Brooklyn Beckham showed a family reunion was far from his mind as he partied into the new year with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham. It comes as his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, seemingly made a plea with their eldest son.

As 50 Cent took to the stage after the bells rang out, Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, both of South Florida, seemed to be having a blast. As they introduced 2026 in style, they were spotted raising their arms and posing with joy.

It comes as Brooklyn’s parents appeared to make another attempt to heal the rift between the family that has been simmering away publicly for months. Taking to Instagram, David initially posted 20 images that saw him reflect on what he called unforgettable moments. Clear in the images were former Spice Girl Victoria and three of the couple’s children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. There was no space for a shot of Brooklyn.

However, the former England captain later shared a throwback photo of himself and Brooklyn, who were standing ensemble in happier times. The father’s emoji reads, “I love you all so much,” and the father adds, “I love you all so much.”

He also shared a black-and-white photo of Victoria, the mother of Harper, and all of his children. You are my life, he wrote. I cherish Daddy X and love you all. On to 2026″.

And while Victoria reshared her hubby’s post on her own platform, Brooklyn appears to continue to snub his family for his life stateside in the images obtained by TMZ.

On the eve of David’s 50th birthday, the fallout first appeared in public. Brooklyn was missing from a number of family gatherings as soon as people realized it. He also snubbed both of his parents’ birthdays on Instagram, something he had never done before.

Despite avoiding significant family events like Sir David’s long-awaited knighthood earlier this year, Brooklyn and Nicola remained unmoved. Without the presence of any of Brooklyn’s immediate family, the couple also renewed their vows.

The Beckham clan may not all be willing to offer an olive branch as the conflict continues to simmer. Romeo chose not to do the same despite David and Victoria’s public position.

Brooklyn was omitted from the model’s Instagram post, which included his parents, brother Cruz, 20, sister Harper, 14, and girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24. Romeo’s family photos were shared on social media, and the images included sweet snaps.

Thanks 2025, off to a better 2026, he captioned his upload, “Love you all @davidbeckham @victoriabeckham @cruzbeckham @kim_turnbull @harperbeckham.”

Among the images used were David’s Knighthood medal as well as photos of his summer yacht trip. A sweet snap of him and Cruz hugging each other was also prominent, along with Kim.

Louise Thompson has revealed her wish to have another child. The decision comes five years after she almost died during childbirth with her son. She has since faced a number of health issues, including revealing she has had a stoma. But despite the ordeal, she has admitted ‘all I want for 2026 is a baby”.

Louise, 35, opened up about her desire to “expande her family” in the message shared on her Substack post. She predicted that the upcoming year would be filled with prosperity, growth, and health. I’m prepared for family growth and new beginnings.

Louise revealed she had suffered a number of injuries after giving birth to son Leo. A post-natal hemorrhage was included in this. Later, she developed Asherman’s Syndrome, a condition wherein scar tissue in the uterus is ‘glued’ together.

Other issues included emergency surgery and worsening bowel movements. She previously described the agonizing times. Following the delivery of her son Leo via emergency C-section, Louise revealed that she had lost three and a half liters of blood. After she had another hemorrhage at home, which left her with five liters of blood and was taken to intensive care, things got worse.

And this Christmas she was rushed to hospital on Christmas Eve. She uploaded a picture of herself in a hospital gown and wrote on Instagram: “Looks dramatic but it wasn’t. I had a proctoscopy today. It’s like a colonoscopy but not as invasive because I don’t have a colon so there isn’t very far the camera can go.

Fentanyl is a wonder drug, she continued, “Still b***** awkward and a little bit uncomfortable.” Then, she shared a second image in which a nasal cannula was inserted.

She wrote, “These appointments are very important and they managed to fit me in quite urgently, so I jumped at the chance to have a 24th December date, and then I realized how significant it was because it was Christmas Eve.”

Louise thanked the doctors and nurses who helped her enormously the day afterward. She said, “I was going to do a main feeder, but I really want to go to sleep.” My caption was as follows.

“The NHS never sleeps. I had a proctoscope today. A nice little Christmas Eve camera up the bum. The NHS was still running in full swing. (Well not quite but you know what I mean)

“It made me want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has worked for the NHS over the holidays. Thank you for keeping our loved ones alive and keeping the nation ticking along.

Louise revealed in a speech to Lorraine last year that there is “uncertainty” about having a second child. It’s still fairly unconclusive, she told the presenter. I have asherman syndrome, where my uterus are glued together with scar tissue, and I have never been mentally strong enough to carry a child.

