My eight rules for dating after you turn 60: FIONA LAMBERT reveals her ultimate guide to midlife romance - from what to put on your profile, the red flags to avoid and just when you should hop into bed
When I became single at 61, lots of people told me how 'brave' I was to take that step, particularly 'at my age'. They seemed surprised that I'd chosen to be single as a midlife woman but, in fact, I've found that dating in your 60s can be enormous fun.
I was married to my ex-husband for 31 years. I loved him but having met when I was 23 and he was 26, we developed into different people with different interests and goals.

Annie Kilner shows off her incredible figure in a black bikini as she joins shirtless Kyle Walker after confirming they are back together on Florida family holiday
and Kyle Walker enjoyed some relaxing downtime by the pool on during a sun-soaked family holiday in Florida. The couple's relationship has made headlines as it was claimed it was 'as bad as it's ever been' after Annie, 33, served Kyle, 35, with divorce papers in October 2024. However, after enlisting their family to dog-sit back home, they then jetted off on a sun-soaked family holiday, with the Mail exclusively confirming this week that they are officially back together. With plans to divorce now in the past, the couple were seen chatting while at the pool with their kids - Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six and five-month-old Rezon. Annie showed off her incredible figure in a plunging black bikini, which she styled with fitted bike shorts during their family day out. She fixed a pair of reflective shades on top of her raven tresses as she strolled alongside Kyle. The Manchester City ace put his toned frame and intricate tattoos on full display as he went shirtless in a pair of vibrant blue board shorts. The couple have been making the most of their time together on a five-star holiday to Disneyworld, where onlookers claimed the family seemed 'extremely happy'. They jetted off not long after Kyle returned from Italy, where he was on loan to AC Milan. This week, it emerged that the couple are back together after Lauryn Goodman told Annie that Kyle was the father of just her son Kairo, but also her newborn baby daughter Kinara. 'They are back together,' a friend exclusively told the Mail. 'This wasn't a 'make-or-break' holiday. It was a proper family trip where they were back together as man and wife. 'They flew off - leaving the dogs at home to look after the house - and they were determined to have a great time. 'Annie was obviously devastated and very, very angry about what Kyle did, so she threw him out for six months. After he moved back in they tried and tried. It was a hard process. 'Deep down, they both knew that they wanted to be together - but there were so many distractions.' Annie wore a pair of oval shades while she added another pair on top of her tresses at one point Annie had previously spotted with Kyle in Cheshire as they enjoyed a day out together after he jetted back to the UK, fuelling rumours of their reunion. Earlier, it had been claimed that Annie and Kyle's relationship was 'as bad as it's ever been', as the footballer ponders his next move following an unsuccessful spell at AC Milan. Kyle reportedly landed himself in hot water after he was seen partying with two models in Milan, prompting Annie to allegedly tell her husband to be 'incredibly careful'. The full-back is now back in the UK and according to pals had been 'barely speaking' with Annie, who was struggling to move on from the footballer's affairs with Lauryn. Kyle hoped his stint in Italy with the seven-time Champions League winners would trigger a fresh start for himself and Annie - who ended up staying in Cheshire with their kids. Being away from the 'noise' of his sex scandal was a major reason behind his hasty departure from Manchester City in January. But the Rossoneri have declined the opportunity to sign Kyle for an extra year, meaning he will now have to find another club. City boss Pep Guardiola indicated the defender has no future at the Etihad, despite having one year left on his contract. Lauryn fell pregnant with her son Kairo while Kyle was 'on a break' from Annie back in 2019, leading to him and Annie briefly separating. However, the childhood sweethearts got back together shortly afterwards and married in secret in 2022. But in the winter of that year, after another brief fling with Kyle, Lauryn once again fell pregnant with Kyle's baby and the following summer, his daughter Kinara was born. Annie then threw Kyle out of the family home two weeks later, and Kyle then spoke out about the situation, describing the relationship as 'stupid' and a 'mistake'. In turn, Lauryn hit back claim that his words were 'unimaginably cruel' towards her children, with a very public row and court case between Kyle and Lauryn following. Kyle and Annie don't yet know what their future together will bring, but Kyle is reportedly looking at offers from football teams in the UK and also Europe.

