A permanent split seemed unavoidable 18months ago: Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband of four years citing “irreparable differences”.

At the time, Lamar Odom, 35, was at the centre of infidelity claims, as well as accusations of a serious addiction to crack cocaine.

However, the former professional basketball player yesterday confessed to waiting photographers in Santa Monica that he believes a reunion with his wife is possible.

He added that Ms Kardashian is still “his girl,” quietly stating: “That’s my wife.”

TMZ has the exclusive footage of Lamar’s revelation.

While married, 30-year-old Khloe struggled to become pregnant; an ordeal that was well-documented during the filming of their spin-off reality TV show Khloe & Lamar.

The couple, who exchanged vows in September 2009 less than a month after meeting, had signed an iron-clad pre-nup in advance, and her friends and family had very much expected a quick and easy parting.

However, two months after Khloe’s move to dissolve their union, Mr Odom was seen wearing his diamond-encrusted wedding band en route to catch a flight to Spain from LA.

And neither has taken any action to move the necessary paperwork along for more than a year.

Indeed, it has been reported that a Californian judge is threatening to dismiss their application because it has become stagnant.

Last year, Khloe had an on-off relationship with rapper French Montana, but appears to be now single.

A year ago she moved out of the marital home and into a €6.5m Spanish-style villa in Calabasas – a home she bought from Justin Bieber. 

Meanwhile, Lamar has recently been dating a former flame, Lara Manoukian – a relationship which is said to have deeply upset his estranged wife.

As a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, his wedding guests must have expected big things when Mark Wright took the the dancefloor with his new wife Michelle Keegan.

The pair married in an opulent ceremony on Sunday – and apparently they wowed their friends and family with an expertly-executed Dirty Dancing routine.

The Mirror reports that the 28-year-old groom happily took on the role of Johnny Castle, made famous by Patrick Swayze, while Michelle, 27, was perfect as Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman.

To facility her energetic moves, the bride sensibly changed into a shorter version of her ivory lace wedding dress – complete with Dirty Dancing-appropriate ruffles on the skirt. She also reportedly carried white pom-poms and wore Sophia Webster shoes.

The pair’s official first frolic was to Whitney Houstin’s I Have Nothing – an emotional-charged song that prompted Mark to burst into tears, though Michelle remained composed.  

And while the newlyweds were in bed at a respectable 12.30pm, according to The Sun, their guests partied into the early hours of yesterday morning – with the venue having to turn off the power in a bid to get them to clear off and go home.

An insider told the paper: “They were having the time of their lives. They wouldn’t leave and had drunk a lot.

“In the end, staff just pulled the plug and they had to move on.”

If Twitter is an indicator, there were certainly a few sore heads the next morning: actress Brook Vincent said hers was "banging" but that she had "amazing memories".

Meanwhile, Nicola McLean said there had never been "a more stunning bride".

It's now official: Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan are husband and wife.

They said their vows this afternoon in front of 120 of their nearest and dearest, including Towie's Lydia Bright and James Argent, Coronation Street's Brooke Vincent and Antony Cotton, as well as Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher.

The 27-year old bride walked up the aisle to Shania Twain's From This Moment On.

A member of the choir who sang at the ceremony afterwards commented to The Mirror that while Michelle was remarkably composed throughout, Mark was "a little bit emotional" and shed a few tears. "It was a lovely service," they added.

Unusually, Boney M's By The Rivers Of Babylon was among the featured music. 

The pair hadn't seen each other since Friday afternoon, opting to spend the final 48hours before their Big Day apart.

Accompanied by his eight groomsmen and travelling in a giant stretch Hummer, Mr Wright, 28, had turned up at 12.20pm at the pretty St Mary's Church in the town of Bury St Edmunds in the east of England.

Ms Keegan, however, kept everyone waiting a full half an hour – arriving accompanied by her father, Michael, a little after 1.30pm. 

The bride had her heart set on a horse-drawn carriage, but security and privacy concerns necessitated a last-minute swap to a white vintage car – complete with blacked-out windows.

