Megan Fox revealed that her marriage to Brian Austin Green had been ‘unfulfilling’ and admitted to ‘falling in love with other people’ during the course of their long-term relationship. 

The Transformers actress, 37 – who confirmed the end of her engagement to Machine Gun Kelly – got candid about the former couple’s union in the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast on Tuesday. 

The star tied the knot with the Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, 50, in 2010 until their separation in 2020. Their divorce was finalized in 2021 and the pair share three children: Noah, 11, Bodhi, 10 and Journey, seven. 

‘First of all, let me just say, I was not a great girlfriend to Brian. I’ll be very honest,’ Fox admitted to host, Alex Cooper. 

‘And he was not great to me either all the time, but I think it would be easy for me to lean into and complain about or let it seem like that relationship was one way. Maybe I was not great.’

Megan further explained, ‘Because I was young and really should not have been in a relationship of that level of commitment and magnitude.’ 

Both Fox and Green began dating in 2004, when the actress was around 18-years-old and the actor was 31. 

‘I shouldn’t have been involved in that when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. I shouldn’t have been.’ 

The Jennifer’s Body star then recalled that she, ‘did a lot of, like, falling in love with other people all the time.’

‘I would go to work and fall in love because I was a kid. And, yeah, I never had the full freedom to be single and experience that life…’

The mother-of-three continued, ‘And I thought for a minute when I got divorced that that’s what I was gonna do, and I was single for like three weeks.’ 

Earlier this year on his own podcast called …With Brian Austin Green, the actor additionally reflected on first dating Megan when she was only 18. 

‘She didn’t get to experience being a single, young woman at the top of her fucking game,’ he explained, while adding, ‘She was really starting to feel the weight of it.’

Following the separation, Brian has since moved on with Dancing With The Stars pro, Sharna Burgess. 

The two began dating in 2020 and welcomed their first child together in June 2022, followed by their engagement last year in September. He also has another son with ex Vanessa Marcil. 

Fox also started dating rapper Machine Gun Kelly in 2020 and the pair went public with the budding romance later that summer. 

However, despite becoming engaged in January 2022, the actress also revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast that the engagement has ended after a rather turbulent year between the two. 

And while she did give the update about the engagement, she did not confirm the status of their current relationship. 

‘I feel like everyone has such an opinion on your guys relationship. You got engaged, then I think it was called off, then we don’t know what’s going on with you. How would you describe your relationship with MGK?’ Alex Cooper asked.

Megan responded, ‘I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption, so I think as of now, I don’t have a comment on like the status of the relationship per say.’ 

‘What I can say is that is what I refer to as being my twin soul and there will always be a tether to him no matter what. I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow.’

‘Beyond that I’m not willing to explain. But all those things you said were accurate things that have occurred and I can see them being confusing or interesting to people and them being like, “What’s up?”‘

Megan and MGK met on the set of Midnight In The Switchgrass back in 2020 and began dating that year.

They never shied their affection for one another in public, often putting on PDA-packed displays wherever they went.

In 2022 they became engaged, and when announcing their betrothal on Instagram, Megan said she and MGK ‘drank each other’s blood’ to celebrate the occasion.

But just over a year later, Megan sensationally hinted she had split from MGK as she shared a cryptic Instagram post before completely deleting her account.

The actress posted a video in which she appeared to burn a letter in a bonfire, along with a bag.

She also uploaded a very raunchy string of mirror selfies while joined by a male pal, in which she put on a busty display in a plunging black top and cut-out trousers.

Fox then removed all traces of Machine Gun Kelly from her Instagram grid, having unfollowed him before deleting her account altogether.

Ultimately they seemed to patch things up and things appear to be all well between them now, with the couple recently seen going on a getaway to Mexico together.

'What I can say is that is what I refer to as being my twin soul and there will always be a tether to him no matter what. I can't say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow,' she said

The rapper also recently tattooed his entire upper body in black ink, reportedly to prove to Megan that he is 100% committed to their relationship.

Fox also prioritizes raising her three children and co-parenting with ex, Brian. His fiancee, Sharna, discussed the topic last year on the Whine Down With Jana Kramer podcast. 

‘And [Megan’s] very much a part of our life, and we’ll always be connected because of the kids.’ 

‘So we are all family. So there’s no bad feelings there to be like that cannot be in this house,’ the dancer added. 

In Tuesday’s episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Megan admitted that she ‘loses a lot of sleep’ when it comes to her children being in the public eye, and said, ‘I know one of them is going to be in the public, probably all three of them.’

‘They’re drop-dead gorgeous kids and both of their parents are actors in the industry so it’s likely they’re going to have some type of public platform at a certain point. I worry about that every day.’ 

She then revealed her children were not ‘raised with screens, and they don’t have iPads or anything like that or phones.’ 

