They’ve been frequently spotted basking in their globetrotting, whirlwind romance, and it seems Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz are eager to keep things moving, after Zoe was spotted wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring during an extended romantic vacation in Italy last month. The former One Direction singer, 31, and his Big Little Lies actress girlfriend, 37, were seen looking very loved-up as they wandered through the cobbled streets of Eternal City Rome, before ducking into a luxury jewellery store known for their wedding rings. The couple then sent onlookers wild as an elated-looking Zoe left with a gold band, which she had placed peculiarly on her wedding finger! The sighting comes just months after the couple first debuted their romance in Italy last August.…

But recently a new name has been thrown into the mix – Karley Scott Collins. According to country music insiders both Keith, 58, and Karley, who has been touring with Keith for months, attended the Country Music Awards in November but stayed suspiciously far away from one another. Earlier this year Karley, 26, gushed about working with Keith on his High And Alive tour. “It’s amazing being on the road with Keith,” she said. “He’s an incredible entertainer, and I respect him so much… and I’ve learned a lot watching him.” In a series of photos posted on Instagram in…

When Sarah and George Bragias appeared on The Block in 2020, they were child-free, active and appeared to be healthy. But it was after their first son Leo was born in 2022 that sleep deprivation and exhaustion took a toll on both of them. In hindsight, Sarah is “absolutely certain” it was “postpartum anxiety or depression, just undiagnosed”. “It took months for me to realise that that was the case. I got stuck in a spiral,” she told The Check Up, Woman’s Day’s podcast. Meanwhile, George was struggling with both his physical and mental health too. “I’d sleep for nine hours and still wake up exhausted. I was suffering from anxiety too – I couldn’t get on a train, I felt claustrophobic and panicked.” The pair have since undergone a…

It’s the first time Guy Ritchie and Madonna have been in the same room since their bitter divorce in 2008. And while they gathered to support their son Rocco’s new art exhibition, sources say that their truce had more to do with 67-year-old Madge’s brush with death in 2023. “Her coming back from a coma gave everyone perspective, especially Madonna. She’s enjoying playing nice with Guy and seeing the joy on Rocco’s face is more than enough to keep going,” spills our insider. “Her son is thriving without having to worry about his parents – and while she’ll never forgive Guy for taking away her boy, she loves her son and the man he’s turning into.”…
