EXCLUSIVE Made In Chelsea's Reza Amiri SPLITS from girlfriend Ruby Adler over claims she cheated on him with luxury real estate agent Gavin Rubinstein
The couple, who have been in an on/off relationship for ten years, had committed to each other for the long term during the latest series of the E4 show, which aired last month.
But just days after the season wrapped in April, Ruby flew to Los Angeles where she spent time with multimillionaire luxury real estate agent Gavin Rubinstein, whom she was pictured with in the front row at an LA Lakers game.
To her boyfriend Reza's shock, Ruby had struck up a close friendship with Gavin, famed for his appearances on Australian reality show Luxe Listings Sydney, despite the couple still being in a relationship and planning for their future.
Ruby, 30, and Gavin, 34, were also spotted looking close at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the reality star's trip to Los Angeles, sparking speculation they were dating.
Reza, 38, only discovered the betrayal weeks after Gavin posted an image of him with Ruby on his Instagram profile, which showed them at the LA Lakers game, sat next to A-list actor Jason Segel.
A source told MailOnline: 'Rez was completely devastated. Obviously, there's the embarrassment of something like this happening behind your back, but he also saw a future with Ruby, all he wanted was for them to settle down together.
'They have had a long and complicated relationship, but the hope was that they could put the past behind them and commit for the long term.
'Ruby's actions in Los Angeles went against everything they had discussed as a couple and Rez has been humiliated.
'Even after Ruby's trip to LA with Gavin in April, Reza believed everything was fine between them as they celebrated their May birthdays together alongside their respective families.
'The worst part is the likelihood the whole sequence of events will become a storyline on Made In Chelsea and he'll have to relive the trauma again.'
Posting on Instagram in April, Ruby shared a series of pictures from her LA trip, posing on Rodeo Drive having purchased a new handbag. She captioned the upload: 'Life is good.'
The highs and lows of Reza and Ruby's relationship has played out on Made In Chelsea over the years, with the couple struggling to cut ties whenever they separated.
They have both dated their fellow Made In Chelsea co-stars, with Reza romancing Love Island's Tina Stinnes and Ruby had a brief fling with Miles Nazaire.
MailOnline has contacted Reza and Ruby's representatives for comment.
But during the latest series, which took place in the Maldives, Sam Prince said, 'It's official, Ruby and Rez are officially back' and Ruby replied: 'We are very happy.'
The couple spent quality time together on holiday in Dubai last November, where they were pictured hugging on Reza's Instagram story.
Gavin, the star of Prime Video's Luxe Listings Sydney, has been single since April following his split from model girlfriend Holly Young.
He is the founder of The Rubinstein Group, a successful property company which has seen the celebrity estate agent be awarded with salesperson of the year in Australia's New South Wales from 2013 to 2019.
Reza and Ruby met back in 2014 through mutual friends as they enjoyed the nightlife in London's West End.
They joined Made In Chelsea together in 2019, starring alongside close friends Sam Thompson, Sophie Habboo and Melissa Tattam.

