Junior Andre, 20, reveals his parents' reaction to his relationship with girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24, as she recalls first meeting
Junior Andre has revealed how his parents reacted to his relationship with girlfriend Jasmine Orr, as she recalled the moment they met for the first time. The 20-year-old son of Peter Andre and Katie Price has been dating Jasmine, 24, since April 2024 after the pair met through events while she was working in PR. Speaking in a joint interview after moving in together to a flat in Surrey, the couple gave an update as they take the next big step in their relationship. Junior told The Mirror: 'They were really happy for us and supportive. My parents were both there if we needed anything while moving, and we're still going to be going for barbecues at Dad's, or to my mum's for movie nights.' Recalling the moment she first met Junior's parent's, Jasmine admitted: 'I was nervous but I feel like it's always nerve-wracking when you're meeting the family of the person you're dating! 'But I had met Princess before, which made it easier. It was just the nerves of wanting to make a good impression.' Junior appeared more smitten than ever with Jasmine as the couple packed on the PDA in a string of new loved-up snaps. The singer took to Instagram to share photos from a glamorous outing together at the weekend, both dressed to the nines for the occasion. Junior looked positively besotted as he wrapped an arm around Jasmine and planted a kiss on her head, before the couple shared a passionate smooch. He cut a dapper figure in a charcoal grey suit over a black turtleneck jumper and a chunky silver chain, while the pair sipped on glasses of fizz. Meanwhile, Jasmine flaunted her incredible curves in a figure-hugging one-shouldered dress with a daring thigh-high slit, while toting a small white handbag. Captioning the stunning shots with her boyfriend, she simple wrote: 'Yesterday' followed by champagne glass emojis and a heart. Junior, who is following in his popstar dad's footsteps by pursuing a singing career, first revealed he had a 'secret' girlfriend in April last year, claiming he would even turn down Dua Lipa for her. And in July they took the next step in their relationship by setting up a new joint TikTok profile to share videos of themselves together. Like Junior, Jasmine also made appearances on reality TV, previously starring on Celebs Go Dating, where she had a short dalliance with Adam Collard and famously exposed the reality star's brutal comments towards his former flame Lottie Moss. While she counts a number of Love Island stars as friends on Instagram including Tom Clare, Curtis Pritchard, Jack Fincham and Coco Lodge. Junior's mother Katie, 46, also gave Jasmine her seal of approval, ahead of meeting her for the first time. Speaking on her Katie Price Show podcast with her sister Sophie in May, she defended the couple's age gap and said she 'can't wait' to meet Jasmine. The former glamour model gushed: 'She's so pretty! I remember watching her on Celebs Go Dating.' Insisting she isn't worried about Jasmine being five years older, she added: 'Isn't it funny when your kids get older and they get in relationships and you meet their girlfriends and boyfriends as they're adults, she's an adult. They're not like young kids at school.' While last month, the Mail reported that Jasmine has become the key to strengthening Katie and Junior's once-fractious relationship, with the teenager living with his dad and step-mother Emily MacDonagh in Surrey. He is said to have started building bridges with his mother since he started dating Jasmine, with the two women now becoming almost inseparable. Read More Junior Andre, 19, looks more loved-up than ever as he packs on PDA with girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24 The young couple are now regular visitors to Katie's house instead of Peter's, as the pop star has stricter rules at his home and won't allow Junior or his younger sister Princess to have partners stay over. A source close to Jasmine told the Mail: 'Jasmine is obsessed with Katie and can't believe that she's now part of the family. They have struck up quite a friendship, Jasmine has become like a daughter to Katie which is very sweet. 'They hit it off pretty much straight away. Katie sees a lot of her younger self in Jasmine and loves how she dresses. Jasmine really looks up to Katie but Katie also loves the way Jasmine does her hair and make-up, and her outfits. 'There's a real mutual obsession between the pair but the most lovely thing about it all is that it has brought Katie and Junior together and they are now much closer and see far more of one another.' The source added that 'the way Katie lives her life' means neither Junior nor Princess, 17, have seen her much. But they went on: 'Things have been tricky at times but now things are lovely between them. Many a young woman would be terrified of Katie but Jasmine just adores her.' Yet, while it would seem that Jasmine has helped build bridges between mother and son, some close to the family find the whole situation rather unnerving. 'It's like they want to be each other and it's weird,' a source tells me. 'A few of their friends have noticed what's been going on but Junior is completely besotted with Jasmine. 'You only have to look at some of their recent pictures to see that Katie has been copying Jasmine's looks and vice-versa. 'After all 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' and that's exactly what the pair are doing.'

