The world of tennis has been reacting to the news that Naomi Osaka is pregnant!

The tennis champion is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Grammy-nominated rapper Cordae.

Feeling compelled to explain her recent absence from the tennis court, Naomi took to social media last night to share the news with both her fans and the wider world.

“Can’t wait to get back on the court but here’s a little life update for 2023,” the 25-year-old teased, alongside a snap of her growing little one from an ultrasound scan.

In a caption written both in English and her native Japanese, the expectant mother went on to divulge about her pregnancy.

"The past few years have been interesting to say the least, but I find that it's the most challenging times in life that may be the most fun,” Naomi penned. “These few months away from the sport has really given me a new love and appreciation for the game I've dedicated my life to.”

Naomi continued by explaining one thing that she is really excited about, now that she is about to become a mum. "I realize that life is so short and I don't take any moments for granted, every day is a new blessing and adventure. I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I'm looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, 'that's my mom,' haha,"  she teased.

The four-time Grand Slam champion also vowed to return to tennis in time for the Australian Open in 2024. Tennis fans had been shocked earlier this week when Naomi had announced her withdrawal from this year’s tournament, which is due to start on January 16. "2023 will be a year that'll be full of lessons for me,” she gushed.

Since sharing her wonderful news, Naomi has received endless love from tennis fans and celebrities.

“Congratulations”, commented fellow tennis player Coco Gauff, alongside three hearts.

“What! Omg! Congratulations!”, wrote The Office actress Jenna Fischer.

“So Excited for you!!”, added fashion designer Kelly Wearstler.

Naomi and Cordae have been dating since 2019. The pair seem to have a sweet relationship, with Naomi teasing her boyfriend in 2020 by joking that she’s "still convinced he doesn't understand the rules of tennis lol."

Congratulations to the expectant parents!

Riverdance fans around the world have been shocked to hear that Michael Flatley has been diagnosed with cancer.

It has been revealed that the Chicago-born Irish dancer was given his diagnosis at Christmas time. 

Taking to social media last night to share the heartbreaking news, Michael’s team confirmed that he has been receiving treatment.

“Dear friends, we have something personal to share, Michael Flatley has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer,” they stated. 

“He has undergone surgery and is in the care of an excellent team of doctors. No further comments will be made at this time,” they added. "We ask only for your prayers and well wishes.”

At this time, it is still unclear what Michael’s specific cancer diagnosis is.

Since sharing his news, the dancing star has been flooded with messages of well-wishes and kindness.

“Prayers and thoughts”, commented Boyzone singer Keith Duffy.

“Sending you our well wishes and keeping you in our thoughts”, penned one fan.

“Thinking of Michael and his family and wishing him a full recovery. Prayers and thoughts and warm wishes to you Michael,” added another.

The news comes just two years after the 64-year-old spoke out about another cancer scare that he had had in his lifetime.

Speaking to the Irish Independent in 2021, Michael revealed that in 2003, he had been given a diagnosis for skin cancer – specifically, a malignant melanoma.

"It was purely by chance that it was noticed," he explained at the time. "I had never even noticed it…it can be a frightening place to be."

Michael has been an avid supporter of cancer charities for many years, and has also played a key role as ambassador for the charity Breakthrough Cancer Research.

We are sending all of our best wishes to Michael at this difficult time.

Lockdown meant that our world slowed to a halt – roads emptied of cars, public spaces emptied of people, skies emptied of planes. And while that was all devastating and terrifying, the total world shutdown brought some unexpected benefits. We all saw the photos of the canals in Venice run clear and sea animals return to them, and air quality also improved due to our lack of movement in cars, buses and planes around the world.

But now that life is back to normal, many of us have been questioning our tourism practices – what is our role in air pollution, even if we just go on one or two holidays a year? What is our social responsibility to the countries we’re visiting, aside from abiding by their coronavirus guidelines? Should Venice not always have sea animals in their canals, should India’s river Ganga not always run as clear as it did when visitors dropped off and there was a 500% reduction of sewage and industrial effluents?

We have to consider our own role in the environmental health of the countries we visit and educate ourselves as to how we can respect the environment and people who live there so that it can continue being a beautiful place for others to go.

