Ireland’s leading luxury event styling company Ten Four has combined forces with fashion rental trailblazers Happy Days, to open the ultimate 360-degree luxury wedding pop-up focusing on wedding event styling, wedding guest dressing, wedding stationery, jewellery, accessorising, and nutrition.

Together by Ten Four, Ireland’s premier wedding event stylists praised for their Pinterest board-worthy weddings and responsible for some of Ireland’s most lavish VIP weddings, including rugby star Ian Madigan and Anna Kirwan’s showstopping wedding in Gloster House last summer. Grace Collins and Aisling Casey, of Ten Four, brides-to-be themselves, will be on hand at the pop-up to showcase their impressive portfolio of events and to advise all brides-to-be in attendance ahead of their big day. Guests can avail of a complimentary one-on-one consultation with them and those that book a wedding package with Together by Ten Four at the pop-up will avail of a 10% discount.

Happy Days, Ireland’s most size-inclusive and brand-diverse fashion rental service will also be showcasing its exquisite collection of designer rental options at the pop-up, to inspire wedding guests to make more sustainable choices ahead of wedding season. Counting stylish VIPs such as Amy Huberman as supporters, guests will be able to try on the celebrity-adored designer collection at the pop-up and book in their favourite styles ahead of any key occasion dates in their diary.

Rachel Hennessy Founder of Happy Days comments “It is wonderful to see so many women making more sustainable choices when it comes to styling their special occasion looks, we find that women have a great tendency to only wear an item once if it is an occasion piece, so opting to rent for occasion is both a more financially sound and more sustainable option. We have also seen huge interest from expectant mothers who do not want to invest in designer pieces throughout pregnancy while their bodies are changing but still want something really special, unique and not typically maternity, to feel beautiful in. This will be our first central Dublin pop-up and we are so excited to be teaming up with Together by Ten Four who are complete experts in their field and will ensure it is the most aesthetically pleasing and luxury space for guests to enjoy!”

Malin Andersson has bravely opened up about her struggles with postnatal depression after she gave birth to her daughter Xaya. 

The former Love Island star gave birth to Xaya in February 2022 after the tragic death of her daughter Consy back in 2019.

Malin has now decided to speak to Giovanna Fletcher on her podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby about what she was going through at the time.

The former reality TV star explained she had depression while pregnant with Xaya after the loss of Consy and the death of her mum in 2017. “I was depressed, I didn’t want to leave bed. I got put on antidepressants. My mind was awful- intrusive thoughts, anxiety every day”.

“Even when she was born, it was such a beautiful feeling but I still didn’t feel peace in my heart because then I started to feel guilt for my other baby”.

After Xaya’s birth, Malin’s prenatal and postnatal depression became a ‘blur’ to her and she struggled with co-dependence. “I was just so depressed… it became one big blur”.

“It was me feeling anxious, stressed and crying randomly. Looking at Xaya, thinking ‘oh my god she’s beautiful and she’s mine but oh my god she might die tomorrow’”.

“‘Am I doing this right? Where’s my mum?’, Grieving over my mum. Not wanting to go out, or not wanting anybody to come and meet her, didn’t want to see anyone”.

Malin continued, “Wanting Jared [Xaya’s dad] to be there all the time, becoming very co-dependent”.

“Being too scared to be on my own, because I didn’t think I was capable enough to look after her, even though I was fully”.

Andersson also spoke about her struggles with breastfeeding and how that added to her postnatal depression. “Breastfeeding, and then it became too much for me after a week. I did 8 or 9 days, and then I just decided to stop”.

“There was a feeling of not being good enough because I didn’t breastfeed. There’s just so much involved in it, it was a collection of everything”.

Today marks 14 years of marriage for Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Hemming-Willis.

Although it is a day of celebration, Emma has also taken time to reflect on being a caregiver for her husband as his frontotemporal dementia progresses.

Sharing a photo of a gorgeous bouquet of flowers to her 765K Instagram followers as she talk about ‘acts of kindness’, Emma opened up about the difficulty of ‘special occasions’ when a loved one is not well.

The 44-year-old captioned the post, “Today marks 14 years of marriage to the greatest love of my life. I woke with my heart full but what my mind kept going back to was another persons act of kindness yesterday I wanted to share as it inspired the heck out of me”.

“In passing at a school event for our children, I mentioned to my friend that our anniversary was tomorrow. Cut to, I get a text from my friend later that day that said she left “a little something” for me at my door”.

Emma continued, “It was this sweet bouquet of flowers (pictured) with a note that said Happy Anniversary amongst other things”.

“It got me thinking about how hard these types of “special occasions” can be on caregivers. When usually our person would acknowledge the event, now their changing brains just can’t. And that is what it is”.

