Disney Plus has announced that they’ve teamed up with Ed Sheeran to share an intimate look into his personal life with a four-part docu-series. 

Ed shared the trailer for the documentary to his 42.7M Instagram followers, revealing that the documentary will show an insight into Sheeran’s life that he has always kept very private and out of the media. 

The trailer starts off with snippets of the Shape of You singer as a young child, before showing glimpses of him busking, to him selling out stadiums worldwide.

His wife Cherry is also featured and footage from when she was previously expecting was included in the video. “Everything in my life got so much better when Cherry got into it”, he sweetly says over the clip before he cradles her baby bump.

The documentary will follow Ed’s rise to success over the years and will touch on his family life with his wife, Cherry, and their daughter’s Lyra and Jupiter. It will also show Ed dealing with the loss of his best friend Jamal Edwards- all of which were inspirations for his latest album Subtract.

The 32-year-old opened up about why he decided to share this look into his life in the caption of the post, writing, “I’ve always been guarded of my personal life; the only documentary I’ve ever made has been one that focused on my songwriting”.

“Disney approached me to make a four-part documentary on the making of my next album Subtract. Initially the documentary was just that, a documentary on the formation of an album”.

The Perfect singer continued, “But, as my life took a few twists and turns, the subject matter of the album changed, and so did the documentary. It became something completely different to what I thought it would be”.

“I wanted to provide context to the album as it touches on very personal things, that we all experience. I knew if I made a documentary, I would want to put my trust in the hands of the director, so it wouldn’t be sculpted by me, and was actually an accurate reflection of who I am, even if it’s uncomfortable to watch”.

Disney revealed Ed’s docu-series, The Sum Of It All, will be released on Disney Plus on May 3.

Billie Faiers has opened up about how her young children have been adjusting to life with a newborn after she welcomed her newest addition, Margot, into the world in December.

The former The Only Way is Essex star spoke about how her youngest son, six-year-old Arthur, found it hard when his baby sister arrived. 

Speaking to OK!, Billie explained her son felt ‘overprotective’ of his sister but also ‘pushed out’ as he was no longer the baby of the family. 

“He’s definitely settled down. I think what it was in those early days, you’ve got this tiny little newborn, they’re so fragile and there was so much illness around the time she was born, I felt so protective over her”.

“Because I was a bit like, ‘Oh, careful!’, it made him go the opposite way. He was so full on with her”.

The 33-year-old continued, “When I look back at it, at the time I was having all the emotions of a newborn and it was probably more me just being overprotective. It was his way of trying to show his love and affection, but sometimes it was a bit too much”.

“He’d do things like breathe on her. I knew one day I’d laugh about it, but at the time it would make me cry”.

Billie admitted, “I think he was feeling that bit of jealousy, he’s always been the baby and throughout my pregnancy he became very attached to me and that was the start of it. When I had Margot, he felt pushed out”.

Billie and her husband Greg are also proud parents to eight-year-old Nelly, who has been super helpful since her little sister was born.

“Nelly has been amazing. Right from the start she was really good. In the beginning, she was lovely and held Margot, but she wasn’t as fussed as Arthur and wanting to be hanging over me, she just let me get on”.

Faiers added, “Now she picks her up out of the pram and walks around with her. But I can say to Nelly, ‘Darling, can you watch her for Mummy?’. It’s really nice being able to do that. For the kids I think it’s only going to keep getting better”.

Many fans were thrilled to see Bruce Willis in high spirits as he celebrated his 68th birthday after his recent diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.

Bruce’s ex-wife Demi Moore posted the video of the Die Hard actor singing along as his family sang Happy Birthday to him. 

The clip finished with Willis blowing out the candles on an apple pie that his wife, Emma Hemming, revealed she got for him.

Sharing the snippet of Bruce’s big day, Demi captioned the post, “Happy birthday, BW! So glad we could celebrate you today. Love you and love our family”.

“Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes — we all feel them”, the Ghost star added.

The video led many fans of the actor to comment on Willis’ good form, sharing their delight to see him looking so well after staying out of the limelight in recent times.

“This is probably just a good moment amongst countless heartbreaking and bleak times… but I’m glad he and the family could have this one. So glad he has an amazing family”, wrote a fan.

A second follower said, “His family are all around him and it’s his birthday so, it’s a great day for him and I’m glad they all get to see him like this if it has been a while”.

“He looks great. Glad he had a good day with his family”, penned another supporter, while a fourth fan added, “So beautiful on so many levels this is true love and a true family. Happy Bruce you are so loved”.

The Paradise City star's wife, Emma, shared a video tribute to her husband showing sweet moments from their relationship over the years. 

In the caption she honoured him by saying, “He is pure love. He is so loved. And I’ll be loving him always. Happy Birthday my sweet”.

“My birthday wish for Bruce is that you continue to keep him in your prayers and highest vibrations because his sensitive Pisces soul will feel it. Thank you so much for loving and caring for him too”.

Last month, Bruce’s family updated fans with his dementia diagnosis after sharing he had been diagnosed with aphasia in 2022. They revealed, “Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces”.

“Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead”.

Laura Anderson has been celebrating being a mum-to-be!

The former Love Island star is currently expecting her first child, following her split from her ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy.

