In 2013, the star gave birth to a son named Desmond, but she tends to keep her private life away from the spotlight.
She did talk about Desmond in 2016, saying: 'He's so funny and easy. He has his moments, but it's cool – me and his dad are friends. We raised him together and we split the week in half.
'He's hella musical, he makes up little songs. He's got like three songs that he's about to drop.'
Natassia is also a businesswoman now, as well as a rapper and mum to Desmond.

Katie Price's boyfriend 'unfollowed' Conor McGregor after he cosied up to her
There's buzz that JJ Slater, Katie Price's beau, has hit the 'unfollow' button on Conor McGregor's Instagram account. The rumour mill churns after Katie, 47, was snapped soaking up the sun and fun with the notorious Irish MMA champ, 36, at Wayne Lineker's O Beach club in Ibiza, donning a skimpy red bikini. McGregor has recently made waves with footage surfacing of him allegedly throwing a punch at a chap in a nightclub on the party isle. Words on the street have it that JJ, famed from Married at First Sight UK, un-checked McGregor on Insta following half a year of digital camaraderie sparked when Katie introduced the two at McGregor's pub back in Ireland. It seems JJ opted out of following McGregor upon spotting images of him and Katie loving life in Ibiza. An insider divulged to The Sun: "Katie was already following Conor on socials, and after that he followed her back and JJ also started following Conor. Now, after Katie was snapped partying with Conor in Ibiza, JJ has unfollowed Conor." The source added that JJ wasn't chuffed with the snaps of Katie and Conor painting the town in Ibiza, saying "He didn't like seeing the pictures of them having a whale of a time on the party island, he thought it looked disrespectful.", reports the Daily Star. The Daily Star is on the case, reaching out to JJ's reps for their take. One eye-catching shot from Ibiza showcased Katie snuggling up with Conor alongside her top mate Ryan Mira. Posting the pic on his Instagram, Ryan captioned it: "What a day @thenotoriousmma @katieprice [Irish flag emoji]." Wayne Lineker, lord of O Beach, piped up in the comments: "What a guy what a girl what a gay." Not missing a beat, Katie re-broadcasted Ryan's post on her own Instagram Stories, and Conor went on to share a snapshot featuring him with the ex-glamour model. Katie Price was pictured looking cosy with her man, the ex-UFC champ, who was all smiles in shades and a cap, as he shared a snap with the caption: "'@katieprice forever". Despite experiencing ups and downs, it's believed Katie is eager to walk down the aisle with JJ, whom she has been seeing since last year. Following JJ's diabetes revelation, Katie reached out to him and their spark ignited over coffee. Katie discussed this moment with Woman's Own saying, "I'd read in the paper that he'd got diabetes. I thought, 'Wow, that's quite harsh,' as diabetes is a life-changing thing to have." She contacted JJ expressing concern over his diabetes, which led to an unexpected twist as JJ admitted to feeling embarrassed because he'd messaged her two years prior without a response, leading Katie to reflect, "I messaged and said, 'I hope you're okay with your diabetes'. And he said, 'Oh, I'm really embarrassed.' I went 'Why?' Turns out he'd messaged me two years ago but I never saw it. It must have been deleted so it was obviously meant to be." Their relationship went public in February after much speculation, and although Katie admits she's not at her happiest nor feels entirely free, she clarifies that her feelings are no reflection on JJ, hinting it's something she needs to address for herself. She describes him as, "He's the most kindest, genuine, easygoing, chilled person. But do I feel my most happiest and do I feel free? No. It's not a reflection on him, maybe that's what I need to change for myself."

Dua Lipa celebrates sold-out Aviva Stadium gig by ‘splitting the G' with fellow stars at Dublin pub
The Houdini singer, who performed her biggest ever Irish show at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night, said there was 'only one way to celebrate' after selling out five stadiums in a row on her latest tour. Lipa (29) let her hair down in a local pub with her well-known fiancé Callum Turner (35) and her team, including former Disney Channel star Dove Cameron (29), who supported her on stage. Earlier this month, the three-time Grammy winner confirmed her engagement to actor Turner, who starred in Apple TV series Masters of the Air and the film franchise Fantastic Beasts. Cameron's boyfriend Damiano David, the lead singer of Eurovision-winning band Måneskin, was also pictured enjoying the post-show celebrations. Sharing photos and videos of her night-out with her almost 90 million followers on Instagram, Lipa wrote: '5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!' The star shared videos of her successful attempt at the viral trend, which involves 'splitting the G' of the Guinness logo on the first sip of a pint, while popular local pizza spot Bambino supplied the food. It is not the first time a global star has endorsed the business, with American rapper Lil Yachty wearing a Bambino t-shirt on stage at the 3Arena last month. The crew also danced to trad music and the Don McClean classic 'American Pie' as Lipa posed for photos. Her acclaimed Irish show marked the final stop on the European leg of her Radical Optimism tour, with Lipa performing her chart-topping hits like One Kiss, Levitating, Don't Start Now and New Rules. 'Dublin, you blow me away every time but last night was extra special!' she said, sharing photos from her gig on Instagram. "Thank you for the warmest of welcomes in your beautiful city! We just played to a sold out Avivaaaaa Stadium!' Her set also included a tribute to the late Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, with Lipa performing a cover of O'Connor's iconic rendition of the Prince song Nothing Compares 2 U. It came just days after American popstar Olivia Rodrigo paid tribute to another Irish act. The Driver's Licence singer played a cover of Fontaines DC hit I Love You during a sold-out gig at Dublin's Marley Park on Tuesday.

