I wouldn't leave my hubby for cheating… but there are three things I would divorce him over
AFTER fans call for actress Jacqueline Jossa to leave husband Dan Osborne after his 'flirty' text messages with Christine McGuinness, writer Mel Fallowfield, 51, reveals she would stand by her man if his head was turned . . . I know a lot of women will think I'm mad for saying this, but if my husband Brian cheated, I would completely forgive him. 4 But if he was ever to break one of my three non-negotiable rules I live by, I'd be straight down the solicitor's office. Boredom. Resentment. Feeling unfulfilled. These are the three things I will never let into my marriage. I'd, quite frankly, rather get divorced. Perhaps that's how Jacqueline Jossa may feel too. Her relationship with Dan Osborne hit the headlines last week after The Sun revealed he had been exchanging 'flirty' text messages with reality star Christine McGuinness following the breakdown of her marriage to TV presenter Paddy McGuinness. While there was no suggestion of an intimate relationship between the pair, former Towie star Dan has been hit with infidelity claims in the past, previously confessing to The Sun: 'I've made mistakes. "I've done things I shouldn't have done.' Fans have since urged EastEnders actress Jacqueline to call time on their marriage. Comments online include, 'Jac come on love, you have always deserved better', and, 'It really is time that his wife took off rose-tinted glasses'. But if he has cheated in the past and she has put up with it, I can't say I blame her — and she wouldn't be alone. According to one survey, a third of us have stayed with a partner after discovering they had been unfaithful. To be clear, my husband Brian is not cheating on me and never has, as far as I'm aware. But then again, I would go out of my way NOT to find out. I have no interest in going there. I've even told Brian that if he was ever to indulge in an extra-marital fling, he must not confess and he must make sure I don't find out. He's sworn he has no interest in sleeping with anyone else but it would be foolish to believe any marriage is immune from infidelity — the figures speak for themselves. Twenty per cent of men and 19 per cent of women have been unfaithful. If Brian cheated on me, I'm sure I would feel resentment and anger, but if it was a one-off, it feels like something we could tackle. 4 4 But a resentment that feels as though it would stretch on forever is what I'd struggle with. There being no hope of change is what I couldn't face. Just the other day, I came into the kitchen to find crumbs and cheese left on the chopping board, the lingering evidence of Brian's snack spread all over the kitchen counter. I begrudgingly tidied the mess away while he mumbled that he was about to clear it up himself. But the fact the snack was finished and he was on the sofa watching telly made a mockery of that statement. It's a daily occurrence in my house, a simple annoyance which triggers tiny flashes of resentment. That could be the thing that ends our 19-year marriage. But if Brian cheated on me I'd try to turn a blind eye and, if I couldn't, we'd go to counselling. That's because if everything else is right in a marriage I don't see why infidelity should kill it. If I was to also end up feeling bored and therefore unfulfilled because of the man my husband evolves into, that would kill the love and could, in turn, kill my relationship. 'MORE THAN SEX' And I'm not alone in this. My friends and I can talk for hours about our spouses' irritating ways, that day-in- day-out monotony that when you come home you just know they'll have left their used tea bags by the sink. It would honestly lift my heart to come home and not find them there. I've told him countless times but it makes no odds. It's not grand gestures that most women crave, but little everyday things that show us he's thinking of our needs, not just his. The actual clearing up after him takes a matter of minutes and, for the time being, I'm resigned to it because he's been like that since we started living together 25 years ago. Because so many men do, it seems 'normal'. My father wasn't exactly houseproud and I feel you can't teach old dogs new tricks. But a decade on from now there's a chance that my tolerance will evaporate and I will develop a seething and unhealthy resentment about the crumbs on the chopping board and the way he puts the mugs in the glasses cupboard when he empties the dishwasher. That's because Brian, 53, is basically saying his needs are more important than mine. He knows I'm ruffled and after 19 years of marriage, what was once endearing or something to joke about is slowly becoming as grating as nails down a blackboard. Marriage is about love and feeling appreciated and supported. It is definitely far more than just sex. If Brian gambled away our savings, I'd get him help for addiction. Or if he was suddenly ill or disabled, there's no way I'd leave. But feeling resentful, bored or unfulfilled aren't the ingredients for a happy and healthy marriage, if it's to last. These days we live for longer, so the idea of falling out of love in my 50s or 60s and remaining in the marriage for another 20 or so years is an impossible prospect. And that goes both ways because I'm sure I have my 'cheese on the chopping board' moments which can be just as infuriating. I know it drives Brian mad that I insist on always sitting in the same place on the sofa and can happily watch The Big Bang Theory on repeat and invite friends round without checking it's convenient for him. Even high-profile, seemingly solid and long partnerships are breaking up all around us. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, 54, and his wife Cristina Serra split up after 30 years together and having three children. The couple were apparently hoping to reconcile, but reports have since suggested that they are heading for divorce. And at the start of the year, former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond, 55, announced the end of his marriage to Mindy. The pair had been together for 28 years and have two daughters. Statistics show that while the divorce rate in the UK overall is falling, in the over-50s it's rising. Since 1990 it's doubled and experts are predicting it will have tripled by 2030. 'COMPLETELY UNITED" So we have to be realistic. While neither of us have stayed together for the sake of our two sons, aged 18 and 15, having them in common has undoubtedly been a glue that binds me with Brian. We laugh about their antics, we share the same worries about the pressures of exams and whether they're safe and happy or not, and we cheer the boys on together from the sidelines when they play rugby. We are completely united in always wanting the best for them. We work extremely well as a four, but I don't yet know whether we will still work as two. If it's just me and Brian, I worry that I'll feel flat. And what happens if he fills the void of them leaving with gardening or, worse still, golf, which I hate? I can imagine feeling bored rigid as he muses over which club to use, or spends hours perfecting his swing. I'm watching the boys get ready for the rest of their lives. It's so exciting observing them feel their way into adulthood and I love helping my eldest plan his year abroad and his university application. I miss that youthful optimism and I'm not prepared to shelve it for good, nor end up feeling unfulfilled, just because I'm in my sixth decade. I'm a huge believer that we only live once and should enjoy our lives. If it isn't fun then you should change it, and if that means changing your partner or going solo after nearly three decades together, then so be it. I suspect people will think that Brian is more likely to cheat, knowing how I feel. But I disagree. If a man wants to cheat he will do so whether he knows that spells the end of his marriage or not. The only real danger is that he falls in love with another woman. So I will continue making sure I don't find out something I don't want to know about — and if I do, I'll do my best to forgive him. Because at the end of the day, forgiveness is easy compared to living a life that no longer feels like your own. And if I ever stop recognising the woman I've become in this marriage, that's when I'll know it's time to walk away.

Daisy May Cooper shares her 'real name' in sweet social media post
In a post marking her son Benji's first birthday this week, Daisy May Cooper seemingly revealed that her legal surname is still the same as her ex-husband, Will Weston Daisy May Cooper has seemingly shared her real legal name as she posted a sweet throwback photo on social media. The actress and writer, who won the 2018 BAFTA TV Award for Best Female Comedy Performance for playing Kerry Mucklowe in the BBC Three series This Country, has always been known by the surname Cooper since rising to fame. However, in a post shared this week, she revealed that her surname is actually Weston. The photo, shared by Daisy on her Instagram Stories on Friday, is an image of her hospital visit on June 6, 2024, when she gave birth to her son Benji. She wrote: "1 year ago today at 03.04am we welcomed our baby boy into the world." In the snap, her full name is written as Daisy May Weston - the surname of her ex-husband, Will Weston. The pair married in The Cotswolds in September 2019 and they share to children to whom they are "both devoted parents". However, they decided to part ways in 2021 after the Covid-19 lockdown "shone a spotlight" on their marital difficulties. Daisy, 38, is now in a relationship with her new partner, Anthony Huggins, who is Benji's father. The couple met on dating app Hinge in December 2021 and welcomed their child a year ago. When her youngest son was born, Daisy announced the news via Instagram and detailed how the little one arrived earlier than planned, penning: "You came a bit earlier than we expected and gave me the worst post op constipation