Reality TV star and supermodel Kendall Jenner has shared her desires to step back from the spotlight to focus on a much simpler life

Kendall Jenner is signalling a shift away from the unrelenting glare of fame, revealing plans to embrace a quieter, more grounded lifestyle.

The 29-year-old supermodel, who first entered the public eye at just 11 thanks to Keeping Up With The Kardashians, says she increasingly values simplicity over the spotlight. In a candid conversation with Vogue alongside friend Gigi Hadid, Kendall admitted: “I swear to God, I’m going to stop everything and just design homes. I’m not kidding.”

She explained that her life in Los Angeles is comfortable, but she craves more everyday freedom: “I love my space in LA, but I also really love the simple life.

“I like getting up every morning and throwing on a bathing suit or sweatpants and no makeup and just being free with my day.”

The model went on to describe her desire to feel normal, even amid fame and fortune. She revealed that horse riding remains a passion, allowing her to step outside the celebrity bubble.

She said: “I love to feel normal. I love to go to the horse show dressed just like everybody else and have my helmet on and my sunglasses and my uniform, and I can compete under a completely different name.”

Looking back at her early years of fame, Kendall reflected during Emma Chamberlain’s Anything Goes podcast on how she and her siblings balanced school and television.

“We went to school. We went to school as long as we could. I started home school, 11th and 12th grade.

“So even though we had a TV show at home, we were going to regular school all day and had our friends that we had from before the show started. It wasn’t always easy, but it did feel kind of normal.”

She expressed gratitude for her upbringing and support system: “Overall I am really grateful because I think it could have been a lot worse.

“I think that Kylie and I, the one thing we had was a lot of stability, a lot of love and a really great support system and really great friends. There’s also an aspect of us being really grateful that we had older siblings that we got to see do things before us and lead us in a way.”

Kendall’s career has spanned reality television, high-fashion runways, and countless magazine covers.

Yet, despite her extraordinary success, she seems ready to step back, focusing on personal passions, home design, and a lifestyle that prioritizes authenticity and calm over constant public scrutiny.

With this new chapter, Kendall is embracing the freedom to define her life on her own terms, away from the constant demands of fame.

Olivia Attwood and her close pal Pete Wicks have dismissed the rumours surrounding their steamy snap in Ibiza – and now Liv has spoken out about their friendship

Olivia Attwood dubbed close mate Pete Wicks her “twin flame” following their intimate time together in Ibiza. The duo, who present Kiss’ The Sunday Roast, recently jetted back from a wild getaway to the White Isle where Pete was snapped with his arm wrapped around Liv as they chilled on a yacht.

The snaps raised questions and fuelled rumours about Olivia’s marriage to husband Bradley Dack. However, it was disclosed the professional footballer wasn’t bothered by the intimate display whatsoever; rather, he was more worried about his other half’s reckless, boozy behaviour.

For Pete, 36, and Liv, 34, it’s been work as normal in the radio studio since the holiday and, in their recent episode, they both shared their ‘starter packs’ of characteristics they favour. Liv’s collection featured a love for Starbucks and Coke Zero, rescue dogs, tattoos, a wild child at heart and “having no accountability for actions”.

Pete commented: “I’m reading this now and I could be a Liv Attwood.” Liv responded: “We do this all the time. We’re soul sisters. We’re twin flames. We’re the same person.”

Pete’s collection comprised an “unhealthy attachment to cigarettes and alcohol”, no attachments to people due to commitment issues, bad tattoos, suede jackets, off-white jeans, dancing shoes, a man bag and sadness behind the eyes.

Olivia spoke about the Ibiza holiday days after flying back to the UK, revealing to The Sun: “If I had something to say, I’d be saying it on my own [ Instagram ] story. All the gossip and stuff – people message me and go, ‘Oh, have you seen this?’ If I had something to say, I’d be saying it on my own [Instagram] story.”

And, I do, but I’m quite disconnected from that stuff. Because I just think that, if you’re in this industry – and believe me, there are so many wonderful perks, I live a very privileged life – it’s just a sidebar of this job. “I just take it..”

Her husband Brad has kept mum about Liv’s trip, but we’ve heard that her sporadic communication was the real bone of contention for him.

A source revealed: “Brad was really happy she got a blow out because she works so hard, but it just tipped the balance into her going too hard and he was just really worried. “That’s what is at the heart of this, he was annoyed she was being so reckless. “The other thing as part of that is she was barely in touch and so his worrying wasn’t abated at any point.”

For now, Liv is shifting her focus back to her hectic TV schedule, which includes the launch of season two of Bad Boyfriends, set to air on September 14 on ITV2.

Amid the drama, Olivia has admitted she and Bradley are in the process of taking a huge step and letting go of their beloved Cheshire mansion – admitting “it just doesn’t work for us anymore.”

