The Haim bassist - who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, where the body is unable to produce insulin correctly, when she was 14 years old - had advised her then-partner that there was a chance her future children could also develop the condition, and was stunned when his reaction was to end their relationship. In an interview with Britain's GQ magazine, Este said: "I had a guy break up with me because I said that there was a possibility that our kid would have diabetes. "He was like, 'Then why are we here?' And I was like, 'What?!'" The Haim sisters have been sharing their dating woes on TikTok in honour of their new single 'Relationships', and Alana Haim admitted one story she'd told was worse than she described on the platform, having ignored advice from her siblings and flown from Los Angeles to London for New Year's Eve to meet a mystery musician she'd been dating for a year, only for him to high-five her at midnight and for it to later emerge that he'd been cheating on her. She said: "I was 20, and I was so in love with this guy in a band. Everyone thinks it's about another guy and it's not him, that theory is wrong."

I was devastated. Devastated!"

And now, unless someone's gonna make me so much more happy, I'm good." Este announced her engagement to Jonathan Levin in February. Sharing a selfie on Instagram at the time, she showed off a sparkly diamond ring on her wedding finger, and donned a blue t-shirt that read "I'm taken".

HAIM singer Este reveals a boyfriend once broke up with her over her health condition as the sisters share their dating horror stories for GQ cover
HAIM singer Este has revealed that a boyfriend once broke up with her over her health condition. Sisters Alana, Este and Danielle shared their dating horror stories as they starred on GQ's Heroes Issue cover on Tuesday for their summer edition. Este, 39, - who is now happily engaged to partner Jonathan Levin - reflected on some tough experiences with men in the past amid dealing with her Type 1 diabetes. She was diagnosed at age 14 and has spoken openly about the challenges of managing the condition, especially as a touring musician. She told the publication: 'I had a guy break up with me because I said that there was a possibility that our kid would have diabetes. 'He was like, 'Then why are we here?' And I was like, 'What?!'

Alana, 33, sympathised and shared a dating horror story herself, saying: 'I had a boyfriend that gave me an ultimatum between doing Licorice Pizza and staying with him. 'I obviously made the right choice...' She starred in the film Licorice Pizza 2021 as she made her film debut. In the interview Danielle also spoke about the things she learned about herself being single following her split from producer Ariel Rechtshaid. She said: 'That I'm OK alone. Not only OK, but so happy. Sorry to be that b**ch but I'm like, really having a great time being by myself. 'And now, unless someone's gonna make me so much more happy, I'm good.' Este and Jonathan got engaged in February of this year. At the time she took to Instagram to declare that she was off-the-market in a quirky selfie, flashing a massive square-cut diamond ring on her wedding finger. Though she did not caption the snap, her T-shirt said it all. She modeled a pastel blue tee that read 'I'm taken' in bedazzled lettering while appearing to be sitting in a bed. And while it is unknown how long the pal of Taylor Swift and the tech entrepreneur have been dating, the lovebirds have been seen together at several events including this year's Super Bowl game in New Orleans, Louisiana. Sharing the post to her 352K followers, the HAIM bandmember's fans flooded the comments in support of her and her now fiancé. Responding to a fan in the comments that wrote 'oh she's TAKEN taken,' the No Body No Crime vocalist said, 'TAKEN IS RIGHT.' Later that day, the performer shared another post of herself showing off her half-moon tattoo on her chest, seemingly shading her former flames. 'f*ck all my exes,' she penned in the caption. The week before the star took to her Instagram Story to wish her future husband a Happy Valentine's Day with a sweet screenshot of them on Face Time. 'happy valentine's day, i love you j,' she penned over the snap. While she and her sisters Danielle, 35, and Alana - who are her HAIM bandmates - typically keep a low profile, Este has previously gotten candid about her journey with 'self-love.' She told The Cut in 2023: 'I don't think I truly understood self-love until the last three or four years. 'There's an air of confidence that comes from just loving yourself, the good and the bad.' The star — who was an opener alongside her sisters on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour — also previously revealed the importance of surrounding oneself with strong female influences. The blonde beauty specifically praised Swift, 35, for being a good support system when she just needs a friend to talk to. 'She's a true genius, and she's also, like, the best friend and the best hang,' she said of the Cruel Summer singer. 'We had an amazing time at the U.S. Open ... yeah I would do that like a jillion times over again. That was so much fun,' she added. Este did not tag Jonathon nor did she reveal any further details into her plans to exchange nuptials with her man. The Heroes Issue of British GQ is available via digital download and on newsstands on June 10.

