Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel is said to have become Victoria’s new protégé.

Victoria, 51, is alleged to be “a massive fan” of Cruz, who Cruz began dating in the summer of 2024. The 30-year-old has since quietly risen through the ranks of social media influencers, landing endorsement deals with some of the most prestigious brands in the industry.

She has reportedly struck up a strong bond with Victoria, a fashion designer, while the mum’s relationship with Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz has deteriorated this year. The former member of the Spice Girls remains embroiled in a family feud with Brooklyn, 26, who this week brutally blocked his family on Instagram.

However, Jackie’s online popularity has increased significantly in recent years. Victoria has been a fervent supporter of Jackie since the beginning and has always seen her potential, according to a source close to the Beckhams. She was so eager to help her gain a well-known name in the sector.

Cruz, 20, jumped to his parents’ defence after Brooklyn, a former model, took aim at them with the social media snub. He is said to be grateful for his mother to have taken a special interest in Jackie and help shape her career, introducing her to top industry figures and propelling her to become a “big influencer”.

Victoria, who has built her empire from the ground up with an eponymous fashion brand and beauty line, is herselfno stranger to the power of social media. It has turbo-charged her sales to the point that one of her eyeliners is now selling every 30 seconds, reports the Daily Mail.

After launching Victoria Beckham Beauty in 2019, she enlisted PR agency CGC Global to help grow the brand’s global presence. CGC, which represents high-profile names including Hermès Beauty, Diptyque and Glossier, was also seen as the ideal partner to elevate Jackie’s profile. Victoria introduced her to CGC founder Clare Goodwin, confident she would be well looked after — a decision that has clearly paid off.

Major global brands have tapped Jackie for social media collaborations like Dior, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, and Pandora, and her rise has been nothing short of meteoric.

Her online following has nearly doubled since she began dating fellow singer Cruz. In just the past two months, she has added 30,000 Instagram followers, bringing her total to 192,000. While that still trails Cruz’s impressive 2.1 million followers, Jackie is rapidly establishing herself as a powerful influencer in her own right.

She can now make up to £10, 000 per sponsored post, according to industry insiders. Her recent collaborations with ASOS, Fendi, and Harrods further strengthen her influence.

Lily Allen, the singer of West End Girl, has revealed that she is experimenting with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy to help her deal with a financial compulsion.

Lily Allen has revealed she is currently in therapy to address what she has described as an unhealthy relationship with money, after admitting her spending habits have cost her large sums. The singer, 40, made the candid confession on her Miss Me? podcast alongside long time friend and co-host Miquita Oliver, explaining that she has been working through her addiction to shopping with the help of EMDR therapy.

Lily said she has been in treatment for several months and is beginning to understand how much her spending is tied to her self-worth. During the Christmas special episode, Lily explained that she recently used a therapy session to focus specifically on her compulsion to spend. She admitted that she often tries to get rid of money quickly because she struggles with feeling like she does not deserve it.

In her own words, Lily continued, explaining how EMDR therapy uses stimulation on both sides of the brain to help reframe harmful behaviors or traumatic experiences.

She claimed that she and I attempted to separate our two interests by discussing my spending and how it relates to my sense of self-worth yesterday. Let’s see how that turns out. The actress later stated, “I think I try to get rid of it because I don’t think I deserve it.”

She described the EMDR process as “life changing” and claimed to have started it about four or five months ago. According to Lily, the therapy is enabling her to separate emotional meaning from tangible objects.

The singer also mentioned how this process has helped her accept and refute the notion that expensive goods can increase her worth. The Nonmonogamummy hitmaker said EMDR has worked well for her, despite admitting she doesn’t fully understand the science behind it.

Lily confessed shortly after making a joke on the podcast about giving herself an expensive emerald ring, calling it a “little present” despite the obvious cost.

She was recently seen exiting a £120, 000 Porsche and carrying a £16, 500 Hermès handbag in London. Following a difficult time in her personal life, Lily’s admission about her struggles with overspending comes.

The star split from Stranger Things actor David Harbour late last year, with the pair confirming the end of their marriage in early 2025 following reports that David had been unfaithful during their relationship.

The couple originally got married in 2020 after meeting on the dating app Raya. The emotional fallout from the split inspired Lily’s latest album, West End Girl, which has been described as her most raw work to date.

