Jack Osbourne’s glimmer of hope as he told dad Ozzy baby news before his death

Jack Osbourne is set to become a father for the fifth time and he was able to share his happy news with his dad Ozzy Osbourne before his tragic death in July

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here star Jack Osbourne has revealed that he is to become a dad again with second wife Aree Gearhart. This will be the couple’s second child but Jack’s fifth as he has three children from his previous marriage.

And one thing that Jack, 40, is perhaps most proud of is that he was able to share the happy news with his dad Ozzy Osbourne, before he died in July.

In a recent interview following his exit from the ITV show, Jack said: “It’s awesome. We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected. But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously.”

It’s believed that Aree is 28 weeks pregnant. And Jack was not only happy about being able to share the news with his late father, but the upcoming birth has been a welcomed distraction from grieving Ozzy absence.

“I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing — probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way. It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness,” he told The Sun on Sunday.

Jack secretly married Aree two years ago, a year after the arrival of their first daughter Maple. At the time, Jack shared with news with his fans by posting: “Something really cool happened. I married the most amazing women I’ve ever met. All in.”

Jack is already a father to Pearl, 13, Andy 10 and Minnie, seven, who he shares with ex wife Lisa Stelly.

Jack and Aree started dating back in 2019 and decided to publicly make their relationship official by attending the American Music Awards in the November of that year.

The couple’s joy comes a few months after the world was left mourning the loss of the rock icon after it emerged that he had died on July 22 at the age of 76.

Honouring the memory of the globally renowned musician, Jack posted an emotional tribute a month after Ozzy died, which also included pictures of his children.

It read: “I haven’t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him ‘Dad,’ “

Jack added: “My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ mum breaks silence on damning Netflix series and slapping incident

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs mother Janice Combs has hit out at what she called a number of inaccuracies about the Netflix series – slamming her son’s alleged friends and diminishing a slapping incident that features in the show

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ mom has shared her fury at the damning new Netflix documentary about her son.

The streaming service released the four-part Sean Combs: The Reckoning this week and Janice Combs has now shared her furious reaction.

The mum has blasted claims that she was an “abusive parent” to her son, calling herself a loving and nurturing parent to her boy who she described as a ‘goal orientated over achiever.’

In a statement given to Rolling Stone, Janice insisted The Reckoning – which has Diddy’s nemesis 50 Cent as one of the executive producers – was created with the purpose of “misleading viewers” and further “harming the family’s reputation.”

Denying she had been abusive, Janice said: “As I have stated previously, I was a single mother, raising my son, I held three and even four jobs in an attempt to provide a comfortable upbringing and quality education for my child. I raised Sean with love and hard work, not abuse.”

Janice wanted to release a statement to “correct some of the lies” in the docuseries, and accused Tim Patterson, an alleged childhood friend of her son, of making “salacious” claims of her relationship with the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker.

Diddy is serving 50 months behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Janice said: “I loved and nurtured Sean. My memories of Sean growing up are one of a respectful and a diligent child and teenager. Sean has always been an industrious, goal oriented, over achiever.”

The mum also insisted Bad Boy Entertainment co-founder Kirk Burrowes’ statement that his then-business partner once slapped his mother was “patently false”.

She said: “The allegations stated by Mr. Kirk Burrows that my son slapped me while we were conversing after the tragic City College events on December 28, 1991, are inaccurate and patently false.

“That was a very sad day for all of us. For him to use this tragedy and incorporate fake narratives to further his prior failed and current attempt to gain what was never his, Bad Boy Records is wrong, outrageous and past offensive.(sic)”

Janice praised the incarcerated rap mogul as a “dutiful son” who had helped her with medical care and other financial support and requested “these distortions, falsehoods and misleading statements be publicly retracted.”

Diddy’s representatives previously branded The Reckoning “fundamentally unfair and illegal”.

A statement said: “Netflix is plainly desperate to sensationalise every minute of Mr Combs’s life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalise on a never-ending media frenzy.

