Why Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Actually Split
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are over after eight (on-and-off) years, and there's more information coming about about the why of it all. By which I mean sources are out here telling Page Six that Dakota "was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding."
Another insider added that "They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids," which falls in line with what an anon person told The Sun. Ahem:
"They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it... They made some beautiful memories as a family and it'll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship but they will do it."
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail spoke to someone who claims Dakota and Chris' relationship has actually "been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official."
"Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much," they explained. "Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore. Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them."
Neither Dakota nor Chris have commented on their split, but they do seem to be amicable based on Chris shouting out his ex's new movie The Materialists.

Nicola Peltz And Brooklyn Beckham Reportedly Hire Prince Harry And Meghan's Lawyer Amid Family Rift
Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have reportedly hired the same lawyer used by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to help them with their "reputation management." This comes amid reports that the young couple bonded with the Sussexes over similar experiences with their in-laws. Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have particularly been in the news lately as their relationship with David and Victoria Beckham has become more strained. According to the Daily Mail, Nicola and Brooklyn are growing concerned about the various reports about them on the internet and are trying to protect their reputation. This has seemingly led the duo to hire British solicitor, Jenny Afia, who works for Schillings law firm. The Duchess of Sussex is said to have also given a referral after Brooklyn and Nicola met the US-based royal and her husband at a party in Montecito, California, in early May. Sources now claim that the lawyer's appointment has prompted "much amusement," as David and Victoria Beckham are allegedly not on good terms with Harry and Meghan. Another source elaborated more on the latest development, noting that Nicola and Brooklyn took the "drastic" decision due to recent headlines about them. "You couldn't really make it up, first Brooklyn and Nicola cosy up together and realise they have quite a lot in common, and then all of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer," the source told the Daily Mail. They continued, "Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything, and they have taken this rather drastic action." "For the Beckhams, the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that," the source added. "The two couples are very close indeed." Three weeks ago, the Sussexes had an intimate dinner party with Brooklyn and Nicola in Montecito, hosted by Brian Robbins, chief executive at Paramount Pictures. While the event raised eyebrows due to the ongoing tensions within the Beckham family, it was confirmed that the plans were made before the public fallout between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria. During the dinner party, Meghan reportedly felt a strong sense of empathy toward Nicola, as both women have experienced similar challenges navigating strained family dynamics under the spotlight. A source told The Sun that during the dinner, Meghan and Peltz shared a heartfelt conversation, bonding over how they've "been positioned in the media as home-wreckers — the women to tear apart their husbands' families." "Meghan had a lot of sympathy for her, and said there was shared common ground," the insider revealed. "They didn't meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence." David and Victoria once shared a close friendship with Harry and Meghan, even attending the couple's royal wedding in 2018. They reportedly went so far as to offer Harry and Meghan use of their Beverly Hills home as a private retreat not long after the royal wedding. However, the relationship between the two couples has since cooled. According to reports, tension arose when Meghan allegedly suspected Victoria of leaking personal information to the media, a claim that created significant friction. A source told The Sun that Meghan voiced her concerns to Harry, suggesting Victoria was the source of a leak. The source noted that Harry reached out to David in an attempt to clear the air, stating: "Harry is very protective of Meghan, and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David. Harry was very polite, but obviously, it was a pretty awkward exchange, and David was mortified." Recently, a video of Brooklyn and Nicola riding a motorbike sparked concerns. A source told the Daily Mail that Brooklyn's appearance in the video was alarming as he is privately known to detest being filmed, and would only do it if he had to. In the video, he was seen riding a motorbike with Nicola, seemingly showing he's siding with her in the bitter feud with his family and would do anything for her. "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby," Brooklyn wrote in the caption of the clip. This has now raised suspicion among his loved ones as his parents fear he is under Nicola's control. "Brooklyn is now being referred to as 'the hostage.' He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola, and it is heartbreaking," an insider close to the situation told the news outlet. "Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside," they continued. "He's soppy and he's a romantic, but that video just isn't him. He hates all of that stuff, so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it."

