George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are reportedly getting ready to start a family in the not-so-distant future.

It has been reported that the couple, who have been married for 10 months, have begun attending fertility clinics as preparation for Amal becoming pregnant.

Speaking to US Weekly an insider revealed that “They decided that it would be the right time.”

The source explained how “Amal isn’t taking on extra work at the moment and just continuing with the cases she has.”

It has also been reported that Hollywood’s handsomest man and his leading lawyer lady are already planning on building a nursery inside their 17th century mansion.

“They hope to have all the work done [on the mansion] by Christmas.”

The insider further revealed that “George is ready for this step and he thinks that Amal will be a great mother.”

We are already SO excited to see a tiny clan of Clooney’s running around the place. We are currently envisioning their spectacular playdates with the Jolie-Pitts!

Peter Andre has spilled (some of) the beans about his wedding day that took place last weekend.

The 42-year-old groom made the announcement saying, “I’m so delighted to tell you all that yes, Ems and I tied the knot at the weekend!”

As we previously mentioned, Mr Andre’s impromptu nuptials took many of us by surprise as the couple had previously said that they weren’t planning on getting married for another year.

Speaking to new! magazine, Peter gushed about his new wife saying, “Ems looked absolutely beautiful.”

The wedding took place in one of the UK’s grandest Georgian houses, Mamhead House. The property, which is worth over €13million, is the perfect wedding venue with an Italian-style sunken garden and terrace.

The wedding is believed to have been a stunningly elegant affair with the bride, 25-year-old Emily MacDonagh wearing a classic bridal gown with laced sleeves.

The affair sounds just a tad different to Mr Andre’s 2005 wedding to Katie Price which included a pink wedding gown and a Cinderella style carriage.

Peter and Emily have an 18-month-old daughter together, Amelia. It is believed that Peter’s oldest two children from his previous marriage acted as the flower girl and pageboy in the ceremony.

The Mysterious Girl singer is also reported to have provided his own entertainment, serenading his new bride and audience with a number of songs.

A source told The Sun that “Peter wants to make it a really personal affair. The song is very poignant and means a lot to him.” They also said that he was planning “to perform some more uplifting tracks to get everyone in the mood to party.”

And with a €700,000 magazine deal with OK! we are already dying to see the photos of the gorgeous day.

Lena Dunham was one of many straight people in the world who vowed that she would not be walking down the aisle until it was legal for every person to do so, regardless of their gender.

But with the American Supreme Court’s ruling on the 26th June that same-sex marriage is to be made legal in all 50 states, the road is now wide open for the Girls star to take the plunge.

After the news broke she even tweeted her boyfriend of three years, Bleachers and Fun frontman, Jack Antonoff saying, “get on it, yo.”

But now that she has the option to don “the fluffy white dress”, the question is, does she actually want to?

The 29-year-old penned a letter to The New Yorker where she explained her own confusing feelings about the institution of marriage.

Ms Dunham explained how it was easy to reject marriage as a self-sacrifice but that when the requirement for her to do so disappeared, their decision all of a sudden didn’t seem like so much a sacrifice.

“Just two days earlier, we had been living in a world where marriage wasn’t an option, or, rather, was an option that we had postponed for ourselves,” she revealed.

“And, instead of a hardship, this limbo had been a saving kind of relief, a limitless breathing space that allowed our relationship to grow without any of the tortured questions of legal commitments and ring settings that seem to plague so many sooner than they might want.”

Lena described how after the ruling came through, she was bombarded with messages from friends and family asking about her own big day.

“Now you can get married!” “Hello, bride to be <3” “So, when’s the wedding?” were just a few of the message she was getting.

So, is the countdown on? Will we be seeing Ms Dunham skipping down the aisle wearing white frills any time soon?

It doesn't appear that there will be a Mr and Mrs Antonoff just yet. "I like being a guest, for now," Lena admitted. "Aunt Bonnie, keep the dress in the box. But don't throw it away." At least she's not ruling it out anyway. 

And if real life marriage is off the cards, we at least hope that she gives us a Girls wedding sometime soon. With Marnie and Dessy having fallen apart our next best hope is Hannah and the new guy!

