Love Island star Zachariah Noble is reportedly dating social media influencer Ava Hirons, three months after his split from Molly Marsh. Over the summer, TV personality Molly announced she had parted ways with Zach after falling for each other two years prior.

Molly and Zach met on the tenth series of the ITV2 show, which aired in 2023. They remained together after leaving the villa, but briefly separated last year before rekindling their romance months later. However, they ended things again in July, with Molly telling fans that they remain “friends”.

Three months later, it has been said Zach moved on with influencer Ava – who is the daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons.

The two reportedly grew close after going on a number of romantic dates. “It’s early days, but Ava and Zach have been casually dating,” an insider said.

“There was an instant spark there and they really fancy each other,” they told The Sun, before claiming Zach isn’t ‘rushing into anything serious’ as he only recently got out of a relationship.

The Mirror have reached out to Ava and Zach’s reps for comment.

After Zach and Molly split up, she took to her Instagram Stories to confirm the sad news, writing: “I just want to confirm the rumours. Myself and Zac have split up and are no longer together.

“We have parted ways as friends and thank you all for your love and support of our relationship over the past 2 years.”

A source told the Sun at the time that “nothing bad” had happened between them. The source said: “They just made the decision to split on a mutual basis. The pair have no bad blood between them and will continue to be friends.”

The source added that the exes wanted to “cherish” the memories that they made together. They concluded: “Sometimes relationships work, and sometimes they don’t but they want to continue to be friends and cherish the couple of years they have spent together and are both grateful for Love Island bringing them into each others lives.”

Molly and Zachariah were original islanders on Love Island in 2023, but the former’s time was cut short when she was dumped from the villa just weeks in. She left after Kady McDermott coupled up with Zachariah upon her arrival.

A twist for Casa Amor however saw Molly return just days after her departure. She then ended up recoupling with Zachariah and the pair later reached the final. They placed fourth, with Jess Harding and Sammy Root winning instead.

Jack Whitehall is helping to honour Nicholas Lyndhurt’s late son Archie via his new film that could help make Archie’s dreams come true

Jack Whitehall’s new film is paying tribute to Archie Lyndhurst, the late teenage son of Only Fools and Horses legend Nicholas Lyndhurst who died five years ago.

Jack first met Archie when they were both on sitcom Bad Education, playing the older and younger versions of inept teacher Alfie Wickers. But Archie’s true dream was to release clothing line from his streetwear label Fated To Pretend.

Now, Jack is said to be paying his respects to Archie by appearing in a cameo in a film that is launching the teen’s fashion label. In the film, which is called Come With One Heart and can be found on the label’s YouTube page, several models and skateboarders wearing Fated To Pretend clothing can be seen.

Towards the middle of the 6-minute clip, several shoppers queue outside a shop decked out in the label’s clothing and manned by a doorman, played by Jack.

A source said to The Sun: “Archie’s fashion brand was his big passion and his loved ones were determined to help see it flourish in his memory. A lot of hard work has gone into it and Jack was proud to play a small role.”

The video, which went up a day ago, also features Nikki Lilly, a model and actress who starred in the CBBC show Nikki Lilly Meets… where she interviews celebrities such as Andy Murray. Archie was also in a CBBC show called So Awkward.

At the time of his death, Archie was dating Nethra Tilakumara, his So Awkward co-star. He had also developed a close relationship with the Whitehall family, and delivered groceries to Jack’s parents when they were unable to leave their house during lockdown.

Sadly, in 2020, when Archie was only 19, he suffered a brain heamorrhage in his sleep and died. The heamorrhage was caused by acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

A few days later, Nicholas, who is most famous for playing Rodney on Only Fools and Horses, and his wife Lucy put out a statement saying they were “utterly grief stricken and respectfully request privacy”.

A month after Archie’s death, his girlfriend Nethra paid a tribute to Archie via her Instagram. She posted a video compiled from clips from throughout his life and wrote in the caption: “Working with Archie and knowing him as the wonderful, incredible person he is, was the best gift and a true blessing that I have ever received.”

She added: “He never knew how great he was but I have comfort in knowing the great ones never do. Thank you so much for coming on this journey with us.

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Archie loved telling stories and making people laugh…and boy did he succeed every single time X”

Taylor Swift revealed exactly what she said while giving a speech at pal Selena Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco.

The 33-year-old former Disney darling tied the knot with producer Benny last month, and the Anti-Hero songstress took to the microphone at the reception to deliver a cheeky tribute to her long-standing mate.

Chatting on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Taylor disclosed: “I did do some light teasing about the way that we used to dress in 2008, the year that we met. ‘Cause we met when we were teenagers in 2008, it was quite a year. Let me tell you. And so I talked a little bit about 2008. I talked about how happy I am for her and how beautiful it’s been to get to be part of her life.”

Taylor clarified that instead of bringing up her own romance with Travis Kelce, she maintained the spotlight on her pal. She insisted: “I did not make it about me.

