Robin Thicke's much younger bride-to-be April Love Geary 'nauseous' ahead of wedding this weekend
Robin Thicke and his fiancée since 2018, April Love Geary, touched down in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Thursday ahead of their wedding this weekend. At 48, the groom is 18 years older than his bride, but they've been inseparable ever since they met at a 2014 party when she was only 19. 'I get married this weekend, and I leave tomorrow. And my nerves are so bad, like I honestly, all day, have felt like I'm going to vomit,' April confessed Wednesday via Instastory. 'And I'm just going over a checklist in my head of, like, all the things I need to pack, all the things I need to pack for the kids. And, like, of course I haven't packed anything yet. And I leave tomorrow and I'm an idiot. 'But oh my god, I'm so excited! But I'm literally, like, nauseous. Like, I feel like I'm actually going to throw up. Oh my god! I'm going to forget something important.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop On Thursday, Geary excitedly took airport snaps with her maid of honor, sister Cuevas, and with her bridesmaids Stormi Henley and Olivia Karina. 'Let's get y'all married!' they Instastoried. 'Cabo here we come!' Robin technically proposed to the 5ft11in model-turned-influencer twice - in Christmas 2018 and last week outside the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France where they made their public couple debut. 'Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new [Established Jewelry] ring,' April - who boasts 300K Instagram followers - gushed Sunday. 'I'm so obsessed with [the ring], thank you! This trip was such a dream. I love you so much @robinthicke.' Last year, Thicke gushed to People: 'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together. She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.' Indeed, the five-time Grammy nominee and Geary - who enlist a nanny - are proud parents of seven-year-old daughter Mia Love, six-year-old daughter Lola Alain, and four-year-old son Luca Patrick. Robin began dating the brunette beauty nine months after his legal separation from his high school sweetheart Paula Patton, who divorced him in 2015 following a decade-long marriage. Thicke and the 49-year-old SAG Award nominee appear to amicably co-parent their 15-year-old son Julian Fuego.

The SoCal natives will have plenty of time for their honeymoon as Robin has no scheduled concerts on the horizon. Thicke reportedly earns $100K per episode to serve panelist duties on the 14th season of The Masked Singer, which premiers next January on Fox. The Canadian crooner - who still gets 7.1M monthly listeners on Spotify - hasn't released a full-blown record since his eighth studio album On Earth, and in Heaven in 2021. But Robin certainly had a leg up in the industry thanks to his late father, Growing Pains alum Alan Thicke.

ANTIBES, FRANCE – Luxury developer Caudwell has agreed a partnership with the five-star Hôtel Belles Rives to manage the concierge at Le Provençal on the French Riviera, providing residents of the new £300 million plus (GDV) luxury residential address with concierge, lifestyle services, valet parking and the benefit of privileged reservation at the diverse gastronomy, activities and well-being on offer at Hôtel Belles Rives including its one-star Michelin restaurant, famed cocktail bar, spa corner and private beach club. At the gateway to Cap d'Antibes, located adjacent to Hôtel Belles Rives on Boulevard Edouard Baudoin, Le Provençal is the landmark former Hôtel Provençal, built in 1926-27 by architect Lucien Stable for American millionaire Frank Jay Gould, now converted to provide 41 residences, all with secure garaging. Complete with Art Deco styled public areas, cinema, health spa, restaurant, children's playroom, retail boutiques and six acres of landscaped gardens with a 30-metre swimming pool. Le Provençal offers gracious luxury living and amenities unrivalled on the Cote d'Azur. Under the new partnership Hôtel Belles Rives, which is renowned for its luxury and outstanding hospitality, will provide Le Provençal with a range of concierge services that are included in the service charges. The concierge staff will have bespoke uniforms designed to complement the restored iconic building. Managed from a dedicated concierge room the services include concie welcoming guests, valet parking, managing post and deliveries and operating and booking the health spa. Residents at Le Provençal will benefit from privileged reservations, subject to availability, at each of the restaurants at the Hôtel Belles Rives, from the Michelin-starred La Passagère, its beachfront La Plage, the famous Bar Fitzgerald, and Paseo, the convivial all-day dining at Hôtel Juana, as well as beach chairs available at the private beach. In addition, the luxury Swiss skincare house, Valmont, offers a jewel-box of a spa at the hotel where facials and body treatments are on offer. With snacks and drinks served at the water's edge the private beach includes loungers, and a pontoon with a private landing for tenders ferrying guests arriving from superyachts berthed in the Bay of Golfe-Juan. With professional lifeguards on duty daily the private beach can also provide on a tariff basis Le Provençal guests