Robin Thicke, 48, marries model fiancée, 30, after seven-year engagement

Metro31-05-2025
Robin Thicke and April Geary have tied the knot after a seven-year engagement.
The 48-year-old singer first popped the question to the model, 30, in 2018, before getting down on one knee again just days before their nuptials.
Blurred Lines hitmaker Thicke shares three children with Geary: Mia Love, five, Lola Alain, four, and Luca Patrick, two.
Their ceremony was every inch as lavish as you'd expect, as the lovebirds said 'I do' in a romantic celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Geary shared some videos on Instagram, showing herself in a long white lace gown with a veil for the occasion, while Thicke wore a classic tuxedo.
A guest also posted a video showing Thicke walking down the aisle to Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, with youngest Luca sweetly serving as 'ring security'.

The newlyweds also made sure to include a tribute to Thicke's late father, who died in 2016 at the age of 69.
A seat on the front row was left empty for Alan Thicke, as Geary's video showed the chair with 'In Loving Memory Of Alan Thicke' printed on the back of it.
The game show host and comedian collapsed while playing ice hockey with his son, Carter, where he was wheeled out on a stretcher and pronounced dead later that day, the cause cited as type-A aortic dissection.
Thicke was close with his father, writing on Instagram earlier this year for his birthday that he 'misses [him] every day'.
His wedding to Geary comes shortly after he asked for her hand in marriage again while in Cannes.
She posted on Instagram: 'Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new ring that one of my best friends @nikkiwhatnikkiwho @establishedjewelry made. I'm so obsessed with it, thank you!!!'
'This trip was such a dream. I love you so much @robinthicke Also a huge thank you to @alilasky for clearing out the whole area and making sure there wasn't a single person getting in the way', her caption continued.
The pair first began dating in 2014, several months after the pop star separated from his wife of 10 years, Paula Patton, with whom he shares son Julian Fuego, 14.
At the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, they made their first public appearance together, two months after Thicke and Patton's marriage was officially dissolved.
Speaking about his new relationship, Thicke revealed in 2021 that they were going to therapy, having found it useful to get an outsider's perspective on matters.
He said during an interview with the Black Girls Texting podcast: 'Therapy is not for everybody all the time, but it definitely opens barriers for us, even just to go once or twice.
'If you're struggling in your relationship, one visit, one conversation with a third party can change things.'
He added: 'Couples therapy has been great for me and April, and it's been great for me and Paula in co-parenting. More Trending
'We've had a few sessions and it's really helped for us, so I am a total believer in therapy.'
Then, in 2024, Thicke spoke to People about their wedding plans, saying getting hitched was a 'priority'.
'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together,' he added.
'She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.'

Scottish Love is Blind UK star sends urgent message to fans as season 2 drops on Netflix

Katisha has shared an important message to Love Is Blind UK fans A Love is Blind UK contestant has made an urgent appeal to viewers as the highly anticipated second season returns to screens. ‌ The fresh season of Love Is Blind UK launches on Netflix today, Wednesday, August 13 following last year's triumph. A completely new batch of singletons are entering the experiment hoping to discover their ideal partner. ‌ However, there's a catch - isolated in individual pods, participants must forge emotional bonds without any face-to-face contact. Only after getting engaged and committing to progress their romance will they finally meet before moving in together and planning their wedding, reports the Mirror. ‌ As the programme broadcasts, one participant has made an urgent appeal asking viewers to be "mindful". Scottish contestant Katisha is the oldest of seven siblings and has remained single for over six years. Describing herself as "eternally unlucky in love", the 31 year old is determined to find romance with someone prepared to commit. Katisha has plenty of affection to offer and seeks a husband rather than just a boyfriend. Posting on her Instagram profile this week, Katisha revealed her time on the show has been "surreal". She posted: "2 DAYS TO GO UNTIL WE GO LIVE!!! Woke up this morning feeling SO excited but also a little nervous. "When I applied for @loveisblindnetflix never in a million years did I think I would be chosen to take part in the experiment! I'm a huge fan of the show and it's nuts that I've been lucky enough to visit the pods and be one of 30 singles given the opportunity to find love in an unorthodox way!!" ‌ Making an urgent appeal to viewers, she continued: "It's so surreal seeing it out there now when I've been sat on it for months. A quick PSA: ‌ "As you watch the show please be mindful as, as much as this is entertaining and it is a TV show this is still very much our lives!! It takes big balls to do something like this and I take my hats off to myself and all my cast mates for even just showing up. "I tried to keep true to myself and keep my mind and heart open throughout - as you've seen there's definitely been some vulnerability from me too. Kinda nervous for you to see this side of me actually. "Eeek! Can't wait to unpack it with you all! ! Are you ready to find out if love truly is blind???"

