The pop star tied the knot with George Michael in an intimate ceremony in London on Saturday, July 19, 2025. A video posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, showed the newlyweds posing for photos alongside family members outside of Hackney Town Hall. The bride and groom kept the guest list for the occasion relatively small—only about 20 of the duo's loved ones were reportedly in attendance for the affair. And after exchanging vows and making their union official, the "360" singer and the guitarist opted to walk to their venue, according to Page Six.
The pared-back ceremony isn't necessarily a surprise for the couple. Earlier this year, the "Apple" singer spoke about her desire for a low-key celebration in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. "We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party," she said, according to the Daily Mail. "Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends."

Charli XCX's Wedding Dress: All of the Details to Know
The Grammy winner selected a surprising ensemble for her nuptials: a corset-style mini. While she hasn't yet released the name of the designer behind the piece, it resembles the Vivienne Westwood dress worn by Demi Lovato earlier this year, which featured an off-the-shoulder neckline and corset bodice. The "party 4 u" singer completed her look with white pumps, a veil, and a bouquet of white flowers. Rather than an updo or half-up style, she opted to keep her hair down for her nuptials. In a nod to her go-to look, the Brat star made sure to slip on a pair of her signature black sunglasses for her walk to the reception venue.
Ensuring his look coordinated with his partner's, Michael pinned an oversized white boutonnière comprised of the same flowers that appeared in the bridal bouquet to his double-breasted suit jacket. Opting for forgo a tie, the guitarist donned a neutral-hued button-up shirt for the ceremony. A few of his bandmates from the 1975, including Adam Han and Ross MacDonald were in attendance for the big day, according to the Daily Mail.
The couple, who were first romantically linked in March 2022, announced their engagement in November 2023. "charli xcx and george daniel f–king for life!!!," the singer captioned a since-deleted Instagram post, according to Page Six. Before confirming their relationship, the duo worked on music together, collaborating for her song "In the City" with Sam Smith, as well as a number of tracks on Crash, an album released by Charli in 2022.

J-Hope's Entire Solo Chart History Reappears On The Same List
K-pop stars are known as some of the bestselling musicians in the world these days. While many music fans have migrated to streaming platforms to consume the songs and albums they love, the biggest names emerging from the South Korean music industry have a tendency to sell huge quantities of individual tunes and full-lengths and EPs, usually on physical formats. Diehard K-pop fans often prefer CDs and, in some cases, vinyl, as the genre lends itself to collectibles. J-Hope, one of the seven singers that make up BTS, proves his selling ability once again in one of the largest music markets in the world this week. He returns to the Official Physical Singles chart, the U.K.'s ranking of the top-selling individual tunes available on any physical format. Typically that means vinyl, but for J-Hope, CDs are the go-to choice. 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Killin' It Girl' Reappear 'Sweet Dreams,' his collaboration with Miguel, and 'Killin' It Girl,' a team-up with rapper GloRilla, both find their way back to the roster this frame, coming in at Nos. 35 and 60, respectively. Both 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Killin' It Girl' debuted on the Official Physical Singles chart this year. J-Hope has only sent two tracks to the list as a soloist throughout his career, and his entire charting discography appears on the roster at the moment. J-Hope's Former No. 1 Hit Between the two, 'Sweet Dreams' is the bigger hit. It's the only one that reached No. 1, as 'Killin' It Girl' stalled one space shy of leading the charge. 'Sweet Dreams' has also spent more than four times as many frames on the Official Physical Singles ranking as 'Killin' It Girl,' with 14 weeks compared to the three that the GloRilla collaboration has managed thus far. Both J-Hope Smashes Haven't Been Gone For Long 'Sweet Dreams' last appeared on the format-specific list on the chart dated July 24, when it reappeared at No. 80 and then fell away. 'Killin' It Girl,' meanwhile, opened at No. 2 on the chart dated June 26, then fell to No. 19 and vanished. 'LV Bag' and 'Mona Lisa' J-Hope has spent 2025 doling out single after single, and he has dropped four solo tracks this year. In addition to 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Killin' It Girl,' he was credited on 'LV Bag' alongside Don Toliver, Speedy, and Pharrell Williams, and he also delivered the tune 'Mona Lisa.' All four cuts are standalone singles at the moment, as they haven't been connected to a larger project. J-Hope last released his EP Hope on the Street Vol. 1 in the spring of 2024.

