Billie Piper has reportedly rekindled her romance with her ex-boyfriend, Johnny Lloyd, with the two seen packing on the PDA at a Notting Hill pub. According to reports, the duo, who share a seven-year-old daughter named Tallulah, were seen smooching at a small gig on Thursday evening.

When Billie and Johnny first became partners in 2016, they welcomed a daughter named Tallulah in 2018, which Billie was said to be thrilled about at the time. After Tallulah arrived, a source said, “Billie will be so happy she’s had a girl.” She occasionally experiences a “men’s sexiness” with her two sons, a boyfriend, and two ex-husbands.

Billie confirmed her split from the Tribes frontman at the beginning of last year. Although she declined to provide specifics about their relationship, she claimed that her daughter’s father is a “very good man.”

In the interview, she declined to provide any further information about their romance. And now that their romance has come back after a while, it seems as though they may have split up.

The pair were allegedly “all over each other” while their daughter and a member of the family watched a country music performance at a Notting Hill venue. Before adding: “Billie beamed as their daughter Tallulah sat on her lap,” the source claimed that the two “looked really cute together.”

The source told The Sun that Billy rested her elbow on Johnny’s shoulder while the band played country music covers and they all appeared content.

The Mirror have reached out to the representatives of Billie and Johnny for comment.

In a North London pub earlier this year, Johnny claimed to have first met Billie on sight when they first met. It was a significant romance, he claimed to the Evening Standard. When you meet someone like that, you are shocked. I wanted to be with this. She motivates me every day.

He praised his then-girlfriend, saying, “I cannot stress enough how talented I think she is. I was a little lost before, but seeing what she can accomplish in a day, the number of meetings she attends, and how she moves her life forward motivates me to work harder.” She goes out and gets things instead of waiting and seeing what happens. She is so successful because of this.

For one of the covers for his solo album, the musician posed with her in their bed as she was expecting. In an old interview, he described how the idea came to fruition.

On Sunday, he explained, “We were lying in bed. I promised to shoot my album’s cover against my favorite tree in Regent’s Park, Bill informed him. That’s the worst idea she’s ever heard, she claimed.

Let’s shoot that because she said the album is about my life. I called my friend, who is a fantastic photographer, who showed up in less than 20 minutes, took three frames of the photo with a Polaroid, and the result was perfect.

Debts: If Nigeria Does Not Borrow, The Economy Will Collapse – Orji Kalu

Senator Orji Kalu has defended the government’s borrowings and warned that the nation’s economy could collapse without external funding in light of worries about the country’s rising debt load.

The senator addressed criticism of the National Assembly’s role in approving executive loan requests on Monday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“Let me tell you, this country will collapse if it doesn’t borrow.” That is accurate. The former Abia State Governor stated that this is where we are.

Kalu pressed on whether legislators properly scrutinized loan applications, insisting that the oversight procedure is still in place.

“Of course.” They are subject to scrutiny by the Committee on Foreign Debt and Local Debt. That committee does not include me. Most of these tasks are performed on committee levels. The National Assembly did a good job, he said, adding that.

Not a Rubber Stamp, please.

Nigeria fully repaid the $3.4 billion IMF loan it received during the COVID-19 crisis in April 2025. The nation will continue to be subject to Special Drawing Rights (SDR) fees associated with the facility, which are estimated to be around $30 million annually.

Despite this, Nigeria plans to borrow an additional $ 26 billion between 2025 and 2026 to close the country’s deficits and fuel economic growth, a move that many Nigerians have criticized as a “rubber stamp” the National Assembly.

The former Senate Chief Whip, however, has refrained from criticizing and argued that all laws are adhered to in accordance with the law.

He claimed that “any law or legislation you see passed in the National Assembly has passed the standards set forth. I’m satisfied once it has a course. That is what lawmaking entails.

Kalu refrained from claiming that lawmakers were abusing their legal authority and cited the tax bill’s recent passage as evidence of Senate vigor.

“We’re very thorough,” he says. People only want to see us and the executive engaged. We are mature. We can’t fight. We have safeguards in place to protect that in Nigeria’s best interests.

I went to the Senate President’s house to congratulate him the day the tax bill was passed. It was done thoroughly. We took it one by one the evenings we were there, at seven and six. He continued, “A rubber stamp doesn’t do that,”

Nigerians are still suffering, though.

Senator Kalu also addressed the economic hardship that Nigerians have experienced since the naira’s flotation and the end of the fuel subsidy in 2023.

He acknowledged President Bola Tinubu’s reform initiatives, but he also acknowledged that the effects had not yet reached the populace.

The “macro side” is coming, but the “other downsides” are not very well-developed. Lower-ranking Nigerians are still suffering. According to Kalu, they have not yet begun to benefit from the modifications that President Tinubu is making.

He attributed the country’s persistent insecurity, which has hampered farming and other productive activities, to the slow pace of economic recovery.

Sinner Crushes Rublev To Reach Roland Garros Last Eight

As Jannik Sinner cruised to a stunning victory over Andrey Rublev in the French Open last 16 on Monday, he sent a warning to his French Open title rivals.

Russian 17th seed Rublev appeared to be a challenging challenge for Sinner, but the world no. 1 fought it out to win 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 on Court Philippe Chatrier.

“Things can go very quickly in a bad way, especially the best of five,” Sinner said.

“I’m delighted to finish it in three,” she said. These Parisian night sessions are truly unique.

The Italian, who returned from a three-month doping suspension in Rome in May, will face Kazakh Alexander Bublik, who is unseeded, in the quarter-finals.

Sinner defeated Bublik 3-1 in their previous meeting on grass in Halle, but they did not win.

