      Inside Kate Abdo’s intimate wedding as Malik Scott reveals sweet gesture that made him cry and why Carragher didn’t come

      by

      MALIK SCOTT has lifted the lid on his secret wedding to sports presenter Kate Abdo.The retired boxer and coach of former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder tied the knot with the CBS Sports star in an intimate wedding earlier this month.CBS Sports presenter Kate Abdo recently tied the knot with Malik ScottCredit: INSTAGRAM@KATEABDOAbdo moved her new husband to tears with an incredible gesture involving their cakeCredit: INSTAGRAM@KATEABDOScott, understandably, was emotional as he vowed to spend the rest of his life with the former Sky Sports presenter.But Abdo moved the hardman to tears with an incredible homage to his first boxing gym on their wedding cake.Recalling their big day in an interview with Genting Casinos, the 43-year-old said: “Kate did something incredibly creative, caring, and compassionate—reflecting the walk of life I come from.”She took an old picture of my first ABC Gym in North Philadelphia, where I was raised—the gym that essentially saved my life.READ MORE ON KATE ABDO”She copied the ring from that gym and turned it into a cake, with me in the ring wearing the boxing trunks I had on when I fought Tony Thompson.”Those trunks had a design I borrowed from Sugar Ray Leonard when he fought Tommy Hearns the second time, but I added my own colours—pink and black with stripes.”She even put herself next to me in a wedding dress.”The thoughtfulness and creativity moved me to tears because it took me back to my childhood in that ring, where I faced many challenges, learned hard lessons and grew.Most read in Sport”That ring always meant the world to me.BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSKate Abdo and Malik Scott tied the knot in a low-key ceremonyCredit: INSTAGRAM@KATEABDO”She made sure to incorporate that into our wedding day, placing us both in the ring on the cake—her in a wedding dress, me in my boxing outfit. “The contrast was beautiful, thoughtful, and loving.’Why would you even say that’ says Kate Abdo after Jamie Carragher’s most awkward joke ever on live TV”It was emotional for me because I had never shared my craft with anyone the way I have with her. It’s refreshing and comforting.”In the past, I’d kept that side of me private, but with her, I’m comfortable letting her in—whether it’s film study or talking about boxing. “It’s a special connection that I’ve never had with anyone else.”Scott and Abdo, who went public with their relationship earlier this year, didn’t have an expensive and over-the-top celebration of their love.And there was no room on the exclusive guestlist for Abdo’s on-air CBS colleagues Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards.”Our wedding was intimate—just the two of us, really,” Scott revealed. “We didn’t want a big affair. “We focused on each other and the commitment we were making.”It was a godly ceremony on the Malibu hills, just how we wanted it. “My kids were there, and it was important for them to see this meaningful, godly moment.”Watching her walk down the aisle was so emotional for me. Every day I fall deeper in love with her.There was no room on the Abdo wedding guestlist for Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry, Micah RichardsCredit: CBS SPORTS”I don’t know if Jamie Carragher would have been invited to the wedding. I don’t know.”I don’t know how to answer that because having a bigger wedding was never a possibility. That’s something that wouldn’t have happened.”[But] Thierry, Michah, Jamie—they all sent their wishes.”Carragher was unlikely to have received an invite to the nuptials after joking that Abdo wasn’t “loyal” to her new husband live on air.Scott, however, bears no ill will towards the former Liverpool and England defender.He said of Abdo’s colleagues: “They’re a good group of people. “I may not know the full ins and outs of their status, but what impresses me most is the kind of men they are.”The respect they carry, the pride they walk into a room with. They’re men’s men. And there’s nothing wrong with my relationship with Jamie.READ MORE SUN STORIES”It was never broken. Jamie has a good understanding of how people are, especially in this social media era.”We sat down, broke bread, and had good conversations. I’ve never had a problem with him.” More

      Spice up your sex life & DON’T watch Celebs Go Dating – my 8 rules for Kyle Walker and Annie to rescue rocky marriage

