      Ivana Trump, the first wife of Donald Trump, has died aged 73.
      The former President of the USA paid tribute to his ex-wife via his social media platform, Truth Social.
      “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City,” he said. “She was a wonderful, beautiful and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.
      “Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest in peace, Ivana!”
      It was reported the socialite was found at the bottom of a staircase unconscious and unresponsive in her New York City home.
      Ivana’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, shared a tribute to her mother following her passing on Instagram.

      “Heartbroken by the passing of my mother. Mom was brilliant, charming, passionate and wickedly funny,” she said. “She modelled strength, tenacity and determination in her every action. She lived life to the fullest — never forgoing an opportunity to laugh and dance. I will miss her forever and will keep her memory alive in our hearts always.”
      The life of Ivana Trump
      Ivana – née Ivana Zelníčková – was born in the Czech Republic, previously Czechoslovakia, in 1949.
      In her 20s, Ivana eventually relocated to Canada where she worked as a ski instructor and then as a model.
      In 1976 on a trip to New York City with a group of models, Ivana met Donald Trump. The pair wed a year later in April 1977 and had three children together – Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump.
      Throughout the 1980s, Ivana and her husband became big names on the New York City social scene.
      The pair were married for 15 years, eventually splitting in 1992. Their divorce received worldwide media attention.
      Throughout her life Ivana was married four times – Alfred Winklmayr (1971–1973), Donald Trump (1977–1992), Riccardo Mazzucchelli (1995–1997) and Rossano Rubicondi (2008–2009).
      Ivana was also a keen businesswoman and entrepreneur holding many significant roles in the Trump Organization throughout the years. She also went on to found her own fashion, beauty and jewellery lines in the 1990s and wrote several books, the most recent of which was a biography entitled Raising Trump released in 2017 which discussed the upbringing of her three children with her ex-husband Trump.

      Lindsay Lohan is officially a married woman!
      To mark her 36th birthday, the actress shared she had secretly wed her fiancé Bader Shammas referring to him as her “husband” after the couple announced their engagement back in November 2021.
      The couple, who met in Dubai, have been incredibly private about their relationship and Shammas is not in the public eye.
      However, here’s a few things we know about the husband of Lindsay Lohan.

      The couple have been dating for two years
      Lohan, who has been in the spotlight since she was 11, has been very private about her relationship with Shammas. Privacy is one of the reasons she first moved to Dubai in 2014. According to reports, the couple has been dating for around two years and were recently pictured together on a trip to New York City in October.
      He went to university in the USA
      Shammas studied in the USA at the University of South Florida and the University of Tampa studying Mechanical Engineering and Finance
      He now lives in Dubai
      While Shammas now lives in Dubai, and has done for the last four years, he previously lived in Bahrain and Kuwait.
      He works as a financier
      Unlike his wife, Shammas isn’t in the public eye. He works in finance as an Assistant Vice President at Credit Suisse, a global investment bank and financial services firm.
      When did they meet?
      This is largely unknown as Lohan has been private about her relationships, but she did post a photo back in February 2020 with a group of friends featuring Shammas. According to Elle, the caption read: “@aliana lovely night with sister and my boyfriend bader such a magical night.” However, it seems now the post has been deleted as it no longer appears on Lohan’s Instagram feed.

      Dubai-based Lindsay Lohan is officially a married woman!
      The actress revealed she secretly wed her fiancé Bader Shammas in an Instagram post to mark her 36th birthday, where she referred to the financier as her “husband”.
      Lohan shared a photo with her now-husband, saying she was the “luckiest woman in the world”. The star also appeared to be wearing a diamond wedding band paired with her engagement ring.
      “You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time,” she said in the caption. “I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything. Every woman should feel like this everyday.”

      Lohan and Shammas announced their engagement back in November 2021 after reportedly dating for around two years.
      Lohan, who has been in the spotlight since she was 11, has been very private about her relationship and not much is known about her fiance except he is also based in Dubai working as a financier. Shammas works as an Assistant Vice President at Credit Suisse, a global investment bank and financial services firm.
      The actress relocated to Dubai back in 2014. Lohan, who is a former Emirates Woman cover star, previously opened up about her move to the UAE.

