    Gerard Pique ‘to announce engagement’ to girlfriend Clara Chia after ex Shakira ‘cosies up’ to F1 star Lewis Hamilton

    Gerard Pique is making plans to wed his new beau Clara Chia and is set to announce their engagement, according to Spanish media. Earlier this month Pique, 36, and Clara, 24, were spotted at a Barcelona jeweller and are said to have had a conversation with an employee there about a made-to-measure ring.

    Pique split from Shakira – his partner of more than a decade and mother to his children – just a year ago.
    The footie star and Clara Chia went public with their relationship less than a year ago at a music festival in Barcelona.
    Sources close to Clara Chia and Pique claim the couple are indeed planning to tie the knot and are doing it within the month.
    The source told Spanish media: “Gerard Pique and Clara Chia are going to get married.

    “The ex-footballer and his girlfriend have taken this very important decision.
    “They have also planned the ideal moment to make the good news public. The announcement will be made on another important date for Pique, the wedding of his brother Marc who is going to marry his childhood sweetheart Maria on June 24.”
    Shakira reportedly refused to let Pique take their two sons, Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight, to his brother’s wedding.
    The Colombian singer also seems to be moving on: she’s been linked to F1 driver Lewis Hamilton since her move to Miami with her sons.

    The two were first spotted when Shakira attended the Miami Grand Prix last month, and they seem to have shared an intimate dinner afterwards.
    Videos appeared to show the Hips Don’t Lie singer and the Formula One legend mingling in the popular restaurant, Cipriani, in Miami.
    Only days after the dinner, Lewis showed off his chivalry when he whisked the Colombian songstress off for a boat day with pals in Miami.
    Shakira was grinning as they cruised around Biscayne Bay with pals, before being dropped off at the dock of her £12million mansion.
    They were later photographed together at a dinner with friends, following Hamilton’s race at the Spanish Grand Prix – and Hamilton’s arm was wrapped around her.
    The pair headed out for dinner after the race with singer Mustafa sharing snaps of the group on Instagram.
    Despite the rumours, other sources close to the couple claim they’re “just friends”.

    On the stories he shared on Instagram, the goalkeeper was seen enjoying some karting at the Carlos Sainz karting centre in Madrid.
    And while wearing a red race suit, the Belgium international was seen on the top step of the podium, lifting a trophy before spraying his friends with champagne.
    The former Chelsea star, who left Stamford Bridge in 2018, also issued a group photo showing him and his friends enjoying a night out in Budapest.

    Inside West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen & Dani Dyer’s fairytale romance as ‘proposal expected any day now’… with Danny’s blessing

    FINDING a partner your parents approve of is hard enough – but it’s almost impossible when you’re the daughter of TV’s most famous hardman.Dani Dyer appears to have finally managed it, however, after settling down with West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen, who last night steered her dad Danny’s favourite team to their first trophy in over 40 years.
    Dani and Jarrod have enjoyed dates together at Ascot race course dressed to the ninesCredit: danidyer/Instagram
    Danny and Jarrod are firm friends and the actor is hoping the pair will get marriedCredit: Instagram
    Danny jokes he’s fallen even more in love with Jarrod, 26, than his daughter since the new parents met in 2021 and hilariously has even joined in with fans’ X-rated terrace chant: “Bowen’s on fire and he’s sh***ing Dani Dyer.”
    The EastEnders actor, 45, and footballer were pictured together with babes in arms two weeks ago after Dani, 26, gave birth to twins.
    And when Jarrod scored the winning goal to clinch the Europa Conference League title for West Ham this week, a delighted Danny shared a snap of his daughter’s man holding the trophy, captioned: “F****** perfect”.
    Now, insiders claim that Danny and his family are desperate for the winger to get down on one knee and make Dani – who also has a son, Santiago, with her ex Sammy Kimmence – a bride.

    Engagement ‘any day now’
    A source close to the couple said: “Everyone’s saying they’ll be engaged any day now. They’re a proper family – they’ve just moved into a new house together and both sides of the family love them as a couple.
    “It’s Dani’s dream to be married now she’s a mum of three – Jarrod has really stepped up as a dad to Santi and they’re so happy together.