The songs she wrote and recorded shortly after the breakup explore the betrayal that comes with broken promises.

Lily has spoken about the toll the separation took on her mental health, and previously shared that she checked into an £8,000 a week trauma facility to seek help for panic attacks after her marriage fell apart.

The singer has also admitted that she got a boob job after the split because of body confidence issues she experienced after losing weight quickly during this challenging time and imagining how she would look if she had gained it back.

She explained to The Observer, “I was concerned about becoming very bottom-heavy because I’ve always been very small up top.” I thought getting boobs would help me feel better about gaining weight. That was my justification.

Jake and Romy Reiner, the siblings’ parents, are still appreciative of the love and support they have received, according to a statement from their spokesperson, Jake, 34, and Romy, 27, respectively. Later on, they will share information about a memorial service in their parents’ name.

The When Harry Met Sally… director and his wife had previously been referred to as Jake and Romy’s “best friends.” Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are going through each day, according to a statement released last week.

No one should ever go through the horrifying and heartbreaking loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. They were our best friends, not just our parents.

When discussing the circumstances surrounding their deaths, the siblings continued to thank and thank people for their love and support.

We are appreciative of the kindness, condolences, and support we have received from people of all kinds, not just from our own families and friends.

After being charged with two counts of first-degree murder, their brother made his first court appearance last Wednesday (17.12.25).

Despite the venue’s regular opening to the public, Adam Peaty OBE and Holly Ramsay reportedly have booked out Bath Abbey for the weekend of their wedding.

Before their wedding, Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay were referred to as being “selfish.” On December 27th, the couple will tie the knot at Bath Abbey, a renowned landmark. Following Adam’s disagreement with his family, which caused his relatives to be dramatically uninvited, the upcoming ceremony has been drenched in drama.

Adam’s sister, Bethany, will reportedly be his only relative present on the big day as he exchanges his vows with Gordon Ramsay’s daughter. His mother, Caroline, was not invited to Holly’s hen party at Soho Farmhouse, which was attended by Bethany, Lady Victoria Beckham, and her mother, Tana Ramsay.

Locals are rumored to have labeled the newlywed couple as “selfish” as the big day draws nearer. The wedding venue has been kept closed to the public the entire day despite having a 90-minute wedding day planned. On the day, visitors will be prevented from entering or traveling close to the venue. The Bath Abbey website states that visitors are “closed for visiting” on December 27.

The cost of hiring a wedding venue is estimated to be around £2,500, but Adam and Holly claim to have spent significantly more to have the venue to themselves for the duration of the day. When your wedding service only lasts an hour and a half, “having the abbey for the entire day seems a bit selfish,” a source told The Sun.

The publication also claims that a security team will be in place to prevent members of the public from taking any pictures or videos of Holly and Adam. Around 200 guests, including Lady Victoria and Sir David Beckham, are expected to attend due to their close relationship with the Ramsay family.

However, the Abbey’s marriage comes with a unique twist. To marry there, the couple must have a “special connection” with the abbey. A strict list of requirements applies, including those who have a qualifying connection to the abbey, as well as congregation members and parishioners. The nature of Adam and Holly’s relationship is still undetermined.

Holly has been getting ready for their big day by taking a fancy trip to her father’s Mayfair, London, restaurant Lucky Cat. Up to £180 per person can eat at the restaurant’s “chef’s table.”

She was joined by her close friend and influencer, Elijah Winnington’s wife, and close friend Eve Winnington. The duo shared a photo of their dishes, which included sushi, caviar, and prawns while taking a selfie in the bathroom.

Caroline and Holly’s aunt, Louise, have been criticized by Adam’s aunt for not inviting Caroline to her hen do. However, Caroline later admitted she still loved her son and that he would always be welcome at home. She later acknowledged that she had been dealing with the brutal fallout.

She said, “I know it’s the end,” in a letter to her son. However, I ask that regardless of what happens in the future, Adam know that I love you, that your father loves you, and that we can talk to each other whenever we want to.

Nothing you did will not forgive me for. I’m so in love with you. I sincerely hope your marriage turns out well, and I sincerely hope that Holly and you have a successful union. I want everything to end, so I’m speaking out.

The Mirror has approached representatives for Adam and Holly.