      “Moving here was a fresh start,” she told EW. “You hear more about real current events rather than celebrity gossip, which I really appreciate.”
      She also added one of the main reasons she moved to Dubai was due to the “lack of paparazzi”.
      The 36-year-old recently made a return to the spotlight and acting, as she’s currently filming a new project for Netflix, which is set to be released this year.

      Priyanka Chopra Jonas has marked her husband Nick Jonas’ first Father’s Day as a dad in a very special way.
      Taking to Instagram, the actress shared the most adorable photo of her husband with their daughter Malti Marie wearing matching sneakers.
      In the snap, the little one is seen wearing white sneakers with the letter ‘M’ on each shoe representing the initials of her first and middle name ‘MM’. Twinning with his daughter, Jonas is seen holding up his baby girl while wearing similar white sneakers – albeit much bigger – with the phrase “MM’s dad” spread across both shoes.

      Chopra Jonas also captioned the post with a heartwarming message to her husband of three years.
      “Happy 1st Father’s Day my love,” she said. “To watch you with our little girl is my greatest joy..what an amazing day to come back home… I love you… here’s to many more.”
      First-time parents
      The couple shared the first photo of their daughter just over a month ago after the newborn spent a lengthy time in hospital after arriving via surrogate back in January.
      In the family portrait, Chopra Jonas is cradling the newborn, with Jonas watching over his two girls.

      The Bollywood star explained their baby girl had spent “100 plus days in the NICU”, adding it had been a “challenging few months”.
      The pair wed just over three years ago in December 2018 at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India. The couple tied the knot in a western ceremony officiated by Jonas’ father Paul Kevin Jonas Sr and the next day the pair wed in a traditional Hindu ceremony.

      Bella Hadid declares she will never let anyone forget ‘beautiful Palestine’

      Supermodel Bella Hadid has declared she will never let anyone forget “beautiful Palestine”.
      The supermodel, whose father Mohamed Hadid fled from the country when he was just a baby, recently shared a post on Instagram after watching a scene from the 1998 documentary Children of Shatila which is currently available to watch on Netflix.
      The documentary by filmmaker Mai Masri follows the lives of two children who grew up in the Palestinian refugee camp of Shatila in Beirut, Lebanon.
      Taking to social media, the 25-year-old revealed watching a scene from the documentary left her with “tears in my eyes”.
      This led to her to reflect on her ancestors and family who have suffered, adding she wished she was able to “go back in time… [and] start fighting for Palestine sooner”.

      “For my family, for my elders, our history and for the people of Palestine still living now through this treacherous, exhausting and painful occupation,” she continued.
      The model went on to remember her grandparents, her “Jido and Teta”, sharing that their “dying wishes” were to be “buried in their homeland”.
      She went on to make a pledge to the country of her ancestors: “I have a promise to make. I will never allow anyone to forget about our beautiful Palestine, or our beautiful people.”
      Hadid is vocal about her support for Palestine and continuously shares her pride for her heritage.

      Back in 2020, the model paid tribute to her heritage by getting two tattoos in Arabic script which acknowledge her Palestinian background from her father’s side of the family.
      Mohamed Hadid himself is a refugee from Palestine. He’s previously shared how 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”.
      After receiving Jordanian citizenship, the father-of-five eventually relocated to the US where he has resided for a number of years.

      In the wake of Johnny Depp’s court victory against ex-wife Amber Heard, an Instagram post has gone viral of a Saudi man allegedly offering to marry the actress.
      The post was made by an Arab pop culture Instagram account with over two million followers with the username @q8_xp.
      The alleged voice note by a man from Saudi Arabia appears to have been leaked. The man is heard saying in Arabic he would marry her, also referring to her ex-husband Depp as “that old man”.
      “Amber… since all doors are closing on you, you have no one except me to take care of you,” he says in the apparent voice note. “I’ve noticed that some people hate and bully you, therefore, I decided to marry you.”
      He continues: “You are a blessing but people don’t appreciate that. I am better than that old man.”

