Fans called it a “revenge dress” after ex Ben ­Affleck spent time with former wife Jennifer Garner.

Back in August, J-Lo and Ben called it quits after less than two years of marriage.

The A-listers tied the knot in a July 2022 Las Vegas ceremony and had a more extravagant celebration the following month in Georgia.

Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben after months of split speculation.

JLo filed legal documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court pro per – meaning without an attorney.

The Atlas actress listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.

Ironically, the date of the filing, August 20, is the second anniversary of the ex-couple’s traditional wedding ceremony they held in Georgia.

The Sun recently revealed Jennifer is planning to head back into the studio to use her heartbreak as inspiration for a new album.

A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun J-Lo’s album is shaping up to be her “most emotional yet”.

Man Utd WON’T replace Dan Ashworth as club ditch sporting director role but axed chief already lined up by Arsenal

MANCHESTER UNITED have ditched the role of sporting director after their failed Dan Ashworth experiment.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe axed Ashworth following Saturday’s 3-2 home loss to Nottingham Forest.

Ashworth, now a target for Prem rivals Arsenal, was United’s first ever sporting director.

But he is gone after just five months — with the post consigned to history.

Red Devils part-owner Ratcliffe decided that his Ineos right-hand man Sir Dave Brailsford, United chief exec Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox will share the responsibilities of the position.

Ashworth, 53, was forced out of Old Trafford after losing a power battle with ex-City executive Berrada.

The pair had a huge fall-out over how the club should move forward in a bid to get back to the top of English football.

But Ashworth, who worked at Newcastle, Brighton, West Brom and the FA, could be offered a swift return.

Arsenal are assessing options to replace Edu as sporting director at the Emirates and Ashworth’s unexpected availability has caught their eye.

Ashworth has a close relationship with Gunners managing director Richard Garlick, who is leading the search to land a new sporting director.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

Inside Man Utd chaos amid Ashworth departure

THE blame game has another victim as things go from bad to worse at Old Trafford.

Manchester United’s first sporting director, Dan Ashworth, arrived in the summer and is gone before Christmas.

SunSport exclusively revealed last month that there was trouble at mill.

That the new senior management team were already blaming each other for the mess the club were in.

Chief executive Omar Berrada and Ashworth were trying to wash their hands of it all, claiming they had arrived too late after serving their gardening leave.

New part owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said making decisions was all down to them. Meanwhile, Jason Wilcox thought it was all a mess under previous boss Erik ten Hag but was part of the team that encouraged him to stay after every other candidate ran for cover.

There is word Ashworth did not favour appointing his successor and new head coach Ruben Amorim, preferring an English manager with more experience in our game. Perhaps that was why ex-England gaffer Gareth Southgate’s name was always mentioned after they worked together at the FA.

Either way, Saturday’s showing against Nottingham Forest, after their second-half capitulation at Arsenal a few days previously, proved too much.

The pair worked together at West Brom for three years.

Garlick was legal director at The Hawthorns and worked under Ashworth before replacing him as the club’s sporting director when he left to join the FA in 2013.

Everton are also monitoring Ashworth as they wait for The Friedkin Group to complete a takeover.

The club’s prospective new owners are in the process of conducting a structural review, which will lead to new appointments including a chief executive and technical director.

SunSport can reveal Ashworth’s axe will also open the door to further cuts at United.

Ashworth fought against too many cutbacks despite Ratcliffe wanting more.

In total, 250 staff have been made redundant.

But that is not the end as Carrington is set to be targeted again — with the academy and women’s footballing section likely to be streamlined.

Maura Higgins looks incredible in leopard print and Coleen Rooney stuns in yellow at boozy I’m A Celeb Coming Out show

MAURA Higgins looked sensational as she showed off her enviable figure in a gorgeous figure-hugging dress at the boozy I’m A Celeb wrap party.

The TV personality looked fantastic as she made her way into the A-list bash to mingle with her fellow campmates for the annual Coming Out party.

The brunette bombshell’s tresses were effortlessly styled as she strutted her stuff into the bash.

Maura’s comic one-liners made her a favourite in this year’s camp after she entered late alongside eventual third placed star Rev. Richard Coles.

Elsewhere, Coleen Rooney was a vision in yellow as the stunning star posed for snaps before heading into the ITV party.

