Even after David and Victoria appear to have sent their eldest child olive branches, Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz appear to be planning a Christmas getaway from their parents.

Brooklyn Beckham’s Christmas plans do not seem to include his famous parents, David and Victoria. Despite recent olive branches extended by his family, the eldest Beckham child is said to be spending the festive period with his in-laws.

For the best part of the year, Brooklyn and his family have appeared to be in embroiled in a family feud. The eldest Beckham child has snubbed several family milestones, including his father’s knighthood and 50th birthday. As Christmas draws near, his family seemed to be sending out olive branches, hoping for a reconciliation, such as putting up his stocking along with his siblings’ and cousins’.

However, the Daily Mail reported that Brooklyn is set to remain estranged from his family and spend the holiday with the family of his wife Nicola Peltz. A source told the publication: “Brooklyn and Nicola decided they would be spending this Christmas with her family. Her parents are really excited to have them.”

The couple are already in Miami with her family, according to an Instagram post that was posted to Nicola’s stories. She shared a photo of Brooklyn and her brother Bradley lounging near the mansion’s pool. She also shared pictures of their Christmas decorations on the mansion’s staircase and the chocolates they had been making.

The couple celebrated Christmas with Brooklyn’s siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Victoria with David, Victoria, and Brooklyn. David and the rest of the Beckhams appeared to be gently nudge Brooklyn once more on social media. On social media, David shared a vintage photo of himself with Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. Cruz responded to a similar image with the message “Love you guys”

Meanwhile, Victoria shared a video of her mother Jackie Adams’ Christmas decorations, which included a personalised stocking for Brooklyn. Despite this, a source told The Mirror that the Beckhams are “coming to terms” with spending the holiday without their son.

David and Victoria are accepting that Brooklyn is no longer as present. They are saddened but accepting it. According to the source, “But the grandmothers are feeling it,” she says. They adored Brooklyn because they bonded with him so deeply. They no longer see him because he had a deep love for them.

Rumors of a family feud were first alleged to have started in 2022 when Victoria was supposed to create Nicola’s wedding dress, but the bride ended up wearing Valentino.

These rumors were disproven, though Nicola and Brooklyn continue to be important family members. The rumors started to spread again in 2025 as Brooklyn began to cover up more and more of his family’s happenings and as he and his brothers appeared to stop following each other on Instagram.

A source has said to the Mail that Brooklyn would be open to ending the feud, if he and Nicola get a public apology from David and Victoria. They said: “There is an obvious first step which would be a public acknowledgement [by David and Victoria] of what they did, and an apology. It cannot be a performative thing. There is no realistic chance of a reconciliation without that happening first.”

Who did Taylor Swift date before Travis Kelce?

By in Entertainment News, News

As her brand-new documentary continues on Disney+, the popstar has provided insight into her private life.

Taylor Swift fans have been given another insight into her groundbreaking Eras tour as the latest instalments of her brand new documentary are streaming now.

The End of an Era premiered on Disney Plus earlier this month as it chronicles the creation and the influence of the huge phenomenon that was Taylor’s Swift’s The Eras Tour, which spanned from March 2023 to December 2024.

Giving fans an exclusive insight into her personal life as well as the behind the scenes workings of the tour, the first four episodes are available to stream online now as the star makes a heartbreaking admission.

Already, viewers have been given an insight into Taylor’s personal life as well as intimate moments including from her current relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.

The athlete attended an Eras Tour concert in Kansas City himself in the summer of 2023 as Taylor’s mum opened up about how the two started dating.

Before their relationship became public in September 2023, Travis and Taylor started talking privately and went on their first date in New York City. At first, they initially avoided the public eye during their time together.

Fans may be wondering who Taylor had previously been dating, though. What we know about the relationship between the actress and the boyfriend.

Before Travis Kelce, who was Taylor Swift’s first love?

As the two were photographed together in a movie theater together, rumors started to surface that Taylor was dating The 1975 singer Matty Healy in 2023. Prior to their split, he reportedly skipped the entire Hereras tour. Both parties confirmed nothing, though.

As reports of a romance between Taylor and Matty surfaced in 2014, they were not at all strangers.

Taylor and Joe Alwyn had a relatively private relationship between 2016 and 2023. Fans who were unsure of the exact details of their split in 2023 were left wondering why they had split.

Taylor Lautner, Calvin Harris, and Joe Jonas are other well-known names in her dating history.

