Danniella Westbrook and her boyfriend are said to have been friends for six years before taking things up a notch and things turned romantic between them

Danniella Westbrook has had her fair share of romance and heartbreak since she was catapulted into the spotlight when she landed her role on EastEnders. However, it seems like she has a new man as she’s said to be “deeply in love” and ‘”ready to marry” him already.

The actress is currently in a relationship with bareknuckle boxer Chasa Symonds, who she first met in a pub six years ago.

The pair seem to be as loved up as ever as Chasa has said he will support the star through he facial surgeries. They first met in a Croydon pub and were friends first before deciding to make things romantic.

A source has since claimed that Danniella is in a “love bubble” and is ready to be with her boyfriend for the foreseeable. It’s also said that she is ready to take the next step and tie the knot with Chasa.

A source told The Mirror: “Danniella feels that she’s found her soulmate. Chasa doesn’t judge her one bit and doesn’t care what has happened in her past. He understands all about the issues she’s been through but is supportive – he just wants to make her happy. She’s really smitten and feels like she can trust him, which is a really big deal for her.

“This is something she’s prayed for for a long time, it could be something special. She is thinking about marriage and definitely wants to tie the knot with him, it’s a no brainer for her and she’s ready to commit fully. They’re in a love bubble so wedding bells are definitely on the cards.”

Danniella recently took to her Instagram page to discuss their romance, she said: “Seven years ago you walked into a pub in Croydon to watch the football and walked straight into me. And we spoke and laughed all night share chocolate brownies and our fate was sealed…

“7 years of chats and texts and seeing each other through some dark days via dms .. we always said one day it will happen, what’s meant to be won’t pass us by… And here we are finally together and living the life we always wanted together. We saved the best for last and it was definitely worth the wait . #andtheylivedhappilyeverafter.”

Danniella’s nasal septum collapsed from excessive cocaine use more than two decades ago. She has since revealed that she is still trying to repair the damage caused and the effects of osteoporosis.

Her appearance has since changed due to corrective surgeries but Chasa is reportedly prepared to support his girlfriend through any more. Danniella spoke in 2023 about how she hated the results of her facial reconstruction that she had that year.

This came after having to wait seven years to find a surgeon willing to do the operation due to the condition of her septum.

US rapper Kanye West showed up at a Manhattan federal courthouse Friday to support music mogul Sean Combs, who is on trial for alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.

West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, never entered the courtroom; he briefly watched the proceedings in an adjacent room on closed-circuit video with one of Combs’s sons and then left.

When asked by broadcaster ABC whether he was there to support Combs, the 48-year-old West nodded and replied: “Yes.”

His brief appearance came one day after a former girlfriend of Combs wrapped up her testimony.

The woman, speaking under the pseudonym Jane, delivered emotional, graphic details about how he allegedly pressured her into drug-fuelled sex sessions with escorts.

Her description closely tracked with the testimony of a previous star witness, Combs’s longtime girlfriend Casandra Ventura, who said the encounters were called “freak-offs.”

In her testimony, Jane described traveling to Las Vegas last year on a well-known rapper’s private plane, and that she had recommended a male escort to that rapper and his girlfriend.

For nearly a month, jurors in the Manhattan court have heard a series of witnesses describing the influence the 55-year-old Combs exerted over staff and ex-girlfriends.

Combs faces life in prison if convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking.

The music mogul has pled not guilty to the charges against him, with his lawyers arguing that what prosecutors deem to be sex trafficking was in fact consensual.

Hollywood couple Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have announced the finalisation of their divorce in a joint statement overnight but have shared a commitment to one another

They were one of Hollywood’s greatest couples who appeared to stand the test of time, but things then took a sad turn as they have now announced the finalisation of their divorce.

In a joint statement Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, shared on social media, the former couple announced: “Our divorce has now been finalised. We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children.”

The statement continued: “We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”

Despite their status within the acting industry, they vowed to maintain a level of secrecy as they had split in 2023 but kept it behind closed doors.

At the time, the pair were concerned about maintaining a level of privacy for their three children, Olive, 17, Elula 14 and Montgomery, ten. The couple announced their divorce in April this year but only just revealed their intention of co-parenting in a private and humble way.

When speaking about her separation in a recent interview, Isla said: “I’ve learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents .”

She told the Sunday Times: “Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible.”

But it looks as though Isla has a good network of friends around her to help with the transition of being married to being single.

She went on to explain: “The women in my life have held me … the female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. I’m actually going to get emotional.”

She added: “I’m sitting here today because of them. I’ve learned so much about the power of female friendship and I’ve just learned that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It’s been this expansive learning curve.

At the time of them announcing their divorce, the couple released a joint statement that read: “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. “

She went on to say: “In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.”

The post was accompanied by a comedic picture of the pair while wearing tennis outfits.

And at the time of the announcement, many fans rushed to the social media platform ton express their views. On person said: “Sad to hear about Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. Relationships can be challenging, but I hope they both find peace and happiness moving forward.”

And another said: ” Liza Minnelli has outlived Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher’s marriage. They’re divorcing after many years together.”