Ecotourism is all about leaving as small a carbon footprint and having as little impact as possible on the local communities and environments you visit while on holidays. It’s all about keeping beautiful environments preserved as well as possible and supporting less-impactful tourism ventures that support the local community, wildlife and ecosystem.

There are several pillars of ecotourism:

Tourist activities available should not exploit the natural environment or local communities.

Any planned developments should be discussed and planned in consultation with local communities to ensure they are supported and heard.

Any new infrastructure should improve life for locals as well as tourists.

And while all of those guidelines can help you to support ecotourism-friendly infrastructure, what can you actually do on an individual level to sight-see and travel in a low-impact way?

Follow environmental guidelines

When visiting natural beauty spots, make it your priority to protect the environment. You can do this by keeping to footpaths rather than creating your own trails that may hurt wildlife, cleaning up any rubbish and bringing it with you and ensuring you don’t start any fires with cigarettes. Don’t feed or scare any animals or disturb their nests or dens for photos or to interact with them.

Support local

Eat in restaurants run by locals and try to order local foods and drinks. This way you won’t be supporting any imported products and can really get to know the local cuisine. You’ll be getting the freshest food and drink and will get to try new things too! Try to do your shopping in the local markets to support nearby farmer’s produce and research your accommodation to ensure you’ll be staying in a place that benefits the local community – you’ll be well-looked after and can get all the insider’s local tips from your host!

Visit low-impact facilities

Visiting places that are empowering to the local communities and environment can make a huge difference to the kinds of facilities that continue to pop up in that area. For example, visiting places that exploit wild exotic animals for tourist entertainment is something that we may not all recognise at first – we’re excited to see these animals and interact with them. But try to check beforehand what kind of practices this place has – is it an animal show or is it a conservation facility? Research how they’re treating their animals and try to find some local information on them. All may not be as it seems, so be mindful of who and what you are supporting.

Former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid is marking her 59th birthday in a very special way.

Rather than sharing snaps of herself celebrating her birthday, Yolanda has paid tribute to her late mum and thanked her for bringing her into the world. 

Yolanda’s mum, Ans van den Herik, tragically passed away in 2019 at the age of 78 after battling cancer.

Earlier today, Hadid posted a collection of photos of her and her mum to her 3.7M Instagram followers. 

Some of the pictures show the pair posing on a boat, while other shows them with horses and enjoying a meal together. 

Yolanda captioned the moving post, “It’s been hard to go on without your presence in my life, I miss my barometer, my truthteller, my safespot and anchor of my being”.

“You are my heart and soul my beautiful mamma, I know your light is shining down on me from heaven”.

The mum-of-three sweetly added, “I deeply honour you today, the day you brought me into the world, the day that will forever be ours”.

Many fans of the former reality TV star took the time to comment touching messages for Yolanda in order to comfort her on a day that is difficult to celebrate when you are missing a loved one.

One penned, “I am so sorry. But she will live forever in your heart and in your mind. And give you signs that she is still with you and loves you. Take care”.

“Happy birthday. Your beautiful mother is looking down upon you with such joy. You are a great mother, grandmother, and friend. You are truly blessed!”, added another fan.

Gigi shared a birthday message for her mum to her Instagram Stories alongside a childhood photo of her. The 27-year-old wrote, “Happy birthday sweet mama. Love you so much!”.

Yolanda is also mum to model Bella, 26, and 23-year-old Anwar, who has also dabbled in the modelling world.

Suzanne Jackson has been opening up about her journey on Dancing With The Stars!

The brand new series of the RTÉ dance competition kicked off on Sunday night, and Suzanne took to the floor for the very first time with her dance partner Michael Danilczuk.

Since then, the SoSueMe founder has been speaking out about her experience on the show so far. In particular, she gave a shocking revelation that she received an abundance of hate following the announcement that she would be joining the show.

“A lot of people were shocked. I read articles saying 'she has the money; she has the fame' – but that’s not what it’s about. This is about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone,” the 38-year-old explained in an interview with the Irish Mirror. 

Suzanne went on to note that in joining DWTS, she wants her 302K Instagram followers to see her in a different light. “I’m very business-like on Instagram, so this is a very vulnerable place to be in and they will see an emotional side to me which I don’t think I really revealed before. But that’s part of the fun and the whole journey,” she teased.

