Perth Now5 days ago

Ally Brooke has got married to her longtime partner Will Bracey.
The 31-year-old singer, best known for her time with girl group Fifth Harmony, tied the knot with Will, 38, in an intimate ceremony at the Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles, on Saturday 3 May, People reported – with the magazine carrying exclusive pictures of the pair's big day.
Ally told the publication she considered married life 'the most incredible feeling I've ever felt'.
The couple were joined only by their officiant, Judah Smith, 46, as they exchanged vows at sunset.
'I love being a wife, and I love my husband so much,' Ally also told People.
The wedding marked a change of plans for the couple, who originally intended to host a larger celebration with friends and family.
'The whole time I had envisioned a big wedding,' Ally said, adding: 'We both would've loved our fam there and some friends, but I'm forever grateful and glad that we did it that way because it could not have been more intimate and more incredible.'
Ally wore a gown by Lee Petra Grebenau for the ceremony, which was organised with the help of Kelsey Events, which the couple brought on in August 2024 to organise their nuptials
The ceremony included personal touches such as floral arrangements and a live violin performance of Kari Jobe's 'Holy Spirit' as Ally walked down the aisle.
The couple selected Judah Smith, who they first met more than a decade ago in Guadalajara, Mexico, as their officiant.
'We met him randomly 10 plus years ago in a hotel lobby with the Fifth Harmony girls,' Will said.
Ally added: 'Even before we got even engaged, I dreamed of having him as our pastor to do the ceremony. His words were powerful over us, and it was unforgettable. We were all sobbing.'
The pair exchanged both traditional and personalised vows, which Ally said she spent the night before the ceremony writing.
'I basically stayed up the whole night writing my vows,' she said, adding: 'Then, in the morning, I tweaked a word or two.'
Weeks ahead of the ceremony, Ally and Will informed their families of their plans to elope.
Ally said: 'Everybody was supportive, and they were thrilled for us.
'They were like, 'Look, if you want it to be just you, it should be just you.'' Will added: 'We'll do something soon with them this fall with all the families, but we wanted to do this, and (I'm) so glad we did.'
The couple first met when Will was working as the tour manager for Fifth Harmony.
They are now planning a honeymoon for the summer and have discussed starting a family.
Ally said about the prospect of her and Will having children: 'We both have a timeline, but not immediately.'

Cynthia Nixon bemoans Sex and The City for being 'incredibly white'

Cynthia Nixon disliked how "incredibly white" 'Sex and The City' was. The 59-year-old actress played Miranda Hobbes in the hit HBO series, but Cynthia thinks 'Sex and The City' wasn't reflective of the real world. Speaking to Sky News, the actress explained: "The one thing that didn't really sit well with me in the past was how incredibly white the show was." Cynthia reprised the role of Miranda to star in 'And Just Like That...', the 'Sex and The City' revival show. And Cynthia believes the new series presents a more well-rounded view of the world. She explained: "I think to expand the universe of, you know, who gets to be centred in the show has been a tremendous boon. Whether you're talking about people of colour, whether you're talk about queer people, people of different ages. We used to have a wonderfully fascinating lens, but it was fairly narrow. "We've moved in our view of queer people … for so long, if you wanted to put a gay person on screen, one of the ways to make them palatable was to really emphasise their funniness and I think we have many very funny gay characters, but we're able to, I think, have a more well-rounded view of them." Meanwhile, Cynthia recently revealed that she has an "intense" friendship with her 'And Just Like That...' co-stars. The actress has relished the experience of reuniting with Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker to shoot the revival series. Cynthia - who also starred in two 'Sex and the City' films - told People: "I just think the longevity, I mean the intensity of it, but also the longevity of it, because there's something about knowing and loving a person, but then when you know them for so long, you know their children and their parents and their spouses and their friends." Cynthia has developed a close bond with her co-stars over the years, and she now understands them "in their complete context". Reflecting on her relationship with Sarah and Kristin, she said: "When you understand somebody in their complete context, I feel like that's when you really know them."

Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are 'are having fun with wedding planning'

Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are "excited" to plan their wedding. The loved-up couple got engaged in 2024, and they've recently relished the experience of planning their wedding together. Shaun, 38, told People: "It's very exciting to have new aspirations and new things that we're going after and together. It's very humbling and very exciting, and she's excited. "We've gotten a lot of advice from different people who have planned their own weddings and things. So we're definitely gathering information and now trying to see what's going to work best for us in any way." Shaun has actually had "fun" planning their big day, and their "next chapter" as a couple. The former Olympian shared: "It's like you took that next step and yeah, it's just a fun sort of planning phase of life. "Like, 'What's the next steps, and the next chapter and where do we want to be?' It's fun. It's fun to have somebody to plan all that with." The celebrity duo are currently on the lookout for a wedding planner, to help them with their preparations for their big day. Shaun hopes that the planner can ultimately "bring [their] ideas to life". The retired sports star said: "We're still just looking for a planner to plan the wedding. "I'm not capable of this and luckily, like, I want to be involved, but logistically I'm not, it's not my strong suit. So I think visually I'm getting involved with what I want, but we're still looking for someone to help bring our ideas to life." Nina and Shaun began dating in 2020, and the couple announced their engagement in October 2024. Nina previously revealed to Vogue magazine that they got engaged in New York City in late October. Recalling Shaun's proposal, the 36-year-old actress confessed: "I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him." Shaun - who is a three-time Olympic gold medallist in half-pipe snowboarding - popped the question with a five carat diamond ring. Shaun actually managed to catch his fiancee by surprise. Nina - who previously dated Ian Somerhalder, her former 'Vampire Diaries' co-star - recalled: "He said all the right things."

Cynthia Nixon opens up on 'intense' relationship with her And Just Like That... co-stars

Cynthia Nixon has an "intense" friendship with her 'And Just Like That...' co-stars. The 59-year-old actress has reprised her role as Miranda Hobbes in the 'Sex and the City' spin-off and explained that bond with co-stars Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker is all a result of how long they have all been working together. She told People: "I just think the longevity, I mean the intensity of it, but also the longevity of it, because there's something about knowing and loving a person, but then when you know them for so long, you know their children and their parents and their spouses and their friends. "When you understand somebody in their complete context, I feel like that's when you really know them." Meanwhile, actress - who starred on 'Sex and the City' throuhgout its original run from 1998 until 2004 and has appeared on the spin-off since its inception in 2021 - recently saw her alter-ego have a dalliance with a character played by Rosie O'Donnell, and explained that the writers had been trying to get the famed comedienne on board for years. "Michael Patrick King, who writes our show, and is one of the chief writers on our show, has been trying to write a part for Rosie every season and it's never quite worked out. She said: "So this time when he told me what the idea was, I thought, 'Oh this is fantastic, and he let me text her myself and describe it and say, you know, could we please send you this script?' With all our fingers and toes crossed.' "She is so funny and she is so funny in the part, but she's so centered and so real. "I think that we knew she would be hilarious, but I think we were unprepared for how moving she would be in the part, how incredibly sincere and how much she would wear her heart on her sleeve."
