Inhoudsopgave van Issue 857 - Closer

When Gwyneth Paltrow split from Chris Martin, she gave the world the concept of “Conscious Uncoupling”. And now she’s at it again, revealing that the secret of her marriage to husband Brad Falchuk is spending only four days of the week with him. The rest of the time he lives nearby with his kids while she, presumably, relishes some quiet time steaming her nether regions. But it’s not just millionaire celebs who choose to remain apart together. On page 40, we’ve spoken to a wife who shares three children with her husband, but the couple live in separate flats – and they say it works brilliantly for them. This week we’ve also been looking at the increasing number of women actively choosing to become single parents. It all goes to…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY SAYS, “Gemma and Arg are stuck in a toxic cycle of breaking up and getting back together. Those who suffer from low self-esteem, abandonment issues or deep insecurities are more prone to on/off relationships. They’re both quite unhappy people, though together they feel safe. But they end up projecting their own discontentment with themselves into the relationship. They reconcile, because ultimately they are co-dependent – but they need to separate for good. Arg has admitted to being ‘gutted’ about his recent weight gain. He certainly isn’t the best version of himself with Gemma. They need therapy to sort out their individual issues – or their romance is destined to fail.”…

They celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary last week, posting gushing tributes to each other on Instagram. Coleen Rooney also referenced their “ups and downs”, following a string of recent scandals, including Wayne’s drunken arrest and reports of partying with a barmaid in Florida earlier this year, while former escorts Jenny Thompson and Helen Wood wage war over their differing accounts of their threesome with the footballer back in 2010. HIGHS AND LOWS Sharing a sweet snap of herself alongside her 33-year-old husband – with whom she shares sons, Kai, nine, Klay, five, Kit, three and one-year-old Cass – Coleen, also 33, said, “It’s been a journey… Ups and downs, highs and lows… but you know what… I love you.” And insiders tell Closer how the DC United player went all-out…

She revealed she’d undergone a non-surgical facelift (which uses a microcurrent to stimulate, lift and re-educate the muscles, creating a natural “lift”) in January, to keep her skin looking youthful. But last week, Denise Van Outen, 44, ignited suspicion she’d had some additional tweaks. After her appearance on Lorraine , one fan commented, “She looks awful… teeth and lips done.” And another added, “She needs to lay off the fillers! Her top lip looks way off!” Surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe tells Closer , “Denise looks drastically different in the before and after photos. Her face appears puffier, which could be the result of filler in her cheek. She appeared to have had lip fillers, too.” Opening up about surgery earlier this year, Denise insisted she had no intention of going under…

Mel Johnson, 40, from Manchester had her daughter, Daisy, 16 months, via sperm donor. Mel says, “I went on blind dates and was signed up to dating websites, but I knew I couldn’t keep waiting to fall in love to start a family. So, aged 36, I started researching how to have a baby by myself. There was a part of me that felt like a failure – I wasn’t going to live out the fairy tale of falling in love and having children. But when I told my Mum my plans she was so supportive, as were the rest of my family and friends.” “In November 2016, I contacted the Manchester Fertility Clinic, who told me that IVF using a sperm donor had the highest success rate. Picking a…

‘I regret things that I’ve done on television’ She’s found love again with boyfriend Ercan Ramadan, and regularly shares loved-up pictures of the pair together on exotic holidays. But last November it was a different story for Vicky Pattison, after her then-fiancé John Noble was filmed getting close to a girl in a Dubai nightclub. She called off their engagement, and admitted later to “crumbling inside”. Although Vicky hasn’t spoken openly about Ercan, she said recently, “I’m having fun, I’m smiling again. But she admits she had a habit of going for bad boys in the past. SUPERFICIAL “I don’t have very good luck,” says Vicky. “I pick the worst guys. I will hold my hands up and say I’ve got terrible taste. “I go for superficial – it’s a…

She recently confirmed the end of her 11-year marriage to ad executive Brian Monet – and, posting a screenshot of her decree absolute on Instagram last week, Ulrika, 51, told followers, “You know when you’ve waited for something for so long but it still catches your breath and your eyes sting with tears when it finally arrives... Overwhelming relief really. Because now I’m free to marry again!!! (very jokes and lols OBVS).” Opening up about the split last month, mum-of-four Ulrika admitted she’d made love with her husband just once in eight years, saying “I was living in a sexless marriage for nearly a decade.”…

