Selling Sunset is set to return to screens in a matter of weeks and the dramatic trailer for series nine shows newcomer Sandra Vergara make her debut as she joins the group

A Selling Sunset newcomer has a surprising connection to a familiar Modern Family star.

Netflix has dropped a brand new trailer for season 9 of Selling Sunset which is set to premier later this month on October 29.

Familiar faces are back, alongside some fresh new faces as Netflix Tudum teases: “The sun is rising on massive deals and intense drama for The Oppenheim Group agents. Selling Sunset is returning for Season 9, and with new episodes come new faces.”

One star is set to make her on screen debut as she teases some “jaw-dropping moments” that fans won’t see coming as well as “unexpected twists”.

In the thrilling trailer, fans are introduced to Sandra Vergara. After “new energy” is teased, Sandra then walks onto the scene as she introduces herself to agent Mary Bonnet, stating: “I’m Sandra Vergara.”

She is then asked: “Like Sofia Vergara?” – referring to the Modern Family star, as Sandra confirms “We’re related.”

Sofia is well known for her stint on Modern Family with the role of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett. She has also been seen on Griselda as well as Hot Pursuit.

Netflix’s Tudum confirmed the Selling Sunset star was the cousin and adoptive sister of Sofia. They teased: “If that last name rings a bell: Yes, she’s the cousin and adoptive sister of fellow actor Sofía Vergara (Griselda).”

Speaking to Tudum about her Selling Sunset debut, Sandra said: “I’ve always had an eye for design and a love for people, so combining that in real estate just clicked.

“I’d seen [Selling Sunset] and always thought the women were incredibly dynamic. But being on the inside now, it’s a whole different level of excitement.”

Sofía and Sandra are cousins who were adopted by Sofía’s parents and raised as sisters.

Sandra is biologically the daughter of Sofía’s aunt, and she was adopted by Sofía’s parents, Margarita and Julio Vergara, when she was about a month old. They were raised together in Barranquilla, Colombia, and have a very close bond.

As well as experience with luxury properties, Sandra has also made a mark on television, having worked with high profile celebrities and has even served as a correspondent for TV show People.

Like her sibling, Sandra is an actress with credits including 2011 horror film, Fright Night, which features Colin Farrell and David Tennant.

The feud between Charli XCX and Taylor Swift continues as the Brat singer takes a swipe at music documentaries just before one about the Eras Tour is announced

Charli XCX slammed music documentaries and appeared to throw shade at Taylor Swift, just days before the Actually Romantic singer announced a two-documentary deal with Disney Plus.

Taylor announced this week that a six-part docuseries about the Eras Tour, titled The End of an Era, and a film of the final show of the tour, which will both air from 12 December on Disney’s streaming platform.

But in an interview conducted before the announcement, Charli XCX, who is thought to be feuding with Taylor, said she wouldn’t choose to do a documentary about her, as she’s not a fan of the usual format of such series.

“I feel like my problem with a lot of musician documentaries is it often shows the musician as coming up against some kind of opposition and eventually overcoming it to be the hero,” Charli told Vanity Fair. “And that’s just not been my experience, you know?”

Taylor has made no secret of how she views her Eras Tour as a massive success in the wake of opposition. She has spoken about how the worldwide tour was physically and emotionally gruelling for her, but she pushed through it to create something for fans.

In the trailer for the new series, Taylor can be heard saying: “This tour is just when every single one of us who had done so much work, pushing, inch by inch to where we all clicked together.” This comes before a clip of the singer saying she “will not be able to get to sleep” and “can’t calm down”.

Similarly, in her first documentary, Miss Americana, Taylor spoke about how she is only where she is because of a “work ethic” rather than because others wanted her to succeed. “It was all fuelled by not feeling like I belonged there. I’m only here because I work hard and I’m nice to people. That work ethic, like thank God I had that work ethic.”

