Harry Styles’ Unexpected Silence After Date with Jade Thirlwall
Before rising to global fame with the iconic boy band ‘One Direction’, Harry Styles, now 30, was just another contestant on the British talent show ‘X Factor’. It was during this time that he met Jade Thirlwall, 32, who would go on to win the competition with her group ‘Little Mix’ a year later. Jade recently shared on ‘The Louis Theroux Podcast’ that they once went on a date when they were both young. However, after that single outing, Harry mysteriously cut off all communication.
Reflecting on the experience, Jade mentioned, “As soon as ‘One Direction’ started performing live, he stopped replying to me. I thought to myself, ‘That’s it. He’s made it.'” After Jade and her band triumphed on ‘X Factor’ in December 2011, Harry reconnected. “I saw him, and he apologized for ignoring me,” she recounted. Today, Jade harbors no grudges and describes Harry as “incredibly talented” and “charming”.

Rebecca Ries Opens Up About Friendship Changes with Leyla Lahouar
Once inseparable friends, Rebecca Ries, 29, and Leyla Lahouar, 28, seem to be experiencing a rift. In the summer of 2024, Leyla reportedly supported Rebecca through significant decisions, even funding a breast surgery. However, a vague social media post from Leyla in September hinted at trouble in paradise when she stated, “I thought you were my go-to person, but now I see the backstabbing.” Many speculated if this message was directed at Rebecca.
In an effort to clarify the situation, Rebecca addressed the rumors in her Instagram story, saying, “I’m stating this once: No, we are no longer in contact, and that’s perfectly fine. People evolve and change.” She also refuted claims regarding financial support, clarifying that her surgery involved mutual cooperation. Despite the apparent strain, she expressed, “I only wish her the best,” affirming that there is no animosity between them.
Danni Büchner Responds to Criticism Over Family Spending
Danni Büchner, 46, finds herself under fire not just for her television roles but for her parenting choices as well. Recently, she documented a light-hearted moment with her son Volkan, 23, who was considering ordering a döner. Danni playfully questioned why it would cost 20 euros, leading to a discussion about food expenses.
Critics raised eyebrows over her willingness to finance her son’s meal, with one commenter suggesting that Volkan should purchase his own food. Danni defended her actions passionately, stating, “My children could be 80 or even millionaires. If I want to treat them, I will.” Frustrated by the backlash she receives, she added, “There’s nothing more rewarding for a mother than fostering a strong bond with her kids. I’ll always be there for them when they need me.”
