Tia Lineker looks glamorous in a champagne dress as she poses with father Wayne at Gary Lineker's son Harry's Ibiza wedding - despite 17-year family feud
Tia Lineker put on a glamorous display as she posed with her father Wayne at a family wedding over the weekend. The model and influencer, 26, showed off her incredible figure in a satin fringed champagne dress. She completed the look with a matching handbag and white peep toe heels as she posed for slew of stunning Instagram snaps. Wayne, 63, shared a picture of himself enjoying a glass of wine with daughter Tia at his brother Gary's son Harry's Ibiza wedding, despite the 17-year family feud. Tia was also joined at the event by her football manager partner Harry Agombar, who she got engaged to last year. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The couple have been together for eight years and welcomed Alba via emergency C-section in December 2021. Wayne also took to Instagram to share a snap of himself looking dapper in a grey blazer and white trousers as he posed alongside son Freddie. Captioning his post, he penned: 'The boys are ready for the big family wedding today as my nephew @harry_lineker weds the beautiful @bellacfh_ #ibizawedding.' Wayne has three sons - Duane, Sean, and Freddie - and daughter Tia. It comes after Wayne reunited with brother Gary at a family wedding despite their 17-year feud. The former Match Of The Day pundit, 64, looked in great spirits as he raucously downed alcohol while celebrating his second eldest son's nuptials to fiancée Annabelle in Ibiza. In a video shared to Instagram, Gary necked back the drink before the bottle was passed to his entrepreneur younger brother, 63, with the pair having seemingly buried the hatchet for the family event. Gary shares Harry, 31 - as well as other sons George, 34, Tobias, 29, and Angus, 27, with ex wife Michelle Cockayne who he tied the knot with in 1986. The former footballer's high-spirited celebrations - which left him worse for wear - comes just days after he quit the BBC amid his explosive anti-Semitic rat post row. Gary and Wayne's feud dates back to 2008, when former England and Barcelona striker Gary started seeing Danielle Bux and brought her on holiday to Ibiza. 'In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life,' Wayne told The Sun in April 2015. Wayne was left confused when their weekly phone conversations and home visits ended abruptly - but he blames it on an awkward first encounter with Danielle, who Gary married in 2009 but divorced in 2016. 'They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward. I didn't spark with Danielle and our relationship was cold,' said Wayne. Wayne claimed that Danielle stayed in her room on the first day and they did not speak to one another during a night out the following night. The influencer did not want to risk upsetting his brother by bringing the tension up with Gary - but Wayne never spoke to Danielle after the holiday. He was the best man at Gary's first wedding to ex-wife Michelle Cockayne in 1986, but he was not even a guest at his brother's second set of nuptials. The club owner refused to attend because his brother told him that he couldn't bring his then-girlfriend, Ana Tanaka, who he been with for 18 months. 'She was a lovely, polite girl, and not a five-minute girlfriend,' argued Wayne. Wayne has claimed that he has tried to reconcile the relationship in the past, including on Gary's 50th birthday but a phone call between the pair lasted last less than a minute. Wayne recently reflected on his 17-year feud with his brother, telling The Mail's Straight to the Comments! podcast that things remain strained between the two, noting: 'It's not so good to be honest, we don't really speak very often. I'll always be his number one fan.' However, the duo have appeared to put their differences aside as they joined other family members to celebrate Harry's big day. Gary cut a very sharp figure in a tan blazer as he posed eldest son George, with their matching attire indicating they were both groomsmen. Gary went on to share details of the nuptials on his The Rest Is Football podcast on Monday, telling co-host Alan Shearer: 'I had Harry's wedding which went swimmingly well. 'He had an amazing speech and the bride looked amazing, it was a beautiful day. The Sun was shining and it was great.' The star went on to admit that he's a bit worse for wear following the wild celebrations, noting: 'I'm a bit fuzzy and a little bit jaded, yes! As you would expect.'