Peter Andre is reportedly set to marry his fiancée, Emily MacDonagh… tomorrow!

It has been reported that the Mysterious Girl singer celebrated the final days of his single life with a stag party on Wednesday.

Although it doesn’t look like he went on too mad of a one because he was up bright and early the next day, posting workout pictures from his gym session.

 

Just finished a workout sess. No athlete but for 42 not bad :))) lol

News of the 42-year-old’s wedding with his 25-year-old doctor fiancée is a big surprise because they couple had previously announced that they were not going to get married until next year.

However, Mr Andre did recently say that “It was always going to be next year. But I think we’re going to do it this year now because I think that’s nicer.”

And now it looks as if the time has very quickly come.

The couple, who already share one child together, have been getting very affectionate with each other on their Instagrams and out in public recently.

Maybe the pending nuptials have something to do with the usually very private couple’s PDAs!

Splashing around in the Caribbean Sea mere days ago in a tiny bikini, few bystanders would have guessed her VERY exciting news.

But this evening, Coleen Rooney took to Twitter to reveal that she and her husband are expecting their third child.

The 29-year-old said in the same post that she is due in January.

The duo married in an incredibly lavish ceremony in Italy seven years ago and are already parents to two sons: Kai, five-and-a-half, and Klay, two. 

Manchester United forward Wayne, 29, at the same time sent a similar message from his own Twitter account, saying: "Delighted that me and @ColeenRoo have our 3rd child on the way."

Speaking to Now! magazine earlier this year, Ms Rooney hinted that she was thinking of more children – and that after two sons, she'd love a daughter.

“I would love another baby! I don’t mind whether it’s a girl or a boy but I do think a little girl would complete our family.

“Wayne would love to have a girl because he grew up with brothers.”

And after weathering several relationship storms during their years together – including his infidelity – the teenage sweethearts ensure that they get some alone time too.

"Now that we have two kids, we make sure that we have time together," Coleen recently told Mail Online. "We make sure that one night a week we go out for dinner or go to the cinema."

Following a two week break in Barbados, one of the Rooneys' favourite holiday locations, the family returned to their home in the UK yesterday.

 

Looking forward to getting away with @coleen_rooney this week

The one and only Brian Dowling is about to get hitched, or so his Instagram post would suggest.

The former Big Brother star posted a workout snap where he referred to himself as “the groom to be” and said that the “count down is on.”

“The groom to be and my Chief Bridesmaid @aoife_dowling_x_ working it as the count down is on. Thank u@suzypurnell for nearly killing us!#wedding#Tomford #Alexperry #letsgo.”

We couldn’t be happier for him and his fiancé!

The couple have been together for over three years and Brian recently went on a stag, or “sten” as he called it, to the Greek island of Mykonos.

 

Bitch it's my Sten!!!! #Mykonos #friends

In an interview with Evoke last year, the 37-year-old revealed the type of wedding that he and his boyfriend would most likely have

“It would be very low-key – we’d legally get married in the UK and then have the circus – the big party – in Ireland.”

Thankfully so much has happened since the interview and with the referendum passing in the interim we think that this is going to be one hell of an Irish wedding!

They very much seemed the perfectly loved-up married couple – but this evening Brian McFadden took to Twitter to say that he and his wife of close-to three years have split. 

Vogue Williams shortly afterwards tweeted her own version of his statement.

"It is with sadness that Vogue and I have made the tough decision to go our separate ways," the message reads.

"We will always care greatly about each other, remain friends and we wish each other all the very best for the future."

Their split is the second time that 35-year-old Mr McFadden has experienced marital breakdown: he and his first wife Kerry Katona were married for two-and-a-half years before breaking up in 2004. They have two children, Molly, 13, and Lilly-Sue, 12, together.

He and Vogue, 29, do not have any children.

The reality TV star and DJ was today seen in Ibiza still proudly wearing her engagement and wedding ring.

The Dubliner looked sensational in a black Lipsy bikini – and certainly there was nothing to suggest the heartache she must have been experiencing. 

Vogue married former Westlife singer Brian in a lavish ceremony held in Florence in September 2012, photographs of which were featured in a glossy Hello! magazine spread.