However, the singer reflected on “two breakups” during her 2023 first half of her tour in the most recent instalment of her new docuseries.

Taylor acknowledged in the most recent episode that the show gave her a “purpose” and that her personal life outside of the tour was “hard.” She claimed that, according to her, “I actually went through two breakups during the first half of this tour.” What I could use to get out of bed was the show, which gave me the purpose.

The star later said that the Eras tour never will let you down.

As an “early gift” to fans of the singer ahead of Christmas, Disney+ previously announced the final two episodes of Taylor Swift The End of an Era will land on the streaming service earlier than planned.

Rather than December 26, viewers can catch episodes five and six on December 23 as an update read: “As an early gift to fans around the world, the final two episodes will premiere early on December 23 at 12am PT, only on Disney+.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Christmas celebrations face disaster amid warning

By in Entertainment News, News

Santa Barbara has previously experienced devastation due to bad weather, including a mudslide that hit Montecito in January of this year that claimed 23 lives.

A significant storm is anticipated to hit their neighborhood over the holiday season, which could cause Prince Harry and Meghan to experience a washout.

The Montecito Association issued a warning about the upcoming weather to members, understood to include the royal couple, in an email sent out on Friday night. It said: “The National Weather Service is forecasting a major storm for Santa Barbara County that is expected to occur Tuesday, December 23 through Thursday, December 25.

“Councilwide, dangerous flash flooding, dangerous flooding, and strong winds are possible,” the statement states. Evacuations are NOT currently being issued, it added. Leave the area before the rain starts if you worry that this storm may create unsafe conditions for your home. Don’t wait for an official evacuation notification before departing.

Public safety officials are closely monitoring the incoming storm to determine whether necessary protective measures, such as an evacuation order, evacuation orders, or shelter, are required.

The newsletter, signed off by Montecito Association Executive Director Houghton Hyatt, included advice on what to do if the National Weather Service issues a flash flood warning, as well as detailed tips on how to prepare for the expected rain. The area of Santa Barbara has previously experienced devastation due to bad weather, including a mudslide that hit Montecito in January of this year that claimed 23 lives..

The new warning came just hours after Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, shared a new family photo of themselves with their children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, alongside a Christmas message. In the image, shared on Instagram, Archie was seen hugging his father, while Meghan could be seen bending down and holding hands with Lilibet while standing on a small, wooden bridge in woodland.

Happy Holidays! was a message Meghan sent me. From your family to ours. The Archewell Foundation, which has since changed its name to Archewell Philanthropies, has also been released by the duke and duchess separately, along with a Christmas card and end-of-year video.

The charity was established in 2020 after the couple stepped down from royal duties and moved to the US. Announcing the name change, a spokeswoman for Harry and Meghan said: “This next chapter allows Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to broaden their global philanthropic efforts as a family, with meaningful reach and maximum impact, grounded in the same values, partnerships, and their commitment to show up and do good.”

Reacting to the news, PR to the stars Mayah Riaz told the Mirror: “From a branding perspective, this is a smart and I’d say quite deliberate evolution rather than a reinvention. Moving from ‘Foundation’ to ‘Philanthropies’ signals scale, maturity and longevity. In branding terms, it’s a way of future proofing the name as their work expands beyond individual projects.”

She continued, “I believe this has a reputational message.” Philanthropies feel more global, institutionalized, and less intimate. At this point, that may be beneficial for Harry and Meghan because it shifts their attention away from personalities and shifts it to impact, outcomes, and credibility.

It establishes Archewell as something that could stand alone, even without their names being at the forefront. The five-year mark is important in terms of timing. Five years is typically when you either secretly fade or consciously level up in celebrity and public figure branding. They appear to be claiming to be committed to this for the long run.

By in Entertainment News, News

The 24-year-old singer, who collapsed on stage earlier this year, announced to fans that she would be taking a break from performing.

Reporter on the social news desk Eve Wagstaff

Lola Young has shared an emotional message after stepping back from the spotlight to focus on her well-being.

At the end of September, the singer-songwriter told fans she had cancelled her upcoming gigs after collapsing on stage at a concert in New York. She said at the time: “I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future.

You will obviously be entitled to a full refund. Once I’ve worked on myself and come back stronger, I’m really hoping you’ll give me another chance. Love you all, Lola x.