      Since being posted by the account, the message has gone viral with over 240,000 views. However, it’s unclear how the post was leaked and if it’s even 100 per cent real. Regardless, it’s certainly given many some entertainment in the wake of the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial.
      The Verdict
      After a seven-week court battle between Depp and heard, on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, the jury found Heard guilty of all three counts of defamation following the publishing of her Washington Post article.
      The judge ordered Heard to pay her ex-husband a total of $15 million in damages – $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
      Meanwhile, Depp was found guilty of one count of defamation and has been ordered to pay $2 million in compensatory damages to his ex-wife.
      Depp sued Heard, his ex-wife, for $50 million over an op-ed she wrote back in 2018 for the Washington Post claiming she was a domestic abuse victim. The article did not directly name Depp as the individual, but it was implied given the timing of the story following the couple’s divorce. Depp claimed this cost him a number of high-profile roles in moves, thus affecting his income. Heard countersued her ex-husband, whom she was married to from 2015 to 2017, for $100 million for accusing her of making false allegations.
      Following the verdict, Depp issued a statement saying he was keen to start the next chapter of his life, also adding that the “truth never perishes”.
      Meanwhile, following the verdict, Heard shared her “disappointment” over the ruling saying she was “heartbroken”.
      According to the BBC, Heard plans to appeal the decision.

      For the past seven weeks, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have been embroiled in a civil lawsuit against one another.
      The case took place in Fairfax County, Virginia where Depp sued Heard, his ex-wife, for $50 million over an op-ed she wrote back in 2018 for The Washington Post claiming she was a domestic abuse victim. The article did not directly name Depp as the individual, but it was implied given the timing of the story following the couple’s divorce. Depp claimed this cost him a number of high-profile roles in moves, thus affecting his income.
      Meanwhile, Heard countersued her ex-husband, whom she was married to from 2015 to 2017, for $100 million for accusing her of making false allegations.
      Over the past few weeks, private matters between Depp and Heard have been laid bare for public consumption as the civil suit has caused a media storm around the globe.

      The Verdict
      On Wednesday, June 1, 2022, the jury found Heard guilty of all three counts of defamation following the publishing of her Washington Post article. The judge ordered Heard to pay her ex-husband a total of $15 million in damages – $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
      Meanwhile, Depp was found guilty of one count of defamation and has been ordered to pay $2 million in compensatory damages to his ex-wife.
      Johnny Depp’s statement

      Following his civil lawsuit victory, Depp issued a heartfelt statement of what has ensued in his life over the past six years and said he was ready for a “new chapter”.
      Read his full statement below.
      “Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people, who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed. All in the blink of an eye.
      “False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me. It had already travelled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and career.
      “And six years later, the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled. My decision to pursue this case, knowing very well the height of the legal hurdles that I would be facing and the inevitable, worldwide spectacle into my life, was only made after considerable thought.
      “From the very beginning, the goal of bringing this case was to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome. Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me.I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that. I am, and have been, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and the colossal support and kindness from around the world.
      “I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women, who have found themselves in my situation, and that those supporting them never give up. I also hope that the position will now return to innocent until proven guilty, both within the courts and in the media.
      “I wish to acknowledge the noble work of the Judge, the jurors, the court staff & the Sheriffs who have sacrificed their own time to get to this point, & to my diligent & unwavering legal team who did an extraordinary job in helping me to share the truth.
      “The best is yet to come and a new chapter has finally begun. Veritas numquam perit. Truth never perishes.”
      Amber Heard’s statement

      However, following the verdict, Heard shared her “disappointment” over the ruling saying she was “heartbroken”.
      “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words,” she said in a statement. “I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.
      “I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously.”
      According to the BBC, Heard plans to appeal the decision.
