ExCLUSIVE: Taylor Swift announced her engagement to sports star Travis Kelce last week, which was a huge success. Now it appears the couple may be forming a family sooner than expected.

With the showbiz wedding of the decade on the cards for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, a source tells new the singer is now “more than ready for a baby”.

The thrilled bride-to-be and NFL star Travis, both 35, sent social media into meltdown last week as she announced the news of their engagement inan Instagram post that clocked up more than 14 million likes in just over an hour.

Along with a firecracker emoji, Taylor wrote, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

In a series of romantic shots, Taylor showed off her stunning engagement ring while Travis was seen kneeling in a magical garden setting. The brilliant old mine cut diamond, which was co-designed by Travis, the football player for the Kansas City Chiefs, is reportedly worth up to £1.5 million.

A source claims that the big news indicates their intention to start a family as the timing and location of their wedding are already rumored.

She is now more than ready for a baby, according to the source. She’s happy to change her priorities after everything she’s accomplished.

She would prefer to spend some time with her mom and not her megastar status. She turns 36 on December 1st, and she is aware that if she and Travis want more than one child, it probably needs to occur sooner.

The singer mentioned how she even enjoys making her own baby clothing when she and Travis and his brother Jason were on the New Heights podcast last month.

She revealed that she enjoys sewing and that she is “specialized” in children’s purses and baby blankets.

In the past, Taylor has sent homemade blankets to several of her celeb mates’ babies, including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s daughter, Daisy Dove, and Gigi Hadid’s daughter, Khai.

Taylor has stated openly that she wants at least four children and that she wants a few more. Although I want to wait a while, I have always found it amazing to put everything you have into someone else when you become a parent.

After her acclaimed Eras tour ended in December, it was also reported that Taylor’s thoughts were turning toward motherhood. The Eras shows, which spanned almost 150 three-hour shows on five continents, lasted for almost two years and generated more than £1.5 billion in ticket sales.

She is under no illusion that she can continue conducting tours on that scale forever, according to our source, and it was very physically demanding.

“At some point, she wants to take time for herself and, having seen how people like Adele have found their balance, she wants that as well – her music, a wonderful marriage and children.”

For Taylor, getting engaged to Travis after two years of dating appears to be a dream come true. Despite ill-fated romances with Harry Styles, Joe Alwyn and Tom Hiddleston, her songs are filled with a longing for pure, lasting love.

She is one of the biggest stars on the planet, but despite all of her success, she has always wanted to be a typical girl who loves her soul mate, weds, and has children.

She has always valued tradition, so even though, by the standards of the majority, she hasn’t changed in that regard.

Taylor and Travis managed to keep the proposal a secret for a while, with his father, Ed, reporting to a US news agency that “Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks ago.”

Ed revealed that Lee’s Summit, Missouri, was the location of the engagement. He directed her to a restaurant where they were about to have dinner, and he said, “Let’s go out and have a glass of wine.”

They went out there, and that was the moment he asked her, which was stunning. To make sure everyone knew, they started FaceTipping me and their mother, and her family, so it’s great to see them together.

The couple first revealed their relationship in September 2023, shortly after the football player attempted to meet Taylor at one of her Eras concerts. He publicly revealed his crush on his New Heights podcast after failing to fulfill his mission.

Taylor, who recently appeared on the same podcast, described his on-air confession as “such a wild, romantic gesture,” adding, “He is crazy. He is “the good kind of crazy”

Taylor also revealed the release date for her upcoming album, The Life Of A Showgirl, which is scheduled for October 3 and has broken Guinness World Records with 1.3 million listeners.

It features a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, who has been hotly touted as a Swift-Kelce bridesmaid, making it a “complete 180” from her previous album.

Taylor eloquently said, “I care about this record more than I can even overstate.” It embodies everything that transpired behind the scenes.

This lightweight, waterproof jacket, which Shopping Writer Meghan has hailed as “a lifesaver for rainy spells on warm days,” has been praised by the magazine’s writer as a “lifesaver for rainy spells.”

