Golfer Rory McIlroy looked visibly upset at a press conference ahead of his latest tour****nt today after announcing he had broken off his five-month engagement to tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
The major winner and former world number one said the high-profile split was ‘mutual and amicable’ after confirming the relationship had ended because he realised he was not ready for marriage.

‘There is never a good time to end a relationship,’ he said, before taking to the Wentworth course in Surrey for the PGA Championship.

McIlroy: Wozniacki split mutual and amicable – time to move on

The 25-year-old looked downbeat as he answered questions about the split, which was announced just hours before the tour****nt kicked off.

He said the decision to call off the engagement was both ‘mutual and amicable’ and said it would be difficult to concentrate on the tour****nt on the back of a public break-up.
‘I’m not going to lie, it’s going to be really difficult but when I get inside the ropes I’m going to have to try and concentrate on the matter in hand,’ he said.

‘I want to keep myself somewhat busy and have a good week on the course.

‘There is never a good time to end a relationship, I guess. I made a commitment to be here and I thought my duty was to play in this event.

‘Obviously (it’s) quite a difficult time for Caroline and myself. It was mutual and amicable and we both thought it was the best for us, the best for both of us.

‘Time to move on and I think I’ve said all that I need to say.’

Last year, McIlroy was warned by Britain’s greatest-ever Golfer Nick Faldo to ‘concentrate on golf’ after a dramatic slump in form, but McIlroy confirmed he had called off the relationship because he wasn’t ready to get married

The pair, who got engaged on New Year’s Day after more than two years together, split just days after sending out their wedding invitations.
In a brief statement issued this morning through his Dublin-****d communications consultants, McIlroy said he was making the announcement publicly after talking to Wozniacki.
‘The problem is mine,’ he said.

‘The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails.
‘I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had.’
Despite being downbeat, he was rather candid when taking questions ahead of the tour****nt, where he is fourth favourite to lift the title on a course that does not suit him.
He chanced a rueful but wide smile when asked about spending the weekend on a course that he ‘loves’.
‘Look, I think I’m no different than anyone else. Everyone has been through break-ups and it’s obviously very, very difficult,’ he said.
‘But look, I’m here to try and concentrate on this week and answer questions about golf and that’s what I’m going to do.’

McIlroy, who is worth an estimated £28million, proposed to the 23-year-old tennis star in Sydney, Australia, on New Year’s Day with a stunning £120,000 diamond ring.

The pair had been together for more than two years.
At the time, the Danish former world No.1, who is worth an estimated £15m, confirmed the news on her Twitter account.
She posted a picture of the engagement ring captioned with: ‘Happy new year everyone! Rory and I started 2024 with a bang! …I said YES!!!!’
He then shared the same picture and added: ‘Happy New Year everyone! I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year!! My first victory of 2024 #shesaidyes!!’
Following the engagement, the pair denied reports they had set a date to tie the knot in August.

As recently as Sunday, McIlroy’s Twitter feed suggested there were no signs of trouble in the relationship after he posted a picture from Nobu restaurant in Monte Carlo where the pair had dinner

The pair have experienced an on/off relationship during their time together.
Sources close to the high-profile couple claimed the Irish Golfer broke it off with Wozniacki in April last year – days after she posted a picture on Twitter showing him asleep and open-mouthed with his glasses on.

Friends at the time said there was no way back and the tennis ace was described as being ‘absolutely devastated’.

But she was then spotted among the gallery watching McIlroy at the Dubai World Championships in November. It was the first time the Danish tennis star had been seen at a golf event since she donned caddies’ overalls for the par three tour****nt at the Masters back in April.
Earlier in 2024, McIlroy was warned by Britain’s greatest-ever Golfer Nick Faldo to ‘concentrate on golf’ after a dramatic slump in form.
Last December the pair were forced to deny rumours they were engaged after Wozniacki was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring on her wedding ring finger.
Speculation first began when the tennis star was seen flashing the diamond and sapphire jewel as she arrived at Brisbane International Airport.
However, it’s also tradition for Danish women to wear their engagement and wedding rings on the right hands.

They eventually confirmed their engagement on New Year’s Day after McIlroy, who won the U.S. Open in 2024 and the U.S. PGA Championship in 2024, proposed during a fireworks show on New Year’s Eve in Sydney.

