    Bella Hadid pays tribute to her Palestinian heritage with two new tattoos

    Bella Hadid never shies away from sharing her pride to be Palestinian, but the supermodel recently made a more permanent move to pay tribute to her heritage.
    The 24-year-old has inked herself with two new tattoos in Arabic script which acknowledges her Palestinian background, which is where her father, Mohamed Hadid, was born.

    The supermodel recruited celebrity tattoo artist Dr. Woo to complete the new tattoos, which were done in a very minimal design.
    The artist shared the new inkings on Instagram saying, “Some writings for the always kind and lovely @bellahadid.”

    The Arabic script which can be seen on the model’s shoulders translates in English to “my love” and “I love you”.

    Hadid’s father recently publicly reflected on having to leave Palestine when he was just a newborn baby, becoming a refugee along with his other family members.
    Sharing a picture from his younger years, the 72-year-old explained that he doesn’t have “a single picture of me [as] when I was a baby I was just about 9 days old when I and my family were refugees to the refugee camps in Syria from Palestine”.
    He shared his thanks to Syria, Lebanon and Tunisia and most of all Jordan, where he and his family received Jordanian citizenship many years ago.
    He also shared his gratitude for being able to relocate to the USA with his family.
    While the model’s father is Palestinian, her mother, Yolanda Hadid, is from The Netherlands, making her Palestinian-Dutch., which she states in her Instagram bio.

    Hande Erçel rumoured to be dating co-star after splitting from Murat Dalkılıç

    Back in August, it was confirmed that Hande Erçel had split from her longtime partner Murat Dalkılıç five months after they became engaged at the beginning of this year.
    Now, three months on, the Turkish actress is rumoured to be dating her current co-star, Kerem Bürsin.

    Turkish newspaper Milliyet reported that the pair have recently been spotted out and about together, but alluded to the fact it may be in promotion of their show Sen Çal Kapımı (You Knock on My Door).
    As the pair were seen out and about together, they discussed the coronavirus pandemic and the need for people to wear masks.

    “These are sad images,” Bürsin told the outlet. “People should be more sensitive and they should wear their masks.”
    Erçel, 26, also admitted she found it “sad” that people weren’t wearing masks.
    “People have to respect their own lives, of course, but when there is such a mourning, we are all torn, I wish we were more sensitive,” she said.
    Erçel confirmed her split from ex Dalkılıç on social media a few months ago. The now-former couple began dating in 2017 and after three years together Dalkılıç popped the question at the beginning of 2020.

    Gigi Hadid gives a candid insight into motherhood with a photo of her daughter

    Since she welcomed her daughter a little over two months ago, Gigi Hadid has largely kept the newborn under wraps only sharing a few images of the baby here and there.
    However, the supermodel has now given the most candid insight to date into her life as a new mum with baby Hadid-Malik.

    Taking to Instagram, Hadid shared a rare photo with her baby girl and also showed off her Christmas decorations after getting in the festive spirit early.
    “A whole new kind of busy & tired,” the 25-year-old admitted in the caption of the post. “But she’s da bestie so she got Christmas decorations early.”

    Clearly tugging at heartstrings with her series of photos, the model’s father, Mohamed Hadid, commented saying, “Need to be close to her. Love you and her so much.”
    It’s not the first snap Hadid has shared of her baby girl. In celebration of Halloween, the model shared the first Hadid-Malik family photo complete with herself, baby girl Hadid-Malik and new dad Zayn Malik in celebration of Halloween.
    While it’s the first family photo she has shared, Hadid kept her daughter’s face hidden and prior to this only photos of the newborn’s hand had been shown.
    Similarly, to date, the name of baby Hadid-Malik has been kept private, but according to E! News, the newborn’s moniker is “unique”.
    Regardless, the model appears to be taking to motherhood naturally and enjoying every minute of it.

    The tell-tale sign that Harry and Meghan won’t be returning to the UK

    It’s been quite a year for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
    In January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they would be stepping down from their roles as senior royals and would be splitting their time between North America and the United Kingdom.

    The couple have been back to the UK once together, and Harry a further time alone, but given the ongoing pandemic the pair have stayed put in California for the last six months with their son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
    It appears the pair don’t have any plans to return to the UK permanently either, given that they recently offered up their Windsor home to Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

    According to ITV, the couple are “delighted to be able to open up their home to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank as they start their own family.”
    However, this doesn’t mean Harry and Meghan won’t be staying away from the UK permanently. In fact, when the pair travel to the UK they will “share the property” with Eugenie and Jack.
    But this latest move from the Sussexes does make it evermore likely they will not be returning to their roles as senior royals, as their formal royal roles are subject to a twelve-month review period which will be approaching in March 2021.
    What remains in store for the couple as senior royals remains to be seen.

    There’s a luxury floating hotel coming to Dubai

    A new Dhs600 million project is underway to create a new floating hotel in Dubai.
    Set to be located in the waters of Dubai Marina, the new resort will be known as the Sea Palace Floating Resort, developed by Seagate Shipyard and El Bahrawy Group.

    Discussing the new project, Mohamed El Bahrawy of El Bahrawy Group explained that the construction is nearing completion.

    As well as the resort, the new development features six luxury homes, all of which are 95 per cent complete.
    “The remaining work will be finished in a month, while the whole project is around 65 per cent complete,” El Bahrawy says.
    The lavish homes are currently on the market for Dhs20 million. One has even already been purchased by a Dubai-based entrepreneur.
    The villas are the epitome of luxury featuring a private swimming pool, lavish kitchen, rooftop and more, and the interiors were all designed by Aston Martin, luxury sports car brand.

    However, the most amazing part of all is that the villas don’t need to stay put in one place, they can quite literally turn into yachts. So, if you get bored of the Dubai Marina view, you can easily switch things up and set sail as you see fit.