Now the singer posted a statement on Instagram thanking supporters for giving her the time and space she needed, admitting the past year has taken its toll. In the post, Lola said she has felt “so much love and support” and that it helped her more than people might realise.

Hey, I just wanted to thank everyone who has given me the time and space to gather myself and make a better head. She wrote to her 1.8 million followers. You all have been so generous with your kindness and assistance, which has been more appreciated than you will ever know.

The 24-year-old singer continued, “I hope to slowly return to performing and working toward my goals,” adding that she is more optimistic about the future.

I’m hoping to resume my musical talents and pursue my goals over time. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and look forward to seeing you in 2026, she said. Nothing in life is perfect, but I’m on a good path today. Lola x, all my love forever.

The star’s career has accelerated quickly since several of her songs blew up on social media, which is followed by the update, which comes after a dazzling year for her. After being diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder at the age of 17, Lola has previously openly discussed her mental health. People with the disorder may experience psychosis as well as mood swings, according to the mental health charity Mind.

Lola also suffers from ADHD and mental health struggles. In an Instagram post in 2022, she said: “I can’t find the words to describe how much this diagnosis has affected my entire life, and my outlook on the world around me.

“I’ve been incredibly learning to accept this aspect of myself, and I’m still learning. I must remind myself that I am just a regular f****** person, that I am human, and that, like everyone else, I am capable of amazing things, and that my mental health does not preclude me. My superpower is it.

She explained that she initially assumed she had bipolar disorder and clinical depression before being diagnosed with the condition.

My mother’s brother and my uncle on my dad’s side both died, and I have a history of it in my family, Lola said in a statement to The Telegraph.

Many followers praised her honesty and urged her to take all the time she needs in the comments section.

One user responded, “Your wellbeing comes first, and I’m so eager to start the next chapter whenever it comes”! While another person yelled, “Sending you so much love. Take your time, always.

Strictly’s Motsi Mabuse ‘didn’t talk to sister Oti for a year’ amid row over husband

By in Entertainment News, News

Oti Mabuse, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, has revealed that Motsi, her sister, didn’t talk to her for a year while she was pursuing a dance career with Marius Iepure, his ex-husband.

After making the decision to leave South Africa for Germany, Motsi Mabuse, the judge for Strictly Come Dancing, “didn’t speak to sister Oti for a year.” According to Oti, her older sibling “didn’t want” her to move to Atlanta to pursue dancing as a future spouse.

Motsi, 44, made the move from South Africa to Germany back in 2007 when she became part of Let’s Dance as a professional dancer. She returned for the programme’s third series and ultimately secured a spot on the judging panel in 2011.

When Oti later revealed her desire to pursue a similar path in dance, Motsi made arrangements to have her meet several potential dance partners.

Oti, who became a Strictly professional in 2015, has admitted she instantly recognized Marius as “the one” despite being open to testing the waters with various dancers. Oti has admitted that her sister was not all that enthusiastic about her dancing ambitions, despite Motsi’s facilitation of the introduction to her future husband.

During an appearance on Women’s Health’s Just As Well podcast, she revealed: “Motsi didn’t want it. She was like, ‘I know this guy, I’ll give you his number, I’ll give you a few guys that you can try out with but I don’t want you here. I don’t want you in Germany’.”, reports Wales Online.

She had ten years of struggle for a dancer’s life when she arrived in Germany. She felt about me in the same way that she did my daughter, which frightens me.

She said, “I don’t want this life for you,” and she was right. You’re not welcome here, please. I don’t want you to endure the hell that I have.” My entire family was upset that I chose to dance because she hadn’t spoken to me for about a year.

She also said, “This boy Marius, he just wants to be your boyfriend, that’s all he wants, I want you to be serious,” and I was like, “Well, it’s a little late now,” so we were dancing and talking.

Oti’s family made amends after 12 months, she revealed. She continued, “After a year, they were like, Okay, we’re really sorry and we miss you and we should have supported you, but it’s so good that you did it yourself and were able to succeed.”

Oti clinched the Strictly crown in consecutive years, 2019 and 2020, before departing to take up a judging role on Dancing on Ice. This year she’s lined up to sit on the judging panel for the Irish edition of Dancing with the Stars.

Meanwhile, Motsi has held a judging position on the programme since 2019, stepping in for Darcey Bussell. She’ll be back on our screens from 7pm on BBC One as Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin, Karen Carney and Carlos Gu, alongside George Clarke and Alexis Warr battle it out for the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
