In an interview with V Magazine, Dylan and Barbara opened up about their relationship for the first time since their engagement.

“We’ve been dating for five years, officially, but we actually met like eight months before at an event. That was just a short interaction and then I ghosted him for six months until I got myself back into the picture,” the 29-year-old model joked.

Dylan went on to explain the reason why he and Barbara are a perfect match. “Our sense of humor is aligned, and we don’t take ourselves very seriously, which I think is good,” the 30-year-old gushed.

It has also been revealed that the new parents have chosen to name their son Roman, which is often translated to mean “strong” and “powerful”.

Al’s representative initially confirmed the news of Noor’s pregnancy last month, on May 30. At the time, fans were surprised to learn that the couple had managed to keep their exciting news a secret for the majority of the 29-year-old’s pregnancy.

Noor was already eight months pregnant at the time of their announcement, but the gender of their little one was still unknown.

Al and Noor have been romantically linked since April of last year. The couple first sparked relationship rumours when they were spotted out for dinner together. Multiple sources have previously spoken to Page Six about the couple’s private relationship, stating that they first began to date during the Covid pandemic.

Before she met Al, Noor was previously in a relationship with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

Al became a dad for the first time in October 1989, after his ex-girlfriend Jan Tarrant gave birth to a baby girl named Julie Marie (33).

Then, in January 2001, The Godfather actor grew his family once more when he welcomed twins Anton and Olivia (22) into the world with his former partner Beverly D'Angelo. Al and Beverly were in a relationship from 1997 to 2003.

Congratulations to Al and Noor on the birth of their son!

Liam Reardon has broken his silence on rumours surrounding his relationship with Millie Court.

The pair found love during the 2021 series of Love Island, and subsequently won the £50,000 winners' prize.

Fans of Millie and Liam were saddened last July when they confirmed that they were no longer together, almost one year after they won the hit series.

However, speculation has arisen in recent months that the stars have rekindled their romance, after being spotted on holiday together. Rumours have also been circulating that Liam previously cheated on Millie.

Now, Liam has taken the opportunity to address the ongoing speculation.

In an interview with MailOnline, the 23-year-old was asked about his relationship with Millie.

“There are a lot of rumours going around about me and Millie being back together… we are very good friends, we are very close friends… and we have been that way since the day we met,” he insisted.

“People can make their own assumptions and that's up to them, but I will leave you with the fact that we're really good friends. We are friends for now,” he teased.

“If we were ever to get back together in the future, then yes potentially we will share it with our fans, we will have to see,” he added.

Liam then went on to confront speculation about the reason behind their initial breakup.

“Myself and Millie faced a lot of criticism, especially myself, when we broke up certain things came out about me cheating, which was obviously not true. I have never cheated,” he stated.

“If people have something in their heads… you can't try and tell them otherwise, you just have to leave them to think what they think,” he admitted.

The reality star also confessed that being a "normal couple" was a struggle for him after Love Island. 

“Dating in the public, in restaurants, or walking in the park is not easy because people know you and take photos. If you want to keep things private it is quite difficult,” he concluded.

Kourtney and Kim Kardashian haven’t been on the best of terms recently!

The sisters, who are two of the stars of the hit reality show The Kardashians, have become embroiled in an argument over their connections to fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana.

During this week’s brand-new episode of The Kardashians, younger sister Kendall Jenner went to visit Kourtney, who then explained that Kim had struck up a deal with the luxury brand, a few months after Dolce & Gabbana designed Kourtney’s lavish wedding in Italy.

“This isn't really even about business for me. It's just like this like was my wedding and actually how I've lived my life every summer for like five years in a row,” the 44-year-old explained to Kendall.

Kourtney went on to explain that during her nuptials, Kim was attempting to secure her brand partnership. “Kim was having these conversations with Dolce that I didn't know about. She had called me and told me she was doing a SKIMS collab with Dolce & Gabbana, just telling me,” she recalled.

“I go, ‘What is the point of this call? Is it to get my blessing, is that why you're calling?’ And she's like, 'I guess,' cause she wasn't like, 'Hey, I got this offer. How do you feel about this? I really want the money,'” Kourtney detailed.

“And then she called me I think another time, she was like, 'Hey I just want to see if you want to go to Milan for my Dolce thing. It's not with SKIMS anymore but we're trying to figure it out,' and that was the last I heard about it,” she admitted.

With sister Kendall responding that she could “see both sides,” Kourtney began to tear up.

“It's not about business. It's just there's so much and it takes precedence over hurting your sister. It's just legit copying my wedding!” she exclaimed.

The sisters also claimed that Kim “wasn’t happy” during Kourtney’s wedding to Travis Barker. “Everyone else was like, 'Whoa this is amazing. We're having the best time.' She can never give acknowledgment of, like, 'Whoa this is so amazing. I love this whole vibe,’” Kourtney argued.

Season 3 of The Kardashians is available to stream on Disney+.