The media personality looked as impressive as ever as she opted for a long dress which featured a knee-high split right up the middle.

Having just finished in second place in the contest, the mum-of-four could not wipe the smile off her face as she enjoyed her first night of freedom after 23 days in the camp.

All of this year’s campmates – except N-Dubz star and The X Factor judge Tulisa – reunited to film scenes for the ITV Coming Out programme set to air this Friday.

The show follows each of the stars as they adjust to normal life after life in the Aussie jungle.

Scenes from the final party will also be screened with the stars finally getting a chance to catch-up as a group.

The Sun’s Jane Moore looked stunning as she rocked a dreamy white gown for the party.

Her incredibly glam number fully exposed one of her shoulders and her arm as she could be seen laughing with Oti Mabuse, GK Barry and Alan Halsall.

TikTok star and podcaster GK also opted for a similarly glam number as she could be seen drinking and dancing with her new jungle pals.

CLEAR KING

After the final which saw McFly star Danny Jones crowned the King of the Jungle, voting percentages showed that he comfortably secured the win against his rivals.

McFly singer Danny, 38, won with 55.21 per cent of the vote, while runner-up Coleen Rooney scored 44.79 per cent.

He had an emotional reunion with his wife Georgia and their six-year-old son Cooper as he crossed the famous jungle bridge last night.

After the ITV series finished on air, Danny joined fellow celebrities and their loves ones at a nearby hotel in Australia where he was seen beaming with his I’m A Celeb crown still on.

The musician is said to be in talks for massive new TV roles following his success in the jungle.

He is already a judge on The Voice UK, alongside his bandmate Tom Fletcher, but insiders said telly bosses are keen to sign him up for more shows.

ITV bosses are keen to secure Danny long-term as one of its main players, alongside family favourites including Joel Dommett and Bradley Walsh.

I lost 13 STONE after reading two words on my doctor’s computer screen which left me horrified

A MUM who lost 13st is Slimming World’s Woman of the Year.

Ali Ridgley, 52, was 23st at her heaviest and was spurred into action after seeing “morbidly obese” on her medical notes.

Ali Ridgley, 52, was 23st, but lost 13st after seeing what her doctor had written about her on his computer
Ali when she was at her heaviest

The military mess manager, of Plymouth, said: “I was a heart attack waiting to happen.”

She is now healthy enough to train for a marathon, runs her own dance classes, and takes pride in staying a ‘foodie’ throughout her weight loss journey.

Ali added: “Ultimately, I started this journey because I wanted to live life to the fullest – and that’s what I feel I can do now.

“These days I’m not a heart attack waiting to happen – I’m the woman I always wanted to be.”

She began by transforming her eating habits, and as the weight started to drop, she successfully incorporated exercise into her daily routine.

Ali, who shares a home with her 24-year-old daughter Rosie, dove straight into Slimming World’s healthy eating plan.

She added: “The way I cook and eat now has become so natural it’s effortless.

“Each pound I’ve lost has helped me to become the confident, fit and strong woman I am today and I’m so proud of myself.

“I’m so glad that I didn’t go down the bariatric surgery route.”

We’ll believe Labour’s purge on waste only if — this time — it finally bears fruit

Wasted words

“EVERY pound” of spending will now be scrutinised to get value for taxpayers’ money. We wish we had a pound for every time Governments have promised that.

They all say it. And the gargantuan Whitehall waste continues.

We’ll believe Labour’s purge on waste only if — this time — it finally bears fruit[/caption]

We wish Chancellor Rachel Reeves well if she really is intent on “totally rewiring how the Government spends money”.

But politics will always prevail.

Foreign aid, for instance, is now a byword for waste, totalling billions a year. Will ministers really axe it?

How about the idiotic deal where we PAY to give away our Chagos Islands? Or the vast bungs to France despite them failing to keep back migrants?

Ms Reeves vows to act with an “iron fist against waste”.

Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden yesterday had warm words about Elon Musk’s US efficiency drive.

Forgive our scepticism, but we’ll believe Labour’s purge on waste only if — this time — it finally bears fruit.

Bins laden

A LOCAL council has no duty more ­fundamental than collecting the bins weekly or at the very least every fortnight.

So it is staggering that the Government has abandoned Tory plans to force local authorities to do so.

