Rupert Murdoch's 'wild child' granddaughter Charlotte Freud reveals she has finally found love after disaster 14-month marriage
Rupert Murdoch 's granddaughter Charlotte Freud has proclaimed her love for her new boyfriend following her disastrous marriage.
In March, Charlotte hard launched her relationship with Hollywood actor Isaak Presley in a sexy, western-themed photo shoot.
And now, the 25-year-old has made a big statement about her romance with the Fuller House star in a heartwarming social media post.
Charlotte took to her Instagram story on Monday to wish her boyfriend a happy 23rd birthday alongside a series of sweet videos and photos.
One clip showed the couple in a passionate embrace as they posed in front of the Eiffel Tower.

'I love you very much,' she captioned the clip, which showed the actor dipping Charlotte during a heated makeout session.
The singer is currently living with her new beau - who goes by the nickname 'Cowboy' owing to his love of horse riding - in Los Angeles, where she is focusing on writing musicals.
Friends say Isaak, who starred in Stuck in the Middle alongside rising star Jenna Ortega, is a really good match for Charlotte.
They are both sober, having struggled with alcohol and drug addiction in the past - with Charlotte's former hedonistic lifestyle earning her the unsavoury 'wild child' label.
Charlotte's budding relationship with the actor comes after her disaster 14-month marriage to Luke Storey.
She previously married the British rapper - 15 years her senior - in 2022.
They wed at St Mary's Church in Westwell, Oxfordshire, with her grandad Rupert flying in amid his divorce from his fourth wife, Texan supermodel Jerry Hall.
However the pair split just 14 months later - though she claims it was over almost immediately after saying 'I do'.
'We had been married for 12 hours when our whole world fell apart,' she explained.
'He relapsed on the way to our honeymoon. It wasn't a great sign.'
Charlotte met Luke – a self-confessed recovering drug and alcohol addict – when she was just 18 and he was 33.
He encouraged Charlotte to join Narcotics Anonymous, helping to end her addiction to ketamine.
Charlotte once admitted that she used ketamine so frequently during high school that peers nicknamed her 'K-angel' after the drug.
She said she struggled to cope with the high-profile scandals involving her family and 'overcompensated' for her glamorous upbringing by rebelling at school.
Charlotte said she soon realised that recovery would play a big part in her marriage.
She said: 'It felt like there were three people in the relationship – me and him and our recovery.
'If our recovery was strong then we were strong, and if it wasn't we were falling apart. We had a great relationship when we were sober, but neither of us could stay sober.

BBC The Traitors releases brand new season and you can watch all 12 episodes now
A brand new series of The Traitors has just dropped on BBC iPlayer. The Traitors fans who are struggling to pass the time between the latest season of the show and the highly anticipated Celebrity version later this year will be delighted to know the BBC has just dropped a new season of the programme to make the wait more bearable. The latest season saw Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown take home the grand crash prize after a nail-biting finale was filled with brutal banishments. Since then, the BBC has confirmed the star-studded cast list for the upcoming Celebrity Traitors, which includes Charlotte Church, Alan Carr, and Jonathan Ross among the contestants. The show will air on screens this autumn but if that feels too far away then the spin-off series The Traitors NZ has just dropped on iPlayer. All 12 episodes are now available to stream while the programme airs on BBC Three. The second season of the New Zealand edition of the show sees 22 contestants descend on Claremont Manor, which sits at the foot of Mount Horrible in Timaru. The group of Kiwis compete around the roundtable in the hopes of winning up to $100k, which equates to over £44k, the Metro reports. The spin off sees UK host Claudia Winkleman's role being filled by New Zealand TV presenter Paul Henry, who also hosts the New Zealand version of The Chase, making him the local equivalent of Bradley Walsh. The new season of the psychological game show is filled with classic mind games, kicking off with a bizarre task that asks the contestants to search the ground for body parts of a doll. The inaugural season of The Traitors NZ relied on offbeat casting choices, with many contestants knowing one another before entering the Manor, to make the show stand out from its British, American and Australian editions. Anyone unsure about whether or not its their cup of tea, its difficult to make a dismal season of The Traitors when the format is fairly bulletproof. After the group of Traitors are selected by Henry in the first episode, the new season quickly moves on to the murdering and manipulation. Commenting underneath an X post announcing the new season of The Traitors NZ, fans rushed to have their say on the show. One particularly enthusiastic viewer even went as far as to brand it as the 'by far the best English speaking series of The Traitors.' Another impressed viewer echoed: "I enjoyed this season some good players and deceiving." A third penned: "This is so good!! I'm obsessed." A fourth simply stated: "Can't stop watching this!" Elsewhere in The Traitors universe, the US spin-off is set to return soon with a new cast of celebs waiting to enter the Scottish castle. Hosted by the iconic Scots presenter Alan Cumming, the season four cast has been confirmed. It includes big names like Love Island star Maura Higgins and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna. The Traitors NZ is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, with episodes airing on BBC Three from 8pm on July 16.