I suppose in some ways, the fact that I don’t need a hysterectomy, and that also leaves me with a womb. I had no periods for a year before having surgery to try and fix it, which ended in another hemorrhage. The hospital has since said, “It would be too threatening.

“We wouldn’t want to perform another procedure there.” Let’s allow you to live. I’m also so blessed to have a beautiful, well-rounded child with many friends and cousins. There is a chance I could freeze some eggs because I do have ovaries and embryos when I’m ready.

Claudia Winkleman previously admitted it is “so heartbreaking” watching her daughter dream of life away from home, as the Traitors host opened up about the realities of motherhood

Claudia Winkleman has opened up about a poignant moment with her daughter, describing the bittersweet emotions of watching her child dream of independence. The Traitors host, known for her warmth and humour on screen, revealed the family admission during a candid conversation about motherhood with her own mum, Eve Pollard.

The presenter, 53, who has been married to film producer Kris Thykier since 2000, has three children: Jake, Matilda and Arthur. While Winkleman has occasionally shared glimpses of her home life, she has previously spoken on the Wellbeing of Women charity’s YouTube channel about the emotional tug-of-war many parents experience as their children begin imagining lives beyond the family home.

Speaking to her mother, Claudia said: “I remember shouting at you, ‘I don’t like you,’ and you replied back, ‘you’re not supposed to’. I would say I was 15, and it was such a relief. I was like, ‘oh, thank goodness’. So all of these feelings are normal, but it was still safe.

“You’re going to think I’m an idiot. You’re going to think I’m annoying. You’re going to think I’m embarrassing. I’m going to drive you mad. You’re not going to like me very much. You might lie in bed, listening to your Walkman, daydreaming about living somewhere else, you know.”

The moment struck a chord as Winkleman reflected on her own daughter’s burgeoning independence. “My daughter says to me, ‘Do you think, Mommy, one day I might live in Liverpool?’ She’s obsessed with Liverpool at the moment,” she said. “She goes, ‘I might live in Liverpool, and not only that, mum, we might have a tiny balcony.’

“I mean, it’s so heartbreaking to me, the idea that she wouldn’t want to just live in my little nook (on my shoulder), you know?”

Winkleman went on to describe tender memories of her daughter seeking comfort as a child. “She used to sleep with her head there all the time, and somehow she’s got this fantasy that she and her friend are going to move to the north of England,” she said.

The presenter explained that the conversation highlighted the bittersweet nature of watching children grow up — the excitement of seeing them imagine independent futures, combined with the sadness of knowing those close, early years cannot last forever.

Married to Thykier, whose film credits include Layer Cake and Kick-Ass, Winkleman has balanced a high-profile television career with family life. The couple are known for keeping their private lives largely out of the public eye, while continuing to support their children’s ambitions.

In a new year’s message shared on Instagram, Trixie’s Call the Midwife actress referred to a relationship milestone.

Helen George, a legend of Call the Midwife, has written a heartfelt tribute to her new partner.

The 40-year-old actress confirmed to her Instagram account that she had met Dan Innes a year ago on New Year’s Eve. She plays Nurse Trixie in the BBC drama.

In Helen’s touching post, she shared a photo of Dan holding her beloved dog. Her beau can be seen wearing a pair of sunglasses, a neck scarf, and a blue jacket as he peers into the distance, cradling the pooch.

After connecting on Raya’s dating site, it is thought that Helen and Dan found happiness.

My friends and I set goals and intentions for 2025 on New Year’s Eve last year, according to the caption. Little did I know that mys would enter my life the following day. Do it tonight; @daninnes, they might come true.

Helen confirmed her new romance on Valentine’s Day when she shared the evening with Dan at the riverside restaurant, The Watermans Arms, in Barnes.

Posting a snap to Instagram of her table, filled with tasty-looking plates of steak, chips, and two glasses of red wine, she penned: “The most delicious Valentine’s over-ordering. Hearts and stomachs full,” tagging Dan in the post.

Helen and Jack started a family together, and their relationship blossomed away from the rolling cameras.

Fans of Claudia Winkleman have shared their opinions on her iconic look, with some claiming that the orange makeup, heavy eyeliner, and black hair are all just a cover.

Fans of Claudia Winkleman are persuaded that the actress has been living a secret double life. The British TV presenter made her BBC debut on the BBC’s Holiday! travel show in the early 1990s after attending Cambridge.