‘I can’t keep that up forever, eventually, that will happen, I’m trying to delay it as long as possible, but when they get a little bit older.’ 

‘It’s still too early and I don’t want to put the weight of my experience on them. I want them to have their own experience and I don’t want to pre-load it by being like, “This is all the suffering that Mommy’s been through.”‘

The Princess Royal and the Duchess of Edinburgh proved they make quite a power duo when they co-hosted a reception for Korean War veterans today.

Anne, 73, and Sophie, 59, stood in for King Charles III, 75, as he continued cancer treatment, appearing cheerful as they chatted with attendees at Buckingham Palace, central London.

The pair greeted several veterans at the intimate event, which commemorated the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.

Despite King Charles’ physical absence, the monarch added a personal touch to the reception and delivered a message through Anne.

Charles explained that his absence from the event has left him “disappointed” and “frustrated” but that he is “very grateful to the Princess Royal and the Duchess of Edinburgh for their contribution.”

As they marked the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, the royal family wanted to honor the approximately 60,000 British and 50,000 Commonwealth soldiers who served in the Korean War.

Anne looked chic in a tunic dress as she had a light-hearted chat with attendees.

She swapped her usual muted sunglasses for a bright blue dress, accessorized with a luxurious brooch.

The princess’ hair was done up in a classic updo and she added an element of glamor to her ensemble with a vibrant shade of red lipstick.

Elsewhere, Sophie appeared in good spirits as she shook hands with guests, including Remembrance director Philippa Rawlinson.

The late queen’s daughter-in-law looked typically elegant and opted for a stylish satin dress with a floral print.

The Duchess styled her blonde locks into a bun and wore a glamorous face of makeup, accentuating her eyes with dark mascara and eye shadow.

The mother-of-two added glitter to her outfit and wore a pair of earrings with an opulent bronze stone.

In his message conveyed through Anne, Charles outlined his thoughts on the event. He wrote: “I am delighted that so many of you can attend today’s reception, a rather belated gathering, I’m afraid, to mark the seventy years that have passed since the end of the Korean War.

‘It has been a personal ambition of mine to invite all of you, in whatever form, to Buckingham Palace to recognize this important milestone and to ensure that you are all most meritoriously honored for your gallant service over seventy years past.

‘You can therefore imagine how extremely disappointed and frustrated I am that I cannot be with you in person… I can only hope that you are well looked after in my absence and I am the Princess Royal and Duchess of Edinburgh , because she vouched for me.

‘As you know only too well, some 60,000 British and 50,000 Commonwealth soldiers served in the Korean War, alongside our United Nations allies. During the armistice in July 1953, President Eisenhower declared: “We will strive ardently to see that this armistice will in fact bring free peoples one step closer to their goal of a world at peace.”

“Thanks to those of you who were present and those you fought alongside, the free peoples of the Republic of Korea continue to experience democratic freedom and have proudly kept the peace ever since.

This lasting legacy was further commemorated during the recent Korean state visit, when President Yoon himself stated that Korea today would not have the political freedom, economic prosperity and thriving culture that has expanded far beyond its borders, without your courage all those years ago. ‘

Charles concluded: “In a world where freedoms are constantly challenged and our values ​​are under scrutiny, your selfless courage and steadfast pursuit of peace are guiding principles that have not been forgotten and that continue to inspire generations to come.

“We greet all who remain among us, and express our most sincere and eternal gratitude to those who have gone before us. Your service and your sacrifice will echo through the ages.”

Princess Elisabeth of Belgium has taken time away from her studies to carry out a rare royal assignment as she welcomes a very special guest to her home country.

The 20-year-old royal, who is studying at the University of Oxford, hosted former US President Barack Obama this weekend as she joined her father, King Philippe, in Brussels.

Elisabeth looked statuesque in a sharp royal blue suit with a wrap jacket and wide-leg trousers as she smiled next to the ex-president, who was flanked on the other side by the Belgian monarch.

Although the Belgian royal family welcomed a very special guest of honour, it was Elisabeth who seemed to steal the show as fans took to social media to praise her stunning outfit and professionalism.

After the Belgian Royal Palace posted the photo of the three figures on Instagram, the photo was flooded with comments in praise of the future Queen of Belgium.

“The Crown Princess looks amazing in blue,” one person wrote.

Another said: ‘What a beautiful blue outfit for the princess.’

Many royal fans were happy to see their future queen fulfilling royal duties as she is currently putting her studies first.

‘Wow for Princess Elisabeth!’ one person wrote and added: ‘The king can be proud of his daughter.’

The princess’s appearance comes after speculation about her love life was quashed at Oxford University amid reports she was dating an ‘ordinary’ young man.

Belgian media reported last month that the 20-year-old had found love with 20-year-old Nicholas Dodd from Rochdale.

It was reported that the couple met when Elisabeth began studying history and politics at Lincoln College.