When Miss Americana came out in 2020, there was no bad blood between Charli and Taylor. But in the five years since, the two appear to have started feuding and both are said to have released diss tracks about each other.

In the Vanity Fair interview, Charli declined to comment on the rumoured feud. However, her song Sympathy is a Knife is thought to be about Taylor.

In the song, Charli sings: “Don’t wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show / Fingers crossed behind my back / I hope they break up quick.” Many have thought she was referring to Taylor, who briefly dated Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975 and bandmate of Charli’s husband George Daniel.

But, later, Charli explained that the song was about her insecurities and anxieties in the music industry, particularly how she always compares herself to an unnamed singer. Fans of Charli have said the song’s chorus, where she sings “I couldn’t even be her if I tried”, supports that.

However, fans have noticed similarities between the song and Taylor’s new track Actually Romantic which seem to suggest that Taylor was not happy with Charli.

In the song, she sings: “I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave / High-fived my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me / Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face / Some people might be offended…”

Taylor hasn’t said the song is about Charli. Instead, in The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, the film accompanying her latest album, she said: “[It’s] a love letter to someone who hates you …

“There can be this moment where it’s unveiled to you, through things that they do that are very overt. And, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve just started to be like, ‘Oh my God, you did so much with this. It’s flattering.

“That is, wow, that is very, very sweet of you to think about me this much, even if it’s negative. In my industry, attention is affection, and you’ve given me a whole lot of it.”

Kelsey Parker has admitted that despite the grief that came with the stillbirth of her son Phoenix, she wants to try for another baby with her partner Will Lindsay

Kelsey Parker has revealed she still hopes to have another baby with her boyfriend Will Lindsay, three months after the devastating stillbirth of their son, Phoenix.

While on her and pal Georgia Jones’s Mum’s The Word joint podcast, the 35-year-old widow opened up about her desire to keep growing her family despite unimaginable heartbreak.

Kelsey told Georgia: “I would love to have another baby. That’s not made me not want another baby. I think more it’s probably made me want a baby even more, because I was so prepared to have a baby.”

She went on to add: “And you know, Will hasn’t got his own children. He absolutely adores mine and they absolutely adore Will, which I’m so lucky and fortunate that they have got the most amazing relationship. But Will does want children of his own. If we can then we will continue to try for a baby.”

In the podcast chat, Kelsey also shared her heartbreaking regret as she said: “I think as well that when I was pregnant with Phoenix – and I feel like this is my regret – that I feel like I hid a lot because I was so worried about what people actually thought about me and – ‘oh she’s pregnant with another man’s baby’ when…

“But it’s like how can people be that judgemental and that opinionated because I actually lost that baby. I didn’t tell the world what I wanted to tell the world because I was holding back.”

She then added: “And I feel upset with myself that I let other people make me feel that way.”

Kelsey – who shares daughter Aurelia, six, and son Bodhi, five, with her late husband, The Wanted star Tom Parker – was due to welcome baby Phoenix in June. But in a heartbreaking turn, he was stillborn at 39 weeks.

The loss has been another devastating blow for Kelsey, who lost Tom in 2022 after a battle with brain cancer. A source told OK! that Kelsey “truly believes Tom is up there looking after baby Phoenix,” adding that she has faced “so much grief in one lifetime”.

Kelsey met her new tree surgeon boyfriend Will Lindsay two years after Tom’s death, and the pair announced they were expecting their first child together in January.

She described the pregnancy as a “blessing” when they shared the news, but the couple’s joy turned to sorrow when Phoenix “was born sleeping”.

Kelsey said her bond with Will and her children has kept her going through this tragedy. “It’s bittersweet. I thought I was going to be at home with a newborn,” she added.

Kelsey has also tried to navigate telling her children about the loss as honestly as she can, without upsetting them further. She previously told Lorraine: “They’ve lost their dad, they know their dad’s with the angels now, so we told them, ‘Phoenix has gone with your daddy.’”