Ryan Lochte's 'betrayed' wife Kayla reveals his six-figure income as bitter divorce feud continues
Ryan Lochte 's six-figure income has been revealed by his 'betrayed' wife Kayla Reid as she requests child support and alimony for the couple's three kids amid their bitter divorce dispute. Reid announced earlier this month that she had filed for divorce from the six-time gold medalist in March, after seven years of marriage. At the time, the former Playboy playmate branded the divorce 'painful' and referenced 'trials we didn't choose or see coming', while Lochte said he was 'deeply grateful for the life we've built together'. Neither revealed exactly what led to their marriage becoming 'irretrievably broken'. Now, their splitting of assets has seen Reid submit court documents stating Lochte's annual income of 2024 as $350,437, per Us. Reid has a reported net worth of $102,940.06, with her work as a relator and social-media influencer earning her $196,160 before taxes last year. After federal and state taxes have been taken out, Reid is left with $11,997 in monthly income, not covering her monthly expenses of $17,091.92, a deficit of over $60,000 a year. Reid also stated in court documents that 'there is no guarantee' she will continue at that level of income. An additional wage of $1,500 per month help with social media pages for her employer was paid out last year, but has not continued in 2025. Reid also revealed more than $5,000 in debt to multiple places - Discover Card, American Airlines, and clothing store T.J. Maxx. A court has yet to rule on the matter between Lochte, 40, and Reid, as their divorce continues to play out over a months-long saga. As revealed by the Daily Mail, however, the couple owe nearly $270,000 in various debts, while they are also fighting over the custody of their three children - Caiden Zane, seven, Liv Rae, five, and Georgia June, one. Earlier this week, Reid, 34, took to social media to post cryptic comments about the divorce, including that she is 'stepping into the best chapter of her life'. The former Playboy playmate posted a series of pictures and videos alongside 'reminders' of what she is 'telling herself right now'. 'Sometimes God allows the betrayal... because it leads to the breakthrough,' one read. Kayla's petition for divorce, filed in Florida, asked the court for 'sole parenting responsibility' 'Divorce isn't the end of my story. It's the beginning of my rebirth... I didn't choose to be broken, but I'm choosing to rebuild.' She added: 'You're stepping into the best chapter of your life - you just have to heal first... most people have no idea what I've endured. Ignore their opinions. Truth always reveals itself.' Kayla's petition for divorce, filed in north central Florida's Alachua County, asked the court for 'sole parenting responsibility' or at least 'ultimate decision-making authority' and 'majority timesharing,' Daily Mail previously reported. 'Wife is fit and proper to assume sole parental responsibility for the minor children of he parties. Shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the children,' her lawyers wrote. However, Lochte responded by insisting it was in the best interests of Caiden, Liv and Georgia for their parents to share custody. But his April 28 counter-petition, prepared by attorney Justin Jacobson, also included multiple errors when it came to details of their birthdays and places of birth. Lochte said all three were born in May but – as Kayla pointed out in a subsequent filing – Caiden was born June 8, 2017, Liv was born June 17, 2019, and Georgia was born June 21, 2023. The gold medalist swimmer and former Playboy Playmate tied the knot in Palm Springs, California, in January 2018, after previously going public with their relationship in 2016.

Lizzo shows off her weight loss in plunging swimsuit
Lizzo showed off her weight loss in a high-cut swimsuit on Friday - after she admitted to briefly using Ozempic to help her shed the pounds. The singer, 37, shared an album of photos of herself in the swimwear on Instagram. Alongside the images was a video of Lizzo being seemingly sprayed with sunscreen. Later that night, she stepped out to dinner in a slinky cocktail dress. Lizzo was headed out to the upscale West Hollywood eatery Craig's. Lizzo opened up about using Ozempic last week during an episode of Trisha Paytas's Just Trish podcast. She said she started taking the weight loss aid in 2023 but soon came to the conclusion that GLP-1 medication wouldn't help her in the long term. 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.' 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.'