Mr. Dodd is studying History at the same university according to Het Laatste Nieuws, a Dutch-language newspaper based in Antwerp, Belgium.

The local publication, citing a “key source,” claimed that “ordinary” Nicholas and the princess had an “instant bond” after ending up in the same study group and developing a relationship that “transcends friendship.”

However, the rumors were quashed when Dodd’s family said the reports were ‘false’.

‘They just go to the same university and study together. Like all his other friends, I cannot comment further,” an unnamed family member said Manchester Evening News.

When asked about the rumors, the Royal Palace declined to comment, according to the French-language Belgian television channel RTL.

“We do not respond to rumors about the private lives of members of the royal family,” the statement said.

Nicholas is described as an ‘intelligent and inquisitive young man’, who appeared on the Rochdale Sixth Form College website after being accepted into the University of Oxford.

He wrote: ‘I applied to Oxford because I wanted the opportunity to study at a world-class university.

‘I felt I should apply as there was nothing to lose by trying! It was also rewarding because the experience developed my analytical skills. Even if my application fails, the skills I learned will still help me now and in approaching my work in the future.

‘I would recommend applying to Oxbridge even if you have doubts. You have nothing to lose and if you spend some time on it, it will be a valuable experience in itself,” he added.

Princess Elisabeth, born on October 25, 2001, is the eldest of the four children of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium.

When her father became king in 2013, Elisabeth became heir to the throne and Duchess of Brabant.

Elisabeth began attending royal engagements from an early age and was only nine when she gave a speech at the opening of the Princess Elisabeth Children’s Hospital.

Nicholas, on the other hand, went to Rochdale Sixth Form and lives with his mother in a £300,000 house during the school year, after losing his father Andrew to cancer in 2007.

Like a number of other European monarchs, including Princess Leonor of Spain and Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, Elisabeth attended Atlantic College in Wales before moving to Oxford.

The school curriculum, nicknamed ‘Hippie Hogwarts’, includes unusual activities such as Tai Chi and Tibetan literature. It has a remarkable cliff-top location in a 12th-century castle in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Elisabeth enrolled on a two-year, £67,000 course to study for her International Baccalaureate diploma at the school, which she has now completed.

Before her two-year education in Wales, she attended the Dutch-language secondary school Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Brussels. The Princess also attended the Yale Young Global Scholars Program at Yale University.

She then completed a one-year course in social and military sciences at the Royal Military Academy, which would provide in-depth instruction in the four components of Belgian defense: army, air force, navy and medical care.

In addition to her education, the Princess began studying history and politics at Lincoln College, Oxford, in October 2021. Here she rows for the Lincoln College Boat Club under the name ‘Elisabeth de Saxe-Coburg’.

According to the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, the princess took a written history entrance exam ‘anonymously’ so that her social status would not affect her grades.

It is believed that Elisabeth chose the course herself, in consultation with her parents, and reportedly consulted with graduates from various universities and made her decision based on what would be most useful to her in her role as queen later in her life.

Elisabeth is a talented 21-year-old in every way and, according to the official royal website, she enjoys walking in nature, reading and playing the piano – although her taste in music, like “all young people her age”, it writes palace, ‘is varied.’

The pregnant fiancée of a British-born police officer who died at his engagement party in Australia has been left “shattered”, her friends said, as neighbors described hearing their party suddenly give way to blood-curdling screams.

Liam Trimmer, 29, and his fiancée Lilly Watts threw a party at their home in Perth, Western Australia, on Sunday night, which continued into Monday morning.

In addition to celebrating their engagement, the couple also announced to loved ones that they were expecting their first child.

But the happy moment ended in tragedy when Mr Trimmer fell and severed a carotid artery in his neck, killing him almost instantly.

Mrs Watts – who is 14 weeks pregnant – was photographed on Wednesday during a short outing with her family. She told Daily Mail Australia that her “soulmate” fiancé “will always be the love of my life and our baby will know what an amazing man he was.”

The party continued late into the night when – around 1am – Mr Trimmer, who moved to Australia from Britain as a teenager, fell.

Mrs Watts is a nurse and the guests at the party consisted largely of police officers and healthcare workers who did everything they could to save his life.

However, his injuries were too serious and he could not be saved.

The Watts family were spotted walking their dog on the local streets on Wednesday, with the young mum-to-be wearing her engagement ring.

Ms Watts told Daily Mail Australia of her grief, saying her fiancé was ‘really excited to be a father’.

“I have never known love like Liam and this heartbreak and emptiness is so overwhelming,” she said. “He will always be the love of my life and our baby will know the wonderful man he was.”

Earlier that day, Mel Kelly, a close friend of Ms. Watts, created one GoFundMe page to raise money for the single mother.

The appeal raised more than $110,000 Australian dollars (£56,000) in less than 24 hours, and as of Thursday had raised more than $125,000 AUD (£64,000).