      by

      LOVE rat Footballer Kyle Walker has been taken back into the family home by Annie Kilner. His long-suffering wife, 32, has allowed the Manchester City player, 34, back for the sake of their children but has told pals they have not fully reconciled. Annie has allowed Kyle to move back into the family home for the sake of their kidsCredit: BackGridKyle’s former mistress Lauryn Goodman, 33, is currently appearing on Celebs Go DatingCredit: PAA source said: “They either had to make a go of it or move on, and they’ve decided to see how things go.“It’s on a trial basis.“Kyle’s been back for over a week now, and he’s sleeping in a separate bed on the third floor of the house.“Annie is determined to do what she thinks is best for her kids.”READ MORE FEATURESBut patching things up between the pair is going to be extremely hard, warns relationship expert Jo Hemmings. “This situation has been a rather excessive love triangle as he’s had an affair twice with the same woman,” she said. “Making things work after getting back together once is hard, but doing it a second time reduces the chances of it working even further.“But it is possible with work from both parties.”Most read in FootballHere, Jo gives her no-nonsense rules for the couple to have the best chance of a successful marriage after Kyle’s infidelities.Turn off the TVKyle’s former mistress Lauryn Goodman, 33, is currently appearing on Celebs Go Dating, which is sure to make things harder for Annie and Kyle as they make a go of their marriage.Lauryn Goodman breaks down in tears as she describes Kyle Walker drama as ‘going to war’Lauryn is still wearing a necklace embalzoned with Kyle’s initialsCredit: RexShe’s been breaking down in tears on the E4 dating showCredit: Channel 4Jo said: “They need to avoid watching Celebs Go Dating, no matter how tempting it might be.“Lauryn is wearing a necklace with KW engraved on it, which suggests that she isn’t over Kyle.“It’s not something either of them need to see while mending fences. “It could make Annie want to fight for her man if she sees Lauryn’s behaviour, but I would just recommend they don’t watch it. Especially Annie.”Spice up sex lifeThe couple share four children and have been together since they were 16 years oldCredit: AFP or LicensorsSince returning to the family home earlier this month, Kyle has been sleeping in a separate bedroom to Annie, which is also on a different floor of the house. But if they want to make this reconciliation work and go the distance, they need to bring back intimacy into their relationship.Jo said: “They 100 per cent need to work on their intimacy if things are going to work out. “But he’ll need to behave scrupulously well before Annie is likely to even consider letting him back into her bedroom again.“To start working on it, they need to spend time together one on one. Starting with dedicated date nights is a good idea. “If they’re not having a full, proper relationship, then it won’t work.“It also means he’ll be more likely to stray again, be it to Lauryn or someone else.”Couples counsellingJo’s top recommendation for Kyle and Annie is to get in touch with a couple’s counsellor and book in session to work through their issues. She said: “I can’t see them working this out without getting external help. Their relationship is so fragile at this point.“This is a very messy situation and they are going to need structure and external advice from someone who is neutral and will listen without judgement to get their relationship back on track. “Part of that counselling will require full candour from Kyle. He needs to be honest about what has happened and why he strayed.“Thrashing it out in private during a couple’s session is a great way to work through their issues, away from their young children.”Drop the pastAnnie needs to accept the children Kyle has with LaurynCredit: INSTAGRAMOne of the hardest things to do for any couple that has gone through issues is to leave the past behind. Jo reckons this is absolutely vital for Kyle and Annie to make their relationship work.“They do initially need to have conversations about what has happened in the past with Lauryn and properly wring everything out,” Jo said. “But once that is done, they need to focus on what their future can be like. “They’ve already got four children together, so they’ve got a good reason to try.“But having another baby to bring them closer won’t work. This is more about looking at what their life could be like if things work out. “They need to make plans to help them move forward, rather than constantly looking back.” Accept the kidsKyle’s betrayals have been made very clear with the two children he’s fathered with Lauryn.While this may be a painful reminder for Annie, Jo says she needs to accept they exist and aren’t at fault. “These children are innocent at the end of the day, and they deserve to know their father,” she said. “While their existence is likely to be painful to Annie and a constant reminder of his betrayal, I am sure she would want him to be a good father to all his children.“That said, I imagine for now she’ll want things reasonably restricted because of Lauryn and I can’t see them going away as a blended family any time soon. “But accepting the children as part of life is a step towards things being easier.”Annie makes the rulesKyle needs to understand he has betrayed his wife’s trust and needs to follow her leadKyle has shattered his wife’s trust by straying not once, but twice, with the same woman. As a result, Jo says he needs to accept that Annie will rule their house, and he has to prove his trustworthiness to her. “Annie is going to struggle to trust Kyle, and that means he has to prove himself to her in any way possible,” she told The Sun. “So if she wants to know where he is and have access to his phone, he needs to give her that while they rebuild. “If he feels like it’s ridiculous and an invasion of his privacy, then he probably isn’t really up for repairing things. “A lot of making this work is based on him being willing to be honest. He has got to play by Annie’s rules if he wants to make this work.”Grow up The couple need to rediscover their romantic sideCredit: Tim StewartJo reckons that Kyle’s infidelities are a result of him not being mature enough to handle being a father and a husband. In order to make things work with Annie, he needs to start growing up. “Kyle has got a lot of growing up to do emotionally,” she said. “He’s not the first Premier League footballer to stray, and won’t be the last.

But talking with pals who don’t support their attempt to reconcile will make things tricky, Jo claims.