Olivia first gave fans a peek of her Cheshire pad on her telly series Olivia Meets Her Match back in 2020, where she lived with Brad and their two pooches Lola and Stitch. But it’s not been a home filled soley with happy memories. In July, Olivia shared that the house was burgled while she was away working in Spain, but the break-in was foiled by her private security team.

Olivia confessed that over the past year, she and Bradley have barely spent any time at their home, as she’s been busy working in London and he’s been playing for Gillingham Football Club in Kent, leading them to decide to put the house on the market.

She revealed: “The house is going to go on the market very soon. Essentially, I had this flat in London that I was just using as a base for filming. And that’s what it was meant to be, but now we’re living here.”

Speaking to The Sun, Olivia added: “That’s our family home in Cheshire, but we’re not in it. So, we’ve been umming and ahh-ing, because we’re both kind of emotionally holding onto that house. We love it so much. It’s just that Cheshire doesn’t work for us anymore because we’re not there.”

Longtime couple Eric Stonestreet and Lindsay Schweitzer announced the incredible news of their wedding on September 9 in a series of photos shared on Instagram

Modern Family icon Eric Stonestreet, known for playing Cameron Tucker on the sitcom, has officially tied the knot with fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer on his birthday. The longtime couple announced the incredible news on September 9 in a series of photos shared on Instagram.

“It’s my birthday and guess what I got,” the 54-year-old actor wrote in the caption. The first photo showed him standing on his own looking dapper in a black suit, white shirt, blue tie and brown-rimmed glasses and the second sweet snap had the bride and groom hold hands as they entered the reception.

Lindsay looked out of this world with her brown locks in loose curls as she rocked a simple silk gown. He also posted a snap of the two giving each other a smooch after officially becoming husband and wife.

Friends rushed to the comment section to congratulate the happy couple, with Eric’s onscreen husband Jesse Tyler Ferguson posting: “Of all second marriages, this one is my favorite! I love you both! I’m so happy for you!!!!”

Rico Rodriguez, who played Manny Delgado, posted a few partying face emojis. Hollywood icon Octavia Spencer said: “Congratulations! So happy for you both,” while Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Joel McKinnon Miller posted: “So happy for you. Congratulations!”

In July, Eric revealed his plans to tie the knot in their Kansas City home after getting engaged in 2021.

He said to People: “Well, I’ve said we’re building a house to host a wedding, and we’re still on track to do that. We’re almost done with the house, and that’s been our plan all along.”

“We got engaged and then all of a sudden got an opportunity to build a house, and I thought, no better way to start a relationship than literally building a foundation. So that’s our plan and we’re still on track for that.”

When the couple first got engaged, their were a few people who criticised their seven-year age gap.

In response, he hilariously tweaked one of the images from his announcement to make Lindsay look a lot older.

Alongside the picture, he wrote: “Apparently a lot of people think I look too old, as a 49 year old man, to be engaged to my almost 42 year old fiancé [sic].

“Look, she can’t help that she looks so great at 42 and I can’t help that I apparently look like her grandad so, I fixed it for everyone.”

Joe Swash didn’t have much luck when he tried to give wife Stacey Solomon a present for Valentine’s Day but it made the family laugh

It was meant to be a declaration of his love for wife Stacey Solomon. But Joe Swash left his partner and their family in stitches after getting a tattoo on his finger.

The tattoo is meant to show a love heart that Stacey uses on social media alongside the letter S as a symbol of his love. But once he put his wedding band back over the top, the tattoo looks very different.

Stacey and husband Joe Swash continue to do well and are loved by TV viewers thanks in part to their family reality show on BBC1 and their down to earth nature. A second series of BBC’s Stacey And Joe began tonight.

Explaining how much he loves her, Joe, 43, tells viewers: “She’s got just the most morally moral compass. Is that a word? The most morally moral compass I’ve ever come across. I want to show Stacy how much I appreciate her, and I think the best way to do that is to use my body as a canvas. I’m hoping she’s gonna love it.

“It is all good intentions but things don’t ever work out how I expect them to.”

In the second episode Joe then gets a tattoo for Valentine’s Day to show his love for her, but when he puts his wedding band back on over the ink, it makes the tattoo look like a man’s private parts.

“It’s not as romantic as I thought it was going to be,” admits Joe. “I knew it looked like a p*nis, I just didn’t want to believe it. It is a bit like a Transformer, it starts off as a truck and then when you put the ring on it looks like a c*ck and balls. Are we allowed to say that on the BBC?”

Joe tries to take Stacey on a romantic sunset date away from the kids during the skiing trip.

After she is shown the tattoo, Stacey burst out laughing: “That’s not the same as mine. Why did you draw a p*nis.

“Start thinking of a bigger design. Why didn’t you just get the name?”

Stacey had previously got a tattoo for Joe on her finger in 2023, with his name spelled out and joked it was her “midlife crisis” moment.