Crowds of local residents had lined the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the pair, but a €1.7m glossy magazine deal meant they were left disappointed.  

Still, eagle-eyed bystanders observed that Mark was dressed in a swish black tuxedo and bow-tie. Spectators also noted that the seven bridesmaids on duty wore baby blue, floor-length dresses with diamante detailing on the shoulders.

The wedding party later transferred to the opulent Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, a 16th-century manor, for a lavish reception.

On the menu was the likes of posh fish 'n' chips, and savoury pies with mashed potato.

This evening, a further 100 invitees joined them for top-notch entertainment, fireworks, and yet more delicious food including €25-a-pop kebabs sourced from one of the couple's favourite restaurants. A cocktail bar, fairground carousel, and candy cart are all also on offer.

DJ Pat Sharp, who knows Mark from their stint together on I'm a Celebrity back in 2011, told Mail Online today that he will be playing a set this evening.

Mark and Michelle got engaged just nine months after meeting. It has been reported that in total they will end up forking-out €1.4m on their various wedding celebrations.

It is not know yet where they will honeymoon, but it is believed that they have been offered an all expenses trip to Dubai, the city where they first met in December 2012.

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan will apparently spend a cool €1.4m on their wedding tomorrow – reportedly forking out €85,000 on flowers alone.

But the couple shouldn’t be too hard up afterwards: they’ve secured a €1.7m glossy magazine deal to help them cover the costs.

After being unable to find her perfect gown, Ms Keegan, 27, has designed her own wedding dress. This week she was spotted going into Brown’s Brides in central London for a final fitting; expect the final price-tag to be astronomical too.

There is as yet no word on what her seven bridesmaids – comprising of her stepsister, Mark’s two sisters, her BFF Becky Hatch, and three of her cousins – will be wearing, but it is likely that Michelle will opt for simplicity… and a designer label.

Mark and his Best Man – his footballer brother Josh – will also be suited-and-booted in high-end attire (as will the rest of the eight groomsmen). Today the pair were spotted relaxing on the golf course with their dad, Mark Snr. Michelle wasn't forgotten, however: in a romantic gesture, her name was emblazoned in white lettering across the back of her beau's polo shirt.

Meanwhile, the bride herself plans on arriving for tomorrow's 1pm ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage. She will be accompanied by her father, Michael. 

The couple will say their vows in front of 120 of their closest friends and family with guests afterwards transferring to one of the main reception rooms at the spectacular Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.

There, the group will tuck-in to an opulent lunch accompanied by carefully-selected white and red wines, as well as vintage champagne – though there'll be plenty of beer on tap too.

Another 100-odd invitees will then arrive later in the day, being treated to top-notch entertainment, dancing, drinks, a buffet meal, and a fireworks display as the evening progresses.

On Thursday, The Mirror revealed that attendees are required to bring along a second glamorous outfit for a Downton Abbey-inspired post-breakfast photoshoot taking place on Monday morning.

“Guests were only told about it this week,” another source close to the wedding party revealed. “So needless to say, there was a lot of last-minute panic.”

They added: “But Michelle and Mark are tied in to a two-part magazine deal, and the publication decided a second event the following day was needed.”

Sadly, it is unlikely that we’ll catch a glimpse of the bride tomorrow: that same strict magazine deal means all guests will be forced to surrender their phones on arrival, and they’ve also been ordered to keep off social-media sites such as Instagram and Twitter.

The couple have reported been offered an all-expenses paid, five-star trip to Dubai for their honeymoon. And certainly the location is special to them both. 

Reality TV star Mark, 28, proposed to actress Michelle there in September 2013 – just nine months after they met at a party in the Middle Eastern city.

They have previously said that they plan on having four children together.

Happy anniversary, Mr and Mrs West! Yes, Kim and Kanye have been married for a whole year – and the reality TV star has been sharing throwback snaps of her wedding weekend online.

