Orlando Bloom joins Katy Perry on tour for ‘make-or-break talks’ amid split rumours

After a source claimed that they have been “living separate lives” while Katy has been on tour, Orlando Bloom and Katy have been having a relationship.

Actor Orlando Bloom flew to the land down under to reunite with Katy Perry and their five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, to have ‘make-or-break talks’ amid split rumours. Orlando, 48, was sweetly snapped carrying his daughter Daisy on his shoulders as he walked the streets of Perth, Australia, on Sunday.

A printed long-sleeved top with black jeans, black boots, and a cap was a casual look for Orlando. Katy, who performed in Perth that night, was not spotted on the walk with her family.

Despite Katy’s contented space flight and her being on tour, reports of their nearly ten-year relationship being on the rocks caused Orlando’s trip to Australia. According to reports, Orlando may have traveled to Australia so they can talk about the state of their relationship.

While rumors about their relationship have been spreading, a source revealed that Katy doesn’t want to “give up” and that they both “love one another.”

A source told The Sun: “No one has decided it’s definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets”. They added: “But Katy especially doesn’t want to just give up”.

Katy has been enjoying some quality time in Australia, where she will have spent the entire month of June. On June 30, she will play a concert in Adelaide.

A source claims that she and Orlando have been “living separate lives” because of spending so much time away from her Montecito, California, home.

Katie and Orlando have been living apart for a while because of their work commitments, the source said.

She mentioned traveling back to Australia to visit her children, her sister Angela, Orlando, Daisy, and her children. They haven’t been together for many, many months, and they haven’t really been together for long enough.

Despite their rough patch, the source says there is ‘still a huge amount of love’ between the couple

They thrived when they had a more settled life, living together for a while, according to the source, “go, go, go.” But that hasn’t actually occurred.

The Lord of the Rings actor, according to reports, didn’t overwhelmingly support Katy’s 11-minute space flight, which saw her orbit the planet for.

However, the source claims that despite their rough patches, the couple still have a great deal of love and can “ride out” the difficult times.

Which teams have qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16?

At the conclusion of matchday two, five clubs have already secured spots in the tournament’s round of 16 and all teams have played two games each.

Although a final push is required for the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain to qualify, renowned clubs like Munich, Bayern and Manchester City must also do so in order to qualify.

Al Jazeera Sport breaks down the scenarios that some of the comparatively smaller clubs might be able to pass through while revealing which teams are in and which teams are out.

Which 16 clubs compete in the Club World Cup?

These five clubs can breathe easy with two wins out of two and six points:

  • Botafogo
  • Munich, Bayern
  • Flamengo
  • Manchester City
  • Juventus

Which teams were eliminated from the Club World Cup?

The journey has come to an end for seven clubs after losing their first two games:

  • Auckland City
  • Los Angeles FC
  • Red Urawa diamonds
  • Ulsan HD
  • Wydad AC
  • Al Ain
  • Pachuca

What tie-breakers are being applied to the Club World Cup?

The teams that advance to the knockouts will be determined based on a set of tie-breakers in the event of a point tie. The next tie-breaker will be used until a winner is chosen, whichever tie is won. These procedures are:

  • winner of the tie-breakers head-to-head
  • Head-to-head goals are scored by tied teams.
  • Head-to-head goals were scored by rival teams.
  • Disciplined points (red and yellow cards)
  • lots drawing

What outcomes are required for advancement in Real Madrid, Inter Milan, PSG, Inter Miami, and Chelsea?

The four European giants and the Lionel Messi-led side are still the favorites to advance to the second round, but the following clubs still need to do more to advance.

    Real Madrid leads Group H by edging Salzburg on goal difference with four points from their first two games, just like RB Salzburg. The Spanish giants will prevail if they defeat the Austrians in their final group game. All three teams will each have five points each if Al Hilal and Pachuca draw and win, which will allow the tie-break rules to be applied to the top two teams.

  • PSG: The European champions are currently tied for third place with three points and in desperate need of a win when they play the Seattle Sounders in their final Group B game. Along with Botafogo, they will win six points.
  • Inter Miami: The Miami team started the tournament with a mediocre start before falling to FC Porto, who finished with four points overall. In an effort to avoid a loss, they face Group A leaders Palmeiras in a bid to take their place.
  • With only three points after a win and a loss, Chelsea are in trouble. To advance, they must avoid falling short of ES Tunis, their fierce Group D foe, who also has the same points. On the strength of their better goal difference, a draw will suffice for Chelsea.
  • Inter Milan, the UEFA Champions League runners-up, were held by Mexican foe Monterrey in their opening match but defeated a tenacious Urawa Reds team to claim their first victory in Group E. A win would place either team as the group leaders, but a draw could result in a tie-break scenario if Monterrey defeats Urawa in their final game.

Can ES Tunis, Mamelodi Sundowns, Monterrey, and Al Hilal still qualify for knockouts?

Yes, each of the four clubs’ first two games saw at least two points, which gave them a strong chance of qualifying.