Amazingly, Suzanne also admitted that she initially got in contact with DWTS producers as she wanted to be considered for a presenting role. However, the job had already been filled by Doireann Garrihy, but the producers asked if Suzanne would like to be a contestant instead – and she jumped at the chance!

“I just thought the timing was right for me,” Suzanne added. “I’m quite an obsessive person so I need to go full steam towards it, and this was my new challenge.”

On Sunday night, Suzanne began her DWTS journey by dancing a samba, which scored her 23 points from the judges. However, the makeup guru has revealed that she is her own worst critic. “I am an absolute perfectionist so for me I didn’t do my best,” she shared. “I’m feeling overall really happy, but I know I could’ve done better. And it’s terrible to be like that but that is the way I am.”

Hopefully, Suzanne will be happier with her performance this Sunday, when she takes to the floor once again on RTÉ One at 6:30pm!

Kelsey Parker has been opening up about her progress with grief after the death of her husband. 

Tom Parker, who was one of the members of the boyband The Wanted, tragically passed away in March of last year after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. He was just 33 years of age, and was a father-of-two to daughter Aurelia (3) and son Bodhi (2). 

Since his untimely passing, Tom’s wife Kelsey has been sharing the process of her grief, which has recently included taking part in a trek across the Sahara desert, in aid of the breast cancer charity Coppafeel.

Speaking to OK!, the 32-year-old detailed how she felt taking part in the huge trek. "It was emotional because I had people in my team who had stage four cancer, and I’ve just been living with someone who had stage four cancer for 18 months,” Kelsey explained.

In a moving part of the interview, Kelsey described the moment she felt Tom’s spirit with her on her trek. “I knew he was there with me and I thought I’m 100% doing this for him. We got to the top of one sand dune and a butterfly flew past me,” she noted. “Butterflies are my thing with Tom. My team were like, 'He’s here with us.’”

The mum-of-two then went on to share that she bonded with one of her team members over the realities of being a widowed parent. “One of the guys on my team lost his wife to breast cancer three years ago. I felt like we were put on the same team for a reason because I was talking to him about where his daughter was at now,” Kelsey reminisced.

In her interview, Kelsey admitted that she knows she has a tough journey ahead with her two children, but that the members of her team understood her emotions surrounding her situation. “My kids are going to be at that stage after losing their dad and we spoke about the road ahead, like the kids going to school,” she revealed heartbreakingly. 

“I can’t talk to everyone about that because they don’t know what I’ve been through or what I am going through. But he actually understood it all and how I felt. It was tough,” Kelsey added.

We’re sending all our love to Kelsey and her children, as well as congratulations to her for completing an incredible trek for a worthy cause.

Melanie Murphy is now a mum-of-two!

The YouTuber and author shared the wonderful news last week that she had given birth to her second child, a baby girl, alongside her husband Thomas O’Rourke.

Since then, the 33-year-old has been fairly quiet on social media, but has now broken her silence with her long-awaited birth story, as well as a glimpse at her new baby girl.

Taking to Instagram earlier today, Melanie showcased two images of herself beaming lovingly at her daughter following her birth. Keeping to the privacy rules that she has with her two-year-old son, she will not be sharing her daughter’s face or name online.

“Our baby girl was born on January 4th, a whopping 9lb 14oz (the scans were WAY off haha!) and I’ve been on the high of a lifetime ever since. She is so beyond adored,” the Glass Houses author gushed at the beginning of her lengthy caption.

Melanie further added a message of thanks to the hospital team and midwife who helped her to welcome her baby girl into the world. “I got to experience the most empowering, healing birth at the Rotunda hospital, with the LOVELIEST midwife who I cannot thank enough for supporting me and my birth preferences,” she praised.

Melanie then went on to describe the progression of her labour. “My labour started at 11:30pm and my baby girl was born by 6am with just three hours in hospital and a few pushes. I birthed her on all fours on the floor listening to my old gym playlist,” the If Only writer joked. 

“I was up walking and showering soon after and even got to go home the next day! Unbelievable! I trusted in my body and it made me so unbelievably proud”, she added.

Melanie and Thomas welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in September 2020. The couple have been together since 2017 after being friends for a decade. The pair got to celebrate tying the knot in March of last year, after they were restricted to get married in a smaller ceremony in March 2020 at the beginning of the Covid pandemic.

Congratulations to Melanie on her new bundle of joy!