Rita Ora puts on a stylish display in Ralph Lauren white skater skirt in Brooklyn ahead of New York show
She never misses a beat when it comes to her fashion choices. And Rita Ora put on a stylish display as she was seen out and about in Brooklyn on Friday ahead of her headline performance at The Hill in New York. The singer, 34, opted for an all white ensemble as she paired a white Ralph Lauren skater skirt with a white polo top and cropped white jacket. Accessorising the look with a brown leather belt, Rita put on a leggy display before finishing the look with a pair of red and white high top trainers. Adding a pair of black shades the star appeared in great spirits as she headed to the stage ahead of her energetic performance. Earlier in the day Rita showcased her toned midriff in a skimpy white top as she travelled on the subway while exploring the city. The singer, 34, opted an all white ensemble as she paired a white Ralph Lauren skater skirt with a white polo top and cropped white jacket For her outing she stepped out in a white sheer long-sleeved top which she layered over a matching bralette. She paired her top with some casual light blue low cut flared jeans which she paired with black flip flops. Adding a hint of glamour, she toted around her belongings in a large black Hermes bag. To accessorise, the songstress wore a quirky mental ring and a pair of black tinted sunglasses. Alongside her Instagram post, she penned: 'Brooklyn Bridge 9pm.' Rita recently revealed how Beyonce has always been her 'protector' as she discussed being hit by speculation that she was 'Becky with the good hair'. Beyonce's smash hit 2016 album Lemonade featured poignant lyrics about cheating and she sang about the mysterious woman in her track Sorry. Fans widely speculated it referred to alleged infidelity by Beyonce's husband Jay-Z with a woman called 'Becky', and theories began circulating online about her identity. Rita found herself at the centre of the rumours as she was wrongly accused of having an affair with Jay-Z, with the singer forced to hit back and deny the claims. And Rita - who was represented by Jay-Z's Roc Nation label at the time - revealed she was so upset by the claims because Beyonce has always been her 'protector'. Speaking on Davina McCall 's Begin Again podcast, Rita explained: 'Behind closed doors, [Beyonce] is literally my fairy godmother, she was my protector - that's what's insane because there was nothing but love. 'And, you know, again, being signed to Jay-Z, her husband, she being my biggest inspiration, she came to my first show in New York at The Box and I sang Say My Name in front of Beyonce when I was 21.' Rita admitted she was 'genuinely' upset and 'confused' by the storm because Beyonce is a 'big sister' who has always 'looked after' her in the industry. The For You hitmaker revealed she still sees Beyonce often to this day as she doubled down on her denial that she was 'Becky'. 'It wasn't real,' Rita insisted, before jokingly adding: 'I wish I had good hair!' 'None of that was real. That was the first time I experienced what it means to be in a messy situation, I guess,' she added.

Superman is super woke? How politics play into the new man of steel
Superman Woke! Variations on that headline splashed across all manner of non-Daily Planet websites this week in advance of a new Superman movie reboot, specifically the comments of writer-director James Gunn, who casually characterized the character as an immigrant and, as such, telling the 'story of America' in an interview. This rankled rightwingers including the former TV Superman Dean Cain, who acknowledged Superman as an immigrant but blanched at the idea of actively associating that as an American value, noting that 'there have to be limits'. Meanwhile, the former Trump lackey Kellyanne Conway, now a Fox News host, characterized the movie she hasn't seen as an ideological lecture, and added her supposed anger that the movie's star, David Corenswet, elided the old 'truth, justice and the American way' Superman slogan in another interview (referring to 'truth, justice, all that good stuff'). For those attempting to keep track: people involved with a Superman movie shouldn't attempt to evoke America, except when they should. Actually, for those keeping even closer track, the 'American way' bit was a phrase added to the radio version of Superman during the second world war, and further popularized by the 1950s TV show. It lived on primarily in reruns of that show, didn't appear in the comics until 1991, and has never been particularly central to the character in his original medium (or any of the movies, even). This is all to say that the reading of Superman as an immigrant is so commonplace, so arguably a part of the plain old surface text of the character, that it's even harder to buy any ginned-up outrage than usual. At best, it's a byproduct of suppressed guilt over the cruel and unusual immigration policies favored by anyone dumb enough to complain that this a 'woke' version of a 90-year-old superhero. In fact, the phoney outrage and predictions of boycott from people who don't go to the movies anyway could be a gag straight from the movie itself. It's one of plenty of real-world parallels in Gunn's movie. Most of them fall into the blockbuster realm of vagueness that makes it hard to tell if it was inspired by real events or just unsuccessfully sidestepping from evoking one international crisis straight into evoking another. (More on that in a moment.) But the most obviously first-hand quasi-political experiences Gunn draws upon all have to do with social media: this is a Superman whose weaknesses include Kryptonite, Lex Luthor-engineered software that anticipates