And while they married in an elaborate €10m ceremony at an estate near Florence, the day before – May 23 – they also attended a brunch reception hosted by Valentino at his spectacular 17th-century Château de Wideville just outside of Paris.

This morning, Kim took to Instagram to share never-released-before images of the day. She can be seen posing up with her then soon-to-be husband, Italian-born designer Valentino, and Giancarlo Giammetti – the fashion house's honorary president. 

In total, a group of 20 – mostly clad in Valentino – was in attendance. Naturally, her sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie were all present – as was her mother, Kris, and grandmother, Mary Jo.

Her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, did not go along, opting instead to stay in central Paris to rest and relax before the big day itself.

At an intimate launch for Valentino: At The Emperor's Table, a big, glossy book released last year, Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley revealed that Valentino only arranged to hold the day-time soiree when he met Kim briefly at the Met Ball in New York on May 5 – less than three weeks before the event itself took place. 

He also said that the brunch kicked-off at 1pm, but had wrapped up two-and-a-half hours later.

Mr West, 37, proposed to Ms Kardashian on her 33rd birthday in October 2013, renting out San Francisco’s AT&T Park for the occasion. It was Kanye's first wedding, though Kim has been married twice before.

Lady Gaga is one lucky lady while preparing for her big day with Taylor Kinney.

She has had a whopping 30 dresses custom made for her.

She took to Twitter to say: "Thanku to all the very special&generous designers who designed over 30 wedding dresses 4 the most important day of my life. I'm speechless."

She had previously said about the dress: "It will be totally for Taylor. It’s all about my man.”

"I haven’t really thought about anything specific yet. But whatever it is, it will be totally for him,” she added.

Hmmm, we're not sure she needs 30 though unless she is planning a lot of outfit changes on the day.

The pair are reported to be having a family celebration for their wedding.

Tony Bennett has confirmed that he will do the singing.

"They invited me to do it and, of course, I will,” he said.

This is Gaga we're talking about, we're expecting many surprises.

For anyone waiting for Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klistchko to walk down the aisle, you might be waiting a while.

The couple are just too busy at the moment to put time towards a wedding. 

Both are tied up with their careers and hectic schedules and have to put time towards parenthood. 

Hayden gave birth to daughter Kaya five months ago.

"I have all the faith in the world in him, and in fact, I think being a father has made him even more aggressive and dangerous. He's a papa bear!" says Hayden about her boxer fiance.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Wladimir seems to be content with his family and doesn't need a wedding to prove it.

"Now is for now — when people get married there are different things they promise to each other and I understand the promising part, but I think [having] children is something that connects you until the end of your days no matter what," he said.

He went on: "And I think that, Kaya, our daughter, has connected us forever. And that's the most amazing thing. Everything else is coming, it's something that needs to be planned … but as I said, the connection with the child is better than any marriage!"

Awww.

We have to agree with him on this one, still hoping for a wedding soon though.

Michelle Keegan has had her final dress-fitting ahead of her forthcoming nuptials to Mark Wright.

The 27-year-old actress was spotted attending her appointment at the upmarket Brown’s Brides in the central London area of Marylebone, close to Oxford Street.

“There isn’t much I can tell you about my wedding dress,” the actress recently told Closer magazine, “but I will say it’s ivory. I designed it myself, so I’m really excited about it.”

It is widely rumoured that Michelle will marry her reality TV star fiancé this weekend at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, which is described as a “premiere” wedding venue.

This stunning venue will host the pair's wedding shortly

 

The bride-to-be wore a simple white t-shirt, faded black skinny jeans, and black wedges for her fitting, shielding her eyes with aviator sunglasses. She also sported a deep tan – the result, no doubt, of her recent hen party in Dubai.

As well as making a name for himself in The Only Way Is Essex, Mark Wright has appeared on I’m A Celebrity, and Strictly Come Dancing.

