Brooklyn Beckham gives insight into secret vow renewal with Nicola Peltz
Brooklyn Beckham has shared details of his 'really cute, really fun' vow renewal with wife Nicola Peltz. 26-year-old Brooklyn and actress Nicola, 30, first tied the knot in 2022 during a lavish ceremony attended by his parents, Victoria and David Beckham. Family relations have apparently become more strained since then, with rumours of an ongoing feud between the couple and his family – including his brothers, Cruz and Romeo. No matter the drama, Brooklyn and Nicola found time to 'celebrate their love' with an intimate vow renewal this month. Confirming the news, a source told Metro: 'This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.' Following the discreet ceremony, Brooklyn has given an insight into the big day. Speaking to People, Brooklyn said: 'It was beautiful. We just wanted a really beautiful experience – a really cute memory. 'To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they're going to spend the rest of their life with. 'It definitely shapes you as a person. It was really, really cute. It was really fun.' This comes amid growing speculation that Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his family over recent months. Brooklyn's family have yet to address this latest milestone in Brooklyn's life, with tensions growing after he was absent from David's 50th birthday bash this year. The photographer and former model also failed to acknowledge his football legend father's knighthood in June. Brooklyn proposed to Nicola in 2020, after only eight months together. Two years later, and they were married at Nicola's family estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Since getting married, Brooklyn adopted her name into his own, becoming publicly recognised as Brooklyn Peltz Beckham. Rumours of a rift between the families began soon after, amid reports of tension between Nicola and former Spice Girl Victoria, 51. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Brooklyn no longer follows brothers Cruz, 20, and Romeo on social media – while they too have unfollowed his wife. According to an insider for The Sun: 'Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers. More Trending 'He and Nicola certainly didn't unfollow them or block them – they're as confused as anyone else. The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on,' the publication's source reported. However, his father did appear to extend an 'olive branch' this weekend, as Brooklyn took to Instagram to share his spaghetti carbonara recipe. His controversial take on the Italian classic was slammed by many – including celebrity chef Aldo Zilli, who accused him of 'jumping on the cooking bandwagon.' In what some have taken as a show of public support, David quietly liked his son's post. The first sign of a peace offering between the warring Beckhams, perhaps? Got a story?

Kelly Clarkson has decided to focus on her children following the shock death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who passed away earlier this week following a cancer battle Kelly Clarkson has made a huge career decision following the death of her ex-husband. The singer, 43, who has enjoyed major success with her eponymous talk show over the last six years but had a host of guest presenters like Brooke Shields and Andy Cohen step in for her towards the end of the most recent season, is understood to be "devastated" following Brandon' Blackstocks's death to skin cancer at the age of 48 although they've been divorced for two years. And now insiders have claimed that Kelly, who has River Rose, 11, and nine-year-old Remy with Brandon, is taking time out of her career so she can focus on spending time with her children. A source told UsWeekly: "It has been draining, exhausting, emotional [and] devastating A big part of it was making her schedule available for transporting the children to visit Brandon, and all of the emotions that came with this difficult time. Kelly is a workhorse. "Hard work is all she knows. She hates disappointing people, truly. The thing that kept her going was knowing how many people depend on her, like her crews and employees. Her kids come first, and she will find a way." It comes after Sharon Osbourne breaks down in tears at Ozzy's funeral in heartbreaking scenes. Brandon Blackstock's daughter revealed pregnancy a month before dad died The insider noted that Kelly, who shot to fame as the inaugural winner of American Idol more than 20 years ago, 'loves' her career but noted that 'nothing compares to a situation' like the one she has been presented with now. According to the insider, Kelly will make a comeback to her NBC television show at some point in the fall. A representative for the family told PEOPLE in a statement that Brandon had been diagnosed with cancer over three years ago. They said in a statement: "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away."Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time." Just one day after Brandon's passing was announced, sources close to the star explained that it had been for the benefit of her children that Kelly, known for her songs Since U Been Gone and Behind These Hazel Eyes, had always been protective and watchful of Brandon in his final years. One insider told People: "When she found out that he was sick, she remained protective of him for their sake. Kelly has always tried to keep things classy. It became clear earlier this year that Brandon was not doing well. She's been devastated for the kids." Earlier this week, Kelly postponed her Las Vegas residency after announcing that Brandon had been taken ill. Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them. I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding." Brandon, whose stepmother was country legend Reba McEntire, also had two children from a previous marriage. In 2022, he became a grandfather after his eldest daughter gave birth to a son. Brandon's father Narvel was Kelly's previous manager, with the former couple first meeting at a rehearsal for the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2006. After divorcing his first wife, Brandon reconnected with Kelly at the Super Bowl before the pair married in October 2013. The talent manager, who managed Blake Shelton, took on Kelly as a client after their wedding, with Kelly telling Marie Claire in 2018: "I wouldn't have hired Brandon to be my manager if I didn't see first-hand how great he is at that and how much he cares about Blake. "And the way that [Blake's] career has blown up, I would have hired Brandon regardless. He's really talented at what he does and his mind really does work in a completely different way.