Despite the odd looking tattoo, Stacey is still impressed by the gesture. Hugging Joe, Stacey says: “Being married to you is a constant turn of event when I feel special.”

This is not Joe’s first tattoo and he has now ended up with three tattoos, none of which are perfect. As he was getting the third one done he explained: “My experience with tattoos ain’t great, so I’ve got one on my back. That was like for my dad, it said, Protected in love from above’ but it reminds me of Shooting Stars[TV show] like the dove from above and also the tattoo, sort of like dips into my bum, so it is a bit like I have farted it out.

“The other one I got when I was on holiday with the boys. I got drunk on an 18-30s holiday, and my mate’s paid for me to have a tattoo, it says something in Hebrew on my hip here.

“I haven’t really looked into what it says. I can only imagine It’s not something lovely. Why? Why anything? Why did I trust my friends? Why was I so drunk? Where was my mum looking out for me?”

Stacey and Joe married in 2022 and have been together nine years. They have filmed more of their home life for the BBC. After rising to fame on the X Factor in 2009, Loose Women star Stacey has become a national treasure and is best known for her bubbly personality and as the Instagram DIY queen.

She keeps her social media followers in the loop as she has transformed Pickle Cottage into a family home.

As well as her dream home which features in the series, Stacey has the dream family life too with former EastEnders actor fiancé Joe Swash, and her five children; Zachary, 17, Leighton, 13, Rex, six, Rose, three, and Belle, two.

In the opening episode she told how she thought she has “had her last baby”.

The cameras showed their youngest Belle going to nursery. And Stacey admits she gets “sad” as the kids grow up.

“Another one flies the nest. All the kids are at school, and we can have a lot of fun,” says Joe before asking: “D’you think that’s our last baby?”

Stacey replied: “I think that’s our last baby, bubs.”

Joe said: “I think what we need to do is start looking forward to the future bits of the kids growing up instead of it being like ‘awww’.”

Stacey replied: “Yeah, that’s why I’m getting more animals, to be honest with you!”

* Stacey And Joe is on BBC1 on Tuesday nights at 7pm and available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Fans of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing have called for controversial reality TV star Thomas Skinner have called for the former Apprentice star to be axed from the upcoming series

Strictly Come Dancing fans have called for Thomas Skinner to be axed from the 2025 series after he stormed out of an interview on Tuesday before snatching a reporter’s phone.

The Apprentice star told reporters ‘I’m not doing this’ before he stormed out of a roundtable interview with several journalists at the BBC’s Elstree Studios on Tuesday. The former reality star, 34, best known for his social media output these days, grabbed a reporter’s phone as they asked him to stop.

It came just a few short hours after Skinner told his followers on X he “can’t be bought” and “won’t say things just to keep people happy”.

Skinner has been a controversial signing for this year’s series of the BBC series. The dad-of-three has drawn strong criticism for Twitter (X) posts saying it is “not far-right” to be “flying your flag and loving your country”, and complaining “it ain’t safe out there any more” in London, saying the city is “hostile” and “tense”.

The divisive figure had taken issue with a reporter recording an interview, a common practise, during the big Strictly Come Dancing press day.

He had arrived at the table alongside fellow contestant, former footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who was left having to do interviews on his own after Skinner decided to storm out of the room.

“He walked to the table with his head down, he sat down, grabbed one of the reporters phones, who told him to stop,” an insider at the event has told the Mirror. “It was a shock. His reaction came out of nowhere.”

Another source told us: “It was totally out of the blue. He was absolutely fine during the first interview. In good spirits and delighted and surprised to be there. Like a competition winner.”

His actions were said to have left organisers furious and BBC bosses in talks over whether he should remain on the show at all.

A female journalist had simply asked Skinner what had motivated him to sign up for Strictly, which left the reality TV star realising he was being recorded on a phone during the press event.

“What’s that?” Skinner demanded, before picking up the woman’s phone and taking it from the table.

The journalist responded asking: “What are you doing, can you answer the question, we have only got three minutes. I’m just recording him.”

Now fans have called for the former Apprentice star to be axed from the upcoming series which starts later this Autumn.

Taking to X, they shared their thoughts as one user wrote: “This is what the BBC deserve because I for one am not surprised at all. Now drop the axe IMMEDIATELY. #Strictly.”

“Get rid of him man child #strictly,” another fumed. “Well I can’t say I’m surprised should never had been part of the show to begin with hope he’s axed,” someone else complained.

Another Strictly fan said: “I hope they don’t let him on the show. This behaviour is horrible. The show hasn’t even started and he’s acting like this. No way.”

“The first mistake was asking Thomas Skinner to be on Strictly in the first place. Rookie mistake omg,” someone else added.

Skinner posted a cryptic message to his Twitter (X) followers this morning ahead of the press day commencing.

