    Some say it doesn’t fit in with the area – and that it appears as though it should be in Dubai – while others said it looks a decade older than it is.
    The Balmayna, which translates as enamelled from Arabic, stands tall in the Greater Manchester town.
    The glass-fronted building is said to show off greenery and floral designs inside, alongside a water feature inside.
    It’s said to boast “state-of-the-art lighting”, sound systems and palm trees.

    The site is described as “elegance seamlessly meeting excellence” – but those who live nearby aren’t so sure.
    One person said: “It’s like a building from Dubai.”
    While another added: “The design is about 10 years out of date.”
    However, others said celebrations were in order, saying: “Wow congratulations – finally it is open.”

    In a clip advertising the opening, Khan says: “It was my dad’s idea, he wanted to start the wedding hall.”
    A spokesperson for The Balmayna said: “With immense joy, the wait is nearly over.
    “We will soon unveil the grand opening of The Balmayna, Bolton’s newest wedding haven.
    “A splendid project between Excellency Midlands and Amir Khan, where elegance seamlessly meets excellence.”
    The Sun has approached Amir’s agent for further comment.
    Khan, who spends his time between Bolton and Dubai, is set to open the luxury venue in March.
    It’s said to be the “brainchild” of the boxer, who is married to and has three children with Pakistani-American YouTuber Faryal Makhdoom.
    The venue’s website says the site will be able to host “a wedding like no other in the UK” and promises it will exceed expectations.
    It reads: “This wedding venue is the brainchild of Amir Khan, the world champion boxer, ensuring a touch of magnificence and excellence in every celebration.”

    A happy Sadio spoke to local media following the Sunday wedding, admitting he was overjoyed after receiving so many congratulations.
    “Honestly, I am happy [with] the fact the president has congratulated me just as much as, well, I would say not just my team-mates,” he said late on Tuesday. 
    “I think that all the people have congratulated me and wished me [luck] so I am happy and I hope that it’ll be okay.”
    Mane also made light of jokes surrounding his marriage to his 19-year-old bride as Senegal’s president Macky Sall received the national squad ahead of AFCON.

    “First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate our national Nianthi, Sadio Mane, who has just got married,” Sall said.
    “I called him up so that we could applaud him and wish him a happy marriage.
    “May God bless your home and your descendants. From now on you have another job apart from scoring goals.”
    The ex-Bayern Munich was seen laughing and covering his face with his hands in response to the joke alongside his teammates.
    Most read in Football
    Mane reportedly spotted his future wife when she was 16 but didn’t approach her formally at the time.
    The legal age of consent in Senegal is 16 years of age.
    Instead, he confided in his uncle, a friend of her father, which eventually led to their union,  Sports Brief reported.
    Other reports say that his new bride was 18 years old, but there are claims on social media that she is 26.
    Pulse Sports also reported that Mane had taken care of her bills when she was in school.
    The couple’s relationship is supposed to have been kept private until their wedding earlier this week, but friends, relatives, and former teammates are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
    On Tuesday night, Mane and Senegal landed in Ivory Coast for AFCON to wrap up their preparations for the tournament.
    As Mane alluded to, the Lions of Teranga have been drawn into a group that includes two of their closest neighbours.
    They will begin their championship defence against Gambia, a country almost totally surrounded by Senegal, on Monday in the political capital of Yamoussoukro.
    Senegal will then face traditional powerhouses Cameroon on January 19, followed by another local derby against southern rivals Guinea on January 23, both at Yamoussoukro.
    “We are also aware of all that awaits us,” the 31-year-old said.
    “We know that it will not be easy but what is certain is that we will get there, we will do everything we can and everything that is on our side to do you proud and especially the dream of everybody, that’s to say, to retain the title and it’s what we are going to try to do.”
    He continued: “‘Above all else, I think that the first match will be very decisive.
    ” After, as you said, it’s big teams, Gambia and Guinea are derbies, also Cameroon who need no introduction, but we are also Senegal.
    “We are going to try to do the maximum.”
    The Al-Nassr star’s comments come after videos showed his new missus beaming with joy moments before tying the knot.
    Mane’s “long-term girlfriend” was filmed grinning with happiness as she left a car, surrounded by singing friends and relatives.
    Holding hands with who appears to be a family member, Aisha is also seen greeting multiple guests as the crowds guide her to the wedding venue.
    Family, friends and fellow footballers are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
    Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
    According to Business Day, the couple married in a mosque in Keur Massar on Sunday – located in Dakar, Senegal’s capital.
    The pair are from the same area of Senegal.
    Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
    A video was also shared of the pair sat together holding hands as they posed for pictures.
    In one snap, the pair can be seen photographed in front of a decorative sign that reads ”Mrs Mane”.
    Before their nuptials, the footballer had kept the details of his relationship private.
    But back in 2022, Mane did discuss the kind of person he was looking for as a partner.
    In an Interview with Tribune, the former Liverpool forward said: “I’ve seen a lot of girls asking me why I am not married, but sorry you might be wasting your time. The woman I marry will not be on social networks.
    “I want to marry a woman who respects God and prays well. Everyone has their own way of making their choice of love.”

    The wedding comes after Pulse Sports reported that Mane opened a new stadium in his home town of Bambali earlier this month.
    Mane did not disclose any personal relationships during his six-year spell at Liverpool.

