Orlando Bloom was present at Bezos’ wedding, but Katy Perry was not. Now, a relationship expert shares the best ways to deal with losing friends following a breakup.

All eyes were on Venice last weekend as former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos tied the knot with former journalist Lauren Sanchez (now Lauren Bezos) in front of a star-studded guest list. However, there was one absence that was particularly noted.

Pop singer Katy Perry was not among the famous faces decorating the aisle – despite having recently gone into space with Lauren on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket. Although Katy was performing her Lifetimes Tour in Australia that weekend, her absence still caused speculation – especially seeing Orlando Bloom was in attendance after the pair’s alleged split.

One of the most talked-about romances in pop culture was between Katy and Orlando. After a mutually beneficial exchange at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016, the pair quickly struck up a relationship, which became official in May 2016. However, the relationship stumbled after the pair abruptly ended their relationship in 2017.

Then, on Valentine’s Day, they got engaged, and Katy confirmed that she was pregnant with Orlando’s child a year later. Before Covid struck, the pair were forced to postpone their wedding in Japan until they were wed. They gave birth to their first daughter in the summer of 2020.

However, five years on and the pair are allegedly no longer together after a decade of dating. A source told US Weekly : “Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable.” Their last sighting together was March 2025 at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

New bride Lauren mentioned how much she missed Katy on social media. Under a series of Instagram pictures posted by Katy’s account on June 27 showcasing highlights from her Australia tour, Lauren commented: “We miss you Katy.”

Of course, it’s still unclear whether Katy’s absence from the nuptials resulted from Orlando’s presence. However, it still has people talking about it on the internet: How do you cope with a breakup?

These relationship fractures can become even more glaringly obvious after a wedding, but they can still arise when planning group hangouts or dinner parties. In the wake of a messy breakup, the majority of us have made the painfully awkward choice between inviting two friends.

Hope Flynn is a relationship expert and the founder of So What? She reassures people that feeling hurt and conflicted is completely normal: “Losing friends after a breakup is more common than people realise and it can come as an unexpected second wave of grief.

Friends may feel uneasy about how to adjust after sharing a social circle with your ex, and some may distance themselves from it unintentionally.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that a friend’s absence is not always malicious, regardless of how hurtful it may be. Hope continues, “Hope adds:” Often, people find it difficult to come out during these emotional transitions, which can make one of the partners feel isolated.

“That being said, this time frequently reveals which friendships have true connections and care. Some relationships may fade peacefully, but others will deepen, giving people new insight.

Additionally, it might provide you with much-needed downtime. Hope goes on to say, “It’s also a chance to reconnect with yourself outside of the relationship and to begin building a network of friends that’s a reflection of who you are now, not just who you were as a couple.”

Our beauty editor says, “I’ve got dozens of expensive perfumes, but these easy-to-wear £25 summer scents are the ones I’m reaching for every day, and they’re getting me so many compliments,” but I’ve got to have so many.”

I have hundreds of pounds worth of perfumes on my dressing table, including those from Jo Malone London, Maison Margiela Replica, Glossier, and other expensive brands, but recently I’ve been skipping all of them and choosing one particular brand of body mist instead, which are both for less money.

I’ve turned my head away from PHLUR’s Hair &amp, Body Fragrance Mists’ pricey, Instagrammable bottles of mostly gourmand or skin scents, which have become one of my all-time favorites for wearing scent. The price range for 88.7ml bottles starts at £25. The new Beach Skin is my current favorite, followed closely behind by Vanilla Nectar, and if you’re looking for a summery, irresistible new scent, I think these are worth trying out.

Meghan Markle’s signature dewy face cream is available in a lighter version, making it ideal for summer.

First and foremost, they smell fantastic. Beach Skin is a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, and a little bit musky, reminiscent of warm seabed skin, sun cream, and sand between your toes, according to one of my favorite perfume types. It’s very similar to Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk but costs a lot less. If you’re familiar with it, you can get it for a 30-ml bottle for only £52.70. My boyfriend frequently compliments PLURU’s Beach Skin, which is unusual.

Online retailers currently only sell smaller bottles of Beach Skin, but I have a supersized 236.5ml bottle for £38.

While PHLUR’s Vanilla Nectar has notes of papaya, apricot, peach blossom, and honeyed amber, it has much more fruit than the brand’s vanilla nectar, which still has the “skin-like” base notes that it does so well.

You don’t have to be particularly sentimental about using these PHLUR body mists, which is another plus. I don’t feel like I need to “save them for the best” because the bottles are plastic and can be easily tossed into a handbag or beach bag. When I need a quick dose of perfume, I spritz Beach Skin on my desk several times throughout the day.

However, using body mists instead of “traditional” perfumes means that the scent is much lighter and won’t last as long on the skin, hair, or clothes. You might find that you finish your big bottle more quickly than you anticipated because of the cost, scent, and mini-moment of joy it brings me, so I’m sure you’ll need more regular top-ups. This is definitely in my opinion if you like a light, beachy summer scent.

You could try Jo Malone London’s new Beach Blossom Cologne, which costs $86, or Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche Skinscent, which is currently down 25% and costs less than that.

