Woman who celebrated her wedding ALONE gives major update
A woman who celebrated her wedding day alone after being left at the alter has revealed that she found love again with her teenage sweetheart. Kayley Stead from Portmead, Swansea, Wales, was jilted on the morning of her big day by her partner of almost four years Kallum Norton in 2022. Just two hours before she was due to walk down the aisle, the now 29-year-old was told that her fiancé had 'gone for a drive' in the early hours of the morning and changed his number so she couldn't contact him. But Kayley - who paid for the majority of the wedding - decided to celebrate with her friends, family and the groomsmen at her £12,000 reception party instead. Now, two years after she was brutally dumped, Kayley has found her one true love, Richard Perrott. The pair first met at university in 2013 where their friendship as teenagers slowly blossomed into love. Richard asked Kayley out when they first met, but she turned him down as she was fresh out of a relationship. But now the pair have found each other again and reignited their flame, with Kayley saying that her new beau has made her 'the happiest girl'. She now credits Kallum leaving her alone on their wedding day as 'one of the best days of my life' because it allowed her to find the person who 'makes me truly happy'. On September 16 last year, which marked two years since she was left at the alter, Kayley said: 'Happy 2 year anniversary to one of the best days of my life! I forget about this day a lot of the time but my phone's memories reminded me that this crazy day was 2 years ago. 'Looking back now, I can't thank my ex enough for doing what he did because he made the best decision for both of us and its led me back to a person that makes me truly happy. Everything happens for a reason.' Kayley said that the pair got in contact again after Richard, 30, messaged her after he heard about what she had gone through and said he was 'so sorry' about what had happened. A year later, she then replied to one of his Snapchat videos and they continued talking until Richard told Kayley that he was taking her on a date. She told The Mirror: 'I had nothing to lose. I fancied the pants off him when I met him again. He was funny and charming. We didn't really talk about the wedding - he said he knew enough about it.' 'Richard's mum said if you were ever to get married, I would never let him do that to you. I would drag him by the ear. It's been so easy and effortless. This is the relationship I've always dreamed of. I know he's the one. I truly feel so safe with him. 'He said I've always thought of me as being his wife. I know there's going to be a ring one day. I have no fear of what happened at the wedding happening with him.' Despite the heartbreak, Kayley decided to go ahead with the big day, surrounded by her loved ones around her, on September 15 at Oxwich Bay Hotel in Gower, Swansea, Wales. Kayley went ahead with her wedding entrance, meal, speeches and dances and even posed for professional photos without her groom. She even punched off the top tier of her wedding cake and spent her first dance with the groomsmen, her brothers, and her father Brian, 71. She even entered the party singing along to Lizzo's 'Good as Hell' with her bridal party. She managed to cancel her honeymoon and was pleased she still had the party - so money and effort didn't go to waste. Speaking about her wedding day, Kayley said: 'I found my phone and saw I had a missed call from his mum. I called her back and she was crying and told me he had gone for a drive in the early hours of the morning, and he was gone. 'At that point, I wasn't nervous, I was still quite hopeful, as throughout our relationship, he had sometimes gone for a walk or a drive to clear his head when he was nervous. 'For a couple of hours, I was saying he was going to be there, and I was reassuring the girls. I honestly believed, hand on heart, that he was going to be there. 'I asked the girls, his family and the groomsmen to continue getting ready, because I honestly believed he was going to be there.' Kayley said she received a call from the groom's father who said that Kallum would not be attending the wedding which caused her to break down in tears. Kayley then had to tell her parents, the hairdresser and the videographer the heartbreaking news. She said: 'As a joke, the videographer said "Why don't you carry on, girls? You've spent all this money, you're not getting it back, all your guests are there, why don't you just go?" 'My sister was redoing my make-up, because at that point it was all just gone, and she said: 'Why don't you do it, Kayley?' 'That's when I was like, I'm going to do it. I'd spent all this money, I'd been looking forward to the food, a dance with my dad, spending time with my family, so why not?' Kallum refused to comment when approached by MailOnline in 2022. Speaking to the Mirror two years after she was jilted at the alter, Kayley said that she was 'glad' that it happened in this way and that Kallum 'never spoke to me again' as it gave her the closure she needed to move on with Richard. After launching her relationship with Richard on Instagram last year, Kayley was met with much support from her followers. One wrote: 'You deserve all the happiness in the world babe!' Another penned: 'If anyone deserves it my goodness it's this woman. Grinning for a stranger today.' A third said: 'Congratulations Beautiful photo Sending you a big hug from Australia.'