“I got to see her be the most elegant, gorgeous, not only bride, but just vision that I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful as her on her wedding day.”

The 35-year-old chart-topper initially encountered the Only Murders In The Building star through Joe and Nick Jonas, whom they were romantically linked with at the time.

Speaking on KISS FM UK in 2017, Selena had previously shared: “We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical.

“It was amazing, because [Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots.

“And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked. It was the best thing we got out of those relationships.'”.

Selena’s wedding was a star-studded event, and Taylor has confessed that it “will be hard to keep” her famous mate Ed Sheeran from performing at her own wedding.

Speaking to the UK’s Hits Radio Breakfast Show, she said: “Oh, it would be hard to keep him from it, I think.

“That’s the thing, he’s like, ‘I’m always being asked to sing at weddings.’ It’s like: ‘Ed, if there is a stage, you know you’ll be on it.'”.

“He knows what people want, and he wants to give people what they want.

“That’s the fun thing about our friendship – we both love performing, and we love writing and singing. We’re like: ‘Oh, don’t make me sing … alright!'”

Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood has said she would never stop fans from gossiping about her relationship, especially after Pete Wicks drama

View 3 Images

Olivia Attwood has revealed why she would never tell fans not gossip about her marriage to Bradley Dack, especially after her scandalous Ibiza trip earlier this year.

The former Love Island star sparked controversy over the summer after she was snapped getting cuddly with friend Pete Wicks whilst on holiday together in Ibiza.

The photos were reported to have made Bradley Dack, Olivia’s husband, furious, and Olivia later admitted that she could understand why he was “upset”, confessing that her marriage was a “work in progress”.

Now, in a new interview, she has said “everyone has stuff going on behind-the-scenes” and that she would never “condemn people for gossiping about my relationship”.

She told Hello!: “Sometimes the people that have the shiniest exterior have the most f***ed up stuff going on. Everyone ahs stuff going on behind-the-scenes and they don’t talk about it, so when it comes to your own relationship, you have to give yourself a break.”

Olivia added that the reality TV industry is “weirder” than most and said she doesn’t blame fans for speculating about her relationship because she does the same.

“Weirder things happen in this industry than any other industry. I don’t condemn people for gossiping about my relationship because I love gossiping about other people.”

Rumours about Olivia’s marriage circulated after she was seen cosying up to Pete. Opening up about the headlines and articles discussing her relationship, she admitted she didn’t have the “perfect relationship”.

She told press: “Me and Brad never pretend to have a perfect relationship, we have been up, down, left, backwards, and the last six months have been really challenging for us. My work and his work take precedence over everything, we have to navigate our relationship all the time. It’s the boring side of being an adult in a long-term relationship, we constantly have to work at it and that’s just the truth.

“No one else really wants to say that part out loud but it is difficult at times. It’s great to post a picture on Instagram but we’re transparent people and it’s not always like that. There are ups and downs, there are things on his side which haven’t been great, there’s a mix of things. I have f***ed up and done stuff, Brad has f***ed up. It’s really easy to pretend you’re perfect but no one is if you just dig a little deeper.”

Some have wondered if those ups and downs are worse than Olivia is letting on. But she has assured fans that it’s not that dire, and that the photos are nothing but pics of two friends.

“People were like, ‘Oh my God, they’re getting a divorce because Pete hugged her’, but that’s not the case. Also, Pete is hugging me, I was just there!

“It was just a holiday to Ibiza, who knew it would cause so much trouble? I was there with KISS, which is why Pete was there and we were hosting for them. We hosted an O Beach event and a couple of my pals joined and we had a few extra days.”

Jennifer Lopez, 53, and Ben Affleck, 53, were married for two years before their shock divorce earlier this year, but on Monday night in New York they put on a united front

Could the never-ending love story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck be getting a part three?

The Hollywood power couple surprised the world when they announced they were marrying almost twenty years after first falling in love. A story fit for a movie script, it wasn’t to be, and their divorce was finalised in January after just two and a half years of marriage.

But on Monday night in New York they proved the friendliest of exes, making a joint appearance at the film premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman in New York City.

Jennifer, 53, plays the lead role and 53-year-old Ben’s production company Artists Equity made it. Embracing like old friends and gushing over each other just nine months after their shock divorce, the cosy display has got people asking – could there be a chance of a threequel?

Bennifer 3.0 would be quite the tale – giving the on-off love story of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton a run for its money.

Good Will Hunting star Ben met singer Jen in 2002 on the set of their movie, Gigli. J-Lo was married to second husband Cris Judd at the time but said she felt sparks immediately with Ben. “I really felt when I met Ben, ‘OK, this is it’,” she told at the time.

The ultimate showbiz pair, they were inseparable. Ben even featured in J-Lo’s video for Jenny From The Block in that infamous yacht scene. They soon got engaged but postponed their wedding in 2003 and split the following year.