HAIM pose for their new album cover in a VERY unlikely location while sporting a WHSmith carrier bag - and fans are going wild
The all-American girl band HAIM has posed for their new album cover in a very surprising UK location. The Grammy-nominated trio, named after the surname of bandmates and sisters Alana, 33, Danielle, 36, and Este, 39, have become internationally famous for their pop-rock songwriting and instrumental skills. But the cover of their next single from their upcoming album I Quit, set to drop on Friday, depicts a location much closer to home, as far as UK fans are concerned. The artwork for the song Take Me Back features a snap of the American band on Portland Street in Manchester - with youngest sister Alana clutching a WHSmith bag. The album, set for full release on June 20, marks HAIM's first studio recording in five years, so fans were already hyped - but the randomness of the shoot has sent them over the edge. 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. One user questioned on X: 'This is Manchester. Why are HAIM near Piccadilly Gardens?' Another joked: 'The new HAIM single cover taken in Manchester, like girls, why didn't we hang?' Someone else said: 'HAIM's new single cover has reminded me how much I miss Vegan Shack [restaurant in Manchester]. This is Portland Street in Manchester.' This is most certainly not the first time Manchester has featured on notable music artwork. On the cover of Oasis's iconic 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe is a now legendary house in the West Didsbury area of Manchester. And Salford Lads Club, the home of a youth group, has become a pilgrimage site for fans of The Smiths, who were pictured outside on the front of their 1986 album The Queen Is Dead. But it still caught fans unawares to see somewhere so familiar in HAIM's album art, with one commenting in confusion on X: 'HAIM single cover in Manchester with Alana clutching a WHSmith bag...?' Another said in complete shock, of the location near the city centre's Piccadilly Gardens: 'WTF were HAIM doing in Manchester?' The album, set for full release on June 20, marks HAIM's first studio recording in five years, so fans were already hyped - but the randomness of the shoot has sent them over the edge (pictured) Someone else, posting a picture of the exact place on Portland Street where the photo of the band was taken, said: 'That's... Portland Street, Manchester. 'Not the first place I'd pick for a single cover but pop off.' Fans also noted the album cover was styled after a paparazzi snap of British actors Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan, taken in 2004. One said: 'The artwork for HAIM's new single Take Me Back was inspired by a 2004 photo of Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan. Drops tomorrow - don't miss it.' The cover shows the three sisters walking along the street, with youngest sisters Danielle and Alana dressed exactly like the Brits in the noughties snap. The attention to detail is astonishing, with Danielle even wearing a white scarf draped over her shoulders at exactly the same angle Keira is sporting it at in the photo. It comes after three other singles the band released from their upcoming album earlier this year also took inspiration from iconic paparazzi snaps. The cover of Down To Be Wrong, for example, which debuted last month, was based on a picture of actors Jared Leto and Scarlett Johansson kissing - while he distractedly tried to look at his mobile flip phone at the same time. The director of the cover shoot, Terrence O'Connor, spoke out on X (pictured) about the process of bringing the album art to life They are set to return to Manchester later this year, for a huge show at the Co-Op Live stadium in October, while on tour. Pictured: HAIM at the Grammy Awards in 2021 But in a first for the band's marketing for this album, the inspiration behind the cover for Take Me Back is uniquely British. And in a pleasing Easter egg moment for HAIM fans familiar with Manchester, well-known spots like restaurant Don Tacos and One Piccadilly Gardens offices are visible in the cover photo, the Manchester Evening News reports. The director of the shoot, Terrence O'Connor, spoke out on X about the process of bringing the album art to life. The photographer, known for his long-time collaboration with British singer Charli XCX, said: 'Take me back to me and D buying out the Manchester Victoria's Secret and shooting this two hours later lol. 'Artwork by me for Take Me Back by HAIM. Styled by us chaotically the morning of as always. A perfect song for my/your nostalgia addiction out Friday!' HAIM's single release will come after their hit performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool last weekend. And they are set to return to Manchester later this year, for a huge show at the Co-Op Live stadium in October, while on tour.

Power outage hits Cannes Festival and disrupts traffic in south-east France
About 160,000 households in the Alpes-Maritimes department lost electricity after a high-voltage line fell on Saturday morning, electricity network operator RTE said on X. The outage came hours after a fire at an electrical substation near Cannes overnight had already weakened the grid. Cannes Film Festival organisers confirmed the outage affected the early activities of Saturday and said the Palais des Festivals – the Croisette's main venue — had switched to an independent power supply. Este Haim and Danielle Haim at the premiere of the film The Mastermind (Invision/AP) 'All scheduled events and screenings, including the Closing Ceremony, will proceed as planned and under normal conditions,' the statement said. 'At this stage, the cause of the outage has not yet been identified. Restoration efforts are underway.' Screenings at the Cineum, one of the festival's satellite venues, were briefly suspended, the festival added. Traffic lights in parts of Cannes and the surrounding city of Antibes stopped working after 10am, leading to traffic jams and confusion in city centres. Most shops along the Croisette remained closed, and local food kiosks were only accepting cash. Train services in Cannes were also disrupted. Authorities said restoration efforts are ongoing and urged residents to remain cautious during travel.