Worried fans wrote: 'You can't be going through heartache princess': 'Wait ur not a single pringle now': So beautiful sweetheart hope you're well': 'Sending love'. MailOnline have contacted Ashley's reps for comment. Last year Ashley gushed to MailOnline that she was in a 'happy place' and said: 'It's really nice to be in a relationship that's kind and thoughtful and supportive and we have fun'. She explained that while online dating works for a lot of people she and George met through mutual friends and their relationship 'came about naturally'. 'It was an unexpected thing, we met, and I was having a good time and living my best life, enjoying it and I was like "this is someone quite special" - I'm in a happy place'. Earlier this month the couple looked happier than ever as they were spotted on a date night at swanky London restaurant Sexy Fish. She flashed a huge smile as she sweetly held hands with George as they strolled together. Artist George has previously collaborated with boxer Francis Ngannou for his fight against Tyson Fury, decorating the Cameroonian's boots with his own designs and has created elaborate pieces for the likes of celebrity clients Drake and Anthony Joshua. Alongside the clip the singer, who has been dating George since 2023, penned: 'To all my hunnis feeling the sting of heartbreak right now The singer recently gave an insight into her love life and revealed why she prefers dating Brits over American men. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Ashley said she feels like an 'adopted Brit' after moving to London from the US in 2012 after her appearance on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. She admitted she could never imagine dating a man from the US now because they're 'overwhelming'. She said: 'Yes, George is British. It's funny because I have been here so long that when I go back to the States, I'm much more aware of the differences… 'American men are, I feel bad saying this, but they're overwhelming, they are too much. I'm like, you need to calm down. 'I think because I grew up in that culture, I didn't necessarily think anything different but now I've lived here for so long and I've dated in the past, many years ago, European men... 'But I don't even imagine myself dating an American guy now. They have a different approach. Even in places like Vegas it's all around you that kind of testosterone.' Ashley, who's originally from Phoenix, Arizona, says she is thankful to have settled down in Britain and after The Pussycat Dolls went their separate ways in 2010. Last year Ashley gushed that she was in a 'happy place' and said: 'It's really nice to be in a relationship that's kind and thoughtful and supportive and we have fun' (pictured 2024) George, who is 17 years Ashley's junior, is Ashley's first serious partner since her split from Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice in 2020 (pictured in April 2019) At the beginning of their relationship a source told MailOnline: 'Ashley and George are smitten with each other. 'They have chosen to keep their relationship private for now but gradually have started sharing snippets from their life together on social media. 'George is extremely successful in his own right, creating artwork for massive names and establishing himself in his craft from a young age. 'Ashley isn't at all bothered about their age difference... they have similar interests, and he has inspired her creatively, she hasn't felt this way in a long time.' Ashley's last public relationship was with Strictly professional Giovanni, 33, who is nine years her junior. Ashley's last public relationship was with Strictly professional Giovanni, 34, who is nine years her junior. The couple were together for over a year before splitting in 2020.

EXCLUSIVE Deborra-Lee Furness' shock 'betrayal' jab at Hugh Jackman as she breaks silence on divorce filing
Deborra-Lee Furness took a swipe at her estranged husband, Hugh Jackman, amid the flurry of rumors that he cheated on her with his current girlfriend Sutton Foster. Following her decision to officially file for divorce from the Deadpool & Wolverine star, 56, two years after announcing their separation, the Australian actress, 69, addressed her heartbreak in an exclusive statement to 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She continued, 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' 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. She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' that she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal,' adding, 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful.' Back in January, exclusively reported that the estranged spouses had yet to file as their decision to dismiss a prenup was proving to be a point of contention. Insiders at the time claimed that their split could get 'messy' as they were struggling to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune. 'One of the biggest reasons why they haven't yet filed is that they never had a prenup,' an insider close to Jackman said. 'When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn't? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh's career to get as enormous as it has. 'Because there was no prenup, and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be cut and dry. It may even get messy because the stakes are high. A lot of moving parts need to be worked out and there is a huge amount of money involved.' The insider insisted they both wanted to 'make this as easy as possible,' but that after three decades and one partner becoming a massive A-list star, 'it's not quite that easy.' In March, the divorce was brewing but they struggled to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets, a source revealed to 'Hugh and Deborra-Lee have not yet filed for divorce because they are struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets,' a source said. 'Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer.' Her insistence on getting a bigger chunk of their estimated fortune was said to be fueled by the murky origins of his romance with Foster. 'While he didn't physically cheat on her with Sutton, Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair and she feels he betrayed her,' the source continued. Their marriage started to fall apart during Covid, as previously reported by around the same time that Jackman struck up a friendship with Foster, his costar on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man. She was married to Ted Griffin at the time (Griffin and Foster are also in the midst of finalizing their divorce). Furness and Jackman announced the end of their marriage in a shock statement in September 2023, telling fans that they were 'shifting' and as a result had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth.' Soon followed rumblings that Jackman had struck up a relationship with Foster, with the pair finally confirming their romance in January in what fans claimed was a staged picture opportunity as they left a Los Angeles restaurant hand-in-hand. Furness and Jackman met back in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, when she was a major star, and he was enjoying his first role fresh out of drama school. He proposed four months later, telling Today in 2018 that he knew two weeks into meeting Furness that they were 'going to be together for the rest of our lives.' They were married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996 before adopting their son Oscar, now 24, in 2000. Five years later they completed their family unit when they adopted daughter Ava, 19. Since tying the knot, Jackman has amassed an eye watering fortune, estimated to be around $200 million, thanks to his turn as Wolverine in Marvel's blockbuster comic book franchise. He retired the role in Logan in 2017 before reprising the character - and hijacking the box office - last year with Deadpool and Wolverine alongside his close friend Ryan Reynolds. He's currently performing in an off-Broadway play, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, alongside Ella Beatty, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's daughter. The actor swears liberally, speaks graphically about sex and engages in multiple steamy make-out sessions with his 25-year-old co-star.