“If Netflix cared about truth or Mr Combs’s legal rights, it would not be ripping private footage out of context – including conversations with his lawyers that were never intended for public viewing. No rights in that material were ever transferred to Netflix or any third party.”

However, Netflix later hit back and insisted there is nothing untoward about The Reckoning.

A spokesperson said in a statement: “The claims being made about Sean Combs: The Reckoning are false. The project has no ties to any past conversations between Sean Combs and Netflix.

Vogue Williams stuns in tiny red bikini as she laps up last of I’m A Celeb sun

Vogue Williams looked happier than ever as she posed in a red string tie bikini with a refreshing drink in her hand as she prepares to head back to the UK to be reunited with her family

Vogue Williams is making the most of the sizzling Australia weather ahead of the I’m A Celeb final.

Posing by the poolside of her lavish hotel, the mum could not contain her joy at being out of the jungle, while sipping on a refreshing drink in the sun. Vogue, 40, who is a married mum of three, showed off her washboard stomach and toned physique in a revealing red string tie bikini.

“Beep beep getting ready to go home to ski suits but for now… bikinis and coconuts,” teased Vogue. The comment section was quickly filled with praise by fans with one telling her: “You were fab in the jungle Vogue. I wish we could vote from Ireland.”

Meanwhile a third person penned: “You look amazing gal! Enjoy.”‘

Although Vogue appeared to settle into jungle life fairly quickly as a late starter along with Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson, the model and podcaster recently admitted that was forced to seek professional help before entering the jungle.

After seeing a cockroach in her en suite bathroom while on holiday in Spain, she had a complete meltdown and refused to sleep in the same bedroom as Spencer, during their entire stay.

And it was on reflection of her reaction, she enlisted the help of a hypnotists to help conquer her fear.

Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “I thought this isn’t right, I’m going to need to try and do something here to not be so frightened of them. I actually haven’t really been that scared of them anymore.”

Fearing that she would reveal that she was in preparation of the ITV show, Vogue confessed that instead of pin-pointing towards her fear of cockroaches, she used the generic term of insects instead.

However, she was quick to add that the procedure was probably better suited to seeing the odd one, rather than being bathed in them during a Bushtucker trial.

But it seemed to have worked as she walked away with stars after she was chosen for a challenge. Vogue was the third celebrity to exit the show, following in the footsteps of Alex Scott and Eddie Kadi.

Unfortunately, at the time Spencer was waiting at the other side of the rope bride waiting ton greet her as he was in the middle of completing seven Ironman triathlons, on seven continents in 21 days.

After receiving a letter from home, she was informed that he was on his sixth leg in Rio and she had hoped that he would be able to greet her, but alas.

She explained to the publication: “I was like, ‘oh, maybe he’ll have time, because he was going to fly out here. I thought he might have done Antarctica, but he hasn’t done it yet, so he’s still over there now.”

David Beckham shares huge win with family while estranged Brooklyn stays home making soup

David Beckham celebrated a major triumph with his Inter Miami team in the US on Saturday, but his estranged son, Brooklyn, was nowhere to be seen

Sir David Beckham shared a huge career triumph with his family on Saturday – while his estranged son, Brooklyn, stayed at home making French onion soup.

Brooklyn 26, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, are still not speaking to his family after swerving dad David’s 50th birthday, reportedly leaving the former England captain heartbroken. The hurt has continued with Brooklyn missing his mum’s birthday and even his dad receiving his knighthood from King Charles.

His absence was notably felt again this weekend as he failed to support his father as the team he owns Inter Miami stormed to victory and won the MLS title in the States.

Posing proudly pitchside in Florida, David, Victoria, Romeo, Cruz and Harper smile for the cameras as David lifted the trophy after his side beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 on a hugely successful night for the Leytonstone-born star. Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel also joined the celebrations as she supported her boyfriend’s dad.

