Less than a month after revealing how he lost his virginity on Reddit, Joe Jonas has been spotted getting cosy with actress Sophie Turner.

The famous pair were snapped cuddling at a Kings of Leon concert in Rotterdam this weekend, with sources saying the singer could been seen kissing the Game of Thrones star.

An insider told Us Weekly: “Joe and Sophie arrived together before the show started.  He had his arm around her as they walked in, and then he was holding her before the show.”

“Joe and Sophie kissed a few times and were talking and drinking soda,” she added.

“When the lights went down and Kings of Leon started they were dancing together and singing along.  Joe would kiss her cheek as they danced next to each other.”

“They left together just after the last song and looked very cute.  They seemed like a couple and appeared very into each other.”

The 27-year-old former Disney star and the 20-year-old X-Men actress also spent Halloween together.

They were tagged in a mutual friend’s Instagram post celebrating the October holiday.

 

 While it is still very early days, we think this could be one to watch.

We'll be honest – we never actually believed a roll in the hay equated with a full-on cardio session, but when you hear it enough times, you do start to use it as a reason to ditch that evening's gym session, right?

But if your other half has been using the no-pants-dance as an excuse to take a time-out from training during the week, you may want to tell them they've been wasting their time.

According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, for a man who weighs 154 lbs – or 11 stone –  a 60-minute sex session will burn 210 calories which is the equivalent of walking at – wait for it – a moderate pace.

And if you think 60 minutes sounds pretty damn ambitious, you're not alone.

Commenting on the stamina of our other halves, the scientists explained: "Given that the average bout of sexual activity lasts about six minutes, a man in his early-to-mid-30s might expend approximately 21 calories during sexual intercourse."

Adding insult to injury, they continued: "Of course, he would have spent roughly one third that amount of energy just watching television, so the incremental benefit of one bout of sexual activity with respect to energy expended is plausibly on the order of 14 calories."

14 measly calories? Sounds like those lads need to work a little harder…

If there was one former couple we did not see reconciling, it was Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell.

The couple, who began their relationship in front of the Celebrity Big Brother cameras in January, went through countless ups and downs over just five months before eventually calling it quits in May of this year.

But not before Stephanie announced she was pregnant, and the pair engaged in their fair share of mud-slinging online.

And while it looked like the pair had officially moved on in recent months, it seems Irish model, Jeremy McConnell, has had a change of heart after hearing of Steph's recent hospitalisation.

Speaking to The Sun, a source close to the Dubliner said Jeremy has realised his conduct often fell short, saying: "It’s like a switch has gone off in his head and he’s now realised his posts et cetera might not be appropriate."

"Stephanie will be in hospital for a few more days and Jeremy has decided to get rid of anything negative," the insider added.

Commenting on Stephanie's public persona, the source suggested her calmer demeanour has a lot to do with Jeremy's supposed change of heart.

"She has grown up a lot over the last few months, which is very apparent from her attitude publicly."

"It’s definitely been noted by Jeremy and perhaps this latest move might be a step towards him trying to reach out to her.’

According to reports, while Stephanie is still in hospital, she and her unborn child are doing well.

If you grew up with an Irish mammy in a Catholic household, chances are you know that St Anthony is your only man if you're frantically hunting for something you've lost.

And while we have the man himself to thank for reuniting us with countless things over the years, one pensioner from Germany has – wait for it – a carrot to thank for his good fortune.

Three years after losing his wedding ring while doing some gardening, an elderly man from Bad Münstereifel was reunited with the piece of jewellery when it reappeared wrapped around a vegetable during a recent harvest.

No, seriously.

Having searched unsuccessfully for years, the mam and his wife resigned themselves to the notion that the ring was lost forever, but 18 months after the latter's passing, the 82-year-old widower was presented with his ring which had spent three years nestling beneath the soil.

Commenting on his good fortune, the pensioner confirmed that the ring was in perfect condition and finally back with its rightful owner.

Anyone else melting right now?

While Adele recently revealed she would love to give her son Angelo a sibling, it sounds like the much-loved star doesn't intend to rush into it given the struggles she endured following her first pregnancy.

Opening up about her experience of postnatal depression, Adele told Vanity Fair that the months following her son's birth in 2013 have had a lasting impact.

