Inside 'feud' between John Lennon's sons as Sean Ono speaks out
John Lennon and his second wife Yoko Ono are the subject of a new film titled One to One: John and Yoko, that focuses on the couple's controversial relationship in a brief moment in the 1970s.
The couple's son Sean was involved in the project and oversaw audio mastering for the concert footage.
The film has reignited interest in the couple and their family, and has led to speculation about a feud between Lennon's two children.
Sean, 49, has now shared a post to encourage fans to respect the fact that there is no feud and that they have a good relationship.
'Here, we do not accept comparisons and erroneous creations of fights about two people that John Lennon loved the most: his children,' read a post from a Lennon fan account, which Sean reposted to his Instagram Stories.
He also added: 'Peace and much love.'
The text was written on top of an image of Sean and Julian, 62, Lennon's son with his first wife Cynthia Powell, at the 1986 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, when they inducted Elvis Presley.
In the image, Sean would have been around 11, while his half-brother would have been around 23.
The relationship between the brothers has been a point of speculation from Beatles fans online for several months.
Some have highlighted Julian's comments about his step-mother Ono, as evidence of tensions, with claims he had to buy back letters he had written to his father because she refused to give them to him.
In 1996, he sued his father's estate and revealed in 1999 on The Dini Petty Show that he used some of that money to buy some of the other items that once belonged to his father.
However, in the same interview, any negative feelings towards his stepmother were separate from his half-brother. Julian explained he only had warm feelings towards his little brother, who was caught in the middle of a difficult situation.
Other TikTok sleuths speculated that Julian had been abandoned by his father after Lennon wrote the song Beautiful Boy about his younger son Sean and not his elder son.
In December 2024, Julian shared images of him spending one one-on-one time where they sat down for dinner together.
The black and white images showed the pair at The Dakota, a building where his father lived with Yoko and Sean, and was eventually shot in front of.
'A Goodnight kiss for my brother, after spending the evening with him, having a lil dinner & chatting the night away, at The Dakota. Something we rarely get to do… Thankful.'
In 2022, Julian told People that Sean was his 'best mate'.
'We're brothers and we love each other deeply on that level,' he added. 'We just talk daily, same as anybody would.'
In the same interview he revealed that he and his brother bonded over music, food, exercise, and photography, and have supported each other in recent years.
He revealed that he was wary about attending a screening of the Beatles movie, Get Back, but was encouraged to go by his brother. More Trending
'But [brother] Sean was adamant and felt committed, and we were both in L.A.… so I said, 'Listen, I'll go with you. Let's go together, let's go as a team.' And it was great to do that.'
Julian has previously had cancer, and in December 2024 he told fans he underwent surgery after finding two moles, on his shoulder and his forearm, one of which was Melanoma.
He encouraged fans to get themselves checked: 'It only takes a short while to do so, and you may just be saving your own life, at the end of the day… so please, for the sake of yourself, your family and friends just go to your Dr and do what must be done…
'I love life and I want to live for a very long time and this is one way, and a choice, that could determine your future… I wish you all happy holidaze and a healthy long life…'

I moved to Spain 4 years ago & will never be bored of it – I don't work & pick my kids up from school & go to the pool
Jodie revealed how people can also make the move to Spain LIFE'S A BEACH I moved to Spain 4 years ago & will never be bored of it – I don't work & pick my kids up from school & go to the pool Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM has shared how her family ditched the UK to live in Spain four years ago and will 'never be bored' of her new life. Jodie Marlow, who shares clips of her new sunny lifestyle online, shared how she doesn't miss the rainy weather at all, and spends her days enjoying the sun. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 UK mum Jodie Marlow has 17,000 followers who follow her new life in Spain Credit: Tiktok/JodieMarlow 5 Jodie picks her kids up from school at 1.30pm in summer and takes them straight to the pool Credit: Tiktok/JodieMarlow 5 Jodie said she will never get bored of her life in Spain Credit: Getty Jodie, who is a stay-at-home mum, said her two boys finish school at 1.30pm in summer and they spend afternoons playing in the pool. In a clip on her @jodiemar1ow account, which has over 1,790 likes, she said: 'Four years in & don't think I'll ever get bored of this.' She added that the weather is perfect for her, with temperatures in the top 20s or 30s every day. Jodie said: 'It's not too hot, not too cold. Like, I can wear my nice summer dresses, which I love.' When her kids are at school, she spends her time picking up fruit and veg at the local market, or going for a pamper, including laser hair surgery. She then does housework before picking up the boys and having some lunch with them. Meanwhile, weekends are spent exploring gorgeous nearby beaches and dining out in local restaurants. MOVING TO SPAIN Finally, Jodie advised people on how they can also make the move to Spain. She shared: 'If you hold a UK British passport, you can't just move to Spain like you could pre-Brexit, you do need a visa. 'The working visa you could look into getting dependent on if you've got a specialised job. I quit my job and did a complete 180 moving to Spain - beer is just $3 a pint and my life is so much better 'The self-employed visa, basically they said to us it's just impossible to get, so we didn't even try with that. 'But the digital nomad visa allows anyone that is working online, as long as you are earning a set amount of money that provides for if there's four of you for the family, you can pay for all four of you, and they set out exactly how much that would be.' Since Brexit, UK citizens, and non-EU citizens require a visa to stay longer than 90 days. 5 Jodie said the weather is usually perfect for her Credit: Getty SOCIAL REACTION Many people were quick to chime in and comment on her new life in Spain, and praise her for making the move. One said: 'It's beautiful there, my sister moved there 26 yrs ago, no regrets.' A second added: 'I don't think you could ever get bored of that lifestyle.' Meanwhile, and a third joked: 'You sure you wouldn't rather be stuck indoors looking out at the rain?' Jodie replied: 'deffo don't miss that side of the uk.' 5 Jodie advised getting a digital nomad visa if you want to make the move Credit: Alamy

