Ronnie O'Sullivan rekindles Laila Rouass romance as couple make £2m decision
Ronnie O'Sullivan is set to quit the UK for the Middle East after a series of snooker struggles over the past few months but his partner Laila Rouass looks set to join him after the pair got back together
Snooker legend star Ronnie O'Sullivan has reportedly rekindled his relationship with former fiancee Laila Rouass just nine months after they separated. The Rocket announced his split from the Strictly Come Dancing star last year following 13 years together.
And that split coincided with what was arguably O'Sullivan's most difficult spell on the snooker table. He had barely played in 2025 heading into this year's world championship.
But it now appears that he has reconciled with Rouass, with reports suggesting that the pair are now together. According to The Sun, the couple are now back together and have plans to move to Dubai together.
They have apparently put their £2million Epping Forest home up for sale ahead of the move. A source said: 'They have been back together for a while. The time apart gave them time to think about what they want and what is important to them — and that is being together.
'Ronnie is moving to the Middle East and Laila is going with him. They've talked about living in Dubai, which is just a two-hour flight from where Ronnie has his snooker academy in Saudi Arabia.
'He has spoken to people on his snooker circuit about the move and is excited about a clean break from the UK for him and Laila. They have had their issues in the past but Ronnie and Laila have worked through it and seem really happy again. The people who know them think they make a great couple and just want them to live a happy, quiet life.'
'They've been on and off before but Ronnie really wants to make it work with Laila," they added. "She will be joining him in the Middle East and they'll see how it goes.'
The news of the couple's reunion comes after Rouass broke her silence on their original separation back in March. Taking to Instagram, she said: "Break ups can strip you down to your essence,' she wrote. 'I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It's normal, don't beat yourself up.

"One thing I'm conscious of not doing is trying to get back where I was. No, I'm discovering who I've become. I've gone through various emotions... hurt, pain, anger but what I've realised about anger is that it's bottomless."
O'Sullivan only reached the World Championship semi-finals in May and was eventually defeated by eventual champion Zhao Xintong at the Crucible.

Hollyoaks confirms unexpected new love interest for Clare Devine in dark story
Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) ups the ante in Hollyoaks next week as part of her plan to get Tori (Harriet O'Shea) back in her life – and she uses Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) in order to do so. The legendary schemer, who has done some pretty bad things in her time, stated earlier this week that she had been diagnosed with cancer, claiming the treatment isn't working. In typical Clare fashion, there is no truth to such claims and the development came rather out of the blue, with the villain devising the plan after a trip to the hospital to visit sister Grace Black (Tamara Wall). Upon seeing patients receiving treatment, she formulated a plan, hoping she could use her cancer claims as a way to manipulate herself back into daughter Tori's life. Dodger, who had been hostile towards Clare previously over her role in the exploitation operation, softened once she stated that she had cancer. Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), however, knew full well that Clare was up to no good, urging her brother to proceed with caution where the returnee is concerned. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Clare subsequently asked Dodger for help in shaving her head – and he complied, with a spark seemingly forming between the two. Determined to get Tori back, Clare capitalises on this growing connection next week, with new pictures shared with Metro revealing a first look at the scenes to come. Dodger stumbles upon Clare in a seemingly weakened state and, horrified, he offers to lend a hand. With the undercover cop falling for her lies almost instantly, Clare is delighted and thus she proceeds with the next step of her plan, which entails making him feel very guilty over taking Tori from her given her condition. Mission accomplished. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

Afterwards, a heart-to-heart ensues, with Clare stating that she simply believed Alistair (Drew Cain) was having an affair – not that he was a hardened criminal involved in exploitation. The pair grow incredibly close but a phone call interrupts them, scuppering Clare's plot. For now. More Trending Ever the opportunist, the schemer concocts a plan to get Dodger over to the flat later in the week. Dodger apologises for thinking she had a role to play in her late husband's crimes. The chemistry sizzles and Dodger starts to worry that the lines are getting blurred as he comes to realise that he's starting to fall for Clare. Will Clare succeed in getting what she wants? Or will Dodger see through her lies before it's too late? View More » Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 6am on Channel 4's streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.

Justin and Hailey Bieber's Father's Day 'ends in row as she calls him a child'
Justin Bieber, who spent his Father's Day sharing wild rants, was reportedly branded a 'f***ing child' by wife Hailey amid concerns to their marriage The recent Father's Day was seemingly not a celebratory occasion for Justin Bieber after he spent the day posting erratic messages on social media. On Sunday, Justin got his phone out and went on a wild rant in which he confessed to being 'broken', 'angry' and 'exhausted' from 'thinking about himself all the time'. While most people shared wholesome family snaps of their children and partners, Justin completely snubbed wife Hailey, who he previously admitted he once told her she would never be on the cover of Vogue. On the day, he shared snaps of himself holding what appeared to be a joint and later told fans he was "a dad that's not to be f***ed with." He then shared multiple photos of his lavish gifts, including an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, which retails for $38,000, two Prada backpacks and an Apple laptop. However, captioning the eye-wateringly expensive haul he wrote: "Happy daddies day to me u lil ho," with many thinking the crude remark was a dig at wife, Hailey. Hailey took a swipe at him in the comment section following his brutal remark to her on Mother's Day where he posed: "Mother's Day sucks a**." She responded under his post: "Father's Day sucks a**." And now, according to recent reports, his wife Hailey was 'beyond furious' about his erratic posts and branded him a "f***ing child" before asking him to get professional help. Speaking to The Sun, an insider claimed the post 'set her off' as she told him 'it was one of the dumbest things he's ever done'. "She's been telling him for a while to get help - see a therapist, talk to someone who can help him manage his anger and mood swings. Hailey didn't want him to post that message," they said. "She's fed up with his childish behaviour and the constant negativity he brings onto himself. She told him to stop being a 'f***ing child' and to finally start listening to the people who care about him." Many of Justin's fans were convinced that his Father's Day posts, shared over a worrying six-hour spree, were the result of his dramatic mental health spiral. They were followed at 5.50am last week by a long Instagram story in which he confessed to being 'broken', 'angry' and 'exhausted' from thinking about himself all the time. He told fans: "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already. I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. 'The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am. Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly, I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately, aren't you?,' the post concluded.
