British rock icon, 63, expecting baby with wife, 38, after 'secret' wedding

Metroa day ago
An icon of British rock has revealed that he is expecting a baby with his wife after their 'secret' wedding.
Tears for Fears musician Roland Orzabal, 63, shared the news that his wife Emily Rath, 38, is pregnant in a romantic post on Instagram.
His wife can be seen posing in front of a beautiful rock backdrop with plants as she holds her bump.
The couple, who live in the Hollywood Hills, privately tied the knot back in 2020 after the pandemic changed their wedding plans.
Discussing their special day, Emily, who is a photographer, told The Sun: 'We had to postpone our original wedding date in September 2020 because of Covid.
'I felt as all corona brides have been feeling: angry, sad, gypped, and confused as to when we should have a wedding. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLbHUBfxWyk/?hl=en
'Roland and I were in the States for work. We desperately wanted to get married, even just legally, and so to honour our original date, we secretly eloped, just the two of us, atop a mountain in Aspen. It was the most magical moment of my life.
'It breaks my heart that my family could not be there to see it, but no one wanted to risk their safety.
'Two weddings was never my dream, but we adapted, separating the legal wedding from the celebratory wedding to come.'
She went on to say: 'In September we were able to use the autumnal flowers we'd originally wanted, and next year we can have all of the spring flowers!'

Taylor Swift fans lose it over all the hidden details in Travis Kelce snaps that reveal their intimate home life

Taylor Swift 's devoted fans have been dissecting new photos her boyfriend Travis Kelce shared to his Instagram on Thursday, finding subtle hints about the pair's home life. The football star, 35, posted a carousel of images from his summer with the singer, 35, marking it the first time he's featured Taylor on his social media. And fans were quick to note a number of hidden details, showing just how close the power couple have become since going public with their romance in 2023. Among the details was the presence of Taylor's private younger brother, Austin Swift, 33, indicating a growing closeness between their families. In one image Austin was pictured bonding with the Kansas City Chiefs legend and his brother Jason Kelce, 37. In another picture, Austin was seen on a fishing trip with Travis and a friend in the woods. Eagle-eyed fans also noted that Travis' phone background is a photo of him with Taylor. In yet another image, fans spotted Taylor's longtime BFF Ashley Avignone and Este Haim, signaling Travis's growing closeness to Taylor's inner circle of friends. They also pointed out that the slideshow contains 13 photos, a nod to Taylor's well-known lucky number. The first image in Travis' carousel shows the pair matching in white, with him wearing a hat that says 'captain' and her rocking a matching one that says 'first mate.' Travis also shared the images in July, coinciding with the second anniversary of their initial meeting in July 2023, when Travis famously attempted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number. The images also use Taylor's signature photo filter, which Travis has discussed on his podcast previously. After Travis surprised fans with the post, they quickly took to the comments to discuss all the different hidden details. 'The lock screens on their phones on slide 3,' one wrote. '13 slides…we see you.' 'Me looking at Travis' phone background.' 'Ppl bout to zoom tf in on that lockscreen lmao,' another wrote. 'IS HE USING HER SIGNATURE FILTER,' someone questioned. '13 pics too omg.' 'THE LOCK SCREEN my heartttt.' '13 pics in the photo dump.' 'Thirteen photos - nice touch!' Other pictures show the couple out for dinner, clowning around in the snow and skating on an ice rink. They also took photos with different groups of friends, one of which includes NFL reporters Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews and their respective partners. Kelce's older brother Jason, mom Donna and dad Ed also feature in the Instagram dump. 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 100,' Travis captioned his post. Kelce and Swift have enjoyed a more low-key offseason together than last year, with the pair only making a handful of public appearances since the Chiefs' Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in February. The most noteworthy of the lot came when Taylor made a surprise cameo at her man's 'Tight End University' event in Nashville last month, where she took to the stage and performed her famous 'Shake It Off' song. On a subsequent edition of his New Heights podcast, Travis explained that they had been cooking up a plan to 'have some fun' for some time. But his older brother Jason was among those who were shocked when footage emerged of the pop sensation on stage. 'Tay Tay showed up!' Travis said. 'We were in Nashville, she grew up in Nashville - she moved there when she was younger - and we had this planned for a while that we were going to have some fun with the tight ends. He continued: 'I won't say when the idea came up but we were there at "Tight End & Friends" and we knew that there was a professional like Kane Brown, who could just figure it out. 'He's a pro, he's been on stage a million times, he's not shy at all by any means... Tay just went up to him and the band and was like: "Hey if you guys are down, I'll go up there, play a song and see if we can pop the roof off this place." And sure enough...' Travis revealed that before going out to perform, Swift was backstage writing sheets of music for the band. 'I don't know, I'm not a musician but she was making sure that the band and everybody (knew it). And then just went out there without practicing and it was pitch perfect and just killed it,' Travis continued. 'She's so good with everybody and making people feel comfortable. And absolutely rocked the stage yet again, it was awesome, man.' Travis was back on the practice field on Tuesday as the Chiefs began their preparations for the new NFL season. From Tuesday until August 13, the team will be based at Missouri Western State University in St Joseph - around an hour north Arrowhead Stadium. There, Travis and the other 89 players on the roster will stay in dorms on campus for the duration of camp. That means three weeks without seeing their partners and families. For Travis, that means three weeks without seeing Swift.