The Red 2 actress added, “So my point is this. If you know someone that is looking after someone else, don’t ask what you can do, just do. This random act of kindness will honestly stay with me for a long time”.

Bruce Willis was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 and in February of this year, the Die Hard’s family shared an update on his health to reveal his FTD diagnosis. They explained, “Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces”.

Emma and Bruce tied the knot in 2009 in the Turks and Caicos Islands and went on to have a civil ceremony in Beverly Hills.

Louise Thompson has been opening up about her hopes to have more children.

The former Made In Chelsea star gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named Leo, in November 2021. However, the labour resulted in life-threatening complications for Louise. She was later moved to intensive care and was diagnosed with PTSD.

For the last year, Louise has been extremely open with her audience about her recovery, and also how she feels about the prospect of having more children.

Earlier today, the reality star took to her Instagram stories to share a video update with her 1.4M followers. 

“I’m heading into central London to go and see my private obs gynae,” she explained from the back of a taxi. “I don't even know what we're going to see. I don't know what the appointment is, I don't think there’s going to be much to see.”

“I don't know whether there's going to be any resolution or answers,” she continued. “But it's just an informal check-up, post hysteroscopy and, to be honest, I'm going to be sharing some fertility updates and news shortly.”

In a later clip, Louise then revealed that she would be asking her doctor about the prospect of freezing her eggs. “It's kind of awkward, isn't it, talking about fertility and family planning. But, I have decided to freeze my eggs this year. So, I'm going to ask this guy for some advice,” she detailed.

Louise then went on to say that she would be keeping an open mind. “He might turn around and say that that's a terrible idea given everything that I've been through,” she admitted. 

“But, I do know that when I was in the hospital most recently, one of the ladies said to me that it would be pretty dangerous for me to fall pregnant naturally,” she recalled.

“I guess anything is possible in today's world with modern medicine, and I’m not going to be too disheartened,” Louise promised at the end of her video.

We’re wishing Louise well with her continued recovery.

It’s official – we have our first Love Island breakup from this year’s series.

Casey O’Gorman has confirmed that his relationship with Rosie Seabrook has come to an end.

Rumours had been rife in recent days that the couple had already called off their romance, especially when viewers commented that the Islanders looked uncomfortable together during Sunday night’s reunion episode.

Speculation was fueled even further when both Rosie and Casey posted on their social media accounts about the reunion episode on Sunday, but neither of them mentioned each other or shared a loved-up snap of them together.

Now, Casey has since taken to his Instagram stories to clear up the confusion.

During a Q&A, the 26-year-old was asked how things were going between himself and Rosie.

“Rosie and I have spoken… she’s such a great girl,” Casey wrote in response. 

“Life outside the villa is just very different and we will remain friends moving forward,” he added.

During Sunday night’s episode of Love Island: The Reunion, presenter Maya Jama asked Casey and Rosie how they were finding life outside of the villa. 

"We got back and said to each other that we're just gonna see family and friends for the week, it's all a bit overwhelming when you come back so that was the plan,” Casey replied.

"We've got a date on Tuesday, so we're looking forward to that,” he added at the time.

The two Islanders were coupled up on the ITV dating show for just 11 days, before they were sent home from the villa following an eviction vote.

Rosie has yet to comment on her situation with Casey.

Ronan Keating has finally spoken for the first time about becoming a grandad!

Ronan’s eldest son Jack announced earlier this month that he had welcomed his first child into the world. The former Love Island star is now a dad to a beautiful baby girl, whose name has yet to be confirmed.

When Jack initially announced the joyful news on social media, dad Ronan commented with a simple message: “Little Cutie”, followed by a heart emoji.

Since then, the former Boyzone singer has refrained from speaking publicly about his family’s new addition – until now!

During last night’s edition of The One Show, which Ronan frequently co-hosts, the 46-year-old was asked by fellow presenter Jermaine Jenas about his first grandchild.

"Well said grandad,” Jermaine greeted teasingly. “You’re a grandad now!”

“Yes I am,” Ronan replied ecstatically, confirming the happy news. “My son had a gorgeous baby, and Storm and I are grandparents.”

Ronan then went on to reveal which nickname he has chosen his new granddaughter to call him.

"You prefer to be called something else?" Jermaine questioned.

"Pops. We’ll go with that," Ronan beamed in response.

Fans of Love Island bombshell Jack were shocked when he revealed on March 9 that he was now a father to a baby girl. The arrival of his first child came just eight months after Jack entered the Casa Amor villa to appear on the ITV dating show.

“Welcome to the world my little [princess emoji],” the 24-year-old wrote at the time. 

Jack’s mum and Ronan’s ex-wife Yvonne Connolly also showcased her joy for her granddaughter’s arrival, by writing: “I miss her so much already”.

Since the birth of his baby girl, Jack has since confirmed that he and the child’s mother are not in a relationship. 