Ms Kelly wrote: ‘Lilly’s world was shattered by a freak accident that claimed the life of her beloved fiancé.

‘The evening was intended to be a joyful celebration of Lilly and Liam’s recent engagement and the announcement of their pregnancy, a huge milestone in their journey together.

‘Friends and family gathered to share in their happiness. In a cruel turn of events, Liam’s life was cut short, leaving a void that can never be filled.”

She said Mrs Watts had lost her ‘soulmate’, who now faces the prospect of raising her child alone while juggling living costs.

Ms Watts’ mother, Channy Watts, declined to comment on the tragedy when contacted on Thursday.

Neighbors have since described hearing the party from their homes, and how loud music was suddenly interrupted by shouting.

A neighbor said: ‘We don’t know what happened but they were outside and one of the boys turned on a megaphone at 1am, the music was loud, then the shouting and then nothing. We heard screams coming from girls – like gigantic, high-pitched screams.

‘We thought maybe something had happened. Maybe someone fell or got hurt.”

Another said the music was so loud she considered calling the police to file a noise complaint, before the party ended abruptly.

She said: ‘I’m new to the area so I didn’t want to be a party pooper but it was almost 1am on Monday morning, it sounded like there were over 50 people there.’

An elderly couple who live across the street from Ms Watts and Mr Trimmer said they also heard noise from the party and were initially relieved when it was over.

“We didn’t think much about it, but we did notice that the police left the next day with a van full of stuff,” the woman said.

Mr Trimmer was originally from Britain but moved to Australia in 2013 and joined the police force.

His career began at the WA Police Academy in Joondalup and featured in the British TV series ‘Wanted Down Under’, where he gave teenagers advice about life in Australia before migrating.

He later joined the gang and the tactical response group.

He held various posts while in the force, including in regional parts of the state, and took part in ‘Movember’ with officers from Kalgoorlie Police Station.

In the days following his death, friends and colleagues took to social media to pay tribute to Mr Trimmer.

A friend described him as ‘possibly the strongest guy’ in a local trekking group.

“Great sense of humor and a passion to excel,” they wrote.

“In my opinion, society cannot afford to lose guys like Liam [who had] the courage to go into the oven every day and deal with the ‘tough side of police work’.

“The boys are sore this week, but they have continued with major training and domestic operations.”

Another friend replied, “He was like that from day one [police] academy – you couldn’t help but not like him.”

A third person wrote: “It’s been a sad few days at the office.”

‘Lots of hugs and lots of tears. But… the boys continue with it and get stuck in their training. Hopefully it’s a good distraction.’

Speaking to a local radio station, Police Commissioner Col Blanch described Mr Trimmer as a ‘deeply loved’ and respected officer with ‘his whole life ahead of him’.

“I know that if my phone rings early in the morning from a senior officer, it’s usually not good news, and tragically it wasn’t,” he said.

“I know everyone involved is really hurting right now, and I think they wish they could just wake up from this nightmare.”

The cause of the accident has not been confirmed.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

A video has emerged of Meghan Markle cooking traditional Afghan food with a group of 15 women who resettled in the US from Afghanistan.

The Duchess of Sussex created The Welcome Project in 2023 as part of her work with the Archewell Foundation, which she set up together with Prince Harry.

Archewell previously revealed how Meghan had joined the Southern California Welcome Project for an ‘evening of cooking and storytelling’ on February 10.

Now, a clip has now been posted on the Archewell Foundation website of the visit, which shows the Duchess wearing an apron branded with her organisation’s name.

Meghan, 42, was filmed joining the group of women cooking traditional Afghan food including Ashak and Mantuu, which are both types of dumpling.

It comes just days after the Duchess appeared in London via video link to open a new wing of an animal charity named in honour of her late friend Oli Juste – with the announcement of her virtual visit made via her and Harry’s new Sussex.com website.

And the remote charity appearance came shortly after Prince Harry was reported to have expressed an interest in returning to the royal fold in order to help his father, King Charles III, while the monarch is treated for cancer.

An Archewell press release on Meghan’s Welcome Project visit said the women then discussed ‘their personal stories and the support they find from this intergenerational group of women’.

The visit was in partnership with Mina’s List, an organisation based in New York which has worked with women activists and political leaders in Afghanistan since 2014.

Archewell said that in 2021, Mina’s List helped evacuate and resettle over 2,000 Afghan women and families ‘through independent and coalition efforts’ – many of whom resettled in Southern California.

Mina’s List and Archewell then ‘joined forces to provide community and support to these remarkable women as they begin to rebuild their lives in the US’.

Meghan is said to have been inspired to set up the project following her work with the Hubb Community Kitchen in West London in 2017 which was organised by a group of survivors from the Grenfell Tower fire.

Archewell states that the project was launched to create ‘a safe haven and inclusive environment for women who have recently resettled in the US from Afghanistan’.