Wayne and Gary Lineker's bitter feud: How brothers' falling out over BBC star's ex wife Danielle Bux rumbled on for 17 YEARS - as tensions finally thaw at family wedding
For almost two decades the Lineker family has been in turmoil over brothers Wayne and Gary's feud. The pair chose very different career paths from the off - with Gary, 64, dedicating his life to football punditry and hosting Match Of The Day on the BBC for 25 years before leaving the show last month. Meanwhile wild Wayne, 63, turned his love of partying into a successful business - now running the hugely-popular O Beach Club in Ibiza. Their feud began when Wayne made it clear he didn't get on with Gary's ex wife Danielle Bux and the pair have since struggled to find common ground. But after years of avoiding each other - they reunited at Gary's son Harry's wedding in Ibiza over the weekend, marking the first time they have been seen in the same room together for years. In a video shared to Instagram, Gary necked back an alcoholic drink before the bottle was passed to his entrepreneur younger brother, with the pair having seemingly buried the hatchet for the family event. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Gary shares Harry, 31 - as well as other sons George, 34, Tobias, 29, and Angus, 27, with ex wife Michelle Cockayne who he tied the knot with in 1986. And Wayne is still close with Gary's sons who often share snaps visiting O Beach with their friends during lavish holidays and stag dos to Ibiza - making the invite to Harry's wedding only natural. Gary is also now entering a new stage of his life having left the BBC amid his explosive anti-Semitic rat post row. His previously clean-cut image as the face of one of the BBC's biggest shows often seemed to jar with Wayne's party boy antics at the club - but now that his TV work is taking a back seat there could be room for the pair to reconcile. However Danielle is still very much in Gary's life with with the presenter previously admitting some might find their friendship 'unusual' as they speak 'three times a day'. Gary and Wayne's feud dates back to 2008, when former England and Barcelona striker Gary started seeing Danielle Bux and brought her on holiday to Ibiza.

It comes as the long-serving Match of the Day host recently presented his final programme for the channel on the last day of the 2024-25 season. Gary had been set to continue working with the BBC for next year's 2026 World Cup as the front man of the channel's coverage in North America, as well as leading FA Cup coverage. But the England legend announced that he would step back from the broadcaster for good after becoming embroiled in controversy for sharing an Instagram story about Zionism featuring a rat - an antisemitic trope used by the Nazis to characterise Jewish people as vermin. Announcing his exit in a BBC statement, the former England footballer said that he '(recognised) the error and upset that (he) caused. 'Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action,' he added, stating that he 'would never consciously repost anything antisemitic'. After Lineker shared his statement stepping back from the broadcaster, the BBC's director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski sent an email to staff minutes afterwards highlighting how 'difficult and emotional' the rolling controversy had been for many of his employees. He added: 'It is sad to be saying goodbye to such a brilliant broadcaster and I also want to thank Gary for his years of service'.

Gary Lineker reunites with brother Wayne amid 17-year feud as they swig booze from the bottle during pundit's son Harry's Ibiza wedding - with star left worse for wear after wild bash
Gary Lineker raucously swigged booze from a bottle as he reunited with brother Wayne at a family wedding amid their 17-year feud.

How Wayne Lineker has made Ibiza the go-to destination for Premier League stars this summer after building 'adult Disneyland' on party island - and the one player who spent £51,000 there
After playing football for 11 months of the year, players in the professional game just want to blow off steam. Early nights, good nutrition, and intense training go out of the window - they want to escape the pressure that is on their shoulders. Like many who get granted their annual leave, a lot of stars will spend quality time with their families, who they have spent many a day away from during the season. The locations of their holidays are slightly more glamorous than where the average Joe gets to go, with Dubai, Barbados, and Marbella among the popular destinations for footballers who enjoy family time. For players jetting to those trio of locations, it's time to kick their feet up, relax, and get a tan. However, not all players chase tranquility. After working as hard as they do for so long, and with how disciplined they have to be to stay in tip-top chase, many want to let loose. Where do they go to do that? Well, where better than Ibiza? It's the party capital of the world. And the one place that they seem to go more than anywhere else is Ocean Beach, owned by Wayne Lineker. Launched by the brother of now former Match of the Day presenter, Gary - also a national treasure - in 2012, O Beach is a hot spot for the game's biggest stars, as well as a whole raft of other celebrities. 