Jane Etta Pitt, the mother of Brad Pitt, passed away at the age of 84. Sydney, her granddaughter, shared a collection of vintage photos of Jane before reminiscing about her time as a “grammy” before making the announcement about the former school counsellor.

She remarked, “We were not yet ready for you to go, but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint makes things a little easier.” You already knew that Grammy had the biggest heart if you knew her. No questions were asked, she was deeply concerned for everyone and everything.

She taught me how to paint, how to lead with kindness, how to love Jesus in all circumstances, and how to find joy in the smallest things. She believed in fairness, putting others first, and doing good simply because it was the right thing to do, and she created the silliest games just to make us laugh.

The distraught granddaughter continued, “Every year before school, she gave each of us grandkids a “special day,” which was a day for us to do anything we wanted (and Papa had to accompany us, though I know he secretly loved it too).”

“Mine typically started with banana splits for breakfast, hours of playing Trouble, a craft project, going all-out with Papa, mini golf where she’d make a V with her feet to help me aim… (and somehow still beat me) and spending the night watching Paulie until we are asleep.

Sydney claimed there wasn’t a “limit” to the love she gave, adding that Jane had no trouble keeping up with all of her 14 grandchildren without skipping a beat.

Without her, I’m not sure how we can continue. But in every hummingbird, kind gesture, and brushstroke, I am certain that she is still present. She continued, “She was love in its purest form.” We were incredibly lucky to have her in our lives as we went through our teenage years, and I can tell you, “she lives on through each of us.”

In Sydney, Jane was photographed relaxing on a private jet, drinking a beverage, posing with her family for her 80th birthday, and embracing her husband William. Additionally, photos of Jane’s charitable work and favorite holidays were added by Sydney.

Jane’s granddaughter added a white heart emoji and the lake snap as captions to her Instagram stories. The actor’s late mother, William, raised him with her husband in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and Springfield, Missouri.

In a previous interview, Brad described growing up in Springfield as “surrounded by cornfields.”

He said, “Ten minutes outside of town, you start getting into forests, rivers, and the Ozark Mountains,” in a 2017 interview with GQ.

In 2012, Jane and Will joined Brad at the Oscars after making several red carpet appearances with her famous son.

Brad Pitt’s mother, Jane Etta Pitt, has died aged 84. The news about the former school counsellor was announced by her granddaughter, Sydney, who took to her Instagram page to share a carousel of throwback photos of Jane before reminiscing about her childhood with her ‘grammy’.

She wrote: “My sweet Grammy, Jane Etta, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier. If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart. She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked.

“She taught me how to paint, how to be strong, how to lead with kindness, to love Jesus through everything, and to find joy in the smallest things. She made up the silliest games just to make us laugh, and she believed in fairness, in putting others first, and doing good simply because it was the right thing to do.”

The heartbroken granddaughter added: “Every year before school, she gave each of us grandkids a “special day” which was a whole day to do whatever we wanted (and Papa had to go along with it… though I know he secretly loved it too).

“Mine usually started with banana splits for breakfast, hours of playing Trouble, a craft project obvi, riding every ride together at Silver Dollar City like the badass she was, dinner at Olive Garden with Papa, mini golf where she’d make a V with her feet to help me aim… (and somehow still beat me) and ending the night watching Paulie until we feel asleep.”

Sydney said Jane had no problem keeping up with all her 14 grandchildren ‘without missing a beat’, before adding there wasn’t a ‘limit’ to the love she gave.

“I don’t know how we move forward without her. But I know she’s still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form,” she added. “We were truly blessed to have her to love on growing up and I know she lives on through each of us.”

Sydney included snaps of Jane lounging in a lake with a drink, posing with family on her 80th birthday, relaxing on a private jet and hugging her husband William. Sydney also added snaps of Jane’s charity work as well as holiday memories.

Jane’s granddaughter added the lake snap onto her Instagram stories and wrote: “The sweetest guardian angel around,” along with a white heart emoji. The late mother of Brad raised the actor his his siblings in Shawnee, Oklahoma and Springfield, Missouri, with her husband William.

Brad previously opened up about growing up in Springfield and called it a rural area “surrounded by cornfields”.

After four years, Daisy May Cooper has announced her replacement and she will step down from her starring role in a popular TV show.

It’s been almost a decade since Daisy May Cooper found fame alongside her brother Charlie Cooper when they created the hit sitcom This Country. And since then, Daisy has gone on to even further success with Am I Being Unreasonable? whilst also making appearances on shows such as The Masked Singer and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

Since 2021, she has acted as Team Captain on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and featured alongside the likes of host Greg Davies, and Noel Fielding has appeared as a fellow team captain. But whilst her co-stars have all been confirmed to have signed on for the next series of Sky’s music-themed comedy panel game show, Daisy has quit and will be replaced by Sophie Wilan for series five, who previously stepped in when the comedienne was on maternity leave.

When its most recent batch of episodes airs this autumn, Jamali Maddix will make her return as a regular panellist. The series, which was revived by Sky in 2021 following a nearly 20-year run on BBC Two, will feature themes spanning the nineties, noughties, as well as girl bands, boy bands, and rock groups.

Viewers can also expect to see a host of celebrity guests taking part when the cult classic returns to screens for its latest outing. It comes after Gary Lineker ‘signs a huge deal with ITV to host new show’ after BBC exit.

