James Middleton, the dog-loving brother of Kate, was seen at this year’s Crufts as he mingled with visitors at the prestigious Birmingham event.

The entrepreneur, who runs the dog food and lifestyle brand Ella & James, spent time at the Medical Detection Dogs stand, crouching down to fuss over pups and chatting with attendees as if he’d been part of the team all along. 

The charity later shared on Instagram, “It was lovely to have James Middleton from Ella & James on our Crufts stand today! He met clients, joined a demo, and made everyone feel like part of the family.”

Thousands of dog owners and their companions descended on the four day extravaganza. 

Among the highlights, Claudia Winkleman hosted day one, describing her time at the show as “the best day of my life,” as she joined the Southern Golden Retriever Display Team for a choreographed rehearsal. 

Even comparisons to her wedding fell short, she joked.

Amanda Holden also joined the fun. “I bathe with my dog,” Holden quipped, responding to Winkleman’s admission that she gives her dog Skip a “French kiss.”

James celebrated National Golden Retriever Day, sharing a heartfelt image of his golden retriever, Isla, on social media.

Dua Lipa made her father Dukagjin Lipa’s special day extra sweet with a heartwarming tribute.

Taking to her Instagram grid on Thursday, March 5, the Levitating hitmaker shared an adorable birthday message to mark her father’s new personal milestone.

She lovingly penned, “Happy Birthday twin bestie @dukagjinlipa.” Punctuated with a red heart emoji, the American-Albanian pop star added, “I love you so much.”

Alongside the text, the One Kiss songstress posted a series of her photos with her proud father, offering a glimpse into the father-daughter duo’s close bond.

Taking a trip down memory lane, the Kosovan-Albanian entrepreneur’s daughter shared images of a young Dukagjin, holding, kissing and playing with baby Dua.

Other photos were from their recent outings and stage performances together.

For the unversed, Dukagjin, who is a marketing expert and former rock musician, officially managed the Radical Optimism tour superstar’s career since 2022.

In the 1980s and early 90s he was the lead singer and guitarist for the Kosovan rock band Oda.

The CEO and founder of Republika Communications also founded a major international music festival, named Sunny Hill Festival, in Pristina to promote Kosovo’s culture.

Dua, 30, has previously headlined the event and even performed duets with her dad on stage.

Interestingly, on the same day as her father’s birthday, she also reposted a video from the festival’s official page on her Instagram Stories, announcing that tickets for this year are now on sale.

Cruz Beckham and Jackie Apostel exuded perfect couple goals as they stepped out in France for Paris Fashion Week on Thursday. 

The couple sweetly held hands as they arrived at their lavish hotel, chauffeur privately.

As for Jackie’s style, she cut a stylish figure in a pink faux-fur coat paired with blue denim jeans and chic burgundy high heels.

Meanwhile, the young son of Sir David and Victoria Beckham embraced the spring weather shorts and a leather jacket. 

They arrived in Paris just a day after Cruz and his band, The Breakers, performed on stage at The Deaf Institute in Manchester. 

For the unversed, David Beckham made sure to support his son by attending the performance, watching his 21-year-old son and his band take the stage alongside former player Nicky Butt.

Just hours earlier, David, Victoria, Cruz, and Romeo sent birthday wishes to Brooklyn via Instagram posts to mark his 27th birthday. 

The public olive branch came six weeks after Brooklyn made a bombshell statement declaring that he had no wishes to reconcile with his father.