Gwyneth Paltrow shocked fans when she admitted last week that she doesn’t live with her husband, director Brad Falchuk, full-time. The 46-year-old, who shares children Apple, 14, and Moses, 13, with ex-husband Chris Martin, explained that she spends just four days a week with Brad, 48, whom she married in a lavish ceremony last September. The rest of the time, Brad lives nearby with his own children from his first marriage. Gwyneth added that her “intimacy teacher” approves, believing the unconventional set-up gives the couple “polarity.” The actress also said, “All my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal.” Gwyneth isn’t alone. Actress Helena Bonham Carter and director Tim Burton lived in separate houses before breaking up in 2013. And ’80s pop star Toyah Willcox said the…

Most of us are starting to think about digging out our summer wardrobes. But if the thought of getting back into your shorts or swimwear is filling you with dread, you needn’t worry. Thanks to our no-fad diet plan, you can drop a full dress size in just four weeks! And there’s no missing out on delicious summery meals with our range of breakfast, lunch and dinner options – you can even have barbecue food, chips and dips and wine! “Depriving ourselves of the foods we really love is a recipe for dieting disaster,” says Closer nutritionist Juliette Kellow, who has devised this plan. “It means we start to crave them and, sooner or later, we end up giving into temptation, then give up our diet altogether. This plan not…

Try these alternatives if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet MEAT, CHICKEN AND FISH Replace these with Quorn, tofu, meat-free mince or other plant-based alternatives such as veggie burgers, fillets or steaks. MILK, CHEESE AND YOGHURT If you don’t do dairy, opt for plant-based alternatives such as soya or almond milk or dairy-free yoghurt (make sure they’re unsweetened and fortified with calcium and vitamin B12). There are plenty of vegan cheeses to choose from, too. EGGS Replace eggs with beans such as kidney, borlotti or black-eyes peas. Chickpeas and lentils are also great choices. HONEY For vegan diets, swap honey for maple or agave syrup.…

‘ WE MUST CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE TO BOOZE’ A global poll found that Brits binge-drink more than any other nation, Dr C says we must learn to enjoy alcohol sensibly Brits binge-drink on average once a week. It’s part of our culture, and it needs to change – we need to realise that being drunk is embarrassing! GET TIPSY NOT DRUNK Responding to a recent report that compared global alcohol intakes, Adam Winstock, an addiction specialist, said that Brits don’t seem to know the difference between being intoxicated and just drinking within safe limits, I agree. I don’t think that there is ‘no safe limit’ when it comes to alcohol, but tolerance varies from person to person. We all know someone who can drink a lot and is fine, and…

In a world where singles are at risk of being catfished, it won’t come as a surprise that new research has found that the more honest you are in your dating app profile, the more likely you are to go on a date. But what did raise an eyebrow was the type of revelations singles were making… Dating app Badoo has found users who reveal the most information about themselves – such as living with their parents and being a heavy drinker – are more popular than those who don’t. I find dating apps scarily shallow including just a few pictures, then your name, age and location. But thanks to apps like Hinge setting the trend, its competitors are now encouraging singles to share more about themselves. Perhaps it’s not…

Ninja Warrior UK presenter Chris Kamara – whose nickname is Kammy – says he’s essentially “playing himself” in his Emmerdale cameo, explaining, “I’m myself, not a character, but hopefully that’ll be the next thing along the line!” The Soccer Saturday pundit, who took his family along for filming, adds, “I watch Emmerdale with my wife and my son – in fact, my son is a massive Emmerdale fan, so if I was coming down, they had to come too. It was a great day and I loved it!” Emmerdale bosses promise his arrival will ruffle a few feathers……

What can you tell us about the crime that Paris committed? At the age of 13, Paris Bennett stabbed his little sister Ella to death. This wasn’t an impulsive fit of rage, but a deliberate act he had planned. He did it just to punish his mother. Knowing he would go to prison and she would lose both her kids, he punished his mother in one go. What he did was a despicable act of evil. What was he like? I had an hour with him. Prior to that, his mother Charity told me he would be “Nice, personable and polite”. In my opinion, if you were scripting a movie about a young psychopath, you would choose somebody like Paris. He is highly intelligent; he has an IQ level of…

MUST READ Death and Other Happy Endings (MELANIE CANTOR) Jennifer has just three months to live and, rather than pursuing a bucket list, she chooses to write letters to three significant people in her life: her selfish sister, her cheating ex-husband, and her unreliable ex-boyfriend.

