Love Islander Anna Vakili reveals married Arsenal player slid into her DMs
Former Love Island star Anna Vakili recently revealed that a married Arsenal player slid into her DMs, which left her confused given his family situation.
The 33-year-old reality TV star made this claim during a YouTube challenge called "Spill or Chill," where celebrities are asked to share some of the weirdest messages they've received from famous people.
Anna explained that the Arsenal player reached out to her despite having a public Instagram profile showcasing his marriage and children. She expressed surprise, saying, "He has it all over his Instagram as well, so I don't know what he was thinking."
In addition to this revelation, Anna discussed another memorable message from Lee Ryan, a member of the boy band Blue. She admitted that receiving a message from Ryan was especially surreal because he had been her biggest crush growing up. "I would have his pictures all over the walls of my bedroom. I'd write him letters when I was young," she shared. However, despite the excitement, Anna didn't respond to his message, and they have yet to meet in person.
The conversation also touched on the nature of celebrity relationships. Anna candidly stated that she believes some celebrity couples stay together for business reasons rather than love. She also confirmed that sex does take place in the Love Island villa, though she admitted she didn't participate herself, fearing her mother's disapproval.
Fans of the current Love Island season have speculated about similar behavior involving Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, especially after a recent Heart Rate Challenge sparked rumors about their relationship.

Asim and Merub end engagement with grace
Singer Asim Azhar and actor Merub Ali have officially ended their engagement, the couple confirmed via Instagram on Thursday. In a heartfelt joint statement posted to his Instagram Stories, the Radd singer wrote: "We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to share something personal, as we believe we owe that to those who have supported us — fans, friends, and well-wishers." "After a great deal of thought and reflection," he continued, "Merub and I have chosen to move forward on separate paths peacefully and mutually. While we shared meaningful moments and genuinely hoped for a future together, life sometimes takes its own course." Asim, who got engaged to the Sinfe Aahan actor in 2021, emphasised that the separation was amicable. "We have the utmost respect for each other and the families involved, and always will," he wrote, requesting fans and media for privacy during this period. The announcement concluded with a note of gratitude: "Thank you for your continued support." The pair had long kept their relationship largely private, occasionally sharing glimpses of their bond on social media. Even before they confirmed their relationship status in 2021, the duo had been fuelling the rumour mill for quite some time. Shortly before the engagement announcement, Asim took to X to clarify that he had never labelled Merub as his "sister", as was allegedly being claimed by some based on a doctored screenshot. He wrote, "To all reposting a screenshot of a 'news channel' that said I had labelled Merub as my sister [because] of a fake chat a fan had made, I clarified it a year ago." The singer continued, "Reminder, since this is a beautiful moment of my life that I want to cherish. Doosre ki khushi mai khush hona chahiye [You should be happy for others]." He went on to add in a separate post, "Clarification was important because the narrative was disgusting. Anyways, baaki sab ko mithaai jald hi ghar pohanch jayegi [the mithai will reach everyone else's homes soon]. I love you guys. Thank you for the love and duas." Merub also took to her Instagram story to request people to steer clear of spreading rumours for the sake of gossip. She wrote, "Please refrain from spreading false info, fake dates and especially refrain from bringing other humans down to celebrate us," in a possible nod to fans bullying actor Hania Aamir, whom Asim previously dated.

Stop telling people they are old and ugly, says Samina
Samina Peerzada and Sonya Hussaiyn may have just been warring on film as onscreen mother – and daughter-in-law in Deemak, but it will surprise no one to learn that in real life, both stars are united when it comes to denouncing the one issue that encompasses all women: body-shaming. "We should not body-shame anyone," stated Samina categorically during a recent appearance on a local talk show. "No one should say anything about anyone's looks. This is wrong. I don't like this at all. And it has become far too prevalent on social media." As a screen veteran, Samina, musing over a youth-obsessed society, added that she takes personal offence when unsolicited and baseless comments on age enter the equation. "I especially dislike it when someone is a senior and they are told to just step back from it all," continued the Zindagi Gulzar Hai actor. "For a start, in acting, there is no such thing as 'senior' or 'junior' – you are given a character, and you just play it, whatever your age. No one has the right to tell you to stay home and imply you should give up just because you are older." Adding her thoughts, Sonia chimed in with her own defence against unwanted aspersions. "I think people have a habit of commenting on everything – not just on your body," pointed out the Saraab star. "It is up to you how to take something positively or not. People will talk, and you need to know what to discard." Advising those who criticise age or looks, Samina urged fans to focus on merit and a happy demeanour, rather than lost youth and outward beauty. "Instead of all this, you should count people's achievements and how hard they have worked to get to where they are," she insisted. Hinting at double standards where the very act of taking pride in one's appearance is open to mockery the older one gets, Samina cited the example of fellow screen veteran Bushra Ansari – known amongst her fans and YouTube followers for facing negativity with a relentless positive energy. "If someone looks after themselves and takes pride in how they look and are full of life, like Bushra – well, I admire her!" stressed Samina with warmth. "I love her energy! She does so many amazing things with such confidence, without any hesitation!" With Samina's strictures on letting confidence go hand-in-hand with age, coupled with Sonya's advice on discarding unwanted comments, combating body-shaming may just become a little easier.

Trace Cyrus claims Brenda Song lied about being terminally ill and took his money
Singer Trace Cyrus has publicly accused his ex-girlfriend, actress Brenda Song, of a series of shocking allegations: lying about being terminally ill, stealing thousands of dollars from him, and faking multiple pregnancies. The claims surfaced on Cyrus's Instagram, where he posted, 'yes because she stole thousand of dollars from me and faked multiple pregnancies, & lied about being terminally'. His statement reconfirms rumors circulating online today and reignites past controversies. These are not new claims. Back in 2015, Song addressed similar rumors via Instagram. She clarified that pregnancy and miscarriage speculation 'were just lies and fabrications,' extending an apology for not addressing them sooner . At the time, Cyrus responded directly, stating that Song had personally spread the false information to friends and family . Biographical sources indicate the couple shared a long-term, on-again, off-again relationship before splitting roughly seven years ago . Tensions appeared to peak when pregnancy rumors emerged. Some sources claimed Song had considered abortion due to family pressure, though no confirmed evidence supports these claims . This latest Instagram post comes years after their breakup but amplifies old accusations. Social media users have shown mixed reactions: some accuse Cyrus of a misogynistic smear campaign, while others recall that Song once apologized for the rumors . At present, Song has not responded to the renewed allegations. As this story unfolds, fans will be watching for any official statements from Song, Cyrus, or their representatives—and whether new evidence supports or contradicts the resurfaced claims.