This Limited Edition Cheirosa Hair &amp, Body Perfume Mist Discovery Set contains four of Sol de Janeiro’s body mists, which are also very popular. You can try four of them for £26.60.

Christine McGuinness, a former Celebs Go Dating participant, opened up about her concerns on her Situationships podcast about her prior experiences using dating apps.

Podcast host Christine McGuinness has shared her thoughts on dating apps after revealing that she’s never used one. She’s revealed that she’s concerned over one aspect, which she said she would be “petrified” of.

Christine, 37, has spoken about dating in the years since it was announced that she had split from Paddy McGuinness in 2022. She even briefly took part in the new series of Celebs Go Dating, which is yet to air on E4, and is expected to return in the finale.

She’s now giving fans an insight into her personal life on the new BBC podcast Situationships with Sophie and Christine, which launched earlier this month. Christine co-hosts the newly launched podcast with author Sophie Gravia.

A discussion about dating apps in the first episode saw Christine open up about her concerns. It came after the mention of ‘catfishing’ and Sophie recalling a date with someone who was “not all all” how she had expected them to look based on the photos that had been on his profile.

Christine posed the question, “Do you not think that someone is who they say they are or do you not check that they are?” after revealing that she had never been on a dating app. Sophie, who is currently dating, responded by saying she would never use dating apps and that she had never been.

Then, according to Christine, “I would be terrified of who could show up and who I’m talking to, and yeah, it scares me.” After that, Sophie continued to say, “I think they will become out of fashion.” Everyone is getting tired, in my opinion.

Christine continued, “I think it should come with something like… almost like a TripAdvisor… like a review thing.” Perhaps you’d like to read reviews from other people’s ex-partners or something.

After talking about the subject together, Christine said, “Imagine what other people’s exes would think of them.” She made fun of the fact that “mine, obviously, would all be five star reviews.”

Sophie did, however, acknowledge that some potential partners had different views of her boyfriend. She claimed that the way I’ve behaved in the past toward some people because I don’t necessarily like them was inexact.

It’s a part of the problem, Christine asserted on the podcast. How do you get out of dating and what have you really struggled with, in my opinion? because I wouldn’t want to cause a stir among anyone.

Christine had previously discussed dating in the episode after it was revealed three years ago that she had split from Paddy. It took her a while to even consider dating, she told her co-host Sophie.

Christine described how she first dates someone she had briefly met before “friendships had blurred the lines” and then fell into some “situationships” where “friendships had blurred the lines.” She claimed that they exchanged months of social media content before going on a date. My first true date ever, ever with a person I didn’t know, she said. But I felt at ease after messaging for those months.

BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds are the broadcasters of Situationships with Sophie and Christine.

While out in central London, a third Strictly Come Dancing star had their phone taken. They revealed in a post shared online that their phone had traveled the world.

Another Strictly Come Dancing star was robbed in London after their phone was revealed. Michelle Tsiakkas and Annabel Croft both gave Instagram followers warnings about their stolen phones earlier this month.

Michelle, 29, told fans having her phone stolen was ‘traumatising’ and said she felt ‘awful, scared and helpless’ when it happened. She explained that she was simply going about her day when a criminal whizzed past her on an electric bike and snatched her phone straight from her hand.

The actress claimed that she was driving around Covent Garden in the early morning hours while visiting the dentist. Additionally, Annabel Croft recently recalled the harrowing incident in which she was mugged in broad daylight in London.

The brave star has since spoken out to make sure others don’t experience the same fate because she was the victim of a crime. When the incident happened, Annabel, who also competed in the 2023 series with Johannes Radebe, said she was waiting for a taxi.

Annabel described the incident in detail and thanked those who came to her aid in an Instagram post. People who are alone in London were just warned, “I just wanted to let you know.” She wrote, “Just got mugged waiting for a taxi outside King’s Cross St. Pancras.”

The man was wearing a black balaclava while riding a bike. He slammed straight at me and removed my phone. I got it back after he rode away with it, but luckily he dropped it. “Terrifying” added Anne. There are some lovely people out there, she continued. A lovely gentleman fortunately witnessed it and intervened to assist me. Who you are, I say thank you.

The new Strictly curse didn’t stop with Annabel as Seann Walsh recently revealed his phone was stolen in a post shared on his Instagram Stories.

He added that his phone was stolen (yes, out of my hand, and yes, I live in Lond) about a week ago, and that it is now in China if anyone happens to pass by. This is in addition to a screenshot from the Find My app, which shows his phone in Guangdong, China.

The comedian responded to the comedian’s request to write a book called “It could only happen to me,” saying, “If there are any publishers following me, I’m open to this, but it will be a very long book. It’s referred to as “Typical.”

Unaccustomed Londoners have been misled by the alarming rise in mobile phone theft. In the city over the past four years, 231, 000 phone thefts and robberies have been reported according to new statistics released this month.

St James’s Park, where Piccadilly and Haymarket meet Pall Mall and Clarence House, as well as some of the West End, were identified as hotspots in London thanks to an analysis by The Times.