Both moved on, with Ben marrying another Jen, 13 Going On 30 actress Jennifer Garner. They have children Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Sam, 13. His long-standing alcohol addiction put their relationship under huge strain and the couple went their separate ways in 2015 after he was accused of an affair with a nanny, which he denied.

In the meantime, J-Lo walked down the aisle with singer Marc Anthony. They had twins Max and Emma, now 17. They divorced in 2014, three years after separating.

Showbiz fans rejoiced when Bennifer reunited in 2021 in the ultimate Hollywood love story. “It was so painful after we broke up (the first time),” said J-Lo at the time.

“Once we called off that wedding 20 years ago, it was the biggest heartbreak of my life. I honestly felt like I was going to die. It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending. It’s the most would-never-happen-in-Hollywood ending.”

The couple married at a Las Vegas chapel in July 2022, followed by a second ceremony in Georgia the following month. But it wasn’t all happy in paradise and tensions between the couple were apparent in J-Lo’s Amazon Prime documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

In it, she spoke candidly about her love life, whilst Ben looked on awkwardly, calling their private life “sacred”. The two looked like they were on completely different pages.

Cracks were also apparent during the 2023 Grammys, where J-Lo was pictured berating her husband whilst he looked bored. It all got too much for the pair, with J-Lo filing for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.

The pair hadn’t been seen for months together before the announcement, with Ben was missing from singer Jen’s Bridgerton-inspired 55th birthday party. His purchase of a £16million Los Angeles bachelor pad that same day was said to be a “stab in the heart” for his wife.

Their marriage was unravelling as the pair worked on a musical remake of the 1976 novel Kiss of the Spider Woman together. Despite the turmoil, Jen looked back on the time with a positive outlook.

“Every moment on set, and every moment I was doing this role, I was so happy,” she explained. “And then back home, it was not great. “But you get through it. Honestly, I have to say, it was the best thing that ever happened to me, because it… helped me grow in a way that I needed to grow, become more self-aware.”

Ben insisted their was “no scandal” behind their divorce. “I have nothing but respect,” he said about his former wife to GQ. “Yeah, there’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue.”

Since going their separate ways, their families have remained close. Sources close to the former couple say they have fought hard to keep things civil for the sake of their kids.

At Monday’s premiere, the pair spoke of their admiration for each other. “She’s amazing in the movie,” said Ben. Jen said: “If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have gotten made. And I will always give him that credit.”

Later on in the extended trailer on YouTube, Molly and Tommy are seeing smiling coyly before Molly says “Tommy and I are back together, yes. But I never know what tomorrow is going to bring,” referring to Tommy’s past woes.

This comes after it was revealed that Molly reportedly bans ‘any mention’ of her fiancé Tommy Fury at her events. Staff working at her events and others are understood to be warned not to asked the Love Island star, who recently reunited with boxer Tommy after a brief split last year, about him.

It has been reported that staff members at her recent L’Oreal pop-up event in central London were repeatedly told not to mention Tommy if they crossed paths with the star during the event.

Molly is now opening up in the next instalment of her fly on the wall series. Similar to the first instalment, which premiered back in January, viewers can expect to follow Molly-Mae as she tackles everything from her public relationship with Tommy to mothering their daughter Bambi.

The official synopsis teases: “With exclusive access, Molly embarks on an exciting new chapter as she takes her business empire to the next level while navigating the challenges of motherhood under the scrutiny of millions.” It continues: “Raw, relatable, and inspiring, this series reveals the insecurities and hopes of a young mum balancing fame and family.”

Series one focused a lot on their split after he admitted to issues with drinking, but the series ended with them having enjoyed a holiday together and trying to make the best of a fresh start.

Speaking at the end of series one, Molly said: “Things are looking so much better for us. I’m gonna start spending more time at Tommy’s house, keeping things slow and not rushing anything. But as always, I always say I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t think it’s gonna be a plain sailing future. I don’t. That’s just me being honest. I think we’re still gonna have bumps.

“The dream is still the same that, you know, we’ll get to a place one day when we will all be happy in that house together and have more children, hopefully, and just have a really nice, happy life together. That’s all I’ve ever wanted for us. I don’t want to get too excited, but I’m getting glimmers of what I always wanted, which is my family. I know we have got something completely worth saving.” As the credits rolled she added: “But you never know what’s around the corner!”

The first three episodes of the six-episode series will drop on October 18th, with the rest of the season set to release in early 2026. This won’t come as a surprise to fans who tuned into the first instalment, which was also released in two parts in January and May.

Behind It All season one was huge success and became the most-watched series on Prime Video by young women in the UK, aged between 18 and 34. It went on to win the National Television Award for Authored Documentary in September.

Molly-Mae reigned victorious over the likes of Flintoff, which tells the story of sporting legend Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff; and Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me, which dives into pro dancer Amy Dowden’s health battle.

* Molly-Mae: Behind It All Series 2 (Episodes 1–3) launches exclusively on Prime Video on 18th October. Episodes 4-6 episodes will follow in early 2026.
