Shirley Ballas has opened up on her split from toyboy lover Danny Taylor with a blunt message. The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 65, has recently called off her long-term engagement to the 52-year-old, and claimed she has given up in her quest for love.

The dancing star’s most recent marriage ended in divorce. In November of this year, Danny and Shirley called it quits on their relationship, and she has since admitted that she struggles to hold down a man because of her “married” to dance.

She explained that she was obsessed with her career and that she had potential flaws as a result of her love of it. Therefore, I don’t just have a job. It’s my husband and I are.”

She then admitted, “I don’t believe I’m brought up on Planet Earth to date.” Every relationship has ended in disaster. I believed I had found The One with my previous boyfriend, but that also wasn’t effective.

Earlier in the month, Shirley admitted she felt lonely, but doesn’t intend to walk down the aisle again. She first wed Sammy Stopford back in 1980.

The pair’s professional Latin dancing position was at the top of the world. However, they parted ways in 1984 when Corky Ballas, an American dancer, and Shirley started collaborating. Before introducing son Mark in 1986, Shirley and Corky exchanged vows 12 months later.

However, things didn’t work out, and Shirley says she now prefers dating someone who is at least 13 years her junior after her most recent failed love affair with Danny.

In her autobiography, Best Foot Forward, Shirley states that she wants her future spouse to be “completely unattached” and “financially independent.”

And it comes after she admitted to feeling “lonely” at times when she admitted she had tried unsuccessfully to join the elite dating site Raya. She stated, “I think my “toyboy” days are over, but the age bracket I’ve chosen is fairly broad but not too young.”

If they are fit, I believe they will be able to get to 55 to 70. If they are loaded, up to 98. Just being facetious.

She continued, “I can tell you that I won’t marry again.” I’ve experienced too many disasters to list, but I’ve already done so. Call me cynical, but I find it hard to believe anything will ever be the same.

But she did acknowledge that being single was bad. She said, “I miss the intimacy, the affection, and the little squeezes.”

She then stated, “I get lonely. I’m sorry, but I can still feel lonely in the most crowded room, I assure you.

It left Emily with the most votes, meaning she was evicted from the Big Brother house. At the end of the episode, viewers were teased with more drama as it was confirmed four housemates would be making their entrance.

As they counted 16 beds in the iconic bedroom, the housemates had anticipated more would arrive. They are unaware of the anticipated arrival of the new contestants in the house.

Fans had a look at the new housemates, with one of them having a history, on the spin-off program Late and Live. In 20 years, Richard will be the oldest housemate to join the Big Brother family.

Lesley Brain, 60, was the last of the older contestants to make an appearance on the civilian television program in series eight. She retired from the sport after 11 years because she was bored.

Fans have already begun to notice Richard’s arrival, with one saying, “Love Richard already and haven’t even seen much of him”!

Giving a taste as to what to expect from his time on the show, Richard said: “I’ve been single my whole life.” His comment quickly caught the attention of previous Big Brother winner Jordan Sangha, who quipped: “Wise man.”

It seems a pretty direct blow at his ex Henry Southan, who he met on the ITV show in 2023. Their “platonic with kisses” relationship became one of the defining storylines of the series, captivating fans with its warmth, awkwardness and unexpected tenderness.

In a statement made available on Instagram in April, Jordan revealed his separation from Henry. An unfavorable announcement, he said.

Henry and I parted ways after many years of cherished memories and experiences. I want to thank everyone who has backed us. We’ll always be close friends. x . com . . .

Additionally, Henry added that Jordan and I have decided to separate after much reflection. We are both hurting a lot, and it’s incredibly sad, but we know it’s the right move.

“Thank you for showing us the love and support you’ve shown us. Please allow some time for us to think informally as we go over the details. Jordan issued a rare update earlier this month, as he pleads guilty.

He stated on his Instagram account, “I’m sick of being held accountable for the breakup.” I am aware of what has occurred and continues to do so. That’s all”.

Actress Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have split after nearly two decades of marriage, according to reports. The Hollywood couple built their lives together and were long looked at as one of the most loving partnerships in Hollywood.

Nicole, 58, and Keith, 57, wed in 2006 and share two daughters, who are now 17 and 14. They both frequently fought one another in front of famous people during career highlights and in public.