Romy and Jake stated in a statement released last week that “words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are going through every day.” No one should ever go through the horrifying and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. They were our best friends, not just our parents.

In addition to expressing their gratitude for their love and support, the siblings made an appeal for “compassion and humanity” in relation to the circumstances surrounding their deaths. They continued, “We are appreciative of the kindness, condolences, and support we have received from people of all walks of life as well as from our loved ones.”

We now request respect and privacy, tolerance for speculation, and compassion and humanity for our parents.

Following his shocking passing, Rob received numerous stars’ tributes. In an interview that aired over the past week on CBS’s 60 Minutes, Kathy Bates was one of those who discussed her experience working with him. She recalled how her life changed after Rob cast her in Misery, a 1990 psychological horror movie, for which she received an Oscar for Best Actress.

She said, “If I hadn’t done “Misery,” George Bailey would have gone back and seen what his life would have been like if he hadn’t been there, “she said. Some of the friends I now have wouldn’t have existed. Without it, my life would not have been as rich. I’m not sure if I would have had a career in film and probably wouldn’t have left the theater. I’m a “pretty old guy,” I suppose.

While Jerry O’Connell, who was 11 when he was cast in the infamous 1986 coming-of-age drama Stand by Me, was shocked when the director invited him for lunch the following year.

He recalled, “Man, he took me out for lunch.” You get what I’m saying, he didn’t have to do that, right? Months passed since the release of the film. He had a busy lunch schedule and took a 12-year-old me. Just to say, “Thanks so much. What a fantastic film, “O’Connell recalled, with tears in his eyes.” You know, that lunch meant a lot to me? It’s just information that young people need to hear.

Despite approaching the age of 30, former EastEnders star Liam Hatch has addressed the criticism he faced when he was cast as a schoolboy in the illustrious BBC soap opera.

An EastEnders star has revealed the negative feedback they received regarding their controversial casting. Fans were completely perplexed when Liam Hatt, 29, was cast as Logan, a bully in the BBC soap opera last year.

Liam’s character, who played a Year 12 schoolboy who intimidated Amy Mitchel and Denzel Danes, was ten years older than the typical Year 12 English student who was between the ages of 16 and 17 at the time. Kate Oates and Chris Clenshaw introduced Liam, but the two characters only made one episode, which received a lot of negative feedback on social media.

Many viewers were shocked to discover his Instagram page, which boasts topless gym snaps and his annual birthday snap, which sees him posing nude as the camera takes a picture from behind. Now, the actor has spoken in depth about the backlash he faced.

“The grief I had from it, from Twitter – I sell mortgages, I’m 41, the oldest man alive,” he said. Liam joked: “I don’t look that old!” He went on to explain that he wasn’t 16 when he took on the role, saying: “I was 26.”

The athlete and actor added on the Rokman Podcast: “All my friends and family were like, Are you okay? ” in response to the response he received from friends and family. People are beating you up. Your appearance and age. Oh God, I’m not that bad, I was like. I’m certain that I use SPF daily. I appear attractive.

My dad said, “He’s on The Sun! ! !!” and my dad said, “We loved it.” On Page 3 of The Sun topless, I believe I’m the only man! He continued, “I always tell everyone that no matter how good or bad it is, you’ve done something because it’s happening.”

Fans were quick to share their opinions on social media when Liam’s episode premiered. One question was raised: “Why is this 44-year-old man picking fights with the neighborhood kids while wearing a school uniform? “Almost certain that this schoolboy sold me my mortgage,” this is a second penned.

Liam explained shortly after the criticism that the 44-year-old comment had persisted in his mind. Liam once told The Guardian, “I was staring in the mirror and thought, ‘Surely I can’t be looking 44, that’s five years younger than my dad!'” “

When Liam isn’t working out for his most recent HYROX challenge, some of his clients assumed he was 23 years old.

A few of my friends inquired as to whether I was okay, he continued. However, I am aware that you will have critics because I work in the performance and fitness sectors. That’s what an actor cares about as long as the performance depicts you as the character. You are focusing on the emotion rather than the appearance.

Liam also noted that, despite playing a younger role, times have completely changed since he was a Year 12 student. He explained that he attempted to “modernize” himself, including his posture and body language, because the younger generation of teenagers walk and talk more naturally.