    Cheating Jermain Defoe at centre of new love riddle – over a wedding planner

    CHEATING Jermain Defoe is at the ­centre of a new love ­riddle — over a ­wedding planner.We told last year how the former Spurs and England striker left his wife Donna Tierney, 40, less than six months after their £200,000 OK! magazine wedding.
    Wedding planner Paige Bethany Mallabourn-Edmondson has been linked to Jermain Defoe

    He then quickly took up with lover Alisha LeMay, 31, who had been a guest at the ceremony.
    Defoe, 40, set up home with the blonde Instagram influencer.
    But he has now been linked to wedding planner Paige Bethany Mallabourn-Edmondson, from Accrington, Lancs.
    Yesterday, Paige’s mum told The Sun on Sunday: “Yes, they are in a relationship together.”

    Brunette Paige, 28, is a wedding co-ordinator at the luxury five-star Crow Wood Hotel and Spa in Burnley, Lancs.
    She features on their YouTube channel talking about how much she enjoys her job helping couples to cement their love for each other as they wed.
    It is not known how or when she met Jermain but a source said: “Paige has been talking about seeing him for a few weeks now. She seems very happy and relaxed about it all.”
    In June last year, he happily smiled for the cameras alongside beautician Donna Tierney after the couple wed in front of 360 guests at Cliveden House — which featured on the cover of OK! magazine.

    They went on honeymoon to the Maldives, with Defoe telling magazine readers: “She’s the person I want to spend my life with.”
    But soon afterwards he appeared to have had a change of heart as The Sun on Sunday told how he began pestering a nurse for sex just a month after getting hitched.
    And Defoe also started chatting up another woman on Instagram – asking her to meet up.
    He and Donna split in December, less than six months after getting married, and officially separated earlier this year.
    We told how there was a mystery over whether their marriage was legal as the local register office said they had no record of it.
    The former striker then found love with influencer Alisha who had been at the wedding.
    And in May this year we revealed the pair had moved in together at a £3million five-bedroom mansion in Herts.
    At the time, a source said: “Jermain isn’t one to take things slowly so this move won’t come as a surprise.”
    The source added: “Jermain and Alisha are loving life together.”
    Last month, Alisha posted pictures of her and Jermain on her Instagram page, including one taken on June 4 from a box at Spurs’ stadium captioned, “Dangerously in love”.

    Ariana splits from husband
    THEY had a whirlwind romance and a fairytale wedding, but Ariana Grande’s marriage hasn’t had a happy ending.

    The Thank U, Next singer has split from her real estate agent husband Dalton Gomez, two years after their wedding.
    Sources in the US have claimed that they separated in January and recently tried to reconcile but failed to make the relationship work.
    Their romance had been strained after she moved to the UK last summer to film the two-movie adaptation of the musical Wicked, in which she will play Glinda.
    He visited her on set last month in a last-ditch attempt to save their marriage, although they have now decided it is over.
    The superstar was spotted without her ring at the Wimbledon men’s singles final on Sunday.
    However, those close to the couple insist they have remained amicable throughout the split.
    A source said: “It has been very hard but they gradually came to the decision together that things weren’t working.
    “They were having issues before she came to London to film for the Wicked movies and now they are concentrating on staying on good terms.
    “Things were always going to be more difficult with Ariana living in London and Dalton back in California.
    “They are still very close and talk on the phone all the time.”
    The last time Ariana was seen wearing her wedding ring was in April at a concert by her co-star Jeff Goldblum.
    She recently deleted her wedding photos from her Instagram page, while Dalton got rid of his account on the site in May.
    They wed in May 2021 at her home in Montecito, California, in front of less than 20 people, after getting together in early 2020.
    She famously sang about him on her 2021 album Positions, in which she documented their racy bedroom antics and said she wanted babies with him.
    Ariana has had a rocky love life, having previously been engaged to comedian Pete Davidson back in 2018.
    Before that she had a two-year relationship with the rapper Mac Miller, who died from an accidental drug overdose just months after they split.
    I’ve only ever heard positive things about Ariana, who seems like a very sweet, talented and genuine person.
    While she’s living in the UK, perhaps a British man can help lift her spirits.

    The Canadian star looked sensational in this skimpy leotard while performing at the Faster Horses Country Music Festival in Michigan on Sunday.
    She is currently in the middle of her Queen of Me tour, which kicked off in April.
    Shania has already performed 44 shows and has a week left before a break lasting almost two months.
    She will bring the tour to arenas in the UK and Ireland in September before returning to North America for another leg in October.
    The tour follows the success of her sixth album Queen of Me which hit No1 in February and features the singles Waking Up Dreaming and Giddy Up!.
    Here in the UK, she is also having renewed success thanks to her collaboration with Anne-Marie, titled Unhealthy, which reached a new peak of No19 in the charts last week.
    I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s added to the setlist when her tour arrives here.

    Sales are being staggered for her 2024 stadium shows following exceptional demand in the US, but passes to some concerts here are already being resold for up to £9,800.
    The listings have appeared on resale sites StubHub and Viagogo, much to the annoyance of fans who have so far been unable to secure tickets through official channels.
    But as a word of warning to anyone desperate enough to fork out an extortionate amount for a second-hand ticket – they aren’t always real.
    There has been a surge in fake tickets being resold online, which can lead to devastation at the gates of the venue.
    With more waves of ticket sales in the next few days for her shows, there should be enough for everyone.