“Her mother and I have decided to keep her identity private for now and we ask everyone to please respect our privacy at this time,” he noted in a statement to The Sun.

"My daughter's mother and I are not together, however we look forward to co-parenting and giving our little girl the best support system that she needs,” Jack added.

The Succession family is growing!

Sarah Snook has revealed that she is expecting her first child with her husband Dave Lawson.

The Australian actress, who is best known for playing the role of Siobhan ‘Shiv’ Roy in the hit HBO series, confirmed the wonderful news last night when she attended the premiere for the final season of Succession.

The premiere was held in New York City, and Sarah decided to wear a flattering black dress with a silver jacket to accentuate her growing baby bump.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, the 35-year-old couldn’t hide her delight to finally reveal her lovely news.

"It's exciting!" Sarah beamed. "I feel great."

The actress also explained that she is currently in the third trimester of her pregnancy, admitting that she doesn’t have “too much longer” to wait before she becomes a mum for the first time. "Like two months? Well, I'm at 32 weeks,” she noted.

Sarah also shared that she was pregnant during the filming period for Succession’s fourth and final season, but that there was very little concern for her bump as it was not visible at the time.

"I mean, you couldn't super tell," she laughed. "Because it's not super big, at least at the moment."

Sarah and Australian comedian Dave tend to keep their relationship quite private from the public eye, particularly as the pair do not use social media. 

The couple first began to date during the Covid pandemic, after knowing each other for several years. 

In an interview with Vogue Australia in October 2021, Sarah confirmed that she and Dave had since tied the knot in a low-key ceremony.

"At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates and we fell in love," she recalled.

"We've been friends since 2014, lived together, traveled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic. We've just never been single at the same time. I proposed and we got married in February in my backyard,” she added.

Congratulations to Sarah and Dave on their baby news!

Artists Equity Greenlights Irish feature film adaptation of Claire Keegan’s acclaimed novel ‘Small Things Like These’, produced by and starring Cillian Murphy

Ciarán Hinds and Emily Watson Co-Star. Principal photography began in Ireland on March 2, 2023

Artists Equity, the artist-led studio founded by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, announced today that production has begun on the feature film adaptation of Claire Keegan’s acclaimed novel, ‘Small Things Like These’. Artists Equity will finance the project which began principal photography on March 2, 2023, shooting in Ireland’s Wexford, Dublin, and Wicklow.

Said Murphy, “I’m honoured and thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Claire Keegan’s magnificent novel to the screen. We have gathered together a phenomenal team of creatives to make this film, and found exceptional partners in AE, a studio led by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck — actors and filmmakers I have admired for many years.”

The project reunites director Tim Mielants (WILL, THE RESPONDER, PATRICK, and PEAKY BLINDERS) and Cillian Murphy (OPPENHEIMER, A QUIET PLACE PART II), who previously worked together on the BAFTA Award-winning series PEAKY BLINDERS. Emily Watson (BREAKING THE WAVES, GODS CREATURES) and Ciarán Hinds (BELFAST, MUNICH) will also star. Acclaimed Irish playwright and screenwriter Enda Walsh, a longtime collaborator of Murphy’s, wrote the script. Murphy and producer Alan Moloney commissioned the screenplay from Walsh having optioned the rights last year and will produce through their production company Big Things Films. For Artists Equity, Matt Damon and Drew Vinton will produce, and Ben Affleck, Kevin Halloran, and Michael Joe will executive produce. Jeff Robinov will also produce. The film is an Irish production with additional funding coming from Screen Ireland and will be co-produced with Wilder Films in Belgium.

Claire Keegan
 

‘Small Things Like These’ takes place over Christmas in 1985, when devoted father Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers the startling secrets being kept by the convent in his town, and some shocking truths about his own life, as well.

‘Small Things Like These’ was published in 2021 by Grove Press and quickly went on to critical acclaim, having been shortlisted on the 2022 Booker Prize and the Rathbones Folio Prize. ‘Small Things Like These’ also won the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction, the Ambassadors’ Prize for best Irish novel published in France, and The Kerry Prize for Irish Novel of the year. It is now nominated for the Dublin Literary Award which is presented annually for the best novel in the world written or translated into English. This year, the adaptation of Keegan’s previous novel ‘Foster’ marks Ireland's first international film nomination (and the first time an Irish-language film has been nominated for an Academy Award). Her additional works have won numerous awards and are translated into more than thirty languages. ‘Antarctica’ won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. ‘Walk the Blue Fields’ won the Edge Hill Prize for the finest collection of stories published in the British Isles. Foster, after winning the Davy Byrnes Award — then the world’s richest prize for a story — was chosen by The Times as one of the top 50 works to be published in the 21st Century. It is now part of the school syllabus in Ireland.