Brooklyn Beckham Intensifies Family Feud With Strict Warning
The drama within the Beckhams' household continues, with Brooklyn Beckham allegedly choosing his in-laws over his family. The oldest of Victoria and David Beckham's four children has been making waves for a strained relationship with his parents and siblings over his marriage to Nicola Peltz. From skipping out on his father's 50th birthday to other non-appearances at significant family events, Brooklyn Beckham has repeatedly raised eyebrows for seemingly pushing the Beckhams away. However, other sources blame the tension on his parents, especially Victoria Beckham. According to new reports, Brooklyn drew the line with his parents and siblings by warning them to stay away from him and his wife. A source alleged that he wanted zero communication with them, saying: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact, and he's not responding to those that try to connect." The media personality's decision to stay clear of his family follows reports of his blossoming relationship with his in-laws. Page Six noted that other sources claimed Brooklyn had grown closer to his wife's parents, billionaire Nelson Peltz and his wife Claudia. Their bond allegedly deepened thanks to the rift with his parents, including the drama linked to his 2022 wedding. The outlet's source, who alleged Brooklyn demanded his parents and siblings stop contacting him, claimed David and Victoria respected his wishes by not telling him about the patriarch's knighthood. However, another insider shared a different narrative. The source explained that Brooklyn and his wife found out about David's big honor "through the media." They implied the couple would have wanted to hear the news directly from the football icon, saying: "Brooklyn is so happy for his dad as he knows it was something important to him, but there was no communication, and no one from the family reached out." More sources blamed the lack of communication between Brooklyn and his parents on him, claiming he was at fault for not contacting his family. Others echoed similar sentiments, noting the media personality and his wife allegedly skipped David's 50th birthday bash intentionally. Previous reports noted the couple skipped the event over Brooklyn's "situationship" with his younger brother Romeo's then-girlfriend Kim Turnbull. However, sources claimed he and his wife excused themselves by alleging they had to be in NYC to prepare Peltz's outfit for the Met Gala. Despite their claims of needing to attend a dress fitting ahead of the event, it was eventually revealed that they were not invited to the annual Gala. Another reason for the tense relationship between the couple and the Beckhams reportedly stemmed from their bond with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Last month, The Blast shared that the reported tension between the Beckham-Peltz couple and the Beckhams had seemingly influenced their decision to protect their image. They hired British solicitor Jenny Afia, the same lawyer the Sussexes used for their "reputation management." Meghan, per reports, referred the lawyer to the Beckham-Peltz couple after bonding with the actress over their image as "the women to tear apart their husbands' families." The Duchess of Sussex and Peltz grew closer during an intimate dinner party in Montecito hosted by Brian Robbins, chief executive at Paramount Pictures. A source claimed the bond between the Sussexes and the Beckham-Peltz couple did not sit right with Victoria and David, who were once pals with Meghan and Harry. The Beckhams fell out with the royal pair after they were accused of leaking stories, allegations that reportedly left them "furious." The root of the problems between the Beckham-Peltz couple and the Beckhams reportedly started in 2022. The Blast covered the story, reporting that sources blamed Victoria for inciting the bad blood by intentionally ruining her daughter-in-law's wedding ceremony. They accused her of stealing Peltz's first dance with Brooklyn, noting Marc Anthony had promised to perform a song at the event as his gift to the couple. The night started fine, with the groom taking the stage at the singer's request, but he called Victoria to join him instead of Peltz. "It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop…It wasn't appropriate," a source recalled. They claimed the incident broke Peltz's heart, and she ran out of the room crying, completely devasted by Victoria's betrayal. Will Brooklyn Beckham and his wife ever reconcile with Victoria and David Beckham?

Brad Pitt admits to mistakes after Angelina Jolie divorce is finalized: ‘Learn from it and move on'
Brad Pitt admitted to he's made mistakes in his life after he and Angelina Jolie finalized their drawn-out divorce. The 'Fight Club' actor got candid about having to navigate through life's ups and downs while chatting with 'Entertainment Tonight' at the 'F1' premiere in Mexico City Monday night. 'No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on,' he told the outlet when asked what's making him 'feel grounded.' 'It'll lead to the next success,' the 61-year-old dad of six, who showed off his new buzz cut, added. Pitt, who is now dating Ines de Ramon, said that at his age, he sees 'how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back.' 'Friends, family, and that's it,' he added. 'From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation.' Pitt's comments come two weeks after he broke his silence on finalizing his split from Jolie, 50, after eight long years. When GQ asked the 'Meet Joe Black' star if he felt 'relief' when he and the 'Maleficent' actress legally settled their split at the end of last year, he replied: 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing.' 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally,' he added. The exes settled their divorce in December 2024, more than eight years after Jolie had initially filed for the dissolution of their marriage in September 2016. 'More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,' the mom of six's lawyer, James Simon, told Page Six at the time. 'This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.' The 'Maria' star's legal team filed court documents stating that she had waived 'any right to receive' spousal support from Pitt 'forever.' The 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' co-stars share six kids together: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. None of the children are on speaking terms with Pitt and several of them have even opted to drop his last name.