Phil Edgar-Jones, director of Sky Arts and Entertainment, stated: “It’s the starriest line-up you could hope for this year on Buzzcocks with something to satisfy every musical taste from the nineties through the noughties through boy and girl bands right to the present day.” The perfect fourth album would be a healthy dose of unpredictability and mad comedy.

Daisy’s Buzzcocks axing comes after she reportedly stepped down from Celebrity Traitors, which is also set to air in the autumn. A source said at the time: “It’s caused producers a real headache as it’s so close to filming.

“They’d banked on Daisy and Charlie being TV gold so it’s disappointing they won’t be a part of the first Celebrity Traitors. They’re hilarious and brilliant on telly together – plus being brother and sister would have brought a really interesting element to the series.” Away from the world of showbiz, the BAFTA-winning actress welcomed baby Benji with partner Anthony Huggins, 45, in June. She also has Pip, six, and Jack, three, from a previous relationship. Charlie, 35, has two children with his wife Leighanne.

Daisy and Will Weston tied the knot in The Cotswolds in September 2019, and they are “both devoted parents” to their second child. After the Covid-19 lockdown, they both decided to end their marriages in 2021. Benji’s father, Anthony Huggins, is now dating her new partner, who is also known as Daisy. The couple had a baby a year ago when they met on the dating app Hinge in December 2021.

Daisy shared the news via Instagram with the caption “You came a little earlier than we expected and gave me the worst post-op constipation that I nearly had to call the Samaritans, but my god you are perfect” when her youngest son was born.

“I can’t thank @deliverysuitegrh enough. You did a wonderful service to us in such a difficult situation. When Daisy and Anthony packed on a PDA while going to a store in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, to buy baby clothes, Daisy announced her pregnancy in March of last year.

The actress’s bump was clearly visible in a figure-hugging all-black appearance as the couple held hands as they left for a shopping trip. Daisy was seen heartily laughing as the pair went about their day while making the most of the sunny weather and were able to keep their hands off one another.

A source at the time stated that Daisy is expecting and is looking forward to having her third child with her new partner. The addition of a baby will only help the two get closer to one another because they have been fighting well together. The couple then sparked engagement rumors when Daisy was spotted ring fingered in a diamond rock.

When Daisy was promoting her BBC series Am I Being Unreasonable, rumors about Anthony having popped the question started in February. Anthony was first referred to as her “fiancé” on her Instagram Stories. She made fun of the fact that her “fit fiancé and baby daddy” would appear on screen in a clip.

Jade Kilduff, who received the Golden Buzzer on Britain’s Got Talent in 2020, has welcomed her first child with her fiancée Devon Booth – and they’ve given him a unique name

A new member of the Britain’s Got Talent family has arrived. A star of the ITV talent show who scooped the prestigious Golden Buzzer has announced that her fiancée has welcomed their first child together.

Posting a touching photograph and disclosing the infant’s charming name, Jade Kilduff, who appeared on the long-running ITV series in 2020, has shared the joyful announcement on social media.

Golden buzzer winner Jade, 23, disclosed how she and her fiancée Devon Booth were expecting to become parents earlier this year, with this now becoming reality for the couple.

“Our little miracle Kobie Jackson Booth Kilduff was born 4/8/25 and our world has never been more complete,” Jade wrote on social media alongside a collection of adorable photographs.

The cute image showed their baby son resting on his back in baby grow displaying the message: “You are my everything.”

Jade’s mum was one of the first to comment on the post, with the proud new grandmother gushing: “Sobbing. Kobie you are everything we dreamed of and more. Beautiful boy, Grandma loves you all the world, you are totally perfect xx.”

Waterloo Road star Hattie Dynevor, daughter of Coronation Street legend Sally Dynevor, wrote: “Congratulations!!! He’s so beautiful.” Another of Jade’s followers added: “Bless him. He’s so lovely. I love his blanket.” A third wrote: “He’s so cute. Welcome to motherhood. Also well done @devon_booth23.”

In another video, Jade shared footage on Devon in labour and the first time they met their new bundle of joy. The adorable montage also included the moment the new parents left the hospital with baby Kobie.

Jade, who appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2020 alongside her Sign Along With Us group, had previously opened up about their struggle to conceive.

“A year ago was our lowest point going through our IVF struggles in private and thinking it was never going to work,” Jade shared in a recent TikTok. “But now we couldn’t be happier. Devon is pregnant and our little boy will be born soon.”

Jade shot to internet fame in 2020 after posting videos of herself and her brother, Christian, who has cerebral palsy, singing along to pop tunes on her ‘Sign Along With Us’ YouTube channel. This led to their appearance on the ITV talent show.

The siblings formed a choir consisting of 37 children and 28 adults, and their performance on Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) was so impressive that David Walliams hit his golden buzzer for them, making it the first act of that series to receive such an honour.

During Jade and Christian’s BGT performance in 2020, a poignant moment at the beginning showed how Jade taught her brother sign language after doctors warned he might not be able to communicate.

Following their televised performance, Jade appeared on Good Morning Britain where she revealed that doctors initially believed Christian was stillborn.

She explained at the time: “Christian came to us as my foster brother because my parents were foster carers. He was actually stillborn and he didn’t take his first breath for 24 minutes, which led to him having a brain injury. He’s got cerebral palsy, he’s registered blind he has a big long list of medical conditions. But we just saw the potential this amazing little boy had.”

She added: “We were told he would never be able to talk and would be in a wheelchair for life. We didn’t want to accept this and I started doing sign language with him – it literally unlocked his life and now he’s the amazing little boy he is today.”