"I had really bad postpartum depression after I had my son and it frightened me," she admitted in the recent interview.

Adele, who turned 28 in May, admitted that her prior knowledge of the condition didn't tally with her experience of it.

"My knowledge of postpartum – or postnatal, as well call it in England – is that you don’t want to be with your child; you’re worried you might hurt your child, you’re worried you weren’t doing a good job."

"But I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate, I felt like I’d made the worst decision of my life… it can come in many different forms," she explained.

Offering an insight into the methods she used to navigate the condition, Adele explained that she allocated a certain time in the week to focus solely on herself.

"Eventually I just said, I’m going to give myself an afternoon a week, just to do whatever the f**k I want without my baby," she said.

"A friend of mine said, ‘Really? Don’t you feel bad?’ I said, I do but not as bad as I’d feel if I didn’t do it," she reasoned.

According to emerging reports, Adele is planning to wed partner of five years Simon Konecki.

Commenting on the union, a source close to the couple said: "They won't make a big song and dance about it, that's not the way either of them are, and you won't see Adele walking around with a huge diamond on her finger flaunting it."

"But they're ready to take the next step and are both very excited about the prospect," they added.

With enough detective work, you can, according to the six degrees of separation theory, connect yourself with anyone in the world through no more than six people.

And while that seemed totally out there a few decades ago, the advent of social media has really reinforced the reality of the notion.

From Facebook to Tinder, you're connected to countless strangers through mutual friends, family members and work colleagues, but the idea of any one of them having been in your home without your knowledge is a creepy one, right?

So, it's no surprise one guy in the States was left pretty freaked out when he matched with a girl named Jenna Zagrodniczek on Tinder, and quickly realised her profile photo had been taken in HIS bathroom.

Taking to Twitter, 19-year-old Mark Kowalczyk shared side-by-side snaps, and wrote: "I've never see this girl before and yet, her tinder profile picture is in my bathroom."

Unsurprisingly the tweet was widely circulated and eventually came to the attention of Jenna who decided to freak Mark out even further by sharing another snap of herself in his home.

But before you go changing your locks and deleting your account, it turned out Jenna had been at a party in Mark's house and the pair hadn't managed to cross paths.

How big is that gaf?!

If you often find yourself reminiscing about hot and heavy weekends spent in bed at the start of your relationship, you're not alone.

Once that can't-keep-your-hands-off-each-other period dies down, it's normal to draw a comparison between the initial stages of your romance and the steadier routine you've become accustomed to.

But if you're really tying yourself in knots over how often your reach the big O with your other half, then it might be worth taking the advice of experts who insist once a week is enough to boost contentment levels in any relationship.

According to a study led by researchers at the University of Toronto, more than once a week doesn't generally make a difference to how happy you feel with your partner (Although, that's not to say you shouldn't go at it as often as you both want, obvs.)

After analysing findings from a 23-year study which harnessed the experiences of 25,000 people, researchers established that once a week was average and enough to boost happiness levels.

Speaking to CNN,study leader Amy Muise said: "I do think couples can end up feeling pressure to try to engage in sex as frequently as possible."

Hear that ladies? Once a week and you'll be laughing.

After Drake's public declaration of love earlier this year, we would have liked to assume that Rihanna and Drake were still on relatively good terms despite their break-up, but it looks like we were way off.

According to emerging reports, Rihanna has been busy advising a fellow singer to steer clear of the Hotline Bling singer unless she wants her heart broken.

After Taylor Swift and Drake were spotted getting super-cosy at the latter's 30th birthday bash, Rihanna felt it was her duty to warn Taylor against getting involved with her former bae.

According to an insider, Rihanna thinks Drake would happily break Taylor's heart and move on, saying: "Taylor doesn’t stand a chance with Drake."

"She ain’t got nothing Drake wants and she certainly doesn’t want the type of headaches and drama he’s capable of giving a woman."

Speaking exclusively to HollywoodLife, the insider revealed that Rihanna is certain Taylor has no idea what she'd be letting herself in for.

"Taylor’s known for writing songs after her bitter break-ups with her exes and if she got a dose of the games Drake plays, she’d be writing songs about it until she turns 100," the source continued.

