Who is Caroline Daur? How the unassuming supermodel built an empire with millions of fans as she's spotted out with newly-single Romeo Beckham - and his mum Victoria's already given her the seal of approval!
Eyebrows were raised this week when Caroline Daur was spotted on a night out with Romeo Beckham just weeks after he split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull. The German model, 30, has made a name for herself in recent years as a fashion blogger, under the name Caro Daur - and has even been given the seal of approval from Victoria Beckham herself already. Victoria has longtime been a fan of Caroline's and in 2018 her Facebook page reposted a snap of Caroline wearing one of her designs. Caroline has also attended several of Victoria's fashion shows. She is proud of the fact she is 'self-made', previously stating: 'I don't have an agent, manager or assistant. I do everything by myself.' The social media star first achieved prominence in the 2010s when she launched her blog and now boasts 4.6 million Instagram followers, with a further 1.1 million on TikTok. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Caroline - who studied business in school - worked for a headhunting company while building up her brand but is now a full-time influencer and model with a net worth of €4 million. By 2016 she had become the first German blogger to achieve more than one million Instagram followers and went on to land the cover of Japanese Vogue as well as walking for Dolce & Gabbana during Milan Fashion Week. Caroline also started branching out into other forms of media, appearing as a guest judge on Germany 's Next Top Model, and launching her own series of online workout videos. In 2019, Caroline - who is the daughter of lawyer Harald and manager Monika - was mentioned in Forbes 30 Under 30 list. The blogger previously revealed that she only sleeps four to five hours a night because her mind 'is always somewhere', and this year revealed she'd been diagnosed with ADHD. Detailing her diagnosis, she said: 'It didn't surprise me – and it didn't surprise anyone around me either. The diagnosis came late, but it explained so much. 'My brain is like an internet browser with 47 tabs open. Sport is the only way I can calm it down. This morning I worked out at 7am, even after a short night. Without it, I just don't function.' Of her ability to make it as a blogger, she mused: 'My success came from consistency and treating my work seriously. I didn't just smile in front of the camera – I planned, negotiated, edited, and built a business.' Caroline is also set to make her TV debut, having landed a role in German Netflix series She Said Yes which filmed last year. As a result of her newfound fame, Caroline has found himself moving in several high-profile circles. She is believed to be currently single after an on/off relationship with podcaster Tommi Schmitt. The pair were last linked together in February, with friends of the couple claiming they split because of their 'different views on a shared future.' She is followed on Instagram by the Beckham clan, as well as Romeo's ex Kim and Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz. Victoria Beckham has longtime been a fan of Caroline's and in 2018 her Facebook page reposted a snap of Caroline wearing one of her designs. Caroline has also attended several of Victoria's fashion shows. After Romeo was spotted with the stunning influencer in Paris on Saturday night, it was claimed the pair had bonded over their love of tennis, with both attending the Men's Singles Semi Final at the French Open on Friday. The model jumped into a car with Caroline and other pals after enjoying an evening together, keeping the fun going as they went on to party Julia nightclub in the French capital into the early hours. A source told MailOnline of the outing: 'Romeo was in town for work meetings, Roland Garros and also caught up with friends. 'He had dinner with his three friends one of whom is great friends with Caro so she joined the group. It was a casual dinner in a group setting throughout the evening.' Despite the casual group outing, the pair appeared keen to not be snapped together as they left the venue separately before climbing into the same car alongside mutual friend, French Vogue Culture Director Dan Sablon. Dan recently styled Romeo for his French Vogue fashion story. Romeo cut a casual figure for the outing, opting for a black sweater teamed with dark tracksuit bottoms and blue trainers. Meanwhile, Caroline dressed to impress in a strapless little black dress teamed with knee-high black boots. Friends say that things remain 'amicable' between the Romeo and ex Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' Kim attended several of David's birthday celebrations. She was present at the former England captain's party at the end of March at Cipriani restaurant in Miami. She also joined David, Victoria, and Romeo's younger brother Cruz, his girlfriend Jackie Apostel and sister Harper on their trip to France where they visited a vineyard in Bordeaux and a restaurant in Paris. Kim was also at the big dinner at Core restaurant in Notting Hill, West London. She has been at the centre of the rift after Nicola, 30, claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers. That was the reason the couple gave for not attending any of David's celebrations. However, in fact she enjoyed a romance with his close friend Rocco Ritchie, the son of Guy Ritchie and Madonna. Kim, is the well-heeled granddaughter of renowned post-war sculptor and painter William Turnbull, while her father Alex Turnbull and uncle Johnny were part of the post-punk band 23 Skidoo, formed in 1979. Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together at the time show - but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide of the mark, according to well-informed sources. That Kim has now been 'thrown to the wolves' as the reason behind the family row is 'deeply upsetting' to Brooklyn's parents and brothers. In fact, younger brother Cruz, 20, personally shut down the gossip recently when he responded to an Instagram post showing a picture of Romeo and Kim together. In a now-deleted message, one user commented: 'It's appropriate to date your brother's ex too? Cool.'

James Haskell reveals he's undergone surgery on painful injury just days after his dad's death as he shares new health update
James Haskell has revealed he underwent secret surgery on his arm, just days after his father's death. The former English rugby player, 40, took to social media to pay tribute to his dad Jonathan, who recently passed away after a long illness. Previously announcing his death, James told his followers: 'This is never an easy thing to write. 'My dad has passed away, and while it's unbearably sad, it's also a celebration of an incredible man.' The former I'm A Celebrity campmate added: 'He made me who I am. He supported me at every game, pushed me to be better, and loved me unconditionally. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'His work ethic was second to none. He was an amazing husband, a loving father, and a man who would help anyone in need.' On Monday, James raised a glass to his father, sharing a picture of him drinking his favourite drink, writing: 'It's never easy losing someone you love, but moments like these are made a little more bearable @remymartin. 'Their Cognac was one of my old man's favourites. Raising a glass feels like the perfect way to honour his memory and celebrate his life.' As the dad-of-one raised a glass for his father, one fan noticed James' right hand was bandaged. The eagle-eyed follower probed: 'Hope u are ok bro what happened to the hand mate.' James was swift to reply, revealing: 'Had a screw removed, wear and tear throughout the years.' According to the NHS, the procedure is typically carried out under local or general anesthesia. Meanwhile, James recently admitted what really caused his marriage to Chloe Madeley to end after five years of marriage. Haskell and Chloe, 37, the daughter of television presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, split when their daughter, Bodhi, was aged just one at the time. He explained his love of boozing contributed to the demise of their union. 'If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now,' Haskell said. Speaking at the Pub in the Park festival in west London, James said he now has a much better relationship with Chloe. 'It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe,' he told the Daily Mail's Richard Eden. 'It's team work.' He added: 'What we all forget is when you have children and a marriage finishes, it's all about the kids. Chloe and I are amazing co-parents. Our priority is always Bodhi.' Haskell said he's now single after dating advertising executive Helen Barclay at the start of the year. 'I don't really date,' he says. 'My priority is not that at the moment. I don't need anyone. I'm very happy and comfortable. My focus is, obviously, saying goodbye to my dad, work, and being the best dad in the best order.'