his every punch, and … reading the comments. During one argument, Lois Lane needles her superpowered boyfriend by telling him she's seen him looking through certain hashtags guaranteed to frustrate and enrage even the virtuous child of Kansas farms who still says 'golly!' on the regular. This makes sense: James Gunn does not have experience in geopolitics, but he sure has experience online. The film-maker was semi-canceled over edgelord-y tweets (unearthed, in perfect discourse fashion, by rightwingers infuriated by his left-leaning politics); fired from the third Guardians of the Galaxy movie; and eventually rehired when Disney realized that maybe cast and fan loyalty was worth more than manufactured outrage. But in his between-Guardians downtime, Gunn made a Suicide Squad sequel for the previous DC regime, essentially auditioning for his current job. In some ways, he owes his stewardship of Superman and DC in general to the vexations of life online. So if it's a little cringe-y to hear about Superman glancing through social media, or for Gunn to go out of his way to show Lex Luthor training an army of monkeys to flood the zone with mean tweets, it's also a funny, oddly whimsical way of acknowledging our contemporary world. (Plus, remember that Clark Kent works in media, even if his newspaper still publishes a print edition.) It's certainly more surefooted than the movie's actual politics, which go further than the likes of Captain America: Brave New World but still fall short of anything more complicated than the actual thrust of Gunn's interview. (Which was that kindness is, in fact, good.) The immigrant stuff, first of all, is in the movie but not especially prominent. A plot turn involving Superman's parents could even be read as accidentally xenophobic; after all, if you're trading on the message that it doesn't matter where an immigrant comes from once assimilated into our culture, doesn't that by definition cast aspersions on other countries (or in this case, planets) and elevate whatever 'our' culture is? That's obviously not Gunn's intent in positioning Superman as an immigrant figure; he wants to elicit the empathy for outsiders that we've all felt at one time or another. The logical stumble is more a sign of a metaphor that isn't fit for front-to-back, one-to-one interpretation; that's not a problem on its own. More interesting is the story's offscreen inciting incident, where Superman intervenes in the affairs of two fictional countries. When the movie begins, Superman has recently stopped Boravia, which is led by a blustery despot who comes across like an eastern European Trump, from invading neighboring Jarhanpur. The latter has struck some viewers as coded Middle Eastern, implying parallels between Israel and Palestine, though in the comic books (and based on the leader's accent, here too) the countries are actually somewhere in Europe. That is to say, it looks more akin to Russia invading Ukraine, though Gunn has said he didn't have any specific real-life turmoil in mind when he concocted the scenario. The issue is really more interventionism: should Superman have acted unilaterally in stopping Boravia (and, indeed, threatening its leader with reprisal if he tries it again)? Lois Lane isn't so sure, bringing up the repressive nature of past Jarhanpur governments (and in turn bringing to mind Israel's attacks on Iran, though that particular conflict was in the news well after this movie was written, shot and probably almost or entirely finished). One of the most heartening things about Superman is that Lois's objections inspire a full conversation between her and Superman, in the guise of an 'interview' to make up for the fact that most of Superman's press is self-directed through Clark Kent. For a little while, the movie seems ready to dig into the genuine strife faced by a mega-powerful being who therefore has the ability to shape the world. Stopping people in another country from dying seems ethical. But what about issuing de facto press releases disguised as a real journalism? Of course, all of these questions are in the realm of hypothetical, so the movie mostly just invents hypothetical solutions that turn on the fact that Superman is, in fact, inherently trustworthy and moral. Lucky for everyone, huh? Then again, getting too far into the issue of whether Superman 'should' help people starts to look a bit too much like the Zack Snyder version that audiences and critics had such mixed-at-best feelings toward. Gunn wants Superman to be a bigger-tent affair than that, and it's an understandable impulse. He's not the first superhero character, but he's arguably the first one to achieve something resembling global ubiquity. That's going to lead to some varying interpretations. Limiting him to specific politics makes no more sense than keeping a world-saving god within Metropolis city limits. Yet in a weird way, the buffoonish outrage over Superman's immigration status has only served to highlight a void in the movie's broader emotional resonance. It's a sweet-natured movie that ends on a genuinely emotional note – it might particularly resonate for those with adoptive parents, another Superman mainstay – but misses the opportunity to make a more explicit parallel in the way Superman has emigrated both to the United States in particular, but to Earth in general. His global citizenship is more of a feelgood given than a powerful duality, and a Superman that truly grappled with our ability to see beyond national boundaries might have felt like a true update of the character for a new century, rather than another tacit plea for kindness. We have Paddington for that. Shouldn't Superman be able to lift something a little heavier?