It adds that the project has ‘a belief in the power of connection and a goal of uplifting communities’, and ‘supports the creation of programming for women who have recently resettled from Afghanistan’.

There are said to be 11 active Welcome Projects across the US ‘designed to foster a sense of belonging through activities including sewing, art, hiking, swimming, photography, storytelling, and cooking’.

Archewell also says: ‘By facilitating women-based programming, The Welcome Project also brings access to critical resources and opportunities that not only supports the women participating in The Welcome Project, but also improves the lives of those around them – their families and their communities.’

The video is located in the ‘programs’ section of the Archewell Foundation website – which is different to the new Sussex.com website that launched earlier this month.

It came days after Meghan appeared in London via video link to open a new wing of an animal charity named in honour of her late friend Oli Juste – with the announcement of her virtual visit also made via her and Harry’s glossy new Sussex.com website.

The Duchess of Sussex emotionally told how dog trainer Mr Juste’s sudden death in January 2022 left her heartbroken as his friends and family gathered at the Mayhew in the north-west of the capital, where the Oli Juste wing was unveiled in his name.

A photo shared on Harry and Meghan’s new website – the subject of controversy because of the prominence of its royal branding – showed a beaming Duchess in a beige coat crouching down and petting a dog.

Meghan had been patron of The Mayhew, said to be her favourite animal charity, since 2019, holding the role in a private capacity after being introduced to it by friend Mr Juste.

But she stepped down from the role in 2022, one year after she and Harry moved to California.

In the video message watched by Mr Juste’s friends and family, Meghan said: ‘A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team at Mayhew who have worked tirelessly to bring this dream to life.

‘It was so important to find a way to celebrate Oli’s memory in a manner that he would have loved.

‘Mayhew is a beacon of hope for those in need and a shining example of what can be achieved when we work together.’

A statement on Sussex.com recounted the duchess’ bond with Mr Juste, saying: ‘They shared many things throughout their friendship, among which was a deep commitment to animal welfare and a love of rescue dogs.’

It added: ‘The Oli Juste Wing is a testament to his unwavering love and commitment to our furry friends, and will improve the lives of countless animals, reminding us all of the power of compassion, connection, and care.’

The remote charity appearance comes days after Prince Harry was reported to have expressed an interest in returning to the royal fold in order to help his father, King Charles III, while the monarch is treated for cancer.

Buckingham Palace announced that His Majesty was undergoing treatment for an unspecified form of the disease on Monday February 5; it had been discovered while the King was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate.

A day later, Harry flew to the UK for a very short visit with his father, who continues to carry out his constitutional duties but has stepped back from public appearances.

Since then, reports suggest the Duke of Sussex has expressed an interest among friends to take up a temporary role as a senior royal while his father continues to receive medical care. 

The Times earlier reported that Harry and Charles had shared several ‘warm exchanges’ following the King’s diagnosis and his 30-minute visit to Clarence House.

A source told the paper: ‘On all practical levels it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he’s sick. 

‘Much has been said on both sides in recent years, but that has never diminished the fundamental bond of blood, and there are now pragmatic aspects to consider, with the King and Kate’s wellbeing ­paramount in this.

‘The details of the Clarence House meeting and subsequent conversations are private, but the feeling is that this arrangement could work.’

But royal experts believe that an invite from the palace will not be immediately forthcoming – given previous disparaging comments made by the Duke in a series of interviews and throughout his memoir, Spare. 

Dickie Arbiter, Queen Elizabeth II’s former press secretary, told MailOnline that any expectation of welcoming Harry back into the fold was ‘a big ask’ after his previous comments and allegations.

He said: ‘He (Harry) has rubbished them for four years. I don’t see a forthcoming invitation from the family (to come back). You have got to remember the late Queen made it very clear either you are in or you are out. 

Harry has recently made positive comments in American media interviews following the launch of the 2025 Invictus Games in Whistler, Vancouver in Canada.

The Duke of Sussex told Good Morning America earlier this month the King's cancer diagnosis could have a 'reunifying effect' on the royal family

He told Good Morning America (GMA) his father’s illness could have a ‘reunifying effect’ on the family, adding: ‘I love my family’.

But Mr Arbiter said attempts at reconciliation may have come too late.

‘I can’t see it going anywhere. Harry did suggest in the (GMA) interview it could result in a reconciliation, but it is not much different to the comment he made almost two years ago when he dropped in on the Queen and told the Today show (on NBC) he was just making sure she was protected and had the right people around her.

‘He is good at the soundbite but this whole Whistler trip seems like a great big PR fest off the back of launching their website.’

Earlier this month the royal couple took a tour to Vancouver, Canada, in preparation for the 2025 Winter Invictus Games, ending it with a lavish gala dinner with 200 guests.

