Josep ‘Pep’ Guardiola, the Manchester City manager, and Cristina Serra, his wife, have reportedly parted ways after 30 years together.

According to Sport, a Barcelona-based newspaper, the estranged couple agreed to separate in December 2024 but asked family and friends not to make their separation public.

Serra was said to have left Manchester with one of their children in 2019 to return to Barcelona to oversee her fashion company.

The entrepreneur had been shuttling the two countries for the past five years to spend time with her family before they agreed to split.

It was however reported that despite their separation, their relationship remains “cordial, stable and friendly”.

Guardiola and Serra met in 1994 when they were both 23 and 20 respectively. They started dating since then

They however did not not tie the knot until 20 years later on May 19, 2014. Their union has been blessed with three children: Maria, Marius, and Valentina.

Guardiola is a former football player who made 466 appearances for clubs and country during his career.

He has also had a successful managerial career and is even referred to as one of the greatest managers in football.

Guardiola has coached in Spain, Germany, and England. He has also won dozens of trophies during his managerial career.

Kassia Sule, the former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, has revealed that she was not ready for marriage when Kellyrae proposed.

In October 2024, Kellyrae became the first married man to win the BBNaija show. The reality star took home the grand prize of N100 million.

The lovebirds got married in February 2024 after dating for 10 years.

In an interview on WithChude, Kassia said she had been eager to marry Kellyrae for a long time, but her mindset shifted in 2023.

The reality star said she realised that marriage no longer felt like fulfillment so she focused on self-improvement.

Kassia said despite her uncertainty, she accepted Kellyrae’s proposal.

“I have been waiting forever to get married to him, but he delayed, so it happened in 2024. I wasn’t surprised when he proposed but at the time he did, I wasn’t ready for marriage,” she said.

“First, I was ready, but by the time he did, I was not. Three years before he proposed, I was ready for marriage; I do not know if it was because of the pressure I was getting from my family, but in 2023, everything changed.

“At that time, I knew it was not about marriage; it was not a fulfillment. My perspective changed so I thought to be a better person before getting into marriage.

“So, when he proposed, I accepted, but in my mind, I was not sure I was ready. I was happy but confused. I told my best friend, and she encouraged me. We got married, and it has been amazing since then.”

Chloe Bailey, the American singer, has opened up about her relationship with Burna Boy, the Afrofusion star.

During the festive period last year, Bailey, 26, and Burna Boy were spotted together at Obi’s House, a nightlife club in Lagos.

Their outing sparked rumours that the two singers were dating.

But in a recent interview on the Breakfast Club podcast, the host asked Bailey if she was bringing a date to the 2025 NAACP Awards.

The singer replied that she would be attending with her godmother and manager.

When asked about Burna Boy, Bailey chose not to confirm or deny the dating rumours. She, however, said she is focused on her positive experiences in Nigeria.

“Nigeria was so beautiful. I had the best time. I ate some good food. I ate pepper soup. I ate some spicy chicken. It was really good. At the nightlife? It was so good. There were so many lights,” she said.

“I am a grown woman. I had a great time in Nigeria. He is a grown man just like I am a grown woman”.

“It is my life. It is what I signed up for. I can only expect it. It is just about how I handle it and myself. I do not think it should ever be pissing towards people asking me.”