Al Hilal and Monterrey both won two games with two draws, each totaling two points. Regardless of the outcome of the other Group H game, the Saudi club will face the ousted Mexican side Pachuca for a chance to win a big game and then rely on their superior goal difference to get there. The same requirements apply to Monterrey’s game against Urawa, which they are in.

The Sundowns have a chance to qualify for the Club World Cup with their skill and colorful celebrations, but their match against Brazil’s Fluminense will not be fun and games. The South African club will have six points if they win, but a draw with Borussia Dortmund, who lead with four points, might force them to leave.

Given their lower goal difference, ES Tunis are in a straight winner-goes-through shootout with Chelsea, which will require a draw for the Tunisian club.

Which other teams still stand a chance of qualifying for Round 16?

  • Fluminense
  • Borussia Dortmund
  • Madrid Atletico
  • River Plate
  • FC Porto
  • Benfica
  • Al Ahly
  • Palmeiras
  • Boca Juniors
  • RB Salzburg
  • Seattle Sounders

Brooklyn Beckham feud reaches breaking point with cash row and brother’s swipe

After months of unrest that led to the 26-year-old swearing at his own father’s birthday party, Brooklyn Beckham’s relationship with his family has recently reached a tipping point.

According to some, the conflict started before Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to American heiress and actress Nicola Peltz. According to reports, the wedding planning was reportedly a drama, and recent reports suggest the Peltz family is angry that the Beckhams didn’t financially support the couple’s lavish lifestyle in California.

The mud-slinging grew over the weekend when insiders called the Beckham’s “tight” and claimed Nicola’s parents “threw money at anything and everything” including the two Los Angeles homes where Nicola and Brooklyn reside. In contrast, David and Victoria wanted to teach their children the value of money from a young age, with Brooklyn working as a barista at the age of 15.

On Father’s Day, David Beckham sent a heartfelt message to his children (@davidbeckham/Instagram).

Friends of Nicola’s billionaire parents have criticized her for claiming she is “spoiled,” but they have defended the financial support the couple receives. Nicola, a person close to Brooklyn and Nicola, stated that she is grateful for having lived a fortunate life. She has also worked for over 20 years, and she currently writes, directs, and produces her own projects.

Her parents are very proud of their children, but it seems as though doing so would not appeal to them.

Nicola and Brooklyn resigned from their positions as they attended David’s birthday celebrations last month, despite arriving in London to do so. After being informed that his ex, who was dating his brother Romeo at the time, was going to be there, the couple reportedly declined to attend. Additionally, Brooks also omitted his father’s birthday salutation.

According to TMZ, Brooklyn and Nicola were instructed to attend the main celebrations or they wouldn’t have the opportunity to see the family, leaving the two heartbroken because they would not be around Brooklyn’s brother Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull.

Due to the conflict, Kim, 24, and Romeo, 22, split and claimed she was used as the “scapegoat” in the conflict. The DJ and model has now revealed in a new interview with The Sunday Times Style Magazine how she handles rumors about herself while battling the spotlight.

She said, “It’s definitely tough, whatever it is, when people talk about you in ways that don’t necessarily make sense and, in my opinion, don’t align with your character and values.

You want to turn around and respond to every comment, but you just can’t, in the end.

Cruz, Brooklyn’s younger brother, gave the impression that the “truth would unfold” on Saturday, making an appearance in front of Cruz’s older brother. The 20-year-old took to Instagram to express his love for his parents, sharing sharp lyrics from The Beatles’ 1969 song with tentative lyrics like “The End to his Stories.”

Fans made a quick fessily connection between the lyrics and Beckham’s ongoing conflict with Brooklyn. They read, “Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, and I love you, and ultimately, the love you give is equal to the love you make.”

The post’s title read, “The truth will emerge.”

According to some, Brooklyn wanted to live permanently away from his parents and their base in London and the Cotswolds, so he made the decision to buy a new home in LA and establish roots there.

However, an insider refuted this. They claimed in a statement to the Daily Mail that “this house has no relationship to family dynamics.” This is the same property David and Victoria own in the US.

Brooklyn spent a portion of his childhood in Los Angeles while his father played for the LA Galaxy, and both Nicola and Brooklyn’s careers are based there. He spent a number of years in LA before moving to the city and beginning to form relationships there. He has always felt at home in LA.

Prince Harry ‘will invite Royal Family to Invictus Games’ – but there’s huge clash

According to reports, Prince Harry wants to invite the Royal Family to the upcoming Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham in 2027.

Prince Harry plans to invite the King and other royals to his next Invictus Games in Birmingham, it has been reported. It is said that email invitations will be sent later this month, with formal invitations to follow, which would be the strongest indication that the Duke of Sussex is keen on reconciliation with his family.

The next Invictus Games is being held at the NEX in Birming from July 10 to 17, 2027, and it is claimed that sending invitations soon would give Charles and the rest of the royals the best chance of attending. However, it could prove a headache for the Palace as the games end on the same day that Queen Camilla turns 80.