Meghan burst into laughter as Michael Bublé sang an alternative version of Frank Sinatra’s My Way at the Sussexes’ Invictus Games send off – including telling Prince Harry ‘I think we know to stay the hell out of your way’. 

Harry, wearing a dark suit and a black tie, then spoke about the Invictus Games telling the audience that the athletes, who are comprised of injured and sick servicemen and women, embodied ‘courage, leadership, and fortitude.’ 

Meghan and Harry had been expected to head home to Montecito, California following three days of Invictus Games events in Whistler and Vancouver but extended their trip by a night to enjoy a party with athletes and organisers.

Although not part of the official schedule and intended to be held away from the media, the gala at the Vancouver Convention Centre was signposted with black and gold Invictus signs.

Jennifer Aniston has sparked engagement rumors after she posed at the SAG Awards wearing a giant diamond ring on her left hand.

The actress, 55, was nominated for her role on The Morning Show but lost to The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki.

She also took the stage with Bradley Cooper to present the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award to Barbra Streisand.

Jennifer dazzled at the ceremony in a figure-hugging silver dress with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit.

But the most eye-catching part of her ensemble was her jewelry, with the Friends star wearing a huge sparkler on her ring finger.

Jennifer is not known to be dating anyone currently, and she has not been romantically linked to anyone in the past five years.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jennifer Aniston for comment.

Jennifer has been married twice before, first to Brad Pitt in 2000, before their divorce in 2005, which became one of the most high-profile divorces in Hollywood.

She then got engaged to Justin Theroux in 2012 and they married three years later, but also split in 2018.

She has also previously dated other famous faces, Paul Rudd, Tate Donovan, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer.

Despite a rocky relationship history, Jennifer is reportedly optimistic that she will find love again in her 50s.

Last summer, a source said UsWeekly: ‘In her gut, Jen believes she will eventually meet the right person.’

But the insider also added that if she never found love again, she would be fine, saying, “She’s not going to beat herself up if it doesn’t happen.” She’s fine on her own.

The ring was clearly visible as she posed with guests including American singer and actress Ciara

‘[Jennifer] is in a great spot. She is happy, healthy and fulfilled by her career, family and friends. [She’s] has been through a lot, but she feels blessed to be thriving both personally and professionally.”

Jennifer herself admitted that she would “like to be in a relationship” in November 2022, but also said that she was not “interested” in getting married again.

When asked if she planned to walk down the aisle again in the future, she said To tempt: ‘Never say never, but I’m not interested in it.’

However, she confessed that she would still be open to love because being single can be overwhelming at times.

Jennifer said: ‘I would love a relationship. Who knows? There are times when I just want to curl up in a ball and say, “I need support.”

‘It would be great to come home and fall into someone’s arms and say, ‘That was a hard day’.’

But the Morning Show star made it clear she didn’t want to start a new relationship until she had time to work on herself and address her early traumas.

She explained: ‘It wouldn’t be fair. I don’t want to live in a house if there are no walls.’

Last year, Jennifer opened up further about the impact her childhood had on her love life, admitting that her romantic relationships have been negatively affected by her parents’ bitter split.

She admitted that her “difficult” childhood experiences didn’t make her desperate to say “yes.”

“It was always a little bit difficult for me in relationships, I think, because I was kind of alone,” she explained in an interview with WJ. Magazine.

‘Don’t know. My parents, who monitored my family’s relationship, didn’t let me say, “Oh, I can’t wait to do that,” she said, referring to her father John Aniston and her mother Nancy Dow.

John, who sadly passed away in November 2022, married Nancy in 1965, but the couple’s relationship ended when Jennifer was just nine years old, and they divorced in 1980.

Speaking about the long-term effects their tumultuous divorce had on her, Jennifer admitted that it felt “easier” to just be alone.

She said, “I didn’t like the idea of ​​sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that.

“So it was almost easier to just kind of be solo.” So I haven’t had any real training in that give and take.’

The Around Came Polly star said she is now focused on making sure she doesn’t sacrifice her own desires to please someone else.

Jennifer explained, “It’s about not being afraid to say what you need and what you want. And it’s still a challenge for me in a relationship.’

“I’m really good at every other job I have, and that’s about the only area that’s a bit…” she added before walking away and joking that her dog is who she “sleeps with.”

He had asked the question no fewer than three times when he finally met the woman he would marry.

After years of speculation about who would be his bride, Prince Charles announced his engagement on February 24, 1981.

His target, of course, was Lady Diana Spencer, and the pair’s romance was seen as a fairy tale – despite an awkward moment in their official interview that left his bride-to-be devastated and seen as a harbinger of their eventual breakup. .

Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer announced their engagement to the world on February 24, 1981

The couple first met during the shooting weekend at Princess Diana's home, Althorp House, Northamptonshire, in November 1977. They met again at a friend's house in 1980.

