Daisy Lowe marries partner of five years Jordan Saul in low-key London ceremony
Congratulations are in order for Daisy Lowe, who has married long-term partner Jordan Saul. The couple had a low-key affair in London, surrounded by family - Daisy's dad Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale wasn't present, but he is expected to attend a bigger ceremony later in the year. The wedding was attended by property developer Jordan's family and friends, along with Daisy's mother Pearl and her stepfather Danny Goffey, as well as her godmother Zoe Grace, and her half-siblings Betty, Alfie and Frankie. Betty shared some gorgeous photos of the post-wedding reception, where guests tucked into pasta and tiramisu at Brutto, an Italian restaurant in East London. Daisy and Jordan met while they were walking their dogs in lockdown, and they welcomed daughter Ivy two years ago. The model recently said she would be 'moving to, and marrying in Somerset' where her parents Pearl and Danny live. She told Somerset Life magazine: 'I will coordinate Ivy with me and my bridesmaids, she'll be a little flower girl but I'm still trying to figure it all out.' 'Jordan is really practical whereas I'm the creative one, so I need him to make certain decisions and he lets me get on with the creative stuff,' she said. 'But having a toddler, planning a wedding and a new home is quite a lot.' Speaking to the Standard in 2023, the star said motherhood, while 'very special', had been 'harder' than she had anticipated. She said: 'Everyone says it is hard, but that is always theoretical [before you have a baby] and then in practice, you are like: 'This is really hard!' Nothing can prepare you. It is extraordinary [...] It is very special.' She said her father, Gavin Rossdale, had travelled over to London to visit his grandchild when she was nine weeks old. Daisy found out Gavin was her dad when she was a teen, after taking a paternity test. The model said: 'He asked me how I am. And I said I am so lucky and I am so grateful, but it is so hard.' She said he replied: 'I really want you to remember that you are not just that, it is really important for you and for her that you know you are not only mum.' 'It was really kind and insightful, and I have thought about that a lot. To be the best mum to her I have to look after myself as well. If I am not looking after myself, then I am useless to her.'

Sophia Bush: What Celebrating Pride Means to Me This Year
Bush (right) and Ashlyn Harris pictured in May 2025 in Telluride, Colo. Credit - Rey Joaquin Pride Month tends to arrive in a confetti burst of color. Parades bring music, energy, and acceptance to the streets. But in 2025, things feel different. What a surreal time to be celebrating Pride. On a personal note, stepping publicly into my queerness has felt like freedom. I've never felt more at home in myself. Falling so unexpectedly in love with the woman I now call my partner has felt like magic. Like rock becoming water, toughness and difficulty have shifted into flow, and now things move with ease. Like so many women I know who have been through their own seismic transitions, I find myself done trying to model the fairytales I was raised on. Done trying to mold myself into a version of what I saw on TV—of what I often played on TV. There is such a delicious, primal feeling that comes when you stop contorting yourself to fit outside expectations and start listening to your own voice. Getting here, to this kind of happy—the kind joy I've simultaneously found in my partner and also in myself—took exploring versions of myself for four decades. So if you're still searching, keep it up. It's not too late. Shortly after my relationship became public, my mother called to tell me she was 'shocked' to discover some of her friends were 'more conservative' than she expected. I had to remind her that as a white woman in her late 70s, it's not surprising she has some friends who quietly hold exclusionary views. She was so bothered by one particular conversation. A 'friend' had called her and said, 'Well! This can't be true. I mean, your daughter isn't gay.' My mom said she could feel the nastiness in the way the woman emphasized the word. And without missing a beat, she told me, 'You know what I said?! I said, 'Oh honey, I think she's pretty gay. And she's happy.' One thing I've observed again and again since sharing my story of finding love with a woman: to some people, queer happiness will always be seen as a threat. I will never understand why. In a world already overflowing with pain and uncertainty, why would anyone try to deny more love? More joy? For all the happiness and gratification that has come with my love story, I also struggle with the incongruity of it all: the safety and peace we have built inside our home, and the whiplash of walking out into a world where that safety and ease are not guaranteed for everyone in our community, because LGBTQ+ rights are under attack. This is what's on my mind during Pride Month in 2025. Members of the right wing are working hard to roll back civil rights protections, trying to undo marriage equality, dismantle anti-discrimination laws, and strip away access to life-saving health care (it's unbelievable to me that I have to type that sentence). The Trump administration is shutting down the crisis hotline that helps save the lives of LGBTQ+ youth. The so-called 'party of family values' turns a blind eye to the fact that 40% of all homeless youth in America are unhoused because they have been kicked out of their homes for being gay, or lesbian, or trans, or bisexual, or queer. I can't imagine loving a child only under certain conditions. Loving them only if they become who you want them to be, instead of who they are. I recognize the privilege I grew up with, thanks to my parents—parents who had a large, gorgeous, artistic community filled with gay friends. Parents who took me to Pride parades in Los Angeles all my life. Parents who love my partner. A mom who texts me reflections on our relationship every time we have dinner, most recently: 'My heart is so full seeing the joy, love and comfort you bring to each other. It's so heartwarming and so natural to you both. I love you both very much.' What my parents want, and what every parent should want, is a happy kid. Plain and simple. But for so many in the LGBTQ+ community today, the violence begins at home and only expands out in the world. Queer love has always been an act of resistance, and maybe that's something people have forgotten—public education in the U.S. is being gutted, after all. Books that reflect our love are being banned. This administration is going after inclusion like it's the ultimate threat. They are trying to limit words that give people language for who they are, as if through erasing the language, they can erase the people. But this kind of harm doesn't stop at queer folks. It hurts everyone. Gay. Straight. Women. Men. Our trans friends. Your children. Everyone and anyone who has ever been on the outside of the ruling class. Because the truth is our freedoms are all connected: if some of us lose our rights, it means the rest are vulnerable too. I am celebrating Pride Month this year, wholeheartedly and with all the love I carry for my identity and for this community—but I also want to remember how hard won these traditions really are. We can't take LGBTQ+ history for granted. Pride started as a protest. Being 'out' was an open act of defiance in the face of police brutality and subjugation. Without Marsha P. Johnson and the activists of the 1960s and 1970s, we would have no Pride Month. We would have no rights. The freedoms we have today cost people their safety, their homes, their blood, sweat, and tears. People were beaten at Stonewall just for refusing to hide. So I appreciate the shirts and bumper stickers and the rainbow confetti and what they communicate—and I love waving the flag with a huge smile on my face. But it can't stop there. Symbols are a start, not the solution. We can't just wear our signals of safety in public, we also have to do the work in private. Wear the t-shirt and call your Congressional representatives. Call them once a week. Demand that they stand up for equal rights protections. Remind them that your values are intersectional and our liberty is bound together. Give what you can. Donate, or better yet, volunteer your time. I know we are all tired and experiencing burnout. We've been through so much—grief, division, political chaos. This moment feels heavy. My suggestion is to seek out the light. Be in community. Commit to showing up. Don't just protect queer people; make space for our joy. Hold the line and show the world that we are not going backwards. I promise you this—it will be some of the most joyful, life-affirming activism you'll ever be a part of. We all need to be clear which side of history we want to be on. I choose the side that loves love. I hope you'll join us. It's nice over here. Plus, we've got good snacks—and even better playlists.

The Iran Emergency
When President Trump said this week that Iran 'cannot have a nuclear weapon' but was perhaps 'a few weeks away from having one,' he was in effect introducing a familiar feature to the public debate over America's involvement in the Israel-Iran war: an element of urgency unsupported by any publicly available facts. Those of us who wrote about the 2003 decision to invade Iraq heard the echo immediately. The run-up to that conflict was replete with alarmist claims that turned out to be false. Vice President Dick Cheney declared, 'There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.' President George W. Bush dismissed fact-finding as an unaffordable impediment: 'We cannot wait for the final proof — the smoking gun — that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.' This time, things are somewhat different. Israel is the nation that sprang to action and Trump is debating whether to help out. And if he does, it seems unlikely that he'll want Americans to stay and reshape Iran, given his dislike of foreign entanglements. But in both cases, the rationale pointed to an imminent crisis that simply could not be ignored. Today's newsletter is about that parallel. The smoking gun No weapons of mass destruction ever turned up in Iraq. A post-9/11 hysteria about what could happen next, rather than actual evidence, impelled American policymakers to war.
