Brooklyn Beckham has left a gushing message to his wife Nicola Peltz as she celebrates her 31st birthday. The loved-up married couple often share sweet posts regarding their linkup – and her special day isn’t any different as they continue to stay estranged to the other Beckhams.

As Brooklyn continues to shun his family, he shared an adorable post to declare his love for the model. Alongside snaps from their wedding day, including one of the pair embracing, he wrote: “My dear Nicola x happy birthday beautiful girl x.

“I love you with all my heart and I am the luckiest man to call you my wife x you are the funniest and most hard working people I know x can’t wait to stay young with you baby girl xx”

His second image showed Nicola covering one eye with a white rose as she stared into the distance. And his post was met with appreciation from many of his followers.

Among those sharing the love was Internet personality Rebecca Faria, who wrote: “We loveeee @nicolaannepeltzbeckham. happy birthday my lovely Nic!!!” She also shared four red love heart emojis.

The message comes as Sir David Beckham is said to have made a last-minute effort to build bridges with his estranged son by reaching out to Brooklyn and his wife.

The ex-Manchester United and England footballer was knighted by King Charles in October, but Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz were conspicuously missing as he received the honour. They also missed his 50th celebrations and left the Beckhams out of their marriage vow renewal.

It’s understood that Sir David offered Brooklyn the chance to join them at Windsor Castle for the investiture, while also extending an invitation to Nicola for his late-night dinner in west London. However, Brooklyn, 26, who resides in the United States with his actress wife, declined the offer, reports The Sun.

Despite Brooklyn’s fractured relationship with his parents and siblings, it’s thought he still has a connection with his grandparents. It has been claimed Brooklyn sent a legal letter to his parents requesting them to not contact him or tag him on social media – and to contact him via lawyers only.

It’s thought the eldest sibling in the Beckham clan has blocked his immediate family after Victoria liked a post on Brooklyn’s page which saw him share his chicken-in-beer recipe. Brother Cruz recently shared an online news story that claimed it was his parents’ actions against Brooklyn.

However, Cruz said: “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”

But when it comes to his grandparents, Brooklyn is said to have had phone conversations and texts with both Tony and Jackie Adams and a Ted and Sandra Beckham. It has also been claimed he called them all over the Christmas period.

Robbie Williams has shared the heartbreaking 2am text he received from his 13 year old daughter as she opened up about her fears for the future, admitting she is ‘desperate’ to be famous

Robbie Williams has revealed that his 13 year-old daughter sent him a heartbreaking message at 2am, and admitted she fears she will “nothing” if she’s not famous.

The Angels singer shares his teenage daughter, Teddy, with wife Ayda Field. He shared on BBC Radio 2 that Teddy sent him a text in the middle of the night where she opened up about how she was “desperate” for fame but worried her “oversensitive” personality would hold her back.

Talking to Scott Mills, Robbie watched a clip of Teddy joining him for vocal warm ups. After the clip was played, Scott asked: “That must be kind of special, because I feel they’re now at an age where they know who their dad is and to have that experience with your kids? Is it cool?”

Robbie said it was, especially since Teddy wanted to fame for herself. “Yeah, it is very, very cool,” he said. “Ted in particular is so desperate for it.

“Now, when I was growing up in Stoke-on Trent, I was also incredibly desperate for it, whatever it was, you know, watching Top Of The Pops on Thursday and thinking, how the hell do I get in that box in the corner of this room and be one of those people?”

But he added that the desperation was more “acute” in his daughter and read out the message she sent him. Robbie said: “She sent me a text the other day. And it goes, let me get this.

“It says – this was Thursday, six minutes past two in the morning, ‘Dad, what if I’m not a singer? It’s my biggest fear not to be a singer.’ Biggest capital letters. ‘What if I’m nothing?'”

Robbie laughed that his response was that she would be fine, because she is a “nepo”. “And I was like, ‘Babe, you’re a nepo. You’ll be fine.'” Scott asked the former Take That star if he was worried that his daughter wanted to be famous. Robbie said that the only thing that worried him was that “she’s incredibly sensitive”.

“She is worse than me. And I’m worried about what words will do to her,” he said. He later added: “I’m just worried about words, and mean people and – I’m not worried – because like I can steer her professionally so that’s okay, it’s just everything else that comes with it and also you know, besides all of that, it’s a wonderful, wonderful life and a wonderful, wonderful job and you get to be creative for a living and I’m very grateful and incredibly lucky.”

Robbie’s daughter has recently made her acting debut, appearing in the Christmas film Tinsel Town as the daughter of Rebel Wilson’s character. Teddy arrived at the premiere in a green dress and black fur jacket, alongside her parents. The couple proudly smiled with their eldest child. Robbie and Ayda also share a son, Charlie, 10, and another two children, Coco, 7, and Beau, 5.

Katie Price is said to have split from JJ Slater and though she has said she doesn’t need a man, friends are reportedly not going to be surprised when she’s in a new relationship

Despite telling her podcast listeners that she “doesn’t need a man”, Katie Price’s family are reportedly concerned she’s about to “throw herself deep into another relationship”, which a source predicts will only last three seconds.