    “All their friends are expecting an engagement announcement any day soon – she’d say yes in a flash. It’s something they’ve talked about a lot.”
    The couple met not long after Dani’s former long-term boyfriend Kimmence was jailed for swindling pensioners out of thousands of pounds – leaving her to cope as a single mum.
    Most read in Football
    Previously, the TV star shot to fame thanks to her Love Island romance with Jack Fincham, but the pair split just months after leaving the villa.
    When her romance with Jarrod was first revealed, Dani said: “Everything is so early days. Jarrod is a lovely guy, and we’re enjoying getting to know each other.
    “But Santi will always be my main priority, he will always come first.
    “I am concentrating on being a mum and, beyond that, whatever happens, happens.”
    Stepdad duties
    Jarrod is regularly seen carrying little Santiago and taking him to his gamesCredit: danidyerxx/Instagram
    Within months Jarrod had become a firm fixture in Dani’s life and appears to be loved by Santi, two, who calls him JayJay.
    The couple welcomed twin girls Summer and Star in May, and their relationship appears to be going from strength to strength.
    While Dani was pregnant, Jarrod helped Santiago do an ultrasound to see how his little sisters were developing.
    Shortly after their birth, Dani wrote on social media: “Our first week together and enjoying every moment of the newborn bubble.
    “It’s been amazing watching Santi be a big brother he has melted my heart in ways I couldn’t imagine and he just feels like such a big boy all of a sudden.
    “My heart feels so so full and so excited for our journey together as a family of 5.”
    The West Ham ace slotted quickly into family life as a stepdad and is often photographed by Dani bonding with his stepson – even taking the tot in full West Ham kit on the pitch after games.
    Danny smitten
    Actor Danny is a big fan of his daughter’s boyfriend and jokes he loves Jarrod moreCredit: Instagram
    It’s not just the toddler who is a fan. Dani’s dad is a lifelong Hammers fan and has joked about how smitten he is with his daughter’s other half.
    “I’m probably more in love with your boyfriend than you are,” the EastEnders actor joked on his podcast with Dani, Sorted with the Dyers.
    The family have been keen for things to become official between the pair since last November.
    A source said: “Dani definitely thinks he’s The One, and she’d love a ring on her finger.
    “They’re in a really happy place, and she knows there’s no need to rush things, but she would love or him to propose and friends think it could be on the cards.
    “A Christmas engagement would be lovely. She’s had a tough time in past relationships, but she’s finally got her fairy tale.”
    Sadly, no ring materialised over Christmas and now the family are hoping this summer could see the footballer get down on one knee.
    Even after being with Jarrod for a few months, Dani already had his seal of approval.
    She said: “My dad thinks Jarrod’s a lovely guy. He’s invested in all of the West Ham players – because he supports the team and follows some of them, he’s like: ‘They’re all my friends.’ I’m like: ‘Right, OK, Dad.’
    “But he’s always been such a big football fan. As soon as Santi was born, the West Ham babygros were coming in from Grandad.”
    Footie banter
    Dani is vocal in her support of Jarrod’s careerCredit: Instagram
    Former Islander Dani certainly appears to be taking her duties as a WAG seriously and is regularly snapped at Jarrod’s games – even when heavily pregnant.
    However, ahead of the Europa Conference League final, the star couldn’t rely on his family life to give him a break from the pressures of the day job.
    Ahead of the clash, he joked: “The missus’ old man is obviously on me every week.”
    Following the win over Fiorentina, Dani shared a story with a photo of Jarrod saying: “So proud”.
    Their romance has infamously inspired an X-rated song by Hammers fans, and Jarrod was left unimpressed last night when a fan stormed on to the pitch singing it during an interview with BT Sport.
    But at least Danny has at least been able to see the funny side.
    After the Hammers beat Lyon to reach the semi finals of the competition back in April, he joked on Instagram: “Jarrod Bowen is on fire…and he’s… cuddling me daughter or something. So proud. What a f***ing night.”
    New family home

    Over the course of their relationship, Dani has not been shysharing her love for the footballer in a flood of gushing Instagram tributes.
    On their first anniversary, she wrote: “One year of loving you… Happy Anniversary baby… your the boyfriend I’ve always dreamed of having… grateful for someone as kind and special as you.”
    The couple have been away on several luxury holidays and even visited Disneyland with Santiago. They’ve also enjoyed dates at spa The Cave Hotel, Ascot races and the Bulgari Hotel Milano.
    In March, they moved into a gorgeous new home ahead of welcoming their twins and celebrated with booze-free prosecco.

    Watch as Rangers hero Scott Arfield leaves guests stunned as he performs his own SONG at wedding

    RANGERS fans were left gutted when Scott Arfield left the club at the end of the season.The midfielder is on the lookout for a new club but he’s been keeping himself busy in the meantime – delighting fans in the process!

    The song went down a stormCredit: INSTAGRAM
    Arfield, 34, has been spotted performing his own SONG at his best mate’s wedding.
    The Ibrox hero was the best man for the ceremony and he certainly didn’t disappoint.
    Instead of the traditional speech, Arfield picked up his guitar, got up behind the mic and performed his very own song in tribute to his pal.
    It’s fair to say the track went down an absolute storm.

    The video was posted by Arfield’s pal Stevie Jukes, the lead singer of Scots band Saint Phnx who themselves have a long-standing connection with Rangers.
    The wedding guests are quickly left in stitches by Arfield’s songs and by the end of it everyone is standing up, singing and clapping along to the chorus of “let’s all raise a glass.”
    Fans were loving it on social media too, posting across Instagram and TikTok.
    One said: “Is there anything this man can’t do?”
    Most read in Football
    A second added: “Just when you think you couldn’t love the guy any more.”
    A third said: “Love him. Amazing guy, hero to us.”
    Nobody should be that surprised about Arfield’s musical talents.
    That’s because he almost quit football to become a rock star back in the day!
    While playing for Falkirk, Arfield was the lead singer of an indie band called The Begbies.
    But ex-Bairns gaffer Eddie May convinced him to ditch his music ambitions to focus on football.
    Arfield previously spoke about how he learned to play the guitar after watching videos on YouTube.
    During his time at Burnley, he said: “I’ve got a good repertoire of songs.
    “If there’s a guitar there, and I’ve had a few beers, I can get a party going.
    “I’ve brought it into Burnley a couple of times, played a Take That song and the boys all started singing.
    “I love music. The Clash’s Should I Stay or Should I Go was the first song I learnt on guitar, simplest chords ever.
    “But I’m more a Britpop, indie guy. Blur! The first song I got into was Girls & Boys.
    “I can’t get into heavy metal.
    “I can watch the guitarists [like Eddie van Halen and Slash] and think they’re so talented but I could never ever put it on.”
    Arfield was one of five major Ibrox departures at the end of the season just gone.
    After the 2-2 draw against Hearts, the title-winner bid an emotional farewell to the fans alongside Allan McGregor, Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Filip Helander.