It was just over a year ago that Jordan and Kieran Hayler finally called time on their tumultuous four-year marriage, during which it emerged he’d repeatedly been unfaithful. Scandal first erupted in 2014 when Jordan revealed he’d cheated with her two best friends Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas, and he was at it again in 2017 when it was claimed he’d cheated with their nanny, Nikki Brown – something she later confirmed. RESTRAINING ORDER At the time, Jordan claimed former stripper Kieran, 32, was a sex addict for which he was having treatment, though in an interview published last week he revealed he’d never cheat on his current girlfriend, Michelle Pentecost, saying, “There must have been reasons why I did it [cheated on Jordan]. There’s not a chance in hell…

‘Plus-size mannequins will stop bigger people being judged’ There was a lot of controversy last week over Nike’s new plus-size mannequins. While some dubbed them “inspirational”, others believe they’re “dangerous for promoting obesity”. I think the mannequins are a positive step towards inclusivity, and banishing the stigma around overweight people. We are all different shapes and sizes – someone can be healthy at a bigger size or at a smaller size. But do you think those who are a bit bigger are going to get healthier if they are ridiculed and judged? Often people are unhealthy because of mental health issues, and criticising them is certainly not going to help. I remember being a model in my late 20s and being told I had too much of a belly and…

Annie Barter, 20, from Essex, is a single mum to 10-month-old Anela. Annie says, “For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a mum. I was the first to volunteer to babysit the neighbours’ children, and, aged 17, I started working at a nursery’. “Then, when I was 18, I had a miscarriage. I didn’t even realise I was pregnant and I was heartbroken. I knew then that I didn’t want to waste any more time. I wasn’t in a relationship, so I started looking at ways to have a child by myself. I’d watched TV shows where the characters had gone through IVF or had sperm donors, so I knew a little about it. But after researching, I learned that the NHS only helped women in…

With her striking looks, honed body and impressive career, it’s hard to believe Jessie J could ever have lacked confidence, especially as she’s taken one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, Channing Tatum, off the market. But the 31-year-old chart-topping singer has previously spoken about her teenage struggle with self-esteem, and the impact that school bullying had on her life. EMPOWERING ADVICE These days she shares inspirational posts on social media about depression and anxiety, encouraging young people to open up. And the star – who returns to our screens as a mentor on The Voice Kids – says she has some empowering advice she’d like to give to her younger self, if she could go back in time. She tells us, “The first thing that comes to mind is, ‘You’re…

Hollie Smith, 33, lives in Croydon with her son, Riley, six. She owns a party supplies business with her husband Colin, 41, who lives 10 minutes down the road with his children Colin, 11, and Lewis, nine, from a previous relationship. Hollie says, “When I saw Gwyneth Paltrow’s comments about living apart from her husband, I smiled, because I couldn’t agree more – it’s great for your relationship. My husband Colin and I live in our own flats with our children, and it couldn’t be better. “I split from Riley’s dad when he was three. In September 2016, I met Colin through a dating app. A month after we first chatted, we met up and it was love at first sight. He was raising his two boys alone, and he…

She’s previously told Closer she’s “always been a fan” of Jordan, aka Katie Price. And now Luisa has sprung to the defence of the former glamour model, sympathising with her recent run of “bad luck”. She says, “I always loved Katie Price, growing up. She was someone I looked up to and admired. She’s feisty, like me, and she says it how it is, which is rare. We both love horses and horse-riding, too. “When I came into the showbiz industry, I got to know her, and she is a lovely person. Over the years she’s been dealt a really bad hand. She’s had a lot of bad luck – I wouldn’t wish what happened to her and her ex-husband Kieran [Hayler, who cheated on her multiple times] on my…