Types of Perfumes To Keep in Your Collection

Perfume is a great accessory even though it doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. Just like the perfect scarf or hat, a great scent adds the perfect accent as you put yourself together. When it’s time to add your perfume to your outfit, you’ll find it’s a good idea to have a few different options for various occasions and LaBelle Perfumes makes them easy to get.

Types of Perfumes To Have on Hand

Some people may shop for perfumes in search of a “signature scent.” They want the one fragrance that is going to smell great on them in every situation. While you may have one go-to perfume that is perfect for you, it’s nice to have options as well.

Floral Perfume

Every collection should include a bottle of perfume that leads with floral notes. Thankfully, this is one of the most common scent profiles so it is easy to find a bottle you will love. Florals can get their scent from a variety of flowers such as roses, jasmine and magnolias. The bright smell is perfect for a casual day or a romantic afternoon lunch.

Spicy Perfume

Quite different from floral perfumes, spicy perfumes make a completely different statement when you wear them. They are often characterized by the smell of cinnamon, ginger and even pepper. It might seem like these fragrance notes would be out of place in a perfume, but they create a luxurious scent on the wearer. Grab a spice-based perfume when you want to be a bit more seductive.

Earthy Perfume

Your perfume collection should have at least one earthy scent in the line-up. Bergamot, oak and wood are the dominant scent notes in many of these fragrances. The scents are not over-the-top and add a nice air of calmness. You can find a standout earthy perfume for special occasions or make your earthy scent your go-to for a day at the office.

Citrus Perfume

When you want to use your scent to increase the energy in a space, reach for a citrus perfume. The notes of lemon, orange and tangerine are sharp and bright. These smells help wake you up and boost your mood, which is another great reason to wear perfume. A citrus scent is a great daytime perfume that isn’t too overpowering.

Finding the Right Bottles for You

Shopping for perfume will reveal hundreds of choices in each category of fragrance, so how do you choose? Start by observing the scents you like in everyday life, whether it’s the bergamot in your candle or the smell of someone else’s perfume. Then check out all the perfume descriptions on LaBelle Perfumes to get what you want.

Be Confident in Your Perfume Collection

Starting a perfume collection doesn’t have to be difficult. Begin with a few choice scents that work well for different events and occasions and build from there. Creating your collection also doesn’t have to be expensive. If you’re ready to start, head over to LaBelle Perfumes to get great prices on amazing fragrances.

The synopsis of the documentary describes it as “An intimate and humanising portrait of one of the world’s most famous blonde bombshells”.

The film “follows the trajectory of Pamela Anderson’s life and career from small town girl to international sex symbol, actress, activist and doting mother”.

Molly Mae is remaining booked and busy!

The former Love Island star is just days away from her due date. Molly Mae is currently expecting her first child with her boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury, with whom she found love on the ITV dating show. 

Throughout the latter months of her pregnancy, Molly Mae has been keeping her fans up to date with her preparations to become a mum. Earlier today on her Instagram stories, the 23-year-old influencer opened up a Q&A box and invited her 6.8M followers to ask her anything they were desperate to know.

During this question session, a fan asked Molly Mae what her plan was for the day. In response, the expectant mum shared exciting news that she has been filming for an upcoming TV project. “Last day filming for something I’ve been involved in over the last few months!”, Molly Mae explained. 

“I’ve basically done zero television work for the last 3 years as it’s not something I wanted to do, but the small involvement I’ve had in this project felt right!”, she added, teasing the project further with an emoji of a family-of-four.

Molly Mae also confirmed whether or not she will have a complete social media break following the birth of her first child. “I haven’t really thought about this,” she replied honestly to her fan’s question. 

“As much as social media is my job… I absolutely love posting,” Molly Mae admitted. “So even though I’m planning to take a break from work when she arrives, I think I’ll still be sharing my life when I want to.”

Lastly, the Pretty Little Thing influencer detailed that she has had her daughter’s name chosen for years. “Luckily Tommy loved it too,” Molly Mae teased, adding, “even if he hadn’t I would’ve had to talk him round because like I say, there was only ever one name she was having”.

Molly Mae and Tommy surprised fans worldwide when they revealed their pregnancy in September of last year. The couple had managed to keep their big news a secret for almost six months, but have since been letting fans in on numerous details ahead of the birth of their baby girl.

We’re so excited for them!