Virgin Radio UK's Ryan Tubridy confirms engagement to partner Clare Kambamettu: 'It's a very exciting time to be alive'
Virgin Radio host Ryan Tubridy has announced his engagement to his girlfriend Dr Clare Kambamettu. The presenter, 52, confirmed the happy news during the Tuesday broadcast of his radio show. Ryan, who is from Dublin, told how the couple got engaged during a visit to the west of Ireland last week. 'I have a little bit of news that I've been keeping to myself, to ourselves,' he told listeners at the beginning of his show. 'I'm very, very, very happy to confirm I did get engaged to my partner Clare in the west of Ireland on Thursday evening.' He thanked listeners who sent in their well wishes and said the engagement is a 'beautiful feeling' and it's 'a very exciting time to be alive'. He added: 'We were surrounded by gorgeous people who we didn't know, strangers in the hotel, and people who were working around the place and got a beautiful ring organised, and the weather was gorgeous. 'And it's just the accumulation of a lot of lovely things happening, and I just decided now is the time. 'More to follow in terms of details and all the rest of it. And by the more to follow, I mean I'll tell my family first. 'It's a very exciting time to be alive. I'm a very, very lucky man, and I think it's one of those beautiful moments where the world feels lighter.' O'Dalaigh Jewellers in Clifden, County Galway had posted on social media that Ryan had come to them 'discreetly' looking for a ring for a 'very special lady'. The jewellers shared a photo of Ryan and Clare outside the store with a member of staff. However, after media queries to Ryan's agent by the Irish press, the post was deleted. Clare was born in Leeds to an Indian father and an Irish mother. She won the annual Irish beauty pageant The Rose of Tralee in 2010 when she was 26. They confirmed their relationship when they attended the Irish Post Book Awards together in 2023. He was previously married to producer Anne Marie Power who he shares daughters Ella and Julia with. Ryan joined Virgin Radio UK in January 2024 to present its mid-morning programme after The Chris Evans Show. He has also sporadically presented programmes on BBC Radio 2 over the years. He is widely known in Ireland for hosting chat show The Late Late Show from 2009 to 2023. The show is now hosted by Patrick Kielty.

Monty Python star rushed to hospital for third time in two days as he reveals health battle
A MONTY Python star has been rushed to hospital for a third time in just two days. LA-based Eric Idle, 82, took to social media platform X to inform fans of his health issue. 3 3 He wrote: "So I'd like to thank all the doctors nurses and staff in the Cedars GI ward for their kindness and help to me today. The second time in three days. I think I'm suffering from Gastroenteritis. I love you people." Gastroenteritis is a common condition that sees inflammation inside the stomach cause issues like vomiting and diarrhea. Severe cases can lead to dehydration which may require medical treatment. Fans wished him well, with one writing: "Get well soon Eric." Another said: "Praying for healing for you sir. :)" Last year Idle revealed the surviving Pythons were locked in a bitter feud over finances. He claimed he receives only a fraction of the millions the legendary comedy team have made in the past. And he took aim at Holly Gilliam, the TV lawyer daughter of fellow Python Terry Gilliam, 84. She took over the Python brand in 2013 as part of HDG Projects Ltd. In messages on X, Idle wrote: 'I don't know why people always assume we're loaded. "I have to work for my living. I never dreamed that at this age the income streams would tail off so disastrously. Monty Python's John Cleese and Terry Gilliam reunite with Michael Palin for 81st birthday as fans praise the 'silly men' 'I have been working and earning for Pythons since 1995. And now no more.' In a dig at Holly Gilliam, he added: 'I guess if you put a Gilliam child in as your manager you should not be so surprised. 'One Gilliam is bad enough. Two can take out any company.' Daughter Lily Idle backed him, writing online: 'I'm so proud of my dad for finally finally finally starting to share the truth.' The Pythons, who also included John Cleese, 85, Michael Palin, 81, and the late Terry Jones — made a mint thanks to films, including Life of Brian, hit stage show Spamalot, which Idle co-wrote, and the original Flying Circus BBC TV series. They were back in the limelight in 2014 with Monty Python Live (Mostly) — One Down, Five to Go, a reference to former member Graham Chapman who died in 1989 aged just 48. It featured interpretations of some of their sketches, and reportedly earned the surviving members at least £2million each. It was a hit in Europe and the US and is still running on Broadway. Idle, who lives in California, dismissed comments suggesting he must still be wealthy, saying he had sold his house. He added: 'We still get something but not enough to keep me on the beaches.' Cleese was recently asked about his relationship with Idle by Candis Magazine and said: "We used to be close. But not in recent years.' 3