Gently cradling her baby bump on Closer’s exclusive photo shoot, Hayley Tamaddon is positively glowing. The actress, 42, recently announced she is expecting her first child with fiancé Adrian and, after years of believing she couldn’t conceive, she admits to pinching herself every day over her “miracle” pregnancy. Hayley – who’s due in October – says, “The fact I’m 42 and having a baby is absolutely incredible. For so long I thought I couldn’t have children, it just never happened. Now that it has, everything feels natural and so right. We’re expecting a boy, which is amazing and I’ve never been happier.” The former Emmerdale and Coronation Street star has been open about her desire to become a mum, but before falling pregnant she convinced herself it was not to…

Fake sunglasses with counterfeit trademarks, brands, emblems and bogus labels are dangerous, as they won’t necessarily block UV light from your eyes. Look for a CE mark, which proves they comply with European quality standards. Lens colour doesn’t influence UV protection, so you don’t need to go dark to be protected. Sunglasses that sit comfortably, close to your face are best, as no light can sneak in, and remember that UV rays can still damage your eyes when it’s cloudy, so wear them all summer long!…

WHAT I’M MOST PROUD OF IS... when someone says I’ve inspired them to go for a walk. I bang on about the benefits of being in green spaces or listening to birdsong but it’s wonderful when someone does it and feels that joy themselves. I FEAR... ill health. I’m rubbish at being poorly. Even having a cold makes me frustrated, so I do everything I can to keep myself healthy. I listen to my body and I spend a lot of time outside – it makes a huge difference to my mental wellbeing. THE BRAVEST THING I’VE DONE IS... Travelling to Africa on my own aged 19. I even abseiled into a live volcano. I CAN’T BEAR... people who throw rubbish out of their cars or leave stuff on beaches…

1 BEECHAM HOUSE INDIAN SUMMER SUN 23 / MON 24 JUNE, 9PM, ITV ITV’s excellent new period drama, set in Delhi in 1795, is the story of the mysterious John Beecham (Murder On The Orient Express’ Tom Bateman) and his family. The Indian servants of a lavish mansion are preparing for the arrival of their new master when Beecham strides in with no wife, but two local women and a mystery baby. His arrival immediately provokes interest, and it’s not long before Bateman gets invited to a party where – love interest alert! – he meets governess Margaret Osbourne (Endeavour’s Dakota Blue Richards). Shortly afterwards, John’s bossy mother Henrietta arrives from London – hello, Downton Abbey’s Mrs Patmore – with her own plans for John’s love life… 2 MODERN FAMILY…

They’re arguably the most on/off reality TV couple of all time, but just two months after their latest split, Gemma Collins and James “Arg” Argent appeared to be back on again, as they were snapped on holiday together in Sicily last week. The reunion is the latest in a long line of make-ups and break-ups between the pair – who first got romantically involved in 2012 after meeting on TOWIE – and fans have seen Gemma, 38, repeatedly break down over each of their splits. Shockingly, in February they briefly ended their romance after Arg, 31, called her a “fat, horrible lump” in a series of abusive text messages, before reuniting only to split again in April, reportedly over a heated row about his weight. HEARTACHE Amid all the drama,…

Their turbulent on/off 11-year romance once gripped TOWIE viewers, with the childhood sweethearts declaring each other the loves of their lives and planning a dream wedding following their 2011 engagement. But since their bitter split just months later, relations between Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger have notoriously remained frosty – with the pair enduring a number of public spats. And last week, insiders reported that ITV crew members “were left scrambling” to keep the exes apart backstage after both were booked on shows at the London studios with Mark, 32, appearing on Loose Women shortly after Lauren’s stint on This Morning. ‘ IT HURTS HER SHE CAN’T EVEN SAY HELLO TO SOMEONE SHE WAS ONCE SO CLOSE TO’ A source says, “Lauren was shocked that everyone seemed to be going…

She’s been open and honest about her surgery transformation, admitting she had her first procedure done at just 17 years old – getting her ears pinned back. But last week, Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson showed off a noticeably fuller pout. leading fans to speculate she’s had more surgery since leaving the villa. One fan wrote, “She looks so different now, what has she done to her face?!”, while another added, “She was so pretty. She’s had so much filler in her lips.” While some reality stars mask their surgery past, Megan was forced to set the record straight when an old photo of her surfaced during her time in the villa last summer. Speaking recently, the 25-year-old said, “I had procedures done solely for me, and my first was…