However, multiple sources with direct knowledge claimed the pair had been living apart “since the beginning of the summer” in a shocking move.

One source revealed to TMZ: “Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home,” which is also in Nashville. Whether the duo will officially divorce remains “to be determined,” reports the Mirror US.

Despite her personal upheaval, Nicole continues to be recognized as one of Hollywood’s A-list thanks to her professional success and financial success. She has an estimated net worth of $250 million as of 2025, which is very impressive.

This figure reflects decades of renown for her extravagant investments, executive producer roles, and decades-long dominance of Hollywood.

Keith, on the other hand, has an estimated net worth of $75 million thanks to his successful careers in country music and television shows like American Idol and The Voice.

In June, Nicole and Keith put on a very united front as they celebrated her birthday. The country singer took time out of his High and Alive world tour to treat his wife and the mother of his two kids.

He ended his tour by accompanying Nicole to a soccer game between Los Angeles FC and Esperance Sportive in Nashville at Geodis Park Stadium.

As they shared their time together, it appeared as though the two were completely in spirits. Nicole told her fans earlier that day that her man had given her a bouquet of flowers.

She wrote, “Feeling the love today,” in the caption of the flower delivery post. Thank you, thank you, thank you,” while Keith continued, “HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABYGIRL.”

In March, Nicole revealed she was going to take a break from acting, having filmed six projects in just one year. The Oscar winner starred in A Family Affair, Spellbound and Babygirl, along with TV series The Perfect Couple, Expats and Lioness season two.

In 2024 alone, this accumulates to six different acting projects, not including her second series of show Nine Perfect Strangers and the promotion of her upcoming film Holland.

She claimed to be more optimistic than she was when she told the Hollywood Reporter, “This year is] not as crazy. She said, “I was much more out there last year,” and that she will be off for the rest of the year after completing the next Nine Perfect Strangers series.

Made in Chelsea star Jessica Woodley has welcomed her first child. The reality TV star, 30, shared her happy news with her followers along with the first photo of her newborn.

She joined the hit reality series in 2015 where she dated Jamie Laing before quitting in 2017. Jessica revealed in June that she was expecting a baby with her filmmaker partner, Mark Logan.

Jessica gave birth at their Irish home, and the couple is now looking forward to their next adventure. She shared her happy news, saying, “Heart is broken open at our home after we welcomed our son on Friday.”

The unwavering support of Mark and his brothers, the woman who lives there. Thank you all so much for this authentic psychedelic experience.

“The empowerment and space to Trust.” Jessica had announced her pregnancy over the summer by sharing a stunning photo taken in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland.

She remarked, “Motherhood, I appreciate you choosing me as my sweet child. Growing you is a privilege. You have such a sweet heart. You are currently my Guru. Thank you for giving us a gift with your grace, your father and I are holding out for each other.

Jessica opened up on her pregnancy journey to OK! Magazine where she admitted to not recognising herself after leaving Made in Chelsea. She shared: “My first trimester was tricky, and I am definitely experiencing nausea, even at 28 weeks, but it’s all teaching me newfound resilience.

Throughout the course of this pregnancy, I feel like I’m building up strength. Physically and emotionally challenging at times, but Mark is so encouraging. Without him, I’m not sure if I could accomplish this.

She revealed that her pregnancy had led her to realize that she had always wanted to be a mother. Jessica was craving Masala chai and salt and vinegar crisps.

Jessica said, “I’m very aware that this child will be my teacher, and I really respect that we learn a lot from children. This sense of nurture is so powerful that I’m eager to take it.

“I worry less now, and I used to be such a worrier.” I’d make up scenarios, make up worries, and then become terrified. I’ve discovered how to self-regulate, which will benefit me as a mother.

Jessica previously acknowledged that she was still dealing with the “trauma” of reality TV appearances, which had earned her fame. She regretted participating in MIC because she called for people to “cancel reality TV,” and she called it “dangerous” in 2020.

Jessica stated in her most recent interview that she felt “very grateful” for that period of time because, without it, I wouldn’t have experienced solitude to the fullest extent and wouldn’t have had to look inside myself as much as I did.

“I’m really grateful for the difficult times I once perceived as challenging, but now I see them as gifts.” Actually, I no longer recognize who I am. I have a better understanding, more self-awareness, and a lower level of ignorance. As a woman, I feel much more powerful now than I did in the past.
