Aaron Chalmers' son may need wheelchair as ex cries over heartbreaking health condition
Aaron Chalmers' ex, Talia Oatway, has revealed their little boy, Oakley, may need a wheelchair in heartbreaking news. Little Oakley, three, was born with Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder, which causes the skull, hands and foot bones to fuse together.
Sharing recent photos of her son, Talia, who split up from her Geordie Shore star ex shortly after Oakley was born, admitted she 'cries a lot' as she gave an emotional update on the tot's progress.
It comes after singer, Jessie J, updated fans on her health after being rushed to hospital with an infection and fluid on her lungs, weeks after breast cancer surgery.
Responding to a follower on Instagram, who told Talia how amazing it was to see Oakley taking his first steps in a video his proud mum had shared online, the model said he may end up depending on a wheelchair, explaining: "Ah thank you, he will only walk outside for a very very short time (like a few minutes) at home he walks more.
"The bones on the bottom of his feet are becoming more prominent, which is where I need to keep an eye on.
"A lot of Apert children require feet surgery and depend on wheelchairs at times. This is due to the bones on the bottom of their feet causing pain up to their backs."
Later on in the Q&A, Talia was told how "amazing", but she replied: "Thank you, I honestly don't think I'm strong. I am very emotional at times. I cry a lot especially in situations where I can't get my point across or when I'm overwhelmed.
"I have tried to hold my emotions in as much as I can especially when the kids are around."
Aaron and Talia welcomed Oakley into the world in February 2022. The former couple also share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three.
They got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley's birth.
Aaron, who found fame on MTV's Geordie Shore, made his debut with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in April. Speaking to the Mirror about how he struggled to cope after Oakley was born, he said: "Everything was going in the right direction, and then after my last fight in the November - a few days later my cousin died, who was literally my best mate, my brother. He passed away and I just went on a slippery slope. I started drinking f***ing really, really badly. Drinking badly.
"And then leading into 2024, my son… As I was trying to get myself back on the straight and narrow, my son went into hospital. It was meant to be a routine head surgery, and he was in a coma and he was in Liverpool fighting for his life for eight weeks, and I just didn't deal with it."

Halsey is SLAMMED for uncomfortably raunchy post in bed with fiance that fans say should be 'illegal'
Halsey was criticized for sharing an exhibitionist snap of her shirtless fiancé Avan Jogia embracing her bare legs while they were in bed Tuesday. The 30-year-old pop star - who boasts 70.7M social media followers - captioned her Instagram slideshow: 'There's babygirl everywhere for those with the eyes to see.' The 33-year-old former Nickelodeon star replied in the comments section: 'Air is unbreathable without you in it.' 'Babygirl' was likely a reference to the time the betrothed couple donned fetish wear to attend the December 11th premiere of Nicole Kidman 's erotic BDSM thriller of the same name in West Hollywood, CA. Halsey (born Ashley Frangipane) was slammed for the PDA post by Instagram users like @collectsunrays, who commented: 'First slide should be illegal.' 'I shouldn't have had to see that,' Instagram user @_old_accountttt blasted. 'At least give a warning.' Instagram user @ posted crying laughing and fire emojis and wrote: 'What's the first pic, Halsey?' 'Mind you I just opened this app,' Instagram user @crowded_mind commented. And Instagram user @enis_no scolded: 'Halsey that's not appropriate! There are kids on Instagram.' The three-time Grammy nominee and Avan - who originally met in Barcelona - announced they were engaged September 12 after a year-long whirlwind romance, and she 'just knew I wanted to marry him.' 'I never wanted to be married - never,' Halsey scoffed on the October 30th episode of Call Her Daddy. 'I can't even explain why [I want to marry Jogia] you know what I mean? Because I do I love him in such a way that I feel like we would be just as fine if we didn't, but something about that makes me want to do it more.' The groom and bride-to-be both happen to be biracial - Avan is half Indian and Halsey is half black. The Ego songstress also included a puzzle snap of her son Ender Ridley Aydin from her five-year relationship with babydaddy Alev Aydin, which ended in 2023. When little Ender turned four on July 14, Halsey gushed that he was 'the best thing I've ever been a part of.' 'Everyday I am left speechless and awe-struck by how kind, insightful, gentle, funny, creative, curious and cool he is,' the About-Face Beauty founder captioned her Instagram slideshow. 'I shouldn't have had to see that,' Instagram user @_old_accountttt blasted. 'At least give a warning' 'Mind you I just opened this app,' Instagram user @crowded_mind commented And Instagram user @enis_no scolded: 'Halsey that's not appropriate! There are kids on Instagram' 'His favorite painter is Van Gogh. He loves A Tribe Called Quest and The Cranberries. He collects tiny treasures and stores them in jars. He is the first person to notice if a friend gets hurt. He remembers names and favorite colors, and his is yellow because he is joy. He is absolute magic.' Halsey previously romanced Evan Peters, Yungblud, G-Eazy, Machine Gun Kelly, Lido, and Matty Healy. Meanwhile, the Autopsy of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob poet previously dated his Zombieland co-star Zoey Deutch between 2012-2017 and his Now Apocalypse co-star Cleopatra Coleman between 2017-2021. The New Jersey native will next portray Mandy Starr in Tony Tost's long-delayed crime thriller Americana, which hits US theaters August 15 and UK theaters August 22. That's technically two years after Americana's world premiere at South by Southwest and three years after production wrapped in New Mexico. Lionsgate's modern-day western - formerly known as National Anthem - also stars Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Eric Dane, and Simon Rex. Halsey then concludes her $3.5M-grossing, 31-date For My Last Trick: The Tour at Turkey's Yenikapi Festival Park in Istanbul on August 28, which will be filmed. The I Never Loved You belter will also reunite with her MaXXXine director Ti West for Amazon MGM Studios series Bloodlust that she's creating, writing, and producing. 'I started the pilot a few years ago and Amazon wanted it and they took it and now we're getting it on the road,' Halsey told THR on Sunday. 'There's not so much that I can say but it's really cool to be a part of a project that I don't face. It's quite relieving. [I'm] just behind the scenes, just the puppet master. I don't have to do my make-up.' As for Avan, his upcoming acting projects include Amazon MGM Studios' eight-episode erotic thriller 56 Days and A24's sci-fi horror The Backrooms directed by Kane Parsons.

Meghan toasts to ‘beautiful day' as she launches new rose wine
The Duchess of Sussex has toasted to a 'beautiful day' to mark the launch of her latest rose wine. Meghan released her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2024 – described as evoking the same 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish' as the 2023 rose – on Tuesday. It comes after the previous rose, launched last month, sold out within an hour. In a video posted on her Instagram, Meghan can be seen uncorking a bottle marked 'Bottle #1' in front of bouquets of pink and cream flowers – followed by close-up of the cork bearing the As Ever logo.

As Ever is Meghan's lifestyle brand which also sells cookie mix, herb tea, flower sprinkles and jams. A post on the company's Instagram show the corks branded with the As Ever logo, with a caption reading: 'C'est l'heure. 'Enjoy your last sips of summer with the newest vintage of our beloved Napa Valley rose.'