A source told the Mail On Sunday: “Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family. Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans.

The Royals have always been incredibly supportive of Invictus and proud of Harry’s accomplishments in that regard. He may have given him one more olive branch that can be reacted upon.

Just weeks ago, Harry revealed he is no longer speaking to his father, but admitted he would like reconciliation with him and his older brother Prince William.

Continue reading the article.

Following their interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they claimed a member of the royal family was concerned about their son Archie’s skin tone before he was born, the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family significantly grew.

Then, the duke claimed that William physically attacked him in his controversial memoir Spare, that the King had a crush on Meghan and put his own needs before Harry’s.

The Prince of Wales will worry more than ever that any conversation with the duke would end up in the public domain because Harry’s decision to speak out appears to have weakened the likelihood of a resolution to his estrangement. The King, who is still receiving cancer, is also thought to be at risk.

In the meantime, when the next Olympics are in the UK in less than two years will Harry bring his wife Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with him.

Harry lost his legal challenge last month against the Home Office over the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec)’s ruling that he should be given a different level of protection while living in the UK.

He claimed at the time that the Court of Appeal decision makes it “impossible” for him to safely bring Meghan and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet back to the UK.

In an interview with the BBC, he said: “I can’t see a world in which I will be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point and the things they are going to miss is everything. I love my country and always have done…despite what some people in that country have done.

Continue reading the article.

I miss the UK, he continued. I long for some of the UK. I do, of course. I feel really let down by the fact that I can’t show my kids my home. Because preparations are in the early stages, an Invictus spokesman said: “No formal invitations have been issued.

Meghan Markle challenged over claim she was ‘silenced’ by Palace amid royal ‘swipe’

Meghan Markle has been the subject of criticism from royal family members for her long-held belief that she was “silenced” by the royal family. Robert Hardman criticized her for her numerous media and business ventures, which keep her in the spotlight.

A royal expert has hit back at Meghan Markle’s eyebrow-raising claims that she was ever ‘silenced’ by the Palace, claiming that we never stop hearing from her and her newest projects. Esteemed royal author Robert Hardman, who has a long history writing about the Royal Family, believes that the Duchess of Sussex was overplaying her belief that she was kept quiet during her time as a working royal, given her regular TV and social media presence.

Meghan first made the declaration that she was “silenced” by the Firm during her bombshell interview with Oprah in 2021, as she recounted her two years as a senior working royal between her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, and stepping back from royal life in 2020.

Meghan claimed that the royal family “sheltered” her during the explosive interview with Oprah in 2021.

Oprah questioned Meghan about whether she was “silent or silenced” during the enthralling interview, to which she responded that it was the latter. Given that she had been advocating for women for so long that they should use their voices, she was quick to point out how ironic it was.

Meghan also mentioned on the Emma Grede podcast last week that she would “ask people to tell the truth” if she could completely rewrite her public narrative. Meghan claimed in her 2021 Oprah interview that she could not possibly expect to remain silent if “the Firm” is “perpetuating falsehoods” about Harry and her.

However, royal author Robert Hardman claims that Meghan never was silenced despite her claims that the Firm had stifled her. Meghan is also a silent person in the Firm and the media.

Continue reading the article.

Speaking candidly on True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat, Hardman shared that ever since Harry and Meghan quit their roles as working royals and relocated to California in 2020, the couple have hardly kept out of the spotlight.

He continued, citing the wide range of television and PR opportunities that they have offered since their departure from the company, even those that came at a difficult time for the royal family as a whole.

Hardman said: “The idea that [Meghan] has ever been silenced, I mean, I just sort of think back to, you know, the end of 2022, just after the death of the late Queen, and within weeks we had the first trailers for the six-part Harry and Meghan [ Netflix series], and then as it all came out… followed by Harry’s book and all the interviews and other stuff. I don’t really feel there’s been a time when we haven’t been hearing from Meghan.”

He added that “she could say anything if she wanted to,” and that she has not been forced to publicly criticize the royal family or promote her own businesses.

Meghan continues to speak her mind while also being open about her family, her family, and “telling the truth,” according to royal expert Katie Nicholl, who also spoke on the show. This was most recently demonstrated on the Emma Grede podcast.

Nicholl noted that Meghan has been adopting an edgier mindset and has perhaps accepted the fact that she will never win everyone over by accepting her nonchalant approach to popularity.

Meghan has been portraying that narrative as a victim for so long, according to Nicholl. And I was considering the direction she’s going in. Because of her toughness, she was privately known as Teflon, and I believe that’s what we’re seeing in her right now.

Continue reading the article.

She actually has reached the point where she doesn’t care, and I believe it almost feels like she’s just putting up a little shield. She is aware of her divisions and causes controversy. You might enjoy or detest her podcast. She is Marmite, and I believe that this new direction is because she is “just not cares.”

An insider told the Daily Mail that the teenager ‘is considering starting her own career in music’ and that some of ‘Beyoncé’s favourite writers’ are already working on some demos for her.