And Just Like That return hopes dashed by key plot as disappointed fans fume
Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That is ending after three seasons with fans left disappointed at the direction the show was taken in after return to screens Sex and the City spin off And Just Like That is ending after three seasons with the finale due to air next week. The last ever episode will see Sarah Jessica Parker finally say farewell to Carrie Bradshaw for good following a shock announcement from showrunner Michael Patrick King. Fans were left surprised by the announcement despite the show regularly facing a backlash from viewers who slammed it as "the worst show on television." Audiences were left divided over the reboot which launched in 2021 due to the storylines that saw huge changes for the beloved SATC characters, including Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) who cheated on her husband Steve Brady with non-binary comic Che Diaz, and Carrie calling the iconic love of her life Mr. Big a "mistake" as she rekindled her past romance with Aidan Shaw. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. Kim Cattrall's absence as fan-favourite character Samantha Jones also left a bad taste in viewers mouths, as Kim stayed away from the project due to a decade long rift with her former castmates. The areas in which the show was lacking left the production unable to continue according to sources. One insider told the Daily Mail: "HBO was happy to ride with the show for a few more years. Everyone was indebted to Sarah [Jessica Parker] and wanted the story she wanted to be told to go to completion. Decision makers felt like they owed it to Sarah and the rest of the cast and crew." TV tracker Samba TV reported that just 429,000 households streamed the season three premiere of AJLT in the four days following its debut – which was a seven percent decline from the season two premiere. The series premiere four years ago saw 1.1 million households tune in. However, the show suffered due to its "woke" storylines according to another insider. The source said: "Sex and the City is about women talking about dating men, their penis sizes and what the sex was like. Of course, they're getting older, but it's not like you don't still have sex with men and talk about their penises. People weren't connecting with the show." People struggled to get get on board with Miranda's new found romance with Che, who described themselves as a "queer non-binary Mexican Irish diva." The character was branded the "worst" on the series, with some viewers suggesting they were "[setting] back non-binary representation 70 years." When her romance with Che ended after Sara Ramirez was axed from the show Cynthia continued to pursue sexual encounters with other females as a single woman. The insider added: "Cynthia's plot continued to destroy the show. It sucked. Let's be honest, most people didn't watch after that first episode." Since the shock announcement of the show ending Parker paid tribute to Carrie in a lengthy Instagram post which highlighted some of her favorite memories of Carrie. She shared: "Crossed streets, avenues, rubicons, so it seemed. She broke hearts, heels, habits. She loved, lost, won, tripped, leaped. Fell short and into puddles. Aged. Got wiser. She has made the hardest worst and best decisions. "Traveled near and far. For the new. The vintage. Friends and love. Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City. She had dates, drinks, boyfriends. A husband and truly great loves and romances. She hailed cabs. She ran in heels. And danced with Stanford. She told the truth and she lied. "She typed. Wondered. Wrote. Published. Grieved. Forgave. Got stood up. Stood strong. Stood out. She devoted herself to hats, books, shoes, friends and the promise of a new day in her beloved city and the people she treasured most. She has worn shame, pride, honor, optimism and literally countless dresses, skirts, tutus. "Held onto hands, hopes and the very best of people. Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends and what great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema and LTW, most divine new connections. "Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all. "MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us." She concluded: "I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget the whole thing. Thank you all. I love you so. I hope you love these final two episodes as much as we all do. Rabbit rabbit. Xxx, SJ."