The pair have experienced an on/off relationship during their time together but had been dating for around two years when they confirmed their engagement on New Year’s Day

Following the engagement, Wozniacki sported a large diamond ring, said to be worth about £120,000, and all was seemingly well.
In an interview last month with Danish magazine, Lime, she even told how she dreamed of becoming a young mother.
She said: ‘I want to be a relatively young mother, and I do not see it as being too far in the future. I have always been like that. I would want to bring up my children.
‘Therefore, I have no dream to make my mark. Instead, I enjoy economic freedom my hard work has given me. It means that I can give my children the best start in life.’
However, shortly afterwards, her agent John Tobias insisted that the tennis player was firmly focused on the sport.
He said: ‘Caroline’s previous comments stand – but she is 100 per cent focused on tennis at the moment and hoping to do well in Madrid this week.’
The first potential sign of trouble in the relationship came shortly afterwards though when the pair said they were ‘working on it’ after being quizzed about a date for their big day.
However, as recently as Sunday, McIlroy’s Twitter feed showed no sign of the engagement being called off when he posted a picture from Nobu restaurant in Monte Carlo where the pair had dinner.
The wedding was expected to take place in New York on November 8 and was set to be one of the celebrity engagements of the year with no expenses spared.

Friends of the golfer, including former US President Bill Clinton, are among those who were thought to have received invitations sent via an American wedding planner.

In a statement, McIlroy, pictured with Wozniacki in 2024, said: ‘The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails’

Following the announcement of the split, a member at McIlroy’s home club, Holywood Golf Club in the hills overlooking Belfast, said people’s thoughts would be with the now-estranged couple.
Derek Reade, a former club president, said: ‘It is obviously a very disappointing event. Any sort of break-up of this kind is very disturbing.’

Mr Reade recalled whisperings about the couple’s relationship in the past when reports circulated in the media last year that they had broken up.
‘You have to wonder about some of these things. The only thing people here heard about was the last time they were supposed to have broken up,’ he said.
Wozniacki, who was born in Denmark to Polish parents, reached world number one in her own sport in 2024 but has yet to win a Grand Slam.
The tennis ace now sits at number 14 in the world rankings with the French Open at Roland Garros coming up next week.

McIlroy suffered a difficult golfing season last year and said he had considered seeing a sports psychologist to help overcome his issues.

At the time, he said: ‘I’m just playing thoughtless, brain-dead golf and I feel like I have been playing like that for the last couple of months.’

‘It has nothing to do with technique, it is all mental. Sometimes I feel like I am walking around out there and I am unconscious.

‘I’m trying to focus and trying to concentrate, but I really can’t fathom it at the minute. It is a very alien feeling, something I’ve never felt before.’
In the past, when he has been asked about seeing a sports psychologist, he has always batted the question away but on the most recent occasion he said: ‘I have worked with Bob (Rotella, the most noted **** in this field), who has worked with Padraig Harrington and Darren Clarke before, and it could be beneficial to see someone like that again.’
McIlroy is currently involved in a lengthy legal battle with his former management company in the courts in Dublin over commissions from his lucrative sports sponsorship and endorsement contracts.

The golf star, who has a £12m a year contract with Nike, claims he has paid more than £4m ****d on unreasonable fee rates much higher than the norm in the sports agency industry

PARIS — French President Francois Hollande has split with the country’s First Lady two weeks after a tabloid reported that the leader was having an affair with an actress, an official said Saturday.

A presidential aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the matter, confirmed that Hollande ended his seven-year Relationship with Valerie Trierweiler.

The breakup was First reported by French news agency Agence France Presse, which said Hollande told it in a telephone conversation Saturday evening that "I make it known that I have put an end" to the Relationship with Trierweiler.

Hollande, who has four children with former presidential candidate Segolene Royal, told the news agency that he was speaking in a personal capacity and not as head of state.

He and Trierweiler have lived together since 2024, and while they’re unmarried, Trierweiler occupied the so-called madame wing of the presidential palace, travelled abroad with Hollande and functioned as the First lady.

Hollande had dodged questions about Trierweiler’s status since a Jan. 14 news conference at which he refused to say whether the 48-year-old journalist was still the First lady.

Those questions surged to the front pages of the world’s newspapers after Closer magazine reported that 59-year-old Hollande was having an affair with Julie Gayet, a 41-year-old actress. The magazine published photos showing a man it said was the president, wearing a helmet and seated on the back of a scooter, allegedly being taken to a rendezvous with Gayet.

Trierweiler checked into a hospital for a weeklong stay after the tabloid’s report about the affair, during which suspense continued to build over the next twist in the love triangle.

Hollande promised at his news conference to clear up confusion over the identity of his First Lady before a scheduled Feb. 11 state visit to the U.S.

A Hollande biographer said the public disintegration of his Relationship with Trierweiler had to be very difficult on him.

Hollande is "someone who is totally modest and reserved, so to go through this in public must be terrible for him," said Serge Raffy, whose 2024 biography "The President" was published shortly after Hollande was elected.

After Trierweiler’s hospital stay, she spent several days to rest at a presidential residence in the formal royal haunt of Versailles.

The President and Trierweiler are both scheduled to spend several days abroad. She is headed on a humanitarian trip to India on Sunday and Hollande is travelling to Turkey on an official visit Monday.