The couple first met during the shooting weekend at Princess Diana’s home, Althorp House, Northamptonshire, in November 1977. They met again at a friend’s house in 1980.

The pair first met during the filming weekend at Lady Diana’s home at Althorp House, Northamptonshire, in November 1977, when Diana was just 16.

Prince Charles was dating her older sister Sarah at the time, but later recalled: ‘I remember thinking what a cheerful, funny and attractive 16-year-old she was. I mean, really fun, and bouncy and full of life and all that.”

It wasn’t until 1980 that Charles made his move, two years after he ended his relationship with Sarah.

In July 1980, Charles and Diana met again during a weekend at their friend Philip de Pass’s family home in Sussex. In September, Diana was spotted in Balmoral.

After a whirlwind romance, during which the couple had only a handful of dates, Prince Charles proposed to then-19-year-old Diana in 1981 at a private dinner at Buckingham Palace.

They managed to keep the news secret, but at 11am on 24 February it was revealed through a statement from the Lord Chancellor.

“It is with the greatest pleasure that The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh announce the engagement of their beloved son, The Prince of Wales, to Lady Diana Spencer, daughter of the Earl Spencer and the Honorable Mrs. Shand Kydd,” it said.

In their BBC engagement interview at the palace, Charles said he was ‘delighted and downright amazed’ that Diana was willing to take him on, while Diana, looking up shyly through her blonde bangs, described her husband-to-be as ‘handsome’. astonishing’.

When asked if they loved each other during the photo session at Buckingham Palace, Charles’ response to Diana’s “of course” was the unforgettable: “Whatever being in love means.”

At that point, Diana somewhat awkwardly laughed off the shocking comment, which Charles aggravated by adding, “‘In Love’ is open to your own interpretation.”

Years later, however, she told her voice coach in a personal recording that appeared in the documentary Diana: In Her Own Words: ‘I thought: what a big question. So I said, “Yes, of course we are,” and Charles turned around and said, “Whatever love means.”

‘And that really threw me off. I thought: what a strange answer. It traumatized me.’

In the BBC interview, the Prince of Wales explained how, after popping the question, he wanted to give Diana time to consider his offer, but she immediately accepted and moved out of her Kensington apartment to move into Clarence House live until the big day.

That day in February was the first time Diana, wearing a cobalt blue skirt suit from Harrods, showed her engagement ring to the world.

Garrard’s stunning piece was a 12-carat oval blue sapphire from Sri Lanka, surrounded by a halo of diamonds and set in 18-carat white gold.

The ring was not a custom piece, but was inspired by the iconic brooch that Prince Albert commissioned for Queen Victoria for their wedding day.

Today, Diana’s ring is owned by Catherine, Princess of Wales, after Prince William used it for a proposal in Kenya in 2010, almost thirty years after his parents’ engagement.

On July 29, 1981, five months after announcing their engagement, Charles and Diana were married at St Paul’s Cathedral in front of a worldwide television audience of as many as 750 million people.

Billed as the wedding of the century, it was a completely different story behind the scenes. According to biographer Penny Junor, Camilla’s true meaning had dawned on Diana in the run-up to the day.

“Rather than immediately explain to Diana that Camilla was an old friend, he had presented her as nothing more than a friend,” she wrote in her book The Duchess: Camilla Parker Bowles and the Love Affair That Rocked The Crown. ‘He came clean after the engagement, admitting that Camilla had been one of his closest friends, but reassured Diana that from now on there would be no other women.’

Nevertheless, Diana felt so uncomfortable about Camilla’s presence in her future husband’s life, and about life in the palace, which she realized was suffocating, that she tried to call off the wedding two days before it took place.

As Andrew Morton revealed in his great 1992 book Diana – Her True Story, her sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Jane, Baroness Fellowes, stopped her from fleeing.

“Tough luck,’ they said, using their nickname for their younger sister,” Morton wrote. “Your face is on the tea towels, so it’s too late to keep quiet now.”

Charles and Diana had two children, William and Harry, and remained officially married until 1996, when their divorce was finalized.

Their marriage was hit by infidelity on both sides, with Diana saying in her famous 1995 Panorama interview about Charles’ relationship with Camilla: “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”

In August 1997, just a year after their divorce, Diana died in a car accident in Paris.

Meghan Markle looked stylish and cozy as she watched Prince Harry speed down a bobsled track in Whistler, Canada yesterday.

Meghan Markle made a dazzling appearance at British Columbia's Whistler ski resort yesterday, thanks to the return of her £140,000 engagement ring.

The Duchess has not been seen publicly with the glittering band, consisting of one huge Botswana diamond and two out Princess Diana's collection since May 2023.

Her ring was noticeably absent from recent events, such as the premiere of Bob Marley biopic One Love last month in Kingston, Jamaica, and her presence at Variety's Power of Women gala in November 2023.