Katie is thought to have split from her boyfriend JJ Slater. Though Katie shot down reports that she and the Married At First Sight star broke up in December, recent comments on her podcast made many think the relationship was over.

Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, the star explained how years ago she was “afraid of being on my own” but that was no longer the case. Not mentioning JJ, she said: “Years ago, I was always afraid of being on my own. I always felt I needed someone. How I am now, I always say, I don’t need a man. If I want a man, it’s because I want them. I don’t need a man, whereas years before, I needed a man.”

But a source says Katie is likely to jump straight into another relationship. “She always says the same thing [about being happy alone and not needing a man in her life] but she’ll be throwing herself into the next relationship,” they said. “She wants to find a husband and can’t cope without being with a partner. It wouldn’t be surprising if she hasn’t got someone lined up already.”

They added that such a relationship would not last long. “It will last three seconds. Her family are concerned she will throw herself deep into another relationship and put the pressure on again to get married, like she has with JJ. You can’t force someone to get married, you can’t force someone to love you.”

According to the same source, the split between Katie and JJ emerged after the former glamour model issued an ultimatum about marriage. “This has been on the cards for a long time,” they said. “She’s been pushing for marriage, wanting a guy that’s marriage material but the writing has been on the wall for a long time.

“He’s supported her through all her surgeries and been to Turkey with her on many occasions when she’s had her procedures but he just didn’t like the fact she was number one, going for more surgeries, her obsession with it, and her loss of weight and not listening to anyone, and the constant want of press attention. The cracks started to show.”

They continued: “Katie really wants marriage and security and he wasn’t there, he had checked out. She wanted marriage and for him to step up but he just wasn’t. She was getting frustrated, she wanted a ring on her finger . She is desperate to get married again. She wanted more kids. She is fixated on being with someone and being in a long stable couple. She was getting frustrated with him and was like, right, you either marry me or its over sort of thing.

“She moved quickly with the others but with him, he wasn’t up for the Katie show and the drama and that everything that goes along with Katie price. He got cold feet and she was like you’re with me or you’re not. It was all or nothing.”

The source added that “cracks started to appear” because of Katie’s “urgency” and the pressure it put on JJ. They said when he tried to say he was concerned about her and her health, she would also get “defensive”: “She didn’t mind the age gap, she just wanted a man and to be married. For him it didn’t matter at the start, but slowly the cracks started to appear and her urgency for another baby and demands to be married. I think he found the pressure a lot. If he voiced his concerns about the surgeries or her weight loss she would get very defensive.

Finally the source warned that Katie’s family are gravely concerned for her health and worry she could “die” from the surgeries she is getting. “Her family are very worried about her. There is a real problem there and they are worried she will die on the operating table, because she’s not strong enough. She isn’t strong enough for a general anaesthetic, let alone another procedure.”

Brooklyn Beckham has sent the legal letter in order to ‘protect himself,’ sources close to the situation have fired back

David and Victoria Beckham were left devastated at a legal request to block all direct contact with their son. The pair were left shattered after receiving a lawyer’s letter from Brooklyn and new wife Nicola last summer asking them to stop reaching out to them, or even mentioning them on social media.

The approach is viewed in some quarters as “ridiculously heavy-handed and over the top”, amid questions whether Brooklyn is the one driving the action.

But another source with knowledge of the situation said: “Nobody had ever wanted to do something like this, but unfortunately, Brooklyn’s request had constantly gone ignored by his family…he did what he had to do to protect himself.”

The letter – sent by the couple’s law firm Schillings to Harbottle and Lewis, who rep the Beckhams – was merely a request and hasn’t led to action. But news of its existence comes after Nicola and her family have previously sued their wedding planners, and dog groomers.

Some have questioned whether Brooklyn’s best interests were being best served when it came to rebuilding relationships. It comes amid previous claims Nicola was “controlling” him. But others say Brooklyn is “very much his own man” and described any suggestion Nicola was calling the shots as “misogynistic.” It’s understood that going legal was a “last resort for all of them”. They had hoped to resolve things privately and diplomatically, it’s said.

It’s understood that David and Victoria had only reached out to the couple in order to try and meet up and resolve things. The legal approach is said to have blindsided them.

Nicola’s father has previously hired lawyer Marty Singer, who repped Prince Andrew and Bill Cosby, to sue wedding planners Nicola Braghin and Arianna Grijalba, who oversaw Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding in 2022. The case was eventually settled.

The Beckhams are understood to still be hopeful that one day the feud will resolve. A friend previously said they would “always be there” for their son. The feud blew up after Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations in London.

The Mirror revealed last week how Brooklyn was still in touch with both sets of grandparents. A source said: “While things between him and his parents are over… Brooklyn is still very fond of his grandparents. There is a lot of love for them, and that has never faltered.”

A particular low point came when they failed to invite the Beckhams to see them renew their wedding vows, three years on from tying the knot. Speaking about the ceremony last August, Brooklyn said: “We just wanted a really beautiful experience.To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun.”