Since sharing the news of her pregnancy and subsequent breakup, Laura has been incredibly candid about her thoughts on becoming a single mum.

As yesterday was Mother’s Day, the 33-year-old took to Instagram earlier today to showcase an adorable card, signed from her unborn child.

The card featured a sonogram image of Laura’s incoming little one, with a message reading: “Happy Mother’s Day, Can’t wait to meet you mummy”.

“Thank you to the cutest friend @annielx for making me this yesterday,” the reality star penned alongside the card’s image. 

“I’m a lucky girl to have such an amazing strong woman in my life that I lean on for so much,” Laura continued with love. “I appreciate you,” she added.

Yesterday marked Laura’s first Mother’s Day as a mum-to-be. The Celebs Go Dating star shocked her fans on February 15 earlier this year, when she revealed that she is expecting her first child. 

“My heart is full,” she wrote at the time. “Bubba due Summer ‘23”.

Laura decided to share the news by posting a video montage of moments from her pregnancy so far. The video featured actor Gary Lucy a few times, leading fans to believe that the couple were still in a relationship.

However, shortly after Laura made her pregnancy announcement, Gary confirmed that the couple had since parted ways. They initially met in August of last year, during filming for Celebs Go Dating.

Laura has since been vocal about how she plans to co-parent with Gary, but will ultimately be a single mum.

In a recent post to celebrate International Women’s Day, the Love Island star highlighted other mums in her position. “Happy International Women’s Day to all the single mums out there, the pregnant woman doing this alone,” she penned at the time.

We hope Laura enjoyed her first Mother’s Day!

Kai and Sanam have been teasing Love Island fans!

The couple were crowned the winners of this year’s winter Love Island series earlier this month. Since returning home from the South African villa, the lovebirds have been taking part in a wealth of interviews, discussing their time on the ITV reality show.

Earlier this morning, the pair appeared on the Asian Network Breakfast programme on the BBC Asian Network radio station.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kai Fagan (@kaifagan_)

During their conversation with presenter Nikita Kanda, Sanam gave listeners official confirmation of their relationship status. “We are boyfriend and girlfriend,” she exclaimed.

Host Nikita then informed Kai and Sanam that today is National Proposal Day. “Listen, I’d get down on one knee any day,” Kai joked.

To that end, Nikita’s producer then brought an engagement ring over to Kai, and he proceeded to get down on one ring and ‘propose’.

“Will you marry me?”, he asked, to which Sanam replied: “I accept!”

Sanam later teased that she would expect more for her real proposal. “I would have fancied like a cute little speech, but it’s okay,” she beamed.

“We’ll get the speech later,” Kai responded.

Following their radio interview, fans who hadn't tuned in to the radio programme were left confused when the couple re-shared an image of themselves showing off Sanam’s ring.

“OMG did this just happen live on the @bbcasiannetwork”, the programme’s social media team wrote.

Fans of the Love Island couple subsequently took to social media to figure out whether or not the engagement was real. 

“Kai and Sanam are engaged? Say sike,” one Twitter user wrote.

“Kai and Sanam engaged?? Where how when whoomst???”, another follower exclaimed.

Unfortunately, the couple won’t be walking down the aisle any time soon – but hopefully, a real engagement will happen for them in the future!

Dame Laura Kenny has announced the gender of her baby that is due in July of this year. 

The Olympic cyclist announced she was expecting again with her husband Sir Jason in January of this year after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage in 2021 and an ectopic pregnancy two months later.

Speaking to OK!, Laura revealed that the couple are having a baby boy and opened up about how they are feeling now that they know what they're having.

“We didn’t have a preference, as we’ve been through so much trauma we just wanted a baby that was well”, Laura explained.

Laura and Jason are already proud parents to their five-year-old son, Albie, and said that they asked him if he’d prefer a baby brother or sister. 

“But we asked Albie what he wanted and he kept saying a little boy. I said to him, ‘What happens if we get a baby sister?’ And he was like, ‘I don’t want it’”.

The 30-year-old continued, “I’ve never felt so relieved as when we got the result. We showed him the scan and he said, ‘I hope he grows up quickly.’ He wants the baby to be born aged five!”.

The Olympic pair already have a name chosen for their new arrival but won’t be revealing it until he makes his way into the world.

They did hint at the style of name they like by saying, “I love a name that can be shortened. Albie is Albert Louie and there’s an abbreviation again this time”.

“I feel choosing the name is important for Jase, as it helps him feel connected”, Kenny added. 

Laura also revealed she’s been experiencing lots of pregnancy symptoms, including morning sickness, but after having two baby losses, she doesn’t want to complain as she finds the side effects reassuring.

“It’s been difficult feeling so tired and sick while looking after Albie, but it’s good difficult. I’d rather have every symptom under the sun, because the symptoms are reassuring”. 

“When I get heartburn, because I got heartburn with Albie, I’m downing Gaviscon going, ‘Yes!’ When I feel really sick, I’m like, ‘Yay!’”.

“I can’t believe I am now a mummy of 5. And all I can say is, not one of those judgments or opinions back then were true,” she penned. “No matter how real they felt I look at each of them now and I have never felt so proud.