After winning the US Open last year and the Australian Open for the second time in a row in January, he now has a third successive Grand Slam title in Paris.

After falling to Rublev in the final 16 at Roland Garros in 2022, Sinner gained some reprieve from his third set injury.

He fired five aces and 25 winners past a confused opponent on Monday while being in top form.

You don’t want to show your opponent anything, Sinner said of his calm on-court demeanor, but there is a storm going on inside.

“The storm was not only inside but also outside in my young career.”

In the match’s opening game, the 23-year-old saved two break points from eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz, who had defeated him in the 2024 semi-finals.

However, he only missed one set point for a first-set bagel as he surged to a 5-0 lead and won the opener.

When Rublev dropped the serve once more, Sinner took a 2-1 lead into the second set.

Rublev, a 10-time Grand Slam quarter-finalist, raised his game in the third set with the audience firmly in his step.

But his only setback was when Sinner defended himself on serve before the top seed’s first match point, when a Rublev forehand hit the net and spun wide, was when Sinner held his serve.

Cardi claimed she paid a relative $3, 000 per week to care for the kids after claiming her real name was Belcalis Almánzar. The star is also said to receive $500 per day from their youngest child.

Offset then requested spousal support during the breakup, which upset her. Cardi went on to pay additional tuition that she had already paid or for which she had not asked.

Have I asked you for anything, she asked Kiari? You are so desperate for spousal support. And don’t forget about the food; my kids have a personal chef that works from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. because my house’s residents don’t have time to cook.

Cardi claimed that her ex had only seen their eight-month-old child “like five times” in addition to pricing up all the activities. She made the claim that she had been attempting to save her face.

UN demands probe as Israeli forces kill more people near aid site in Gaza

As the UN demands an independent investigation into the repeated mass shootings of aid seekers in the strip, Israeli forces have opened fire on Palestinians who were trying to get humanitarian aid from a distribution center in Gaza, killing at least three people and injuring more than 30.

According to health officials and witnesses, the shooting broke out at sunrise on Monday at the same Israeli-backed aid facility in southern Gaza where soldiers had opened fire the day before.

From Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, according to Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, “The Israeli military opened fire on civilians without any kind of warning,” the report read.

International aid organizations have widely condemned this pattern because it makes it harder for the government to act on its own without making it possible for those in desperate need to receive humanitarian aid.

Witnesses claimed that Israeli drones and quadcopter drones regularly monitor aid facilities run by Israel’s and the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

According to Hisham Mhanna, a spokesperson for the International Committee of the Red Cross, about 50 people were shot in the most recent shooting, of which two were killed upon arrival. The majority of the time had been struck by shrapnel or bullets. A third body was transported to Khan Younis’ Nasser Hospital.

Moataz al-Feirani, 21, claimed he was shot in the leg as he and thousands of others approached the food truck.

He told The Associated Press that “we had nothing,” adding that surveillance drones circled overhead and that “the Israeli military” were keeping an eye on us. He claimed that the shooting broke out around 5:30 am (02:30 GMT) close to the Flag Roundabout.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanded an independent investigation into the widespread massacre of Palestinians on Monday in response to the pattern of deadly violence that has erupted around the GHF aid distribution site.

Palestinians risking their lives for food, he said, is unacceptable. “I demand that these events be investigated immediately and independently, and that those responsible be held accountable.”

Israeli soldiers fired “warning shots” at people who “posed a threat,” according to the Israeli military, who has denied targeting civilians.

The GHF has also denied that the shootings took place, despite the fact that Jake Wood, its founding executive director, left before operations even started after he questioned the organization’s “impartiality” and “independence.”

Critics claimed that the group uses its aid concentration in the south to avoid well-established international organizations as a cover for Israel’s wider campaign to depopulate northern Gaza.

After Israel partially lifted a total siege that for more than two months shut down more than two million people from receiving food, water, fuel, and medicine, aid is still only trickling in from Gaza.

The UN has previously warned that a large number of children are at risk of perishing from hunger-related causes.

At least 51 people were killed in 24 hours.

Israeli airstrikes remained retaliatory over residential areas throughout the area.

According to the Palestinian Civil Defense Agency, Israeli forces attacked a home in Jabalia in northern Gaza, killing 14 people, including seven children. At least 20 people were still encased beneath the rubble.

Another attack in Deir el-Balah claimed the lives of two more Palestinians and injured several others, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, and a drone strike in Khan Younis claimed the lives of two more.

In the most recent 24-hour reporting period, the Gaza-based Ministry of Health reported that at least 51 Palestinians had died and 503 had been hurt in Israeli-related attacks alone.

On June 2, 2025, Palestinian children in Nuseirat, central Gaza, wait for food at a distribution center.

Israel’s military ordered the displacement of even more civilians from Khan Younis on Monday despite receiving more international condemnation and admonition to use “great force.”

As Gaza’s 2.3 million residents are crammed into an ever-diminishing patch of land near the Egyptian border, roughly 80% of the strip is currently either under Israeli military control or designated for forced evacuation, according to new data from the Financial Times.

As officials who publicly support “voluntary migration” plans, Israel has kept its intentions a secret about its intention to permanently relocate the population of Gaza.

According to The Financial Times, the areas Palestinians are being shoved into resemble a “desert wasteland without running water, electricity, or even hospitals.”

In evacuated areas, Israeli forces positioned military installations and cleared land.

According to analysts who examined dozens of recent forced evacuation orders, the trend has gotten worse since the end of a truce in March.

Political analyst Xavier Abu Eid told Al Jazeera, “The Israeli government has been very clear about what their plan is about in Gaza.”