Hollande remains one of the most unpopular presidents in French history, but his approval ratings were nearly unchanged after news his Relationship was on the rocks began to spread.

It wasn’t clear what security detail Trierweiler might have in India. Her spokesman, Patrice Biancone, didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press.

The affair has led to much hand-wringing in the French media about whether the country’s famous laissez-faire attitude about presidential infidelities was breaking down, as well as a debate over the border between a president’s public and private life.

A spokesman for parliamentary Socialists, Thierry Mandon, said on BFM TV that France doesn’t need a First lady.

"We’re not in a traditionally Anglo-Saxon country where the private life is dramatized, like in England or even more so in the United States," Mandon said. "We’re in a republic, and in a republic those with legitimacy are those who’ve been elected."

On the streets of Paris, opinions were divided over how to view Hollande’s breakup.

"He hid that from us. What else is he hiding?" restaurant **** Herve Charriere said.

Clara Rosenbois, a 23-year-old law student, was more forgiving of the president.

"I find it honest to clarify and at last make a decision like a man," Rosenbois said. "He should act the same way in politics, in an upright manner."

Naomi Judd Talks About Complicated Relationship With Daughters

Love can build a bridge — but are the Judds willing to cross it? Naomi Judd and Daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd have a very Complicated relationship, fraught With old wounds that have been reopened time and time again, often in the public eye. Asked About their current dynamic during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live this past Wednesday, Nov. 12, 68-year-old matriarch Naomi chose her words carefully.

"Wynonna is staying out on the road so stinkin’ much, singing," the songstress began of her eldest daughter, 50, With whom she formed the country duo The Judds in the 1980s. "Ashley, I know, is in the Smoky Mountains, hiking."
"And everything’s good With you and your daughters?" WWHL host and Bravo exec Andy Cohen interrupted, trying to get to the heart of the question. "Everything’s good?"
"Yeah…" Naomi said hesitantly, "but it’s that mother-daughter relationship, you know?"

Geographically speaking, at least, the trio are as tight as they’ve ever been. "We live in a valley, a very remote valley — it’s called Peaceful Valley [in Tennessee]," she said With a little giggle, seeming to acknowledge the irony of the name given the family’s less-than-peaceful history. "We try! Wynonna lives over the hill behind me, and Ashley lives up the road. It’s a compound. W.A.C.O. — we ain’t comin’ out!"

Physical proximity, of course, is no guarantee of any kind of emotional closeness. All three were living in Leiper’s Fork, Tenn., when Wynonna married Cactus Moser in 2024, and neither Naomi nor Hollywood actress Ashley was invited to the nuptials. "She probably doesn’t even know [about the wedding]," Wynonna said at the time of her younger sister, 46, whose 2024 memoir All That Is Bitter and Sweet created a rift in the family With its allegations of "trauma, abandonment, addiction, and shame."
"We just don’t have a lot of contact right now, if any, because we’re all doing our own thing," the singer explained, adding that they planned to sit down With a life coach and "re-evaluate" what each of them wanted out of the relationship.
"I don’t agree With anything she says half the time," Wynonna told Us several months later. "We’re so different. But I love my sister."

Angel Haze Talks Ireland Baldwin Relationship: ‘We’re Not Friends, We F***’

Angel Haze has spoken out about her relationship with Ireland Baldwin and made it clear that despite being labelled as ‘friends’ by certain parts of the media, they are most definitely romantically involved. The US rapper started dating the model daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin after the pair were introduced by Ireland’s cousin at New York Fashion Week.

Ireland Baldwin and Angel Haze But Angel, who plays Glastonbury this weekend, remains amused that they are still referred to as ‘friends’, despite the pair regularly uploading affectionate snaps of each on Instagram.
“I don’t know if there’s like some confirm or deny thing with the way relationships work in the media, but everyone just calls us best friends, best friends for life, like we’re just friends hanging out,” she told The Independent. “It’s funny. It’s rad in some ways, it sucks in others.”
“There are still certain limitations for women,” she said. “If we were two guys, it’d be insane, negatively insane with the attention. With us it’s all being very positive, the media are like, ‘Oh they’re so cute, they’re best friends.’

And Angel didn’t hold back when it came to spelling out that her relationship with Ireland is anything but platonic.
"An interracial gay couple, I mean that’s just weird for America right now," she said. "We f**k and friends don’t f**k. I have never f**ked one of my friends. Once I see you in that way, it doesn’t happen.

“But we do f**k and it’s crazy and that’s weird to say because I think about it in terms of an audience reading it and them thinking, ‘What the hell?’ But it happens.”

Earlier this month Angel and 18-year-old Ireland all but confirmed their relationship after sharing a major PDA outside the Sweet Butter Kitchen in Sherman Oaks, California.

They were spotted getting all touchy feely as they left the restaurant with a group of mates.
So, just to confirm, Angel Haze and Ireland Baldwin are in a relationship. Got it? Good.