with swimming lessons, water-skiing, pedalos and paddleboards. On a tariff basis, residents of Le Provençal can also benefit from apartment cleaning, bed linen clean and turn down and the provision of flowers. Other concierge services include restaurant bookings, the organisation of museum visits, day trips and cultural tours; the hire of a chauffeur driven Bentley Flying Spur or Mercedes S-class limousine for airport transfer or other Riviera journeys; access to an exclusive collection of Ferrari, Mercedes and BMW sportscars that can be rented during a stay and the hire of skippered motoryachts. Golf enthusiasts can have access to the world-renowned Mougins Golf & Country Club and Golf Club Cannes-Mandelieu whilst teenagers and children can benefit from personalised sports and leisure activities including tennis lessons, dance, games, gym, art classes and French language lessons. The new partnership reunites two iconic buildings which have a unique shared heritage. Hôtel Belles Rives and Hôtel Provençal (now Le Provençal) helped provide the glamorous backdrops for American author F. Scott Fitzgerald's life on the French Riviera during the 1920s and 1930s, which had a key influence on The Great Gatsby, completed in 1925, ironically celebrating the centennial of its release this year, and Tender is the Night which he penned between 1925 and 1933. Hôtel Belles Rives was originally a private residence known as Villa St. Louis which was rented in the summer of 1926 by Fitzgerald, his wife Zelda and their daughter Scottie where the couple socialised with their bohemian circle who included Gertrude Stein, Picasso, Dorothy Parker and Ernest Hemingway. One evening Fitzgerald persuaded musicians performing at a restaurant in Juan-les-Pins to come to Villa St. Louis and perform until dawn, an event that helped to inspire the creation of the hotel's famous Bar Fitzgerald. In 1929 the Villa St. Louis was extended and remodelled into the now iconic Hôtel Belles Rives. The adjacent Hôtel Provençal, opened in 1927, provided another Riviera setting where Fitzgerald, Zelda, and their famous friends liked to socialise, the cocktail bar hosting the Fitzgeralds, Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Sir Winston Churchill. Hôtel Provencal closed for refurbishment in 1977 and never reopened, its future uncertain until it was acquired in 2014 by luxury developer Caudwell. For the restoration Caudwell has worked alongside Parisian architecture and interior design house Affine Design, renowned for the renovation of celebrated hotels such as the Hôtel de Crillon, Hôtel de Paris and Hôtel Shangri-La Paris. Le Provençal is scheduled for completion in summer 2025 with the building's restored public areas including a porte cochère, grand reception lobby and a rotunda with an Ottoman style domed gold leaf ceiling. There is also an Art Deco inspired 16-seat cinema and a 2,155 (200 sq.m.) health spa. Inside the spa a serene sanctuary of wellness beckons with a semi-circular tinted mosaic spa pool with a feature waterfall and jets, an inviting Jacuzzi, vitality pool and submersed beds. Complemented by a sauna, a hammam, a cold plungepool, an ice fountain, hydrotherapy jets and soothing hot stone benches for a deeply rejuvenating experience. There is also a gymnasium, treatment room, fitness studio and a separate female steam room and sauna in the ladies changing rooms. Residents will be able to book health, beauty and spa treatments and private fitness and gym coaching through the concierge. The 41 residences are up to 9,440 (877 sq.m.) in size, and include lateral apartments, penthouses and garden houses/villas. Most of the residences offer outside terraces and views of the sea, with most also benefitting from views of the Alps. Located across the 8th to 11th floors the three penthouses, each with six bedroom suites, all have a private mosaic lined swimming pool and offer panoramic views along the French Riviera including views of Cap d'Antibes, Nice, Monaco, Cannes and the Alps. John Caudwell, British businessman, philanthropist and Founder of Caudwell says: 'The partnership with the Hôtel Belles Rives provides Le Provençal with outstanding 5-star concierge and lifestyle services, valet parking and the benefit of privileged reservation at the Hótel Belles Rives restaurants, cocktail bar and private beach. The concierge security and services such as apartment cleaning, bed linen clean and turn down and airport transfer provide Le Provençal with the perfect lock-up-and-leave offering for second home owners and a premium buy-to-let opportunity for investors.' Stéphane Vuillaume, Director & General Manager at Hôtel Belles Rives, says, 'For nearly a century, Hôtel Belles Rives has embodied the golden age of Riviera hospitality, where timeless elegance meets the refined art of personalized service. Our conciergerie upholds the storied tradition of the grand hotels of Europe, anticipating every need and crafting experiences that capture the effortless glamour of the Côte d'Azur. Residents of Le Provençal will have access to this unparalleled level of service, along with world-class wellness, leisure, and cultural offerings—including our renowned private beach, a cherished retreat on Cap d'Antibes that has welcomed discerning travelers for generations.'