In the length tweet, he wrote: “I cannot be bought. I won’t say things just to keep people happy like others do. I am not a weathercock who changes opinions to gain clout like others you see online or social media. I’ll say what I believe in, even when it’s not easy. Because that’s what we need more of in today’s world.”

Skinner’s antics came just hours on from BBC director-general Tim Davie, 58, defended the decision to cast former the Apprentice contestant in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking to MPs from the Culture, Media and Sport committee, Davie said: “That was not my decision, that was the production team looking for those people … who want to do Strictly, and those people they thought would be interesting to the audience.”

“Clearly, we wouldn’t take anyone whose views are just beyond the pale, or we would see as completely unacceptable or not suitable, racist views, all those things, we wouldn’t accept them. But that’s not the case here, from what I know, I’m not an expert on the individual, per se.”

Die Hard actor Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, and his wife Emma Heming has now spoken out about the challenges of caring for him

Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming, is standing her ground against criticism of her decision to move the actor out of their family home as he battles frontotemporal dementia.

During Tuesday’s episode of Good Morning America, the 47 year old actress acknowledged the judgement she has faced online but emphasised that the move was in the best interest of her husband and their daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. “[It] was the safest and best decision – not just for Bruce, but also for our two young girls,’ she told Michael Strahan. “And, you know, it’s really not up for a debate.”

Heming explained that having Willis live in a second home with a full-time care team ensures his needs are met around the clock, while also safeguarding their daughters’ wellbeing. “Now I know that Bruce has the best care 100% of the time. His needs are met 100% of the time, as well as our two young daughters. So I’m not gonna take a vote on that.”

The Die Hard star, 70, was diagnosed in 2023 with frontotemporal dementia, a condition that affects language and personality, and leads to gradual cognitive decline. While promoting her new book, The Unexpected Journey, Heming reflected on how caregivers are often unfairly judged.

“Caregivers are so judged, and it just goes to show that people sometimes just have an opinion versus really having the experience,” she said.

The author continued: “I’ll say that dementia plays out differently in every household. If you’ve seen one case of dementia, it’s one case of dementia. So you have to do what is right for your family and what is going to keep your loved one safe, as well as your young children.”

She emphasised the importance of doing what’s right for your family and keeping loved ones safe, especially when dealing with dementia. Her ‘wake-up call’ came when a neurologist revealed that caregivers often pass away before their loved ones.

She confessed: “I’m not a failure because I need help. It’s okay for me to raise my hand. I didn’t realise that,” she admitted. “I really needed permission for someone to tell me that it’s okay to get help.

“That’s what I hope this book does for caregivers: it gives them permission to care for themselves. Because if they don’t, how will they be able to show up and continue to care for the person that they love?” she added.

Last month, during the ABC special Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey, Heming shared that Willis had been moved into a one-story home better suited to his needs. “Bruce would want that for our daughters. He would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs,” she told Diane Sawyer.

Willis’ daughters frequently visit their father for breakfast and dinner, and Heming said their family continues to find ways to spend meaningful time together. She added: “When we go over, either we’re outside, or we’re watching a movie… it’s just really about being able to be there, and connect with Bruce. It is a house that is filled with love, and warmth, and care, and laughter. And it’s been beautiful to see that, to see how many of Bruce’s friends continue to show up for him, and they bring in life.”

Elsewhere in the chat, Sawyer asked Heming Willis what she would ask her husband today if she had the chance. The former model replied: “how he’s doing, [if] he’s okay, he feels okay. If there’s anything that we could do to support him better. ‘I would really love to know that. If he’s scared. If he’s ever worried. I just would love to be able to just to have a conversation with him.”

Willis is father to adult daughters Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31, from his previous marriage to Demi Moore, 62. When a brain scan confirmed the FTD diagnosis, Heming Willis admitted she was ‘so panicked’ hearing the diagnosis she “couldn’t pronounce” for the first time. “I remember hearing it and just not hearing anything else. It was like I was freefalling.”

When questioned if she thought the Pulp Fiction star understood what was happening, Heming Willis said ‘I don’t think Bruce connected the dots’. Heming Willis has now become a full-time carer for her husband and has penned a book about her experience. The Unexpected Journey hit the shelves on 9 September.

Speaking of her husband’s current condition, she said: “Bruce is still very mobile. Bruce is in really great health overall, you know. It’s just his brain that is failing him.”

As the Sixth Sense star loses his ability to speak, Emma revealed the family has ‘learned to adapt.’ “We have a way of communicating with him that is just a different, a different way, but I’m grateful. I’m grateful that my husband is still very much here,” she also revealed.

She highlighted the subtle yet ‘alarming’ initial signs that he was grappling with dementia. She said: “For someone who is really talkative, very engaged, he was just a little more quiet, and when the family would get together he would kind of just melt a little bit.”