Finding a reliable coat that won’t make you overheat in the summertime can be challenging, but it’s essential if you live in Cornwall like I do. You absolutely need a lightweight, waterproof jacket to keep you dry when sudden showers and rainy spells are almost always forecast at least once per week. And I believe I’ve found the ideal one, which has arrived in style this summer.

This Kathmandu Women’s waterproof jacket Seeker 2.5L has become my go-to for dog walks in the rain or running errands in the summer showers. It’s been incredibly effective at preventing out-of-nowhere downpours while remaining light and thin, which is ideal when the temperatures are still high.

Without sacrificing practicality or style, this waterproof jacket will allow you to face any kind of weather in comfort. Whether you’re heading for a summer hike or shopping in the park, it’s a top choice for all outdoor activities. When the weather is turbulent enough for me to need a jacket to keep dry on warm days, I have found it to be especially useful for dog walks.

This jacket has a slim-fit and short length that prevents it from flapping around in the wind and doesn’t get in your way while you’re on the move, and it comes in a form-fitting style that makes it ideal for outdoor adventures.

Though it doesn’t have the two side pockets I’ve come to adore in my normal coats, this jacket does come with a convenient zip chest pocket that can easily fit my iPhone. So, I can keep listening to my favourite tunes or podcasts while on the move, with a safe and secure place to keep my mobile close at hand.

I adore the feature because I have relatively short arms and can’t stand loose sleeves getting in the way. It also has thumb fastenings that keep the sleeves at wrist length. My go-to jacket has a snug hood that effectively covers my entire head, keeping my hair dry in case of unexpected showers. The hood can also be removed, giving me plenty of wearability on dry days as well as rainy days.

This super light jacket is a staple I’ll swear by as we enter the fall, and it comes in XS to L (I typically wear a UK size Medium). While practical enough to shield me from the rain and chilly winds, it’s light and portable, and it won’t make me sweat or feel burdened as the season slowly fades.

For £147.31, I can get my new favorite jacket for the spring through the fall from Direct Running. This Kathmandu Women’s Trailhead Stretch 2.5-layer Rain Jacket is available on Amazon for £129.98 if you’re happy to purchase a similar style but prefer to shop elsewhere.

Hayley Tamaddon, a former Emmerdale and Coronation Street actress, has endorsed a charity that provides primary schools with essential food items like cereal, bagels, bread, and milk.

From the drama of Coronation Street and Emmerdale to her dazzling routines on Dancing On Ice , Hayley Tamaddon has been on our TV screens for 20 years. Today, the single mum is channelling her energy into a cause close to her heart — fighting to ensure every child in the UK has a decent breakfast before school.

Hayley, 48, who played Delilah ‘Del’ Dingle in Emmerdale and Andrea Beckett in Coronation Street , has teamed up with Magic Breakfast — a charity that provides primary schools with essential food items, including cereal, bagels, bread and milk.

She says, “No child in the UK should attend school with an empty stomach.” Eat breakfast to boost children’s brains and muscles, as the saying goes goes. They feel more included and independent by joining breakfast clubs as well. There are “so many advantages”

It’s something she incredibly passionate about as the mother of 5-year-old Jasper. It breaks my heart to live in a world where not every child eats breakfast. I tell Jasper I’m fortunate, but I’d like someone to assist me if I ever really struggle.

The government is piloting breakfast clubs across primary schools in England, but the measures don’t yet cover the whole nation. It also doesn’t include all special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) providers or children aged over 11.

What about secondary school students whose families may be struggling? adds Hayley. Why can’t we feed every child, whether they’re five or fifteen, given that the cost of living is skyrocketing? I want to be involved because Universal Provision is a goal of Magic Breakfast.

Campaigning is a bit of a sea change for Blackpool-based Hayley, who appeared in Emmerdale from 2005 to 2007 and Corrie between 2013 and 2015. The veteran actress became a household name after playing Del Dingle on Emmerdale for two years, before going on to appear in a string of shows including Shameless and Waterloo Road.