Lauryn Hill speaks on the delays that caused her to play to a near-empty stadium at 2.30am in New Orleans
Lauryn Hill publicly defends herself for 'nonsense' claims in the press about why she was almost two hours late for her scheduled performance at the Essence Festival Of Culture on July 4. The 50-year-old singer, who got on stage at 2.30am to put on a show to a thinned-out audience in New Orleans' Caesars Superdome, was a late addition to the line-up and she was originally scheduled to close out the night hours earlier than she did. The entire night was delayed due to multiple late starts from earlier performers, which culminated in Hill being held up. Performance delays: Lauryn Hill issued a statement spelling out the reasons behind her hitting the stage at 2.30am for her time at Essence Festival Of Culture on July 4 Videos of the Superdome, which has an official capacity of 83,000, showed the practically empty space as Hill performed into the early hours of the morning. While many fans bashed the singer for the late start, especially regarding her history of late performances, Essence Fest also issued a statement on Sunday where it took responsibility for the delay. The event said: '[Hill] arrived on schedule, stepped on that stage, and delivered the kind of performance only a legend can. The delay? Not hers. We will take that. The moment? One for the books. The legacy? Still unmatched.' Hill said: 'Thank you Essence Fest for clarifying that the delays were not my fault. Family, let me address a few things. 'I am involved in every aspect of what it takes to put on my shows, because it requires THAT much involvement to protect the integrity of my message and the quality of what I do. 'And for this reason: I rehearse and arrange the music diligently with my band. I am involved in every aspect of design, preparation and production of my shows while also being a parent, grandparent, and steward to my immediate family and community. 'While some get to focus on a single discipline or category, my role requires that I have eyes everywhere and contribute to most if not every department and more. 'I do this without complaint because it is truly a labor of love and great passion for me to be able to perform meaningful music for my audience.' The news of Hill's delayed set was met with much ridicule online, and fans cited numerous performances she'd been several hours late for, which she also addressed. Hill said on Instagram: 'There seems to be a misconception out there though that I am somewhere on the Riviera with my feet up, drink in hand, showing up to concerts whenever because I am too important to care. That's nonsense... and anyone who's been a part of these productions knows that IN FACT the opposite is true. 'Those of us who are still out here grinding to present an alternative to the divisive, to the shallow, to the controlled, and to the intentionally limiting narrative of our representation do what it takes to do so. We are here, pushing through the resistance.' Hill continued: 'Ask yourself how and why I'm still standing after years of public effort to defame me? Because someone has to do it! 'I'm often quiet, knowing full well that God fights my battles, but this is not the first time production delays have delayed my performance.' 'This IS however the first time a promoter has acknowledged the slip up on their end, (thank you Essence!) and this will be the last time I'll allow production challenges to look like the fault is mine alone when they aren't.' The singer then seemed to aim at haters: 'Those of you who can no longer extend me grace, I'm OK with that, because it's not your grace that sustains me. It's God's grace that sustains me and the love of fans who appreciate that my message came for them when they needed it most and KNOW that I was probably being punished for being so honest in the midst of big business. 'I will continue to push and play for these and other similar reasons. Those who can't see it yet, catch you when you do.' The singer also addressed the press: 'Media, fact-check and watch what you irresponsibly put out there - there are consequences for misrepresenting the facts. 'Despite the late start, I appreciate those who stayed and rocked with us. Family, always remember: what the enemy means for evil God will turn around for good! Respectfully, MLH.' Hill also shared a number of pictures of herself performing at the Superdome and a few of the fans in attendance as well as those for her set. Nola News shared video from the sparse Superdome with Hill on stage. In the past, the singer's developed a reputation for going on stage much later than she's originally scheduled to, which many fans mentioned on social media. One said: 'Lauryn Hill is a scam artist and I don't know why y'all keep supporting her.' Another retweeted a message about the late ending with: 'Stop. Booking. Her.' Others defended Hill by clarifying what actually happened. So much to say: X was filled with messages from the star's ardent fans and haters