More recently, Ms Williams has seen her career go from strength-to-strength: she appeared on – and subsequently won – Bear Grylls: Mission Survivor earlier this year.

The former model and Fade Street star is also spending a month in LA this summer filming for an as-yet unannounced show.

With an RTÉ project already in the pipeline for this autumn, she furthermore boasts a weekend radio show on Spin 103.8, has a popular blog in mynameisvogue.com, and right now is DJing in Ibiza on behalf of Lipsy.

As recently as April, Vogue told the Irish Independent that she and Brian were keen to start a family: "When we eventually have kids I want them to go to school in Ireland. It's a nice place to grow up," she revealed. 

She also admitted: "I'm feeling the baby pressure more now. I'll be married three years this September."

And she joked that she and Brian "squabble all the time" over baby names. "I want to give any children we have an equally mad name as the one I was given!"

The pair met in Dublin shortly after he and Australian singer Delta Goodman broke off their engagement – just eight months later, in November 2011, he got down on one knee and proposed to Ms Williams in Sydney.

Brian, who sold millions of records with Westlife, had a short-lived solo career. He subsequently had carved a niche for himself as a reality TV talent show judge.

However, since relocating back to the UK and Ireland from their base in Australia two years ago, he has enjoyed a much more low-key profile. 

Just last month in her Sunday World column, Vogue revealed that she and her husband had bought a house in Howth together, and that they had gotten a dog, a terrier called Winston.

Interestingly, it was widely rumoured today that Kerry Katona's third marriage, to George Kay, had also ended.

They’ve only been together for a few months but apparently these two love birds are already talking about marriage.

Taylor Swift, 25, and Calvin Harris, 31 (aka Taylvin), met and got together in February and have since been showcasing their loved-up status as a twosome all over social media.

Taylor’s celebrity filled party last weekend seemed to be just another excuse for her and beau, and her beau’s abs, to appear on our Instagram feeds seeming completely smitten.

According to Reveal magazine the two are taking their relationship to the next level by planning their future together.

A source told the publication that despite being worth a total of €130m, neither wants to sign a prenuptial agreement, but they are at least happy to talk honeymoons.

Apparently the two are big adventure seekers, as the source said they “would love to take a camper van and disappear either in Europe or North America for a while."

They’ve also apparently been discussing serious details about the Big Day. Taylor apparently “would love a big wedding at home but she loved Scotland and could be persuaded to do it there, especially as her family can travel more than his extended family can."

Things certainly seems to be escalating rather quickly for the pair.

There are reports, however, that Taylor’s family may not be so on-board with her not wishing to sign a pre-nup (fair enough really – she's worth at least twice what he is).

Taylvin have even just recently surpassed megastars Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the world’s most powerful couple.

The source says that Tay-Tay and Mr Harris both “know what they want from the future” so apparently “pre-nups and marriage came up in the conversation almost straight away”.

There hasn’t been any comment from reps for either of the stars on the story, so maybe we might be getting our hopes up; but could you imagine the invite list for that wedding?

It seemed that the once troubled reality TV star had finally found happiness when she married her third husband, former rugby player and bouncer George Kay.

The couple welcomed a daughter, DJ, in April last year and were married in September. 

Kerry Katona would also take to Twitter to enthuse about her beau, with him regularly returning the favour with an equally public declaration of affection.

Indeed, just last month, George, Kerry and Kerry's first husband, Brian McFadden, gushed warmly about one another on the social networking site. 

However, it is now being reported that Ms Katona, 34, has kicked Mr Kay out of the home they share with their daughter, as well as Kerry's four other children from her previous two marriages.

The Sun reports that she has "had enough" of her husband's "partying, going missing and failing to support her and the family". 

A source told the newspaper: "George's party lifestyle doesn't suit Kerry. He has been going missing regularly and Kerry has said she has had enough."

They added: "She says she feels like she is putting her own kids through what she went through when she was younger with her mum and a string of bad men."

In an interview with Closer magazine in May, 34-year-old George admitted: "It's been tough lately. We've been rowing a lot. Marriage isn't what I thought it would be to be honest."

He added: "There have been times I've thought we might not last. In my darkest moments I've wondered if we should even be together."