THE DJ famously had a major crush on a telly star DAMN ODOOM Melvin Odoom has secretly found love – and it's thanks to an I'm A Celeb mate Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) I'M A Celebrity's Melvin Odoom has secretly found love - and it's all thanks to his former campmate. Sparks flew between Radio One DJ Melvin, 45, and his 31-year-old girlfriend Hannah Holland after being introduced through social media influencer GK Barry. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Melvin competed on the hit TV show last year Credit: Rex 5 He met his now-girlfriend, Hannah Holland, after the series came to a close Credit: Instagram/hannahroseholland The couple grew close after filming wrapped on the 2024 series in Australia, where Hannah had flown out for work. An insider told The Sun: 'Melvin and Hannah really hit it off and are incredibly happy together. 'They're both keen to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but their chemistry is undeniable. 'It's now an open secret in the industry - everyone's thrilled for Melvin.' Redhead Hannah spent time Down Under in her role as CEO of HLD - a London-based Entertainment Agency - which represents GK Barry. She signed the star, real name Grace Keeling, who'd gone viral with her relatable and funny TikTok videos during the Covid lockdown. Hannah's paths crossed with Melvin while the pair watched from the family and friends area outside camp after Melvin was fourth to be voted out of the jungle. Presenter Melvin, who openly discussed his single status on the ITV show, had hopes of winning the heart of his cougar crush Carol Vorderman, 64, after leaving the show. He brought a cushion with a picture of her face printed on it as his luxury item on the show. The 45-year-old even role-played a date with her alongside his campmates - calling her his 'dream woman'. Former Countdown host Carol sent a voice note into the jungle spin-off show, Unpacked, telling him: 'See you on the other side.' I'm A Celeb's Melvin Odoom reveals Carol Vorderman has GHOSTED him She ghosted Melvin after sending her his number on social media. Melvin - who co-hosts the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge with Rickie Haywood-Williams and Charlie Hedges - admitted finding dating 'hard' before meeting Hannah. Speaking about looking for a future partner - he described wanting someone 'adventurous, motivated and passionate'. Meanwhile Hannah was focused on work before locking eyes with her now-partner - having secured the first TikTok star in I'm A Celeb history, a place in the jungle. She told followers at the time: 'Myself and Grace put this on our strategy 3 years ago and we bloody have done it! 'I'm so proud of you Grace, I can't wait for you to show the world how kind, funny and quick you are. Enjoy the big kangaroo balls.' GK Barry is said to be "thrilled" for the couple, who attended her 26th birthday party earlier this month. The Saving Grace podcaster and guests dressed as 'grandmas' as they enjoyed a knees-up at The Prince pub in London. Looking almost unrecognisable, Hannah transformed into 'momager' Kris Jenner for the intimate event - while Melvin snubbed the theme and stayed casual in a white top and shorts. Our insider added: "Melvin and Hannah are head over heels, it's the real deal." I'm A Celebrity was watched by eight million people last series, which was won by McFly star Danny Jones. 5 Melvin was introduced to Hannah by GK Barry, who Melvin enjoyed a fun-filled pub trip with dressed up as grandmas Credit: Instagram / gkbarry_ 5 Melvin previously revealed he had a crush on Carol Vorderman Credit: instagram/@melvinodoom

Millie Bobby Brown announces adoption of baby girl with husband Jake Bongiovi
The famous couple announced that they have adopted a child together in an announcement on Thursday. Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi have announced that they have adopted a baby together. The couple shared in a message on social media tonight, August 21, that they adopted a "sweet baby girl" earlier this year. The 21-year-old is best known for her role as Eleven on Stranger Things, and she released a statement tonight with her model husband Jake, 23, saying they are "beyond excited" for this next chapter of their lives. They teased in their joint post that they are now a family of three. Alongside a sketch of a tree, they wrote: "This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy." The post, which was accompanied by the Beatles' Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, continued by reading: "And then there were 3." It was then signed off by Millie and her husband Jake, who shared his surname at the end of the message to fans. Millie and Jake shared the statement on their respective Instagram accounts earlier this evening. The joint post had already amassed more than 250,000 likes on the platform within 30 minutes of it being uploaded by the couple. The news comes after Millie and Jake, who is the son of Jon Bon Jovi, got married last year following their engagement in 2023. They confirmed that they had married in separate posts on the platform in October following speculation, reported The Mirror. Alongside photos from their wedding, Jake wrote in a post at the time: "Forever and always, your husband." Whilst Millie wrote, beside a series of photos from the nuptials, in the caption of her post: "Forever and always, your wife." Millie previously spoke about wanting to become a parent whilst on the SmartLess podcast in an episode released in March. She said that she wants a "big family" with her husband and mentioned the possibility of adopting. She said: "Jake knows how important it is to me [to have a child]." Millie went on to discuss balancing that ambition with her career, but explained that it's a "huge thing" for her to start a family. Millie said on the podcast: "Of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it's so important to start a family, for me, personally." Millie then commented: "Like, it's a huge thing." She added: "Jake was like 'We cannot do that until we get married.' So that was his thing and my thing was I really want a family. I really want a big family. Like, I'm one of four. He's one of four. So it is definitely in our future." Millie went on to mention the prospect of adopting. She said whilst a guest on the podcast earlier this year: "But, for me, like I don't see having your own child as really any different as adopting." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