Kevin Penrose has received a huge number of messages from other LGBTQ+ sports
Kevin Penrose, the GAA player and online influencer, has been inundated with messages of support from fellow LGBTQ+ individuals in rural Ireland since he bravely came out as gay. He's been candid about his journey, discussing how he distanced himself from sports while grappling with his sexual identity. Highlighting the significance of proper education and challenging inappropriate language, Kevin expressed his newfound joy in playing football again. Kevin told RSVP Live: "It has been three years since I came out. When I first came out I got a lot of messages locally, people saying congratulations and well done. This year has been like coming out again, but this time to the nation. "I have gotten an amount of messages from lads in rural communities who have been through the same journey, or are going through it. It puts it all into perspective about how common my story is and how people don't talk about it. "It is nice when people message and ask for advice, it is no longer my story, it is their story as well. "Hopefully more people will feel more comfortable to come forward and share their own stories. I feel like coming out is the last taboo subject within the GAA." Kevin wanted to share his experience to help other people in similar situations, but comments sections of social media have asked why he feels the need to "come out" and why he doesn't focus on GAA. He explained: "People ask why I have to come out and talk about my sexuality and not just play the sport. They don't see the other side of it and the experiences I had. "I had to drop out because I didn't feel comfortable in that environment and I couldn't play to my full potential on the pitch. "You see the same comments over and over online, but have these people even read the article or listened to the podcast. They see a headline and they just jump on it. "They haven't taken the time to understand the story. They think nobody will see their comment. "The only place I see comments like that is on Facebook, it is not the same on Instagram or TikTok. If that person saw you in the street they wouldn't come up and say it to your face." Does he face much negativity online? "I have been on social media for years, so I don't look for it or maybe I am immune to it. "You could end up down a dark rabbit hole. Most of the time it is a blank profile. If you engage with them it is unlikely they will change their minds." Once Kevin came out, his friends and teammates reached out to him. He said: "My closest friends said, 'Sorry you felt like that and we couldn't help, sorry you were suffering in silence.' I distanced myself from them and fell off the radar and, for them, they felt sad that I couldn't open up to them and come to them with my problems. "I grew up with them and played with them week in, week out, so to go from that to no contact was hard. "Everyone has been encouraging and they have reassured me that there is nothing to worry about." Kevin has been able to call people out for using offensive language and he understands that it all comes down to education. The Tyrone man said: "People who used terminology in the changing rooms or who engaged in conversations that might be seen as banter have apologised a few times. It comes down to a lack of education and experience. "I am the first gay player in the club so they are wondering how to navigate that. They don't know what is right and what is wrong in terms of making me feel comfortable. "I told them it is okay to ask questions and to open up conversations. When I first went back playing there were times where I had to call out some of the lads for their language, but they didn't realise they were wrong. "I think that comes from years of not being called out. It is completely now, the comments and wrong language are non existent on the pitch and off the pitch. "They are a lot more mindful and respectful, which is good. Hopefully that will continue with the younger generations coming up." Kevin feels so much happier now he is back playing for his club Aghyaran again. He said: "Back then, I was there physically, but I wasn't there mentally. I wasn't playing to my full potential. It got to the stage at age 17 and 18 where I was trying to make an impression with the senior team, but I was working for years and I wasn't getting the recognition or starting team. "I wasn't getting game time. My first thought was to tell myself that I wasn't a good footballer. I know myself that I was a good footballer. "I remember being nervous on my first session when I came back. My worries were gone though, I was just there to play football and I was thinking about what anyone was saying about me. "I didn't feel like I needed to act in any way or talk about certain things just to fit it. I have worked very hard to get my starting position on the senior team and I haven't looked back since." Kevin is gearing up for a busy Pride weekend in Dublin. He said: "I am just back from a few days in Connemara. I had football at the end of the week and then I travelled to Dublin for Pride this weekend. "I am hoping to make the parade if I am down in time and then I am going to the Mother Block Party." Kevin was speaking at the launch of SuperValu's new limited edition Pride themed Bag for Life, which is on sale this month in outlets nationwide. All of the profits will be donated to Belong To, the national LGBTQ+ youth organisation. He said: "SuperValu have worked with the GAA on campaigns for a number of years now. This one with Belong To fits perfectly with my story of coming out as gay. "Belong To is a fantastic service and it's something I wish I knew about and had access to when I was growing up. I am delighted and honoured to have been asked to be part of the campaign so I can amplify and share my story. "Hopefully someone else can take courage from it and navigate their own journey."
