Lizzie Cundy, 56, reveals how heartbreak from footballer ex made her feel 'lonely and isolated' as she opens up about the realities of being a WAG in the noughties
Lizzie Cundy has opened up about the realities of being a WAG in the noughties as she shared the 'lonely and isolating' reality of her split from her footballer ex. The TV star, 56, got married to the former Chelsea player Jason Cundy, 55, in 1994, after meeting at a nightclub in Richmond, London. Lizzie split from Jason in 2012 after discovering his affair with opera singer Hannah Pedley. Now, in a new BBC documentary titled Sex After Celebrity, Lizzie revealed the difficulties she faced with being in the public eye at the height of her fame. Reflecting on the period when her marriage split became public, she described it as the 'most awful time' in her life. She said: 'It was the most awful time when my marriage split up, not just because it was a marriage splitting up and family was being split up, it was because it was on the front page of the papers. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'There's a picture of me in a swimsuit, looking over my shoulder, and it was all about my marriage split, and I didn't even know about it myself. And it was the reaction of other people as well. 'Friends I knew didn't know what to say. The mums at school would cross the road from me because they were embarrassed. 'They didn't really know what to say. So it actually became quite a lonely existence.' She continued: 'And not knowing who to trust, actually doubting friends, thinking, "Could they have put that story in?" or, you know, "I only told that person, so how did it get in?" 'And quizzing and questioning people that you've known a lifetime. So that side was awful.' Following the breakdown of her high-profile marriage, Lizzie found it hard to go back into the dating pool. She explained: 'It's difficult when you've been in a very high-profile relationship and then go into dating, because you have a trust issue. I certainly did. 'And I've actually been on a date where we're sitting there and I've seen him push his phone, and I thought, "I think you're recording me." Reflecting on the period when her marriage split became public, she described it as the 'most awful time' in her life 'So I just said it out, "Is your phone on? Are you recording?" And he just went, "Yeah..."' Fast forward to present day, the beauty has found a new lease of life for dating, as she described it was 'great now'. She went on to date England rugby player Danny Cipriani and has since enjoyed some other relationships out of the public eye. The TV star said: 'I am loving dating. I do long-distance relationships, which is fantastic. 'So, you know, you can send little naughty pics and you just keep it fresh. They're not there all the time, getting on your nerves. 'You know, guys are good for different things. You know, I used to have one guy and I'd think, "Oh, if only he was a little bit more fun and wanted to go out at night". 'I've got guys, you know, one likes football, one likes going out for dinner, one makes me laugh, one's good in bed, you know? Got it all. 'So that's what... I'm free. I love it, and I've never been happier.' Sex After Celebrity is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Kaia Gerber Is a Dead Ringer for Cindy Crawford in Full Noughties Attire
Yeehaw! Kaia Gerber brought a touch of cowgirl flair to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour. The model joined actors Odessa A'Zion and Jordan Firstman for the Los Angeles stop on Bey's tour. While everyone and their mother is breaking out their Kemo Sabe-sponsored Westernwear, Gerber chose instead to tap into the noughties. She opted for an asymmetrical black ab-baring crop top, which she paired with low-slung flare jeans. (In keeping with the tour's cowboy theme, Gerber employed a thick brown leather belt to serve as her tie to the Wild West.) Kaia Gerber at the Beyoncé concert in Los Angeles.

While Gerber has always drawn comparisons to her mother, Cindy Crawford, the pair have never looked more alike. The look was reminiscent of one of Crawford's most recognizable model-off-duty outfits: a pair of blue Levi's with a thick brown belt, a black turtleneck, and a black Alaïa leather jacket. Now, in her own model-off-duty look, Kaia Gerber is offering her take on her mother's trademark noughties style.