She’d never rule out returning, even though her last appearance was when she left the cobbles for a new life in Jersey. In a heartbeat, she declares, “I’d return to either soap.”

In 2010, Hayley won the fifth series of Dancing On Ice with skating partner Daniel Whiston, and when the pair returned for Champion Of Champions in 2014, she was filming Corrie at the same time.

Last year, Hayley’s son Jasper was also rushed to hospital. The star who also appeared on Coronation Street told her followers that the tot “couldn’t stop being sick”. She informed fans that he was having “lots of tests” as medical experts attempted to get to the bottom of his illness.

Jasper was admitted to a ward following his trip and was placed on an IV drip. Meanwhile, Hayley herself suffered another scary diagnosis in 2022, having been diagnosed with viral meningitis.

After splitting up earlier this year, actress Jacqueline Jossa and her husband Dan Osborne rekindled their relationship, and they are more in love than ever.

Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne are determined to have a “drama-free marriage” now they’re back together, a source tells new.

EastEnders actress Jacqueline, 32, and former TOWIE star Dan, 34, announced their shock split and even sold the family home earlier this year, but now the outlook appears brighter for the couple, who were pictured enjoying some end-of-summer fun in the Canary Islands with their daughters Ella, 10, and Mia, seven.

Our source exclusively says that there is only one reason as to why Jacqueline is getting back with Dan, as the pair look more loved-up than ever on a romantic holiday to Gran Canaria.

Our source says former I’m A Celeb winner Jacqueline is so keen to keep the family together she wants to try again with Dan.

They have even been rumored to be considering renewing their engagements. Although it’s been discussed before, a large number of people believe this to be the right time. They have put in a lot of effort, and Jac has done a lot to help her learn to forgive him. She will fight valiantly to keep her family together because she is a tough cookie.

Dan has grown up a lot over the past few years, and he wasn’t the first person to lose sight of that fact. He has. However, he has already learned his lesson and wants to “clean up” her life.

The couple’s eight-year marriage has frequently been dogged by rumours of Dan’s alleged infidelity, and it seemed there was no going back when they confirmed their separation in March and asked for “respect and privacy”.

They emphasized that their daughters would continue to be “love and care-free” as their top priority. Above all, Jacqueline and Dan are concerned about their children’s best interests.

Suggestions that all was not well first sprung up when their six-bedroom “forever home” went on the market in summer 2024, despite them overseeing three years of painstaking renovations. It finally sold for £1.6 million this spring, when it was also reported they had both removed their wedding rings.

At the time, rumours were flying that Dan had “secretly” bought a bachelor’s pad behind his wife’s back, and had already moved out of the family home. However, Jacqueline – who plays Lauren Branning in EastEnders – hit back at the speculation, telling her followers the flat was an “investment”. She also insisted that she and Dan were “talking constantly, there is no big feud”, before adding, “stop looking for one”.

In 2013, Jacqueline and Dan first started dating.. They welcomed baby Ella in February 2015, and got engaged the same year. They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at a manor house in Cheshire in June 2017, where they were joined by a host of celeb pals.

“I am the luckiest man in the world to be marrying the woman of my dreams,” Dan said at the time. Their second daughter, Mia, was born in June 2018.

The pair celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary and start with a luxurious hotel in London on June 1st, 2018.

A royal expert predicts that Prince Harry’s relationship with the duchess, who recently opened up to Tan France about family life, will have to make “a very difficult choice” about her children if he builds bridges in London.

With growing speculation that the Duke of Sussex and King Charles could be about to take the first step towards reconciliation, a royal expert says the Duchess of Sussex may be forced to make an “exceedingly difficult choice” when it comes to her children.

Harry, 40, is due to arrive in London for a charity event on 8 September and it’s been reported that a “line of communication” has been opened between the duke’s team and Buckingham Palace, and there is “every hope” the trip will include a meeting with his dad, 76.