The personal trainer has vowed to be an “open book” after claims he cheated on his ex, Tanya Manhenga, whilst on a lads’ holiday

Love Island Shaq Muhammad says he has “nothing to hide” after claims he cheated on his ex, Tanya Manhenga, whilst on a lads’ holiday. The personal trainer has vowed to be an “open book” in the All Stars villa, and will be open to questions surrounding the break up.

Shaq and Tanya came fourth on the winter series of Love Island back in 2023, and they dated for a year. The pair split in 2024, stating they had “parted ways” and wished each other “the best”. But Tanya said she became suspicious after Shaq returned from a lads’ holiday to Miami with fellow islander Dami Hope.

Speaking to The Mirror ahead of his All Stars appearance, Shaq says he isn’t worried about other islanders bringing up his past.

He told us: “I’m not worried about anything coming up. If anyone wants to know the truth, or what happened, I have nothing to hide. They can ask me. I’d rather someone ask me directly than speculate or have that assumption of me without speaking to me first.

“If they want to speak about past relationships, I have nothing to hide and I’m going to be open and honest about it. If I’m trying to find a relationship, which I am, I don’t want to start it with hard truths or any lies. I’m going to be an open book and see what happens.”

Speaking on a livestream last year, Tanya said she had “a feeling in her stomach” that something wasn’t right when Shaq returned from his trip.

She said: “I had a feeling in my stomach that something was like… I just knew it, he was acting very normal. Nothing was off. I just was like, something’s not right.

“So we went home, get home. Now I’m like, oh, you know, questioning him. I’m like, I’m gonna ask you one time did you do anything while you were in America? He said no babe I didn’t do anything, and I said ‘ok can I have your phone?’ The long story short is, everything was on the phone, guys. I was like, that was that.”

However, Shaq denied cheating on Tanya, insisting he did ‘nothing sexual’. Taking to TikTok, Shaq said: “I want to make something abundantly clear. I did not, while I was with Tanya, I did not have sex with anyone. I didn’t kiss anyone. I didn’t do anything sexual with anyone.

“While I was in Miami and on holiday, I did certain things that disrespected her boundaries, and I can hold my hands up to that, but in terms of actually sleeping with someone or doing anything sexual, that never happened.

“Now, I’m man enough to admit my mistakes and where I gone wrong in a relationship or anything, but it’s not fair to villainise other people or bring them into my situation when they have literally nothing to do with it.”

Shaq says he and Tanya are “on good terms”, adding, “There is no bad blood there. I think she wants the best for me, and I want the best for her.”

Shaq has high hopes of finding love during his second stint in the villa, which will air on Monday. He said: “I’m mentally ready to settle down, be in a relationship, have marriage and kids. I’m very traditional in that sense. That’s the end goal. My mum is looking at venues as we speak. When I get back she might have a list of venues and suit tailors – she is very on it!”

Claudia’s Friday night The Traitors knit is one of her most affordable looks yet

View 3 Images

What did we ever do on a cold, bleak January day without The Traitors? We’re delighted the show is back, and even more delighted we’re back seeing Claudia Winkleman’s Scottish Highlands style. Though many of her looks are often a little out of our price bracket, tonight, for the Friday 9th show, the presenter is wearing something that’s in all of our budgets: an on-sale £40 knit from a high street store.

The exact buy is COS’ Striped Brushed Mohair Crew Neck Jumper, which usually retails for £110 but is on sale for £40. However, within minutes of the jumper details dropping, it sold out. It’s hardly surprising, considering The Traitors fans have a habit of tracking down Claude’s best pieces pretty quickly. However, if you love the look and want to bag a similar buy, check out M&S’s Alpaca Blend Striped Textured Relaxed Jumper for £55, which is similar in stripe pattern and premium fabric, or AllSaints’ Onyx Jumper, slightly more expensive at £170 but a great colour match.

If you did manage to score this bargain knit, you’ll be getting plenty of bang for your buck when it comes to quality. A classic crew neck at heart, it’s been given a bit more personality with soft stripes, a brushed finish and a relaxed shape that drapes rather than clings. The dropped shoulders and rounded sleeves give it that cosy, thrown-on feel, while the mohair and merino blend makes it properly soft without feeling heavy.

Since the knit already has an oversized cut, you shouldn’t need to size up too much, unless you like to be draped in fabric. Considering how cold this week has been, a cosy mohair jumper is a smart investment for the month.

We got an early heads up on tonight’s look thanks to Claudia’s social media, where she posted a teaser snap of her look to the appreciation of her legions of fans.

“The best shoes on earth. We’re on tonight at 8pm,” she captions the carousel of snaps, where she can be seen wearing the COS burgundy stripe jumper.

The rest of Claudia’s outfit is equally as noteworthy, but in particular, her shoes. She styles a pair of monochrome brogues. that have been specially altered to read ‘Faithful’ and ‘Traitor’ on each toe, with a pair of oversized black trousers. With her glossy hair tied up into a high, sleek ponytail, the overall look is androgynous and very cool.
