 31, has likewise been no stranger to high-profile romances. Before his current link with Zoë, he was most recently in a relationship with actress Taylor Russell, which lasted until May 2024. Other notable relationships include those with Olivia Wilde, Kendall Jenner, Camille Rowe and Taylor Swift, among others, spanning over a decade of media interest.

Styles, the Stones frontman-turned-global-pop superstar, has maintained a relatively private nature of his recent romantic relationships, appearing in public with partners but sparingly sharing details with social media.

All eyes will be on what 2026 holds now, including Harry’s upcoming album release and Zo’s next acting roles, with Christmas now behind them and reports suggesting the couple are more serious than ever.

The Mirror have contacted Harry and Zoe’s representatives for comment.

Adam Peaty wedding LIVE: Holly Ramsay prepares as swimmer’s mum’s heartbreak laid bare

Hours away from getting married, Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty. Following a widespread backlash, Gordon Ramsay’s daughter and the Olympian’s relationship have come to prominence.

On December 27th, the couple will tie the knot at Bath Abbey, a renowned landmark. Following Adam’s disagreement with his family, which caused his relatives to be dramatically uninvited, the upcoming ceremony has been drenched in drama.

However, Caroline, Adam’s heartbroken mother, had originally planned to ‘gatecrash’ the big day despite Adam and Holly allegedly putting in round-the-clock security to prevent the couple from taking pictures with the couple. Caroline has now decided to abstain because attending would “upset” her.

Bath Abbey is reportedly “ban the public.”

Locals have labeled Adam and Holly as “selfish.” The wedding venue has been kept closed to the public the entire day despite having a 90-minute wedding day planned. On the day, visitors will be prevented from entering or traveling close to the venue. The Bath Abbey website states that visitors are “closed for visiting” on December 27.

The cost of hiring a wedding venue is estimated to be around £2,500, but Adam and Holly claim to have spent significantly more to have the venue to themselves for the duration of the day. When your wedding service only lasts an hour and a half, “having the abbey for the entire day seems a bit selfish,” a source told The Sun.

Additionally, the publication claims that Holly and Adam will be subject to a security team’s request to be photographed or recorded.

On Saturday (Tom Wren / SWNS), the couple will wed at Bath Abbey.

Before a wedding, Holly wears all white.

Just before her wedding, Holly Ramsay was spotted.

On Boxing Day, Holly was seen already opting for white as she left her father Gordon’s home in London. The bride wore a long white winter coat over a black top and trousers as she made her way towards the car.

Gordon was also seen heading to the car with Tana as they drove away from the family’s mansion in South London. Holly’s sister Tilly, who appeared on the same series of Strictly Come Dancing as groom Adam Peaty, was snapped getting into a Porsche.

Before her wedding, Holly was seen leaving her father’s house.

Mother’s heartbreaking realization

This weekend, Caroline Peaty reportedly planned to appear at Bath Abbey. However, reports claim that she has now made a decision against it.
