Paul Brunson gives verdict on 'closure chat' after Tasha Ghouri's sad admission
Relationship expert Paul C. Brunson has shared his thoughts on why closure chats are important after a breakup - after Tasha Ghouri said she hopes she can have one with her ex Andrew Le Page Traditionally, a breakup means you've ended the relationship and will never speak to your ex again - so why are people now so adamant on a "closure" chat? A closure chat is typically when a couple who have recently broken up, meet up and talk about the breakup, offering the chance to get feelings off their chest, and accept the relationship is done and dusted. A study, published in the Sage Journal Emerging Adulthood, shows that those who gain this understanding of why the relationship broke down will experience less inner turmoil during and after the breakup. However closure chats cause mixed opinions, with some thinking it's just an excuse to talk to an ex with the hopes of getting back together. But relationship expert Paul C Brunson has said it is a good chance to be able to move on properly. Love Island star Tasha Ghouri recently spoke to Rylan Clark on his podcast Rylan: How to Be in Love, where she admitted she never had the "closure chat" with her ex Andrew Le Page. Tasha and Andrew met in the famous dating show villa, and were together for nearly three years before they called it quits earlier this year.

Now Tasha has spoken out about their split to Rylan, where she said they never had the "closing chapter". The strictly star said: "He was the first boy I was in love with. I learned so much from him and he taught me so much about love and I will take that with me." However, Tasha said it was " weird" that they didn't have the closing chapter. She continued: "You know when you have that last chat and you have that closure? We didn't have that," and said she feels like it's still "lingering". Tasha confessed to Rylan she thinks one day they will have the chat and hopes when things are settled they can get back in touch and find "civil-ness" between them.

Paul, who is an expert on the dating show Married At First Sight, as well as Tinder's Global Relationship Expert told Daily Mirror: "Closure isn't about dragging up old drama, it's about giving yourself permission to move on properly. It's a chance to get clarity, say your piece, and leave the relationship with some emotional loose ends tied up." He said it's a chance for you to have a "clean slate" for the future and closure "helps draw a clear line between your past and your present, so you can show up with real intent and emotional clarity." In 2025, emotional availability is one of the top qualities singles are seeking - with 30% naming it as a key trait in potential matches. Having the chat is doesn't mean you're then ready to date again afterwards, Paul said "it's also about showing that you value your own wellbeing" and concluded: "So before you jump back into the dating pool, take a beat. Have the chat and say what you need to say. It's not just about looking back, it's about giving yourself the space to move forward, with confidence and clarity. Your next match will thank you for it." Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!

Following her recent break-up, she's declared herself ready to start dating again, sharing with Heat magazine: "I feel ready to open those doors again and start dating." She's also eyeing up a future that includes marriage and children: "At some point, I do want to get married and have kids - that's still my goal."

Model Munroe Bergdorf talks the magic of loving another trans woman
Munroe Bergdorf has experienced the magic of love, and it took another trans woman to show it to her. Bergdorf, a history-making model, writer, and trans activist, opened up about her love life on the podcast Rylan: How to Be in Love with host Rylan Clark. She said that the most significant thing in her life that changed her view about love was the first time she fell in love with a woman, and specifically a trans woman. Discussing her relationship with her ex-girlfriend, Ava, who has passed away, Bergdorf said it was the first time she felt true love. "Because I realized how much love was what I thought it should be, rather than what it actually is," Bergdorf said. "And I never thought I would fall in love with another woman, especially a trans woman, because I hadn't processed or allowed myself to understand that I, as a trans woman, deserve love." "We're constantly told that trans people are, like, an abomination. That people shouldn't even be friends with trans people, we shouldn't employ trans people, we shouldn't let their kids near trans people. All these awful things that ultimately make you feel unlovable," she continued. "So, then, when another trans woman comes along, you've got all of this internalized hatred oftentimes. Then that whole relationship opened my eyes. And I was like, 'Of course she deserves love, so of course I deserve love, and then why can't we love each other?'" That relationship also expanded her idea of her sexuality, as she had only been with men before. Bergdorf said that the relationship made her realize that any time a man showed her attention or affection, she would feel lovable. She was seeking that male validation instead of finding actual love. Bergdorf said that nowadays, she identifies as queer, but doesn't want a label to limit herself. "I don't really feel the need to define myself by a box, because I feel like you end up becoming box-shaped oftentimes," she said. Bergdorf recently released the her book Talk To Me: How to Talk About the Things That Matter, and has an upcoming documentary, Love & Rage: Munroe Bergdorf, coming out July 15. The documentary takes an intimate look at her life and serves as a rallying cry for trans rights. Watch the Love & Rage trailer below.

Rylan Clark confesses to 'secret single behaviour' as he opens up about dating
Rylan Clark has admitted he's been 'on his own' for the past few years and only been on two dates in the last two years as he opened up about his single life and candidly opened up about his personal quirks Rylan Clark has confessed that the glare of fame has dampened his dating life, as he admits to being solitary and only going on two dates in the past couple of years. The 36 year old TV and radio personality enjoys a night out at bars and clubs but hesitates to approach potential interests due to his public profile. In a candid chat with 67 year old psychotherapist Philippa Perry on his podcast 'Rylan: How to Be in Love', he shared: "I've genuinely been in a situation where I've been in a bar, and I've looked at someone across the way. "They've looked at me, I've looked at them, and I would never feel confident going up to someone because of my job. I think, 'Are they looking at me because I'm Rylan, or are they looking at me because they think, he's alright?" Since parting ways with his husband Dan Neal in 2021, the BBC Radio 2 presenter has experienced loneliness while living by himself for the first time ever, reports the Manchester Evening News. Rylan revealed: "For the past few years, I have been on my own, in the sense of living on my own, which is something I've never done in my entire life. But I have got to the point where I've got my 'SSB', my Secret Single Behaviour, where I might talk to the coffee machine in the morning and go, 'Of course you want me to empty the drip trays!'" Rylan Clark has candidly opened up about his personal quirks and love life post-divorce, revealing what he seeks in a partner. The TV personality, who split from his husband Dan, has been back on the dating scene, even embarking on blind dates in Italy with his mate Rob Rinder, 47, for their BBC Two series 'Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour'. In a frank admission, Rylan shared his unique outlook: "You know, it winds me up, but I will say it out loud. Some people might think I'm unwell. I'm not, it's my Secret Single Behaviour." He also disclosed the qualities he desires in a potential partner: "I want two things out of someone; one is that you make me laugh and don't make me cry. And the other one is when I walk into the house, or you walk into the house, you ask me or I ask you, 'How was your day?'". Fans can delve deeper into Rylan's thoughts on romance by tuning into his podcast 'Rylan: How to Be in Love', available on BBC Sounds and visually on BBC iPlayer.