that I nearly had to phone the Samaritans but my god you are perfect. "I cannot thank @deliverysuitegrh enough. The way you looked after us through such a scary time was above and beyond." Daisy's pregnancy was announced in March last year when she and Anthony packed on PDA while shopping for baby clothes in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The couple held hands when they stepped out for a spot of shopping, with the actress' bump on full display in a figure-hugging all-black look. The pair could barely keep their hands off one another while making the most of the sunny weather, and Daisy was seen heartily laughing as they went about their day. At the time, a source said: "Daisy is pregnant and is really excited to become a mum for the third time with her new partner. The pair have been going strong, so the addition of a baby will only bring them closer together." Then earlier this year, the couple sparked engagement rumours after Daisy was spotted wearing a diamond rock on her ring finger. Speculation that Anthony had popped the question began in February when Daisy was promoting her BBC series Am I Being Unreasonable? on her Instagram Stories and referred to Anthony as her "fiancé" for the first time. In a clip, she jested that her "fit fiancé and baby daddy" would make an appearance on screen. It was reported at the beginning of the year that Daisy and Anthony were happily engaged and "over the moon" with the news after a secret proposal. A source told The Sun at the time: "Daisy and Anthony are madly in love with each other and are a success story for dating apps. Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together." In addition to son Benji, Daisy shares children Pip, five, and Jack, three, with her ex Will. After their break-up, Daisy admitted to The Times: "Will is amazing, an incredible, incredible dad - but fundamentally, there wasn't real love there, I don't think there ever was, really." She went on to reveal that the lockdown "shone a spotlight" on their marital difficulties" and that she needed to be by herself after the strains of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Chris Brown's 'crazy tour budget' as he returns to the stage after UK arrest
Chris Brown has returned to the stage for the first time since his arrest in the UK as the singer entertained crowds at a concert in Amsterdam's Johan Cruyff Arena Chris Brown's fans reacted as the singer returned to the stage following his UK arrest last month. The singer was in Amsterdam to kick off his Breezy Bowl XX tour, which is celebrating 20 years of his career. Followers of the controversial star took to social media to share snippets from the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam which showed an impressive stage set up. Among his lavish designs was a huge human statue that toward over the surrounding, which the star is thought to have performed on. Uploading a clip to Twitter/X, one user wrote: "the budget for this chris brown tour is crazy, he's not playing about his 20 years of career," followed by a flame emoji. Another said: "Oh my GOD," as they showcased the set up in their own video. And a third added an image of the statue with the crowd looking up at the performer. His Amsterdam gig comes after he was arrested in the UK last month. His arrest came after he was accused of using a bottle to cause bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw during a night out at London's Tape nightclub in Mayfair on February 19, 2023. On May 15 this year, Brown was arrested at the Lowry Hotel in Salford. He had recently jetted into nearby Manchester Airport to rehearse for his upcoming Breezy Bowl XX 20th anniversary tour. The singer has been charged with one count of grievous bodily harm. He was initially denied bail and is expected to appear in person at Southwark Crown Court next month. District Judge Joanna Hirst told the court that the charge was too serious to be dealt with at the magistrates ' court. However, the 36-year-old star was later granted bail following a court plea. He was ordered to pay a £5 million security fee to the court. The financial guarantee is to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions. His lawyer, Grace Forbes, had argued that he was a public figure known worldwide as they pleaded for bail to be granted. As well as his Amsterdam performance, Brown is scheduled to perform in cities across the UK, including Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Cardiff. Despite his arrest, Brown's bail conditions enable him to continue with his scheduled international tour this year, including in the UK later this month and July. Following his release on bail, the American singer took to Instagram to tell his 144million followers: "From the cage to the stage!!! Breezybowl." Brown's bold post was seemingly in reference to the fact his bail conditions allow him to honour his tour commitments and perform across Europe ahead of his court date next month.
