NADINE Coyle’s relationship survived longer than Girls Aloud, but it’s now met a similar end.
I’m sad to reveal the singer has split from partner Jason Bell, dad to her five-year-old daughter, after 11 years.

She broke up with the former American football cornerback after they realised they were leading increasingly separate lives.
The couple had been dating since 2008, after meeting when Nadine was working in the US.
They were engaged for a year between 2010 and 2011 before briefly splitting up, but the sportsman popped the question again in 2014, shortly before she gave birth to their daughter Anaiya.
A music source said: “Although Nadine and Jason were never married, they lived as a close family unit and remain good friends as they co-parent their young daughter.

“They still care for one another, but are no longer in a romantic relationship.” Nadine re-located back to her native Northern Ireland three years ago to raise their daughter closer to her family.
Jason stayed in the US to concentrate on his TV commentary career.
Speaking just last month Nadine, who enjoyed four chart-topping singles with Girls Aloud from 2002 before they split in 2009, opened up about her home life with Jason, who she often affectionately referred to as her husband.
She said: “I love to cook and hang out with my husband Jason and our daughter Anaiya. We’re a very close family.”

She also admitted she would like to have more children, adding: “I come from a big Irish Catholic family, which is really full on, so another one would fit in perfectly.
“I probably wouldn’t even notice another one — there’s so many of us!
“I enjoyed the whole experience the first time round so if it were to happen I would be happy, but I’m not thinking about another one right now.”
At least her new heartbreak will finally give her something to bond over with her former band-mate Cheryl Tweedy.

My hidden Depps, by Lily-Rose
LILY-ROSE Depp proved her model credentials while pouting on the red carpet at Venice Film Festival.
The actress was at a screening of her new Netflix film The King – about the young Henry V’s rise to the throne – on Monday.

She plays Henry’s wife, Catherine de Valois, opposite her real-life boyfriend, Oscar-nominee Timothee Chalamet, who takes on the title role and was also on the red carpet.
Lily-Rose acknowledged that having famous parents, Johnny Depp and singer Vanessa Paradis, has given her a bit of a leg-up.
She said: “I’m not going to say that it doesn’t make it easier to get your name out there. Obviously it does. But honestly, to me there’s also something even a little bit harder about it, because the expectations are so insanely high.
“My parents are both incredible artists in their own right. So all I can do is try to be my own person and do my own work.”

Justin’s kid fame torment
JUSTIN Bieber has revealed the horrific full extent of how he struggled with child fame – and how it still haunts him.
The singer, who was talent-spotted at 13 and released breakout single Baby two years later, says sudden celebrity status led him to drug abuse, wrecked his relationships and left him feeling suicidal.

In an emotional open letter posted on Instagram, he wrote: “I started doing pretty heavy drugs at 19 and abused all of my relationships.
“I became resentful, disrespectful to women and angry. I became distant to everyone who loved me and was hiding behind the shell of a person I had become.”
He married model Hailey Bieber last September and said that although he has now turned his life around, he can still find things tough.
He said: “It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning . . . when it feels like there’s trouble after trouble after trouble . . . sometimes it can even get to the point where you don’t even want to live any more.
“I made every bad decision you could have thought of and went from one of the most loved and adored people in the world to the most ridiculed, judged and hated.”