However, hot sauce enthusiast, Brooklyn, stayed at home, telling his followers he was making French onion soup as he posed proudly with his culinary concoction on Instagram.

It’s not the first time the self-confessed ‘nutter in the kitchen’ has swerved a family function. As well as skipping his dad’s knighthood, Brooklyn was also a no-show for the launch of Victoria’s Netflix documentary last month.

However, there may be signs of a reconciliation on the cards after Cruz shared a snap of himself with his brothers and David. Captioning the sun-soaked family holiday snap, which was taken in 2021, he wrote: “Love you guys @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham @romeobeckham.”

However, Brooklyn and Cruz are still not following each other on Instagram, with a source telling the Mail that Cruz and Romeo had actually blocked both him and his wife Nicola Peltz on the social media platform.

But, it would seem that all is not lost as Brooklyn’s grandmother, Sandra, reached out to her grandson this week in an apparent bid to get the family reunited for Christmas.

After Brooklyn posted a snap of himself wrapping up one of his bottles of hot sauce for Christmas, she replied: “Is that for me?” followed by a string of sweet emojis.

Meanwhile, Victoria hinted that her son was also in her thoughts for the festive period as she shared a photo from her mum’s house with all the grandchildren’s stockings hanging up.

Zooming in on Brooklyn’s, she said: “So I’m here at my mum and dad’s house and look how cute. They’ve got all of the grandchildren’s stockings up ready for Christmas.”

David and Victoria are reportedly spending Christmas with various extended family members, including Victoria’s mother, Jackie – while Brooklyn will be in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Nicola.

Lando Norris’ dad rushed to be sick in toilet after devastating news on track

Lando Norris made his Formula 1 debut back in 2019, but 2025 has proven to be his year with the McLaren driver in prime position to win the world championship, cheered on by his proud mum and dad

Lando Norris could clinch his first ever Formula One world championship in Abu Dhabi this weekend. The 26-year-old leads Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by 12 points and McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri by 16 as they head to the track – and cheering him on every step of the way are his proud parents.

Adam Norris and Cisca Wauman – who have been together for over 25 years and also share son Oliver and daughters Flo and Cisca – are Lando’s biggest supporters, and will be thrilled to see him finally achieve his F1 dream.

But they are acutely aware of the dangers associated with the thrilling sport. Lando previously revealed the huge impact one tragic moment had on his parents – his father in particular – and how he tried to reassure them he would not meet the same fate.

The incident took place in 2019 when a horrible accident claimed the life of 22-year-old French F2 driver Anthoine Hubert. “My mum is always worried but it threw my dad’s mind quite a bit because he comes to all the races,” said Norris, then a 19-year-old McLaren rookie. “He had to go to the toilet and be sick.

“He can’t watch my onboard footage at a normal race. He has to go somewhere and hide. When it gets to a worse situation, he really can’t take it,” he continued.

“I have to tell him that I’ll be OK but it feels bad saying it. It is what I want to say. I am sure every driver does. And then we have what happened… I am more nervous about reassuring him now. The tragedy is still in my head. Getting back in the car for practice on Friday is when it will hit home.”

Like most F1 racers, Norris began his racing career in karting – an expensive hobby that was predominantly funded by his father, Adam, who boasts a net worth of around £205million. He amassed his wealth after selling his successful pension advice business and has seen further financial success with his investment company, Horatio Investments Ltd.

Adam has previously been listed in the top 20 on the Bristol Rich List, as well as the 501st richest person in the UK. Although he’s no longer in the pensions business, Adam still finds time to run a company as the founder of electric scooter company Pure Electric. Lando is aware that he grew up with a “privileged” lifestyle, which included “having a manager and a trainer since I was 12”. But, the F1 racer said in no way were things handed to him.

“There’s many things that my dad has given to me, or I’ll say, invested in me. But it’s an investment, not a given. I need to pay back that investment and reward him, and use what he’s given me to show that it’s all been useful and not a waste of time,” he said on the High Performance podcast in 2024.