The pair haven’t been in the same room since Charles’s cancer diagnosis in February last year, and royal expert Duncan Larcombe predicts any potential bridge building could result in some difficult conversations with Meghan back at home.

Last week, the former Suits actress, 44, revealed she was left feeling “not well” after spending almost three weeks apart from Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, so the prospect of her children being part of Harry’s family reconciliation is unlikely to sit well with her.

Meghan clearly dislikes being apart from her children, and when Harry and Meghan arrive in the UK, they are held responsible for snubbing Britain as a result, Duncan claims. She wants to be a hands-on mother, but she was never willing to make the sacrifice that royal mothers do.

Meghan will ultimately have to make an extremely difficult choice if Harry starts reconciling with his family over here, which is hopefully a “when” not an “if.” Does she go with Harry and look the people in the eye, which will be difficult? Or does she permit Harry to travel with the kids and stay away?

“If it’s the latter, Meghan would miss the kids, and Meghan herself would interpret it as a massive snub,” she said, adding that the rift then shifts to her rather than Harry. If Harry is prepared to bury the hatchet, she will have to make some potentially difficult choices.

Meghan’s “not well” confession came on the second series of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which dropped last week. While chatting to celebrity guest Queer Eye star Tan France about family, she said the longest she’d been away from the youngsters was “almost three weeks”, adding,

“I was… not well”. Although she didn’t specify when, it is widely believed to have occurred shortly before Queen Elizabeth II’s passing in September of that year.

The Windsor Castle walkabout following the Queen’s death was the last time Meghan was seen with Harry and her brother and sister-in-law, William and Kate, and the last official royal duty she performed. In the years since, Harry has repeatedly said he doesn’t want to bring his wife or children to the UK because he worries for their safety.

He mentioned the possibility of attacks on Meghan in particular last year, saying, “And whether it’s with a knife or with an acid, these are things that really bother me.” One of the reasons I won’t bring my wife back to this country is because of it.

The purpose of Harry’s London trip is to attend WellChild Awards, on 8 September, but in relation to a possible face-to-face with Charles, a source said last week, “This is not about grand gestures or set-piece meetings – it’s about a simple conversation between a father and his son.”

Harry may soften his stance toward the children if it does occur, according to Duncan, but adds that Meghan will “always fight for her family, to keep them together,” making it unlikely to work.

He claims that Harry will recall what he gave up when he travels to the UK. He will be bitterly let down by the lack of opportunities for his own children to meet that grandfather. Harry’s visits to Britain only serve to reinforce his sense of loss and that he will want to deal with it in some way.

There is a real desire to end this rift as soon as possible and to meet, according to the press. The King will be the key figure in that regard. Harry will obviously have to have conversations with Meghan about what they do with the children because Charles will want to give them that.

As with the first series, Meghan’s second instalment of her lifestyle show has failed to win over lots of the critics so far, despite the A-list guest list and expectations of a few peeks behind the curtain of their Californian life. Duncan says that from the few personal insights we’ve had from Meghan over the years, there is a lot about her that “is very incompatible with being a royal”.

He claims that Meghan had a lifetime of servitude before getting married to Harry. However, we’ve seen that she has a burning desire to pursue a career and earn money, and that is not compatible with being a royal wife. We’ve come to know Meghan a little bit more, and we’ve seen that she’s incredibly ambitious and strong in the best ways. She also has strong opinions that she is unfazed to voice, which is completely unacceptable.

“People like Sophie and Kate, and in some ways Zara, have a tendency to be quiet.” They act subordinate to the royal firm in some ways.

Meghan’s opinions on being apart from her children, he adds, are especially at-odds with the reality of being a “royal mum”. “If you’ve got children and you’re a senior member of the royal family, your biggest challenge is to stop them growing up in a prison,” he says.

Kate, for instance, cannot simply visit the stores with George. They must bring security personnel with them, there must be some planning, and they must always be mobbed by the crowd. Meghan is not that.