Animation smashes Netflix record in days becoming second most-watched film

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Netflix may be home to countless blockbusters, but a new contender is quickly climbing to the top of the all-time leaderboard. This animated film has captured the imaginations of viewers across the world and is currently sitting at 184.6 million views. That puts it just behind Red Notice – and if it's momentum holds, it could dethrone it in just a matter of weeks. The 2021 action-comedy, featuring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, seemed untouchable – until now. Since premiering on June 20, KPop Demon Hunters has pulled in over 20 million views per week. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. In the most recent weekly rankings from August 4–10, it picked up another 25.9 million views. It ranked just behind My Oxford Year, but beat out anticipated titles like Happy Gilmore 2, Gladiator II, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. The film blends KPop, Korean folklore, and fantasy action into a neon-lit, high-energy spectacle that's unlike anything else on Netflix. It follows fictional pop group HUNTR/X – global idols by day, demon slayers by night – as they face off against the Saja Boys, a rival boy band hiding a dark secret. Rotten Tomatoes critics have given the film a glowing 97% score, with many praising it for its originality, emotional depth, and sheer entertainment value. Voice talent includes Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, Ji-young Yoo, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, Lee Byung-hun, and many more familiar names. The animation style is bold and vibrant, the soundtrack is contagious, and the choreography has already gone viral on TikTok. The song Golden from the movie even topped the Billboard Global 200, marking a major moment for an animated act. It's managed to cross genres, languages, and age groups – drawing in KPop stans, animation lovers, and curious Netflix browsers alike. Week after week, its viewership has held strong, making it the only movie in Netflix history to maintain such numbers so consistently over eight straight weeks. That consistency is what makes this climb so significant – and so threatening to Red Notice's long-standing record. KPop Demon Hunters now needs around 46 million more views to claim the title of Netflix's most-watched movie ever. Netflix hasn't confirmed plans for a sequel just yet, but fans are already demanding one – plus merch, a series, and possibly even a live-action spin-off. Fans have praised the new animation for creating a new generation of K-pop fans – whilst also bringing back older generations. @wisewyss on X said: 'The more the merrier, new KPop fans will come of this.' 'My love for KPop was revived thanks to this movie,' @ravenPH added. The film has also reignited conversation around what animated movies can be – especially when paired with global music trends like K-pop. And if there was ever doubt about the worldwide power of Korean storytelling, this movie silenced it. While most of Netflix's top movies come from Hollywood studios with action-heavy formulas, KPop Demon Hunters proves that creativity and cultural flair can be just as powerful. More Trending It's a massive win for Korean creators, for animated storytelling, and for viewers looking for something fresh. With just a few weeks to go before it potentially claims the number one spot, all eyes are on HUNTR/X. They came to slay demons, now they might slay the Netflix record books too. KPop Demon Hunters is available to stream on Netflix now. Got a story?

Jessie J says her ‘hair has been falling out like crazy' after cancer surgery

In a recent Instagram post, the Price Tag singer said: 'My hair has been falling out like crazy since the surgery. 'Five weeks today, since my surgery, and I'm feeling ok… my boobs still aren't even, this is the implant still so sore, and then this is my old, oh, you're not old.' She continued: 'Now I'm just trying to figure out what the next kind of six months is going to look like. 'I know that it has to change, and I can't do anything that I was supposed to be doing, but I just want to be able to like, make it work best I can for everybody, me, Sky (her daughter), my fans, but in the right order. 'It's so hard, like you're always going to leave some people disappointed, my perspective on everything has changed so much.' The London-born star also revealed she had a new song 'coming out soon' but said she would 'not be able to do as much promo for it' due to her recovery following the operation, adding that she 'can't have it sitting in my phone for another year'. It comes after she said her latest visit to hospital was a 'reminder to myself to slow down' even though she felt she was already at a slow pace. In an earlier Instagram post, Cornish said: 'This isn't a speedy recovery and it isn't meant to be. 'As an ADHD Aries, fire breathing dragon t-rex, I can do it myself, I'm always ok woman. That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept to be honest. 'I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is, and I am finding the strength knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner support circle.' Cornish welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in 2023, having had a miscarriage in November 2021. She has battled with ill-health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020. The singer-songwriter has had three number one songs in the UK singles chart with Domino, Price Tag and Bang Bang. She was awarded four Mobo awards in 2011 including best UK act, best newcomer, best song for Do It Like A Dude and best album with Who You Are, and won the Brit Award for rising star in 2011.