The number of single women seeking sperm donors is on the rise. In 2007, there were only 351 IVF cycles in Britain for single women. The latest statistics show that number rose to 1,290 in 2017. When including those who were inseminated with donor sperm but didn’t have full IVF, the figure soars to 2,279. FERTILITY TREATMENTS Experts say the rise reflects society’s changing attitudes towards women. Jessica Hepburn, founder of Fertility Fest, says, “These days, women are encouraged to go to university and establish their careers before having children. By the time they’re ready to settle down, their fertility is already declining, and they might not have met the right person to start a family with. Thanks to increased availability of fertility treatments, more women are deciding to become…

SHERIF: ‘There wasn’t anything that appealed to me about Love Island’ Amid the scandal that erupted last week, Sherif Lanre released a statement saying he regrets not conducting himself “in the right way”, and vowing to learn from the experience. But even ahead of his time in the villa, the 20-year-old ex-Islander had appeared nervous and overwhelmed by what was to come, revealing to Closer that he “hadn’t had time to get his head around things”. He said, “I was scouted no more than three weeks ago, I literally [had] no time to think about it. I went straight into the shoots, straight into filming. I was working close to the ITV studio, I was going to get lunch and I just turned round and one of the execs was…

KRISTINA’S SECRET HOPE THAT BEN WILL PROPOSE TO HER After she insisted last week that a wedding with partner Ben Cohen wouldn’t happen for a “couple of years”, Kristina Rihanoff said they were focusing on family instead. The 40-year old revealed, “[Marriage] will probably be in a couple of years. Hopefully we’ll gather the family round and it’ll happen.” But insiders tell Closer that the former Strictly star – who welcomed their daughter Mia in 2016 – is secretly eager for a proposal to cement their relationship. A source reveals, “Kristina doesn’t want to put pressure on Ben, but she’s a traditional woman and would love to be married. She’s been through a lot with him and they have a child together, so she feels it would be the perfect…

Emma Daltrey, 33, runs Goatacre Animal Sanctuary in Wiltshire with her husband David, and knows first-hand just how brutal the goat dairy industry can be. She says, “We’ve run our sanctuary for the past four years and when we recently heard about a dairy farm closing down – they’d lost their contract with a big supplier and so they intended to kill all the animals – we knew we needed to do something. Between us and several other sanctuaries, we rescued 92 goats, who would otherwise have been killed. “We took in 20 kids, aged from one day to two weeks. They were filthy, with chronic diarrhoea and a parasite that was eating away at their gut lining. It can be fatal, but thankfully we could treat them. The fact…

HEALTHY EATING: “I’ve been vegan for two years now. I recently cut out all sugar... Some would call that an adventure, some would call it torture. I’m in the process of feeling both at the moment. However, feeling healthy makes you look good and be at your best.” FITNESS: “For me, fitness is from the inside out. I’m not obsessed with exercising every day, but I do enjoy working out – whether it’s cycling, running or weight-training, which is my favourite thing. I’m naturally quite slim, so weight training, which I started in the last two years, has helped me gain shape.” SELF IMAGE: “I don’t think I’m classically pretty – I think I’m unusual-looking. It’s taken me a long time to feel confident in my body. I had to…

Closer’s psychological therapist Emma Kenny says, “I can see why, for some couples, living in separate homes works for them. One benefit is that some distance can keep relationships new and exciting. “Also, partners don’t have to commit to each other’s bad habits. And living separately allows people to create space and time for themselves, which is healthy for any relationship. “But to make living apart work, you must really be able to trust your other half – the distance between you gives the other person in the relationship a chance to consider other options. It’s much easier to meet someone else when you’re not spending all your time in a couple. “Obviously there’s no guaranteed way to make a relationship work, but cohabiting is about sharing your life –…

ALL ABOUT YOU DEAL WITH BODY- CONFIDENCE ISSUES Women are missing out on summer fun thanks to image hang-ups. Here’s Emma’s advice to help us love ourselves According to new research by Boots, 76 per cent of UK women have skipped summer outings such as beach trips thanks to self-consciousness. It’s common to assume that other people disapprove of our bodies, so we withdraw. But most of us – fat, thin, tall, short, young and old – experience similar anxiety or are too busy getting on with life to be critically appraising anyone else’s appearance. A great first step to feeling comfortable in your skin is wearing less at home. Next, wear summer clothes in the garden, then for a five-minute walk round the block. Stepping out of your comfort…