According to figures released by Scotland Yard, robberies increased by 20% year over year, with 81,256 mobile phone crimes recorded in 2023. Additionally, according to the statistics, roughly 37 people are stealing their phones from the streets of the capital each day.

The Vivienne, a tragic drag sensation who went by the real James Lee Williams name, was the subject of a misadventure at today’s inquest.

RuPaul’s Drag Race star The Vivienne was discovered in a ‘murky’ bathtub by a neighbour after lying dead in the water for a couple of days, an inquest into their death has heard.

The tragic star, whose real name was James Lee Williams, died aged 32 earlier this year, stunning the showbiz world. On January 6, Cheshire Police said officers had been called to an address in Chorlton-by-Backford, near Chester, on the previous day following reports of a sudden death.

According to the coroner, James’ death was likely on Friday night based on the best of all possible circumstances and wasn’t discovered until Sunday. Nearby, five empty bags reportedly containing the drug were discovered. Coroner Jacqueline Devonish stated in her delivered verdict, “I am satisfied that James Lee Williams’ death was a misadventure. He took ketamine, but he had no idea how to end his own life.

Janine Gobold was informed when their friends contacted him about their incident at Cheshire Coroner’s Court today. After bringing her son into the home, she made the decision to use her key to access the TV show favorite.

She claimed in court that Ryan and I were calling each other names in the living room when we went into the kitchen and there was no response. The lights were on throughout. Ryan turned right as we reached the top of the stairs. There is a door leading to James’ bedroom, which is located there.

When I first glanced at James’ bed, which was completely ruffled, I assumed that Mr. Williams’ dog had ragged the quilt on the bed. When I went into the bathroom and saw James in the bath, he just appeared to be sleeping, I then went past James’ bed.

I reached out and grabbed their heads to prevent their faces from falling into the water. I pleaded for Ryan, telling them to call an ambulance and get some assistance. I kept talking to James because I didn’t want their faces in the water. When Ryan entered the room, he said, “Mum, I can’t come in.

She inquired about the patient and asked me to try and remove her from the bath, so I gently lay James back to take the call from the 999. I told Ryan to go get my partner Mike after attempting to lift his weight off of him. I advised him to call Bobby and that we needed assistance. Then I just sat down with James and checked that their head wasn’t caught in the water.

The performer’s body was interred in a church in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, North Wales, where they are from originally. The drag star’s family confirmed their death in March from a cardiac arrest brought on by taking ketamine.

The senior investigating officer in the James death, DS Thomas Philpotts, describes using the restroom. He had a suspicion that he had been in the dead for some time. The officer wanted to know if anything about the officer’s investigation involved any suspects or third parties. He conducted a house search.

He claims that a small bag that appeared to have previously contained drugs was discovered while searching James’ bedroom. James’ phone was next to the bathroom’s sink, and there was a bin with several more packets of suspected drug in it.

He believes James allegedly used them before he even started using the bathroom. He claims that James had been taking a bath since Friday night despite what I had been told. He asserts that his hypotheses suggested that James had probably perished from a medical episode, possibly brought on by drug use, or perhaps drowned in the bath. He claims there were no suspicious circumstances or third-parties’ involvement.

Following their shocking behavior on stage at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan’s agent has been fired. During their Worthy Farm festival set, the band sparked controversy.

They chanted “death to the IDF” from the stage during their performance on Saturday at West Holts, which caused a stir between Glastonbury founder Emily Eavis and the BBC. Both politicians and the general public criticized their statements.

The Ipswich-based duo no longer appear on United Talent Agency’s website, having previously been there. Before it was decided Bob Vylan would be dropped, executives had reportedly spoken over the weekend, according to Deadline, and they are no longer on their talent list.

The BBC said in a statement that they should have canceled Bob Vylan’s live show today. Before the BBC eventually removed the set, it was uploaded to iPlayer and remained there for more than five hours.

The BBC stated in a statement that “Millions of people tuned in to watch Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC’s output,” but one of our live performances featured offensive comments.

The BBC “respects freedom of expression but is firmly opposed to incitement to violence.” The antisemitic sentiments that Bob Vylan expressed were completely unacceptable and should not be broadcast on television. We applaud Glastonbury’s criticism of the performance. The West Holts stage was streamed live on BBC iPlayer as part of the performance.

They continued, “Our editorial guidelines were followed by the decision on Saturday to issue a warning on the screen while streaming online. Additionally, we made the decision to not provide the performance for free. Although the team was performing live, it is possible that we should have retracted the stream prior to the performance. We regret that it wasn’t possible. In light of this weekend, we will review our guidelines for live events to make sure teams are informed of when it is acceptable to maintain output on air.

Bobby Vylan took to Instagram to defiantly declare, “I said what I said, “along with a lengthy statement where he wrote about the state of school dinners and teaching our children to” speak up for the change they want.”

We are horrified by the statements made by Bob Vylan onstage at the West Holts over the weekend, said Glastonbury manager Emily Eavis in a statement over the weekend. There is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech, or incitement to violence, and their chants have clearly crossed the line.