8 celebrities who left the US or are considering moving for political reasons
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi In late November 2024, TheWrap reported that comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, left their Montecito home for the Cotswolds, England. The publication said their move to the countryside was triggered by Trump's election and a source said they're "never coming back." An August 2025 Us cover story notes that DeGeneres told English broadcaster and host Richard Bacon during a July 20 event that she and DeGeneres were in the Cotswolds when the election results came in. "We were like, 'We're staying here. We're not going back,'" DeGeneres told Bacon on their reaction to Trump's victory. According to the Us story, DeGeneres and de Rossi have since moved from the original home they purchased in the Cotswolds and now live in a 10,000-square-foot country home called Hiaven. The pair tend to their chickens, sheep, and horses and walk to the local pub for lunch. Rosie O'Donnell In a video recently posted on TikTok, Rosie O'Donnell confirmed that she moved from the US to Ireland with her youngest daughter, Dakota. The actor relocated on January 15, days before Trump's inauguration. "Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child," O'Donnell said in the video. The talk show host, who has Irish grandparents, said her experience so far has been "pretty wonderful" and she's in the process of getting Irish citizenship. O'Donnell said that she misses her four other kids and her friends, but will remain in Ireland for the time being. "I miss many things about life there at home, and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country," she said. "And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there, in America, that's when we will consider coming back." Sophie Turner UK-born actor Sophie Turner moved to America after marrying singer Joe Jonas. The couple first lived together in Los Angeles and later in Miami with their two daughters Willa and Delphine. Turner and Jonas sold their Miami home in August 2023 and news of their plans to divorce broke weeks later. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar published in October 2024, Turner said that she was homesick while living in the US and struggled with the country's politics. Turner has since moved to West London. "The gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned... Everything just kind of piled on," Turner said. "After the Uvalde shooting, I knew it was time to get the fuck out of there." Barbra Streisand It was no secret that Barbra Streisand wanted Hillary Clinton to beat Trump in the 2016 election. "He has no facts," Streisand told Australian "60 Minutes" host Michael Usher in a 2016 interview prior to the election. "I don't know, I can't believe it. I'm either coming to your country, if you'll let me in, or Canada." Streisand didn't move out of the US, but she did criticize Trump in her 2018 studio album "Walls." In a 2023 interview with Stephen Colbert, Streisand said that she liked Joe Biden and thought he did a "good job." When asked about the possibility of a second Trump administration, Streisand again said she'd move. "I can't live in this country if he became president," she said, adding that she'd probably move to England. Per an Instagram post shared in early January amid the Los Angeles wildfires, it appears that Streisand still lives in Northern California. Reps for Streisand did not reply to a request for comment. Cher In November 2016, Page Six reported that Cher threatened to move if Trump was elected. "I'm gonna have to leave the planet," she reportedly said at a fundraiser for Clinton. She had a similar stance before Trump officially ran for reelection. "I almost got an ulcer the last time," she told The Guardian in October 2023. "If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country]." However, as of publication, it doesn't appear that Cher has relocated. Reps for Cher did not reply to a request for comment. Laverne Cox Days after the 2024 presidential election, "Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox appeared on the podcast " Just for Variety" and spoke about the impact the results would have on the transgender community. Cox said that she and some friends were considering moving, but no plans have been solidified yet. "We're doing research on different cities in Europe and in the Caribbean," Cox said. "I don't want to be in too much fear, but I'm scared," the actor added. "As a public figure, with all my privilege, I'm scared, and I'm particularly scared because I'm a public figure. I feel like I could be targeted." Lena Dunham At the 2016 Matrix Awards, "Girls" actor Lena Dunham said that she was serious about moving if Trump won the election. "I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will," Dunham said. "I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there." But after the election results, Dunham changed her mind. "I can survive staying in this country, MY country, to fight and live and use my embarrassment of blessings to do what's right," she wrote in part in a note shared on Instagram. "It's easy to joke about moving to Canada," she added. "It's harder to see, and to love, the people who fill your mailbox with hate. It's harder to see what needs to be done and do it. It's harder to live, fully and painfully aware of the injustice surrounding us, to cherish and fear your country all at once. But I'm willing to try. Will you try with me?" Dunham did eventually leave her home in New York and moved to London. However, in an interview with the New Yorker published in July 2024, the actor said the move was prompted by work opportunities.