The omens are not good.

In Labour-run Wales only a handful of councils still collect each fortnight. The rest do so every three weeks or even every month.
The result, predictably, is maggots, rats and rotting rubbish spilling from bins.

Yet, incredibly, council tax will soar again next year because Town Halls have been allowed to raise it by an inflation-busting five per cent.

A word of warning to all politicians:

Voters tend to notice their streets degenerating into stinking, vermin infested slums.

They will not forgive the councillors responsible, nor the Government which let it happen.

Keep them out

SHAMIMA Begum must have no right to return to Britain regardless of whether chaos now engulfs the Syrian camp where she is held.

She made a life with IS terrorists and is rightly paying the price with the loss of her citizenship.

The same ban must extend to the British wife of Syria’s fugitive ex-dictator Bashar al-Assad.

Asma Assad is up to her neck in the blood of his tyranny, whatever she might try to pretend.

She and the butchering billionaire have been given sanctuary by the Kremlin. A pity, but let them live out their days in Moscow looking over their shoulders in fear of vengeance.

She must not return to London.

Boost in battle to stop Channel migrants as Germany vows to tighten laws to thwart supply and storage of small boats

GERMANY last night pledged to tighten their laws to thwart the supply and storage of small boats.

A legal loophole means authorities are unable to seize dangerous inflatable dinghies earmarked for illegal Channel crossings.

But on a visit to London, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser committed to bear down on smuggling gangs by changing the law.

After signing a Joint Action Plan with Yvette Cooper for greater security cooperation, she said: “It will help us end the inhumane activities of criminal migrant smuggling organisations.

“By cramming people into inflatable boats under threats of violence and sending them across the Channel, these organisations put human lives at risk.”

Ms Cooper said: “Germany is already a key partner in our efforts to crack down on migrant smuggling, but there is always more we can do together.”

However the change hinges on the next German government following through, with incumbent chancellor Olaf Sholz widely expected to lose next year’s elections.

Home Secretary Ms Cooper will chair a meeting of the migration-focused Calais Group in London today, consisting of Britain, Germany, France, Netherlands and Belgium.

Ex-BBC foreign correspondent jailed for paying to watch live streams of children being sexually exploited

A FORMER BBC foreign correspondent has been jailed for paying to watch live streams of children being sexually exploited.

Duncan Bartlett, 52, admitted 35 offences including funding abuse of kids in the Philippines.

Ex-BBC Tokyo correspondent Duncan Bartlett has been jailed for paying to watch live streams of children being sexually exploited

He was once the BBC’s Tokyo correspondent and spent 15 years at the BBC World Service.

He left the Beeb in 2015.

He was arrested in 2021 and his electronic devices seized.

Nearly 6,000 indecent images of children were found, as well as evidence of payments.

Bartlett, of Bloomsbury, West London, was jailed for eight years at Wood Green crown court.

Det Con Emily Dawson said afterwards: “Over seven years, Bartlett made multiple payments to people in the Philippines asking that they arrange children to be sexually exploited for his own gratification.”

“With close liaison work with our counterparts in the Philippines, we managed to identify and safeguard some of these children while several adults were arrested.

“Bartlett’s behaviour was utterly abhorrent but thanks to the painstaking work of detectives, a case documenting his offending was put together – this left him with no option but to admit his guilt.”

The ex-Tory donor, who is married to pop star Holly Valance, is the latest big name signing for Reform UK as they aggressively pursue new opposition leader Kemi Badenoch.

The multi-millionaire developer said: “I have resigned my membership of the Conservative Party after many years of active support and substantial donations to the party.

“I am sorry to say there have been too many broken promises and a complete breach of trust with the wealth creators in our country.

He added: “Nigel Farage is a close personal friend of mine, and Reform UK represents the future of British politics.”

Mr Farage “warmly welcomed” the defection a week after ex-Tory Minister Dame Andrea Jenkyns also jumped ship.

There had been mounting speculation former Home Secretary Suella Braveman would also switch sides to the right wing challengers.

But last night she denied the claims.

However her partner Rael did defect, with Mrs Braverman saying: “My husband and I have a healthy respect for each other’s independence – he doesn’t tell me how to do my job, and I don’t tell him how to pick a political party.”