Ruby Rose became a household name overnight… Literally, overnight. One day she was an Australian TV presenter and then season 3 of OITNB aired and BAM – she was a global sensation.

But as with all rapid rises to fame, there are most certainly its drawbacks.

For the 29-year-old model, this includes having to postpone her wedding to her fiancée, Phoebe Dahl.

Ruby, also known as Justin Bieber’s doppelgänger, explained to People that when she initially signed up for the show she thought things would be a little bit more hectic but that she never anticipated the level of fame that she would reach.

“I don’t think anyone knew that my character would be taken so well. We want to find the time to plan the wedding, but now I think it’s going to be, like, next year.

“Originally it was going to be this year, but I feel like that’s a bit too ambitious,” the actress explained.

The DJ also revealed just how much she is enjoying being engaged to Roald Dahl’s granddaughter. “As it turns out we love being engaged, and I love the word ‘fiancée’.”

The former MTV presenter also revealed that when they do finally get to tie the knot, she plans on wearing a tux for the ceremony.

“I want to do a tux, like a really nice fitted suit. Givenchy or a Tom Ford,” Ms Rose divulged.

Following months of rumour, this evening it has been confirmed that Ben Affleck, 42, and Jennifer Garner, 43, are indeed ending their decade-long marriage.

Sadly, the couple's ten-year wedding anniversary fell yesterday: they married privately in Turks and Caicos on June 29, 2005 with only one witness present.

At the time, Jennifer was two months pregnant with the couple's first child, Violet, who was born later that year.

They are also parents to Sera, six, and three-year-old Sam.

TMZ reports that the actors are still working out the particulars of their separation with the assistance of a mediator. Together worth in the region of €90m, they are also in discussions with their various business managers about how to best divide their assets.

And although the announcement may seem strange so soon after their milestone anniversary, it is believed that the timing was in fact significant: under California law, spousal support becomes more generous if the couple has been together for ten years or longer.

Their divorce will be filed when all of their property and custody issues are resolved. However, the split is believed to be amicable and Ben and Jen will share joint custody of their three children.

A statement from the couple this evening reads: "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce.

"We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time."

The two met during the filming of their 2003 film Daredevil and began dating shortly afterwards.

In recent months, Mr Affleck has been spotted on several occasions unwinding in Las Vegas casinos. He was also away filming – and reportedly not wearing his wedding ring – on Ms Garner's 43rd birthday in April.

But for their children they have certainly put on a united front: just two weeks ago the family was pictured smiling and laughing together on a trip to a farmer's market in Los Angeles.

Often shunning the limelight, both actors have previously spoken of the support their spouse offers them.

Jennifer told InStyle magazine in 2013: "We both know we couldn't do what we do without each other. He has been amazing at finding ways of telling me how much he appreciates what I do.

"Honestly, I would do anything for that man, because I know it's not to be taken for granted.” 

And in the same year, Ben in an interview with Playboy said of his wife: "Getting to know her, falling in love with her and being connected with her gave me a foundation to reach out and say, 'Okay, I'm going to do Hollywoodland; I'm going to direct Gone Baby Gone.'"

The Irish couple that got married as part of the iRadio ‘social experiment’ have decided to call it a day on their marriage… just two days into their honeymoon.

As we previously reported, Nigel Finegan and Ann Marie O’Neill were married two weeks ago as part of the radio station’s experiment called ‘Three Strangers.’

But it would appear that the newlyweds didn’t quite hit it off. Ann Marie told the Irish Sun that the couple had a “heart-to-heart” where they admitted that there was “no spark.”

The 28-year-old admitted that she was disappointed the relationship didn’t work out but that she was also expecting it.

“I’m not that naïve. I sensed it anyway but I was willing to give a go and see what happens.”

The pair were flown to Turkey for their honeymoon on Sunday but just two days in they decided to call it quits.

“We all wanted the fairytale,” Nigel admitted. “We do get on really well but there just wasn’t much of a spark.”

With the ‘social experiment’ ending faster than most Hollywood marriages, we can’t imagine that too many people are going to be rushing down the aisle towards a stranger any time soon!