According to People magazine The reason behind the long interruption of the ring is that a setting has come loose and needs to be maintained.

Prince Harry proposed to Meghan in November 2017, with the ring consisting of a solid yellow gold band set with three diamonds, but Meghan has since made several adjustments to the design.

When she hit the slopes with Prince Harry (plus their cameraman) and walked around on skis, the Duchess's dazzling diamond complemented a chic winter outfit.

She wore a $295 Calvin Klein cream quilted coat on top of a $695 cashmere sweater from CO.

To ensure her feet were toasty in the frigid Whistler temperatures, the Duchess wore a pair of furry boots from Sorel – quirkily dubbed the Joan of Arctic design.

However, the Duchess's beautiful stone was the star of the outfit, and instead of covering her hands with a pair of heavy-duty gloves, she proudly displayed the ring on her finger.

It's the first time Meghan, the mother-of-two, has worn the band for nine months amid reports she had the band repaired.

Instead, she's been spotted with several subtle yet chic rings on her finger — like when she had lunch in California with her friends Cleo Wade and Kadi Lee. It is believed to be her wedding ring and an eternity ring.

At the Invictus Games in Germany last September, the Duchess was still without an engagement ring, but she compensated for her absence with a pinky ring from Shiffon and Co. on her little finger.

In May, the Duchess was spotted walking without her husband Prince Harry near their $14 million Montecito mansion, hours after missing King Charles' coronation.

Meghan was joined by her friends, Markus Anderson and Heather Dorak, in California for the fresh air outing after celebrating her son Archie's birthday.

However, she did not wear her glittering diamond ring for the occasion.

Later that month, the jewelry went missing for a second time when she arrived at the Ms Foundation for Women's 50th anniversary event at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Manhattan.

At the event, Meghan simply wore her wedding ring, which was yellow gold to match Prince Harry's, and an eternity ring, which she started wearing after her son Archie was born. It is not known why the ring disappeared.

The tennis pinky ring, which is 18 carats and set in white gold, retails for $2,800.

At the time of their engagement, the Duke spoke about creating Meghan's ring with the help of jewelers Cleave and Company.

The custom design featured a diamond originally from Botswana (where the couple took a trip for their second date) and two smaller stones from Princess Diana's collection.

He said at the time: 'The ring is clearly yellow gold, because it is [Meghan’s] favorite and the main stone itself I got from Botswana and the little diamonds on either side are from my mother's jewelry collection, to make sure she comes with us on this crazy journey together.'

Meghan called it “incredible” and explained: “Everything about Harry's thoughtfulness and the inclusion of [Princess Diana’s stones] And because I obviously can't meet his mother, it's so important for me to know that she's a part of this with us.”

'It is very special to have this [ring], what kind of links where you come from and Botswana, which is important to us. It's perfect.'

However, the Duchess chose not to wear her engagement ring during a number of public engagements in 2019 while she was pregnant with her son Archie.

When she appeared at Trooping the Color that year, it emerged that Meghan had altered the custom engagement ring that Prince Harry had designed for her.

At Trooping the Color and at her photo call at Windsor Castle with Prince Harry and newborn son Archie, the Duchess wore her three engagement diamonds set on a thin micro-pavé band.

Jewelry expert Arabel Lebrusan confirmed that the ring had been altered and suggested that it had been altered to make the original diamonds appear larger.

Arabel, owner of ethical jewelery brand Arabel Lebrusan, called the thinner band a popular trend, revealing: 'Many celebrities do this as the center stone looks bigger compared to the wow factor.'

Pointing out the difference in the band, the jewelry expert said: 'She now has small diamonds on the sides of her engagement ring and the band also seems thinner than before.'

She also revealed that the glittering band only highlighted Meghan's diamonds, adding: 'The diamond setting on the band looks micro-set, this means there is very little metal between the stones, which reduces the sparkle of the little diamonds is maximized.'

Arabel went on to say that she felt the new style suited the Duchess's style “perfectly”, saying: “It suits her style perfectly, and it suits her dainty fingers too.”

Leora Moreno, owner of jewelry brand Leo With Love, said at the time that the changes could have been adjusted to match Meghan's eternity ring.

She explained, “It looks like the eternity ring has a channel pavé setting. The engagement ring appears to have an even smaller pavé setting, but matches the eternity band perfectly.'

The jeweler went on to explain that the change may have been complex, saying it took “fine skill and craftsmanship to change the band to something more delicate like a pavé setting.”

She added that the modern style would suit Meghan “for years to come” and was “the perfect combination of bold and graceful.”

In 2022's Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie claimed it was the Duke who altered Meghan's ring.

In the biography, jeweler to the stars Lorraine Schwartz said: “He is the most beautiful person ever. So romantic, so thoughtful.”

The authors continued, “(So much so that Harry also considered having Lorraine resized and Meghan's engagement ring reset with a new diamond band.)”