"Drake’s a deadly spider and Taylor can mess around and get bit if she wants to.”

Between this and recent Twitter fall-out, it's definitely not a good week for Drake.

While it was all dealt with on the quiet back when it happened, it looks like the fall-out from Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik's split was pretty horrendous.

And it's all coming out now.

 

In addition to learning that her two-year engagement was over by text, Perrie was left without a place to call her own – something she addresses in the Little Mix autobiography.

"After I split with my partner, out of the blue, I had nowhere to go which was incredibly stressful," she wrote. 

"For a while I had no idea what to do. The girls offered to put me up but they didn't really have room. I thought about renting but I've got dogs and cats, so that was no good." Perrie explained.

 

At the time, the band were promoting Black Magic in the States, and Perrie admits the reality of her situation took a while to sink in.

"While I was in America, things really hit me and I panicked. I realised I was homeless. I was crying every day, dreading coming back."

 

Perrie pays tribute to her mother and Richard Griffiths – the owner of Modest Management – for helping her to settle into Richard's guest cottage until she and her pets could find a place of their own.

"Thank God for him," Perrie wrote. "I put all my stuff in storage, took my dogs and more or less lived out of a suitcase for a good month and a half."

What'll come out next?!

Wedding days are supposed to revolve around the bride and groom, but it looks like one couple were more than happy to share the spotlight on their big day.

Kathryn Dombrowski and Brad Zeimer decided to use their wedding day as an opportunity to promote the importance of adopting puppies instead of opting for the pet shop route.

After contacting Secondhand Hounds and speaking with Puppy Party Coordinater, Alycia, and Executive Director, Rachel, the couple were provided with 13 puppies which they presented to their bridal party shortly before the photographer got to work.

Speaking to Metro, Alycia said: "They were SO excited, Kathryn said they thought they were coming outside for regular photos but when they got outside we were there with 13 pit bull puppies."

"The bridal party was so in love and there was a lot of kissing going on!" she added.

According to all involved, the puppies played an absolute blinder on the couple's big day with Alycia confirming: "No challenges other than hoping everyone, including the bridal party since they were so excited, could hold their potties until after the photos were taken."

Secondhand Hounds have confirmed that the puppies were returned to their mum, Pikachu, following the wedding and are currently living with a foster owner.

First dates are an absolute minefield.

From choosing a location, deciding on an outfit and reining in your weirdness, it can actually feel like more of a chore than anything else.

With that in mind, it's always helpful when the person you're meeting plays by the rules and actually, you know, acts normal.

So, it's no real surprise that these lads could barely cope when comedian Laura Bubble rocked up to their first Tinder date looking like she'd been left at the alter.

In an effort to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer, Laura recorded her dates' reactions to her wedding day get-up, and frankly they're nothing short of priceless.

From the lad who told her he had to bail to the guy who denied he was there to meet her, Laura's mission to freak the absolute life out London's single male population worked.

Oh, and massive shout out to the guy who thought Dave was behind the whole thing… classic Dave, right?

In a move straight out of a cinematic love story, one couple from the United States recently returned to Ireland in order to retrieve a pendant they buried in Co Cork almost 30 years ago.

Bill and Laurie McGrath were in the first flush of their relationship back in 1990 when they decided to mark it by burying one half of a pendant alongside a love letter during a visit Laurie made to Co Cork.

Laurie, who was spending two months travelling around Europe with her friends, decided to bury her 'Best Friend' pendant in a cemetery in Castletownroche in the hopes that one day she and Bill would return to Ireland together to find it.

Bill recalls the moment which led to the decision, saying: "Let me give her something we could still look forward to when we go back."

"You break it in half,’ I said. ‘You wear one half and bury the other half in Ireland and we’ll go dig it up someday," he remembered.

And after 25 years of marriage, the couple, who are now grandparents and live in Conneticut, made the journey back to Ireland, and found the piece of jewellery Laurie buried a quarter of a century before.

According to The Mirror, the couple were overjoyed to find it, with Bill saying: "“Here it is. Twenty-six years. That’s true love.”

"There it was as shiny as could be. We just cried and said," Laurie admitted. "I can’t believe this. This is amazing.’"

And if anyone need us, we'll be weeping in a corner.