The pair have been dating since December 2012, when they met at a party in Dubai. They were engaged nine months later, with Mark saying shortly afterwards in an interview: It didnt take me long to realise that Michelle is everything I wanted.

Michelle is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.

Brown’s Brides is a favourite of well-to-do Londoners, and stocks the likes of Vera Wang, Marchesa, and Valentino.

Wedding season is just around the corner and while we're extremely excited, it is also a stressful thought having to plan so many outfits. The style can easily vary depending on the location of the wedding and the time, so it is good to know what trend you're looking to show off. 

The latest collection from River Island carries numerous style options, making it a must on your next shopping trip. 

Yellow short sleeve mesh detail dress, €51. Maxi dress, €55. Pink lace bodycon dress, €50. 

 

Summer is all about quirky prints and bright colours. If you're heading off to a beach wedding you may want to invest in a maxi dress and a pair of strappy sandals. 

For a church wedding, elegance is key. Team a delicately patterned dress with a cute clutch and add a pair of heels.

Grey trousers, €50. Mid block heel sandals, €50.
Oversized floppy hat, €33. Blue waistcoat, €75. 

 

Hitting the city should be done in stylish sophistication, think a waistcoat and smart trousers with chunky jewellery and an eye-catching handbag.

As Geri Halliwell is set to marry Christian Horner today at the Woburn Estate in Bedfordshire, we were hoping for a Spice Girls reunion.

Unfortunately, Victoria Beckham and Mel C will not be able to make it due to work arrangements.

As Mel B and Emma Bunton will be attending, their children are going to walk Geri down the aisle.

How sweet.

Geri's own daughter, nine-year-old Bluebell, will be joined by Emma's sons, Beau, seven, and Tate, four. Mel B's three-year-old daughter Madison will also join them.

A source told The Sun: “Geri wanted her wedding to be a family affair with her own immediate relatives and her Spice Girls family."

“The Spice Girls were an important part of her life and she’s over the moon that Mel and Emma’s children can play a part,” they added. 

Christian's parents are choosing not to attend the celebrations as they are still upset that he broke up with his partner of 14 years, Beverly Allen.

A source revealed to the Mirror: “Geri and Christian are disappointed that his parents aren’t coming, but all his brothers, close family and pals with be there.”

We bet it will be a lovely day.

If you previously thought you had a chance at romance with One Direction's Liam Payne, think again. The heartthrob has been in a relationship with girlfriend Sophia Smith for two years now, and according to Heat, the pair are about to get much more serious. 

Heat claimed Liam was spotted being picked up from his hotel and driven to a celebrity wedding planners house in LA.

Okay but before you start digging into a huge tub of ice cream and listening to Gotta Be You, a representative for Liam told Mirror Celeb that the rumours about him driving to the home of Mindy Weiss are in fact not true. 

"This is a completely fabricated story by Heat Magazine. Liam has not met with any wedding planners," they said.

Phew! Everybody relax. 

Despite the wedding rumours being false, Liam has raised speculation that the pair are living together after tweeting: "@robdyrdek watching fantasy factory so amazing. My girlfriend isn't gunna be happy when she gets home and there's a foam pit in the lounge".

We bet he makes her tea and pancakes every morning… adorable, yet a little dream crushing at the same time.

She is one lucky lady.

The highly anticipated wedding of the year is set to take place later this month, but obviously Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan have to get the hens and stag parties out of the way first!

While Michelle Keegan partied in style Dubai with a group of her closest friends, it is clear Mark, who has already had a pre-wedding party, is not going to let his future bride have all the fun!

The TOWIE star is planning on heading to Las Vegas with his mates, but they won’t be getting up to anything worthy of The Hangover as Mark has reportedly banned his friends from taking him to a strip club!

According to sources, while “Mark is definitely up for a laugh” he only wants “good, clean fun without risking any pics surfacing of him with half-naked girls [sic]”

Well, at least he has his priorities straight!

After those beautiful pics of Michelle in Dubai, we can’t wait for photos of the wedding, and her dress, obvs!