'In June, it's like a PFA meeting in Ocean. It's that many of them. It's good fun,' Lineker told talkSPORT last week. Even Liverpool boss Arne Slot was seen living it up there earlier this month, following the Reds' Premier League triumph. The season hadn't even finished at that point, but the partying at Ocean Beach was in full flow. Slot could be seen getting a kiss on the cheeky from Lineker - no, not Gary - before he went behind the DJ decks as Queen's 'We Are the Champions' blared out. It was originally thought that the Dutchman opted to go to Ibiza on his own, while his Liverpool squad had a big bash in Dubai. However, that was not the case. 'Who did we have last week?' Lineker continued. 'Harvey Elliott was in the other day. I ended up in Pacha with Elliott at six o'clock on Sunday morning.' Jude Bellingham is the latest high-profile footballer to have been welcomed to the venue with open arms by Wayne. The Real Madrid star, 21, chose to celebrate his brother Jobe's promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland. English football's golden boy was all smiles as he enjoyed several beverages with his pals, and Lineker, as they sat in an exclusive VIP area. But what is it about O Beach that entices so many stars? Every year, Wayne can be seen partying with the next big name in football, or even music. The turnover of top stars in the club is just remarkable. The 63-year-old's path has been very different from older brother Gary's from an early age. While one was doing big things with the ball at his feet, the other was dropping out of school at 14 to pursue a career in business. In 1986, Wayne opened his first bar as he looked to break into the hospitality scene. It was the same year in which Gary won the Golden Boot award at the World Cup in Mexico, so he named the venue in Tenerife, Lineker's Bar. The bar was a huge success, and Lineker's reputation in the industry grew rapidly, taking him to Marbella, and then Ibiza in 2008. Four years later, Ocean Beach was opened, and it has only grown in popularity with each passing year. Lineker himself regards it as 'Adult Disneyland', as celebrities and party-goers flock in their thousands to get a glimpse of the silver fox. 'I compare it to Mickey Mouse at Disneyland when he comes out and everyone runs to get a picture," Lineker once quipped. 'But I'm the Mickey Mouse of adult Disneyland. 'I literally have to plan my day around it because it's got so intense, 500-600 pictures a day.' It's true, snaps of Lineker and stars flood timelines on the daily. You can always see him posing with a celebrity at this time of year, usually Jack Grealish. Lineker admitted that 'it's like a parade' when Irish UFC star Conor McGregor arrives at the club Grealish is a regular at Ocean Beach with Lineker once joking about the prospect of a four-week loan deal for the Manchester City man at his beach club, following his omission from the England Euro 2024 squad. Believe it or not, though, Grealish is not believed to be the biggest spender at Lineker's party empire. In fact, it's not a footballer at all. Controversial mixed martial artist Conor McGregor and YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI are the individuals who splashed the most cash, with Lineker opening up on what it was like to host the pair. 'I had sorted everything out for KSI. Made sure he was on the owner's table - it's the best spot,' he told the Let Me Land podcast last year. 'And, because they've got the boat with 100 bottles of champagne on, that was all going to the table. They did it right. But yeah, KSI was probably, as far as celebrities go, the biggest party. 'We have other people that just go crazy and spend a lot of money. Obviously, Conor McGregor... he parties! When he walks in it's just a parade. He's got all his security with him.' It is believed that KSI spent a whopping £51,000 on 600 bottles of champagne during his trip to Ocean Beach in June 2023. Don't scratch your eyes, that is a real sentence. Meanwhile, McGregor made his infamous visit in 2022 for his 34th birthday alongside family and friends, with the Irishman even getting into an argument with a fellow partygoer who threw a hat at him. Not all celebrities have had positive experiences, mind. Jonathan Hutchinson - a former Birmingham City footballer - was paralysed after breaking his neck following a dive into the Ocean Beach swimming pool back in 2016. The ex-pro, who played in the Blues backline during the Premier League 2001-02 season, was found floating in a pool, unmoved, before being rushed to hospital where it was discovered that he had sustained devastating spinal injuries. The now 43-year-old now requires 24-hour care, and in 2020 decided to take legal action against the club, suing Lineker for £8.5million in damages. Lineker's reputation remains unblemished in the celebrity party scene, however, and Bellingham's recent trip to his club signals the start of a wave of footballers who will hit Ibiza over the summer. He may even get another visit from Love Island presenter Maya Jama - who has been on numerous occasions in the past - due to her relationship with City star Ruben Dias. What we know for certain is that O Beach will be packed to the brim with celebrities once again this year - it always is.