Stevie Wonder closes off Love, Light and Song tour in heatwave Hyde Park
The soul singer was led onto the stage at the British Summer Time (BST) on Saturday in front of 65,000 people by his children, who also performed with him during his two-hour set. Wearing a white tunic embroidered with the faces of John Lennon and Marvin Gaye, he welcomed the crowd with a London-accented 'hello'. Wonder celebrated the technology that has made music more accessible for people and expressed his hope that more musicians will use their platform to help others, adding: 'Because every single person who is blind should be able to see in their own way.' Signed, sealed, delivered! Thank you, @StevieWonder ❤️#BSTHydePark #StevieWonder — BST Hyde Park (@BSTHydePark) July 12, 2025 He added: 'And if you don't believe me, you don't agree, meet in the dark and let's see what happens.' Wonder also gestured at the embroidered faces on his tunic, saying the names but pointing to the wrong face. As he did so, he said: 'Sorry y'all, I'm blind you know.' The first song, Love's In Need of Love Today, was followed by a tribute to John Lennon's Imagine. After soloing on the harmonica, Wonder launched into Master Blaster (Jammin') and said: 'Now that we've made our point perfectly, clear, let's get to this.' At 75 years old, Wonder has not lost any of his vocal power. His saxophone-like voice glided through each song as he tilted his body left to right. It was his first UK performance since he last played BST in 2019 and people from the crowd kept shouting: 'Yes Stevie, we love you!' To which Wonder replied: 'I love y'all too.' Underneath his black leather beret and behind his dark, sparkly sunglasses, Wonder also paid tribute to the funk-rock star Sly Stone who died last month. He was joined by around 20 musicians on stage, including two other keyboard players, a brass section and backing vocalists that included his daughter Aisha Morris. As the sun set over heatwave-baked Hyde Park, the stage lit up as a jukebox showing many of Wonder's hits over his six-decade career. He dedicated the song Happy Birthday to his daughter Sophia saying it was her birthday on July 13, inviting her to the front of the stage mid-song. The band then flew into I Wish and Isn't She Lovely, with another harmonica solo that sent whoops and cheers through the densely-packed crowd. Wonder's penultimate song started with him tapping one key with one finger, saying 'we've got to do this one', before the famous-funky riff of Superstition filled the darkening arena. The band continued playing past the official cut off time of 10pm with Wonder egging on the crowd, singing: 'I know we've got to go but we're gonna keep this party going.' He then finished with Another Star, with many of the guest singers joining him at the front of the stage. As the band continued playing, Wonder lined up with his family and bowed to the audience. His last comment before leaving the stage was: 'I love you with my deepest heart and there's nothing you can do about it.' Wonder was supported by Ezra Collective, Thee Sacred Souls, Elmiene and Corinne Bailey Rae, among others. It was the last of five shows in Wonder's Love, Light and Song UK tour, where he also played in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Lytham.

Iga Swiatek fires back at her doubters by winning maiden Wimbledon title
The Pole crushed first-time grand slam finalist Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 in less than an hour on Centre Court, making it the most one-sided final for 114 years. Not since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby, had a Wimbledon title been decided by such a scoreline, while the only other instance at a grand slam came in the French Open in 1988 when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva. A new Wimbledon champion is crowned 🇵🇱 Iga Swiatek defeats Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win the 2025 Ladies' Singles Trophy 🏆#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 12, 2025 Swiatek had slipped to eighth in the world rankings after a disappointing clay season by her extremely lofty standards, with the 24-year-old failing to win the French Open for the first time since 2021. 'We as public people and as athletes, we can't really react to everything what's going on,' said Swiatek, who served a one-month doping ban at the end of last season after taking contaminated medication. 'We've got to focus on ourselves. Obviously sometimes it's easier to do that, sometimes it's harder. For sure, the past months, how the media sometimes describe me – and I've got to say, unfortunately, Polish media, how they treated me and my team, it wasn't really pleasant. 'I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job because obviously you can see that we know what we are doing, and I have the best people around me. Iga Swiatek celebrates victory (Adam Davy/PA) 'I have already proved a lot. I know people want more and more, but it's my own process and my own life and my own career.' Swiatek maintained her unblemished record in grand slam finals, making it six titles and becoming the first Polish player, male or female, to win a Wimbledon singles trophy. By adding the grass-court title to her four French Open crowns and one US Open trophy she has also now won slams on all the surfaces. She had never previously been beyond the Wimbledon quarter-finals, and she said: 'It's something that is just surreal. I feel like tennis keeps surprising me, and I keep surprising myself. The Princess of Wales presents the Venus Rosewater Dish to Iga Swiatek (Andrew Matthews/PA) 'I think the fact that it's on grass, for sure it makes it more special, I would say, and more unexpected. So it feels like the emotions are bigger because, at Roland Garros, I know I can play well, and I know I can show it every year. Here, I wasn't sure of that. I also needed to prove that to myself.' Anisimova's comeback has been one of the stories of the fortnight, with the former teenage prodigy having stepped away from tennis for eight months in 2023 for mental health reasons. She came into the final off the back of a semi-final victory over Aryna Sabalenka but from the start appeared paralysed by nerves. Anisimova's serve deserted her and there were many more errors than winners off the ground. Amanda Anisimova failed to win a game (Adam Davy/PA) The crowd, who had paid more than £300 each per ticket, willed the American to find a foothold in the contest but Swiatek was utterly ruthless. Another treat for the Pole was receiving the trophy from the Princess of Wales. 'On court she just congratulated (me),' said Swiatek. 'She told me some nice stuff about the performance. Later on, I don't remember really because I was too overwhelmed. 'I didn't want to do any faux pas. I wanted to behave well. Overall the process of getting the trophy from Her Royal Highness was something surreal. Since I'm a kid, honestly I'm a big fan of the Royal family. It was amazing.'