She is most well-known for hosting The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing right now. Some fans, however, claim that she has kept the truth from everyone, as evidenced by her choice of dark hair, orange makeup, and dark eyeliner. According to one Reddit user, “I believe she does this so that she lives a normal, private life off camera without wearing makeup and a wig.”

My main proof that her make-up is obviously a wig and that she wears a badly done mask is “a wig” every time I see her.

One user responded to their theory by stating that while it’s not entirely an act, there is definitely a significant component of it that involves leaning into a particular “look” for when she’s performing, which makes it simpler to separate public and private lives.

She calls her brand “pandas, spray tan, and fringe,” according to the spokesperson.

Dolly Parton is renowned for producing a “very similar” look to her (heavy makeup, wig, sparkles) for public appearances that is not a “fake” version of herself in the sense that it is her brand/look for public performances.

One user said, “I believe she personally uses this appearance as a devilizer and protection for herself.”

I mean, you are correct, a third user said. She discusses how she can go to the shops without a problem because of the fact that her “look” intentionally makes her unrecognizable without makeup in several interviews. However, I believe the hair is real. a brand choice.

While another user claimed that she had seen her at a posh London members bar in person. Sorry to break your bubble, but she actually looks exactly like that!

It comes after a 1996 throwback clip that featured the actress before she became well-known on Strictly Come Dancing was reaired.

Claudia Winkleman on how to increase your pulling power was the caption of the Instagram post with the clip.

Claudia Winkleman provided some top advice and choice chat-up lines for both men and women to increase their pulling power on “OnThisDay 1996.” Original broadcast on May 3, 1996, Good Morning with Anne and Nick was cut out of this clip.

A young Winkleman, known as a “chat up connoisseur,” offers flirtatious advice in the snippet that is appropriate for both sexes.

Fans weren’t afraid to criticize her pre-fame appearance, with one saying, “She’s a beautiful lady – she doesn’t need to hide behind a fringe and eyeline.”

Stormzy has been candid in a telling post as he looks back on 2025. The musician, whose real name is Michael Ebenzer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr, revealed he felt like he had been “dying a slow death” of late.

The 32-year-old rapper burst onto the scene 10 years ago and had a meteoric rise to the top. Now, he has opened up on what he felt was a tough year. Taking to Instagram to share the honest statement, he wrote: “Ok, I’m ready. There’s poetry in all this chaos so lemme embrace it.”

He continued to discuss the “unexpected twists and turns” he was forced to endure last year. And he claimed that he was “robbed” by the difficult circumstances.

He continued: “Towards the end of 2024, my life took a few unexpected twists and turns and I was forced to pivot. These same events also robbed me of the wide-eyed innocence I once navigated the world with.

“Kinda like how you use to believe that Disneyland was powered by rainbows and fairy dust, and then one day you see a headless Mickey Mouse arguing on the phone and smoking a cigarette. This made me more resilient and put the final nail in the coffin of my desire to be understood – a part of me that, tbf, was already dying a slow death.”

He acknowledged in his statement that “my life must be restructured and rebuilt” and that he had to “rebuild my team.” The loss and heartache of it all was devastating, he said. “The world that I had come to know and love would never be the same again.

He continued, “The demands of this new season challenged every aspect of my being,” after saying he had no idea why he was experiencing discomfort in life. I had my physical, spiritual, professional, and creative needs tested.

“I had no choice but to go over every aspect of my life.” I have always been incredibly clear about my purpose and the direction that The Holy Spirit wants me to go in, which makes this season even more unsettling.

The star opened up about a number of events from the past year that he claimed he had learned from, though it wasn’t immediately clear what events the star was referring to. He then shared several photos from his 2025, including those of Barry Keoghan and other famous people.

While Stormzy turned off the comments to his post, it was liked by many of his followers, including former Love Island star and fellow singer Wes Nelson. Sam Thompson and Lisa Maffia also clicked the like button to show their support.

In November, the star revealed he was heartbroken by the death of his dog he shared with ex Maya Jama. He revealed his Rottweiler died seven years after he bought the protection dog for him and his ex-girlfriend.

He shared a number of photos and clips of Enzo throughout the time he had him, in a sweet tribute to his pet as he announced the depressing news at the time. He later wrote, “RIP my no. 1 boy. Have little to say; all that is devastated and heartbroken.

My boy, I adore you so much. You already know Enz meant a lot to me, and I’m going to miss you, my guy.