Lady Gaga submissive in relationship.

From Dlisted.com by Allison. From an interview this morning Sirius XM the Morning Mashup

When asked about her relationship with Kinney, Gaga said:“He’s totally in charge. I mean, when I am home, I am like, shoes are off, I’m making him dinner. He has a job, too, and he is really busy! I’m in charge all day long, the last thing I want to do is tell him what to do. It’s not good for relationships to tell men what to do.”
If you’re wondering what my face looked like after reading that horseshit, take Donna Meagle and multiply it by 200. It’s not good for relationships to tell men what to do? Who the fuck taught her about relationships, Tony Soprano?

–She is so annoying and this makes me want to laugh out loud. Who would listen to Lady Gaga for relationship advice. Ugh.:nm:

Connor Cruise: My Relationship With Mom Nicole Kidman Is "Solid"

Tom Cruise
and Nicole Kidman’s son, Connor Cruise, says he loves his mom and has a "Solid" Relationship With her despite frequent rumors of an estrangementCredit: Scott Barbour/Getty Images; Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Connor Cruise‘s Relationship With mom Nicole Kidman is just fine, thank you very much. Though it’s been years since the Grace of Monaco actress was photographed With either of her two oldest children — son Connor, 19, and daughter Isabella, 21, her kids With ex-husband Tom Cruise — Connor says they’re on great terms. See the latest pics of Connor here.
"I love my mum," the aspiring DJ told Woman’s Day Australia in a recent interview. Then, referring to rumors that he is estranged from the Australian star, now mom to two younger daughters With second husband Keith Urban, he added, "I don’t care what people say, I know that me and Mum are solid."
"I love her a lot," he continued. "My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else."

Kidman’s Relationship With her older children has been the subject of much speculation in recent years, ever since she married Urban in 2024. Back in 2024, she was quoted as telling GMTV that Connor and Bella called her Nicole instead of mom. And in 2024, she lamented that they’d chosen to be With their dad after her 2001 divorce from Cruise.

"They live With Tom, which was their choice," the Hours Oscar winner told Hello! magazine. "I’d love them to live With us, but what can you do?"
(Cruise divorced third wife Katie Holmes in the summer of 2024; the exes share daughter Suri, 7.)
Budding artist Bella has said in the past that the family is still "close," but she also admitted that she sees her mom only "sometimes." That’s due in part to geography; Kidman and Urban, parents to daughter Sunday Rose, 5, and Faith Margaret, 3, split their time between Australia and Nashville.

"Isabella does still speak to Nicole, as does Connor, just not as much as they used to when they were younger and Tom and Nicole were together," a source told Us Weekly back in 2024. "Nicole is far away and doesn’t visit L.A. often so there’s naturally going to be that distance."
Kidman, for her part, has not spoken much about her Relationship With Connor and Bella, except to say she respects their choices. "I’ve chosen not to speak publicly about Scientology," she told Vanity Fair last year. "I have two children who are Scientologists — Connor and Isabella — and I utterly respect their beliefs."

Jerry Hall on her past relationship with Mick Jagger and plastic surgery

Jerry Hall has reflected on her relationship with Mick Jagger, in an exclusive interview and photoshoot with HELLO! magazine. The former model, who looks fabulous at 58, also gave her views on cosmetic surgery.
"My face and **** have been a tool for my career and I’m very conscious of that aspect, and try and keep it the best I can," Jerry told HELLO! magazine, adding that she keeps up a healthy regime of yoga and swimming and tries not to eat bread or sugar.
The blonde beauty, who has four children with Sir Mick, said that she abhors the idea of women undergoing cosmetic surgery.

Jerry Hall has four children with Sir Mick Jagger

"It’s so idiotic when they risk their lives to have surgery," said Jerry. "Every time you have anesthesia, you’re killing a lot of brain cells – why would you do that? You could get infections, you could die.
"Why make yourself look a grotesque caricature of yourself? They don’t fool anyone. They look like pathetic, insecure creatures. I loathe the whole thing.
"I don’t mean to be critical, and I understand that actresses feel the pressure in Hollywood, they have to do it. I respect that and I feel sorry for them that they have to do it.
"But for normal women to do it? If men want to leave their wife for a 19-year-old, they’re gonna do it anyway. All the facelifts and botox in the world isn’t going to change that guy, you know?"

Scientist Armand Leroi and Jerry Hall have been together since January

Speaking about her ex-husband, with whom she’ll be spending Christmas Day with their children, Jerry said: "I genuinely like him – he’s funny, he’s clever, he tries his best and he is also a great father. I think I chose really well – my children are smart, beautiful and talented, so I feel no regrets."
"But he’s not the sort of person I want to spend my old age with," said Jerry, who has been in a relationship with scientist Armand Leroi since January. "Life changes, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Why shouldn’t life change? Move on."
