Annie Lennox's daughter Lola cosies up to model husband Braeden Wright amid their lavish honeymoon in Bali - after Molly-Mae's Hague's sister was mocked for leaving the island after it didn't meet her expectations
Annie Lennox 's musician daughter Lola put on a loved up display with new husband Braeden Wright amid their lavish honeymoon in Bali on Saturday. The singer, 34, who is the eldest daughter of the Eurythmics legend, 70, appeared to be loving her time on the Thai island, just a week after Molly-Mae's Hague's sister Zoe was mocked for leaving after 48-hours due to it not meeting her expectations. Taking to her Instagram Lola shared a slew of snaps as she cosied up to hunky male model Braeden, 37, while they enjoyed steamy jungle swims, traditional blessings, before soaking together in an infinity pool. The lovebirds also enjoyed a spot of horse riding on the beach and were treated to a traditional performance from elaborately dressed Balinese dancers. Lola captioned the sun-soaked snaps:' Bali! Happy honeymooning with @braedenwright', while Oscar nominee and family friend Richard E. Grant gushed with string of love heart emojis. Last month Lola and Braeden wed in a stunning cliffside ceremony on the Spanish island of Ibiza, saying she'd 'forever float on a happy cloud' whenever she remembers the big day. The bride, whose father is Annie's ex-husband, Israeli film producer Uri Fruchtmann, looked stunning in a sheer, lace-sleeved gown with a plunging neckline and flowing veil, while Braeden opted for a classic black tuxedo. Guests threw pink rose petals as the newlyweds walked down the aisle, grinning and clutching hands, while another snap showed them cutting a towering three-tiered wedding cake adorned with red roses, berries and orange slices. Lola's artist and model sister, Tali Lennox, 32, was among the guests who gathered for the intimate ceremony, with one black-and-white photo showing the sisters celebrating together as friends clapped and cheered. Sharing photos of the ceremony on Instagram she confirmed: 'We got married on the magical island of Ibiza! 'We will forever float on a happy cloud whenever we recall this glorious celebration of love, family and friendship.' Last week Zoe, 28, received backlash after she took to social media to reveal she had chosen to leave Bali early and flying to Dubai due to something not being 'quiet right '. The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead. They were seen partaking in a traditional Balinese blessing inside a misty rock temple - barefoot and wrapped in ceremonial cloths as locals conduct the spiritual ritual. Lola captioned the sun-soaked snaps: 'Bali! Happy honeymooning with @braedenwright', while Oscar nominee and family friend Richard E. Grant commented with string of heart emojis Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. In a new YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.' Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it. 'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though. 'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.' Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it. 'I find this really surprising seeing as you travelled this part of the world. Everywhere there is like this - the 5* resorts are social media worthy but ultimately it's a developing area of the world and lots of the people there live in poverty.'; 'That is such a shame you didn't have a good experience:( Bali is a truly magical place with incredible people! But it is a poor country and I think people forget that and expect it to be like Dubai when that isn't the reality. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.';

Eurythmics star Annie Lennox's daughter is married! Lola Lennox exchanges vows with fiancé Braeden Wright during romantic outdoor ceremony in Ibiza
Eurythmics star Annie Lennox 's daughter Lola Lennox has tied the knot in a stunning cliffside ceremony on the Spanish island of Ibiza - and the newlywed singer says she'll 'forever float on a happy cloud' whenever she remembers the big day. Lola, 34, who has followed in her mother's musical footsteps, has married Canadian model and singer Braeden Wright, 37, in a romantic outdoor service surrounded by loved ones. Sharing photos of the ceremony on Instagram on Tuesday, she confirmed: 'We got married on the magical island of Ibiza! 'We will forever float on a happy cloud whenever we recall this glorious celebration of love, family and friendship.' The bride, whose father is Annie's ex-husband, Israeli film producer Uri Fruchtmann, looked stunning in a sheer, lace-sleeved gown with a plunging neckline and flowing veil, while Braeden opted for a classic black tuxedo. Guests threw pink rose petals as the newlyweds walked down the aisle, grinning and clutching hands, while another snap showed them cutting a towering three-tiered wedding cake adorned with red roses, berries and orange slices. Lola's artist and model sister, Tali Lennox, 32, was among the guests who gathered for the intimate ceremony, with one black-and-white photo showing the sisters celebrating together as friends clapped and cheered. Lola, who has described music as being 'in her bones', has spent the last few years carving out her own career in the spotlight. The London-born singer-songwriter released her debut EP Dreamer in 2023 and is known for her soulful voice and cinematic pop sound. She was previously chosen to sing for the soundtrack of the BBC and Discovery Channel's Emmy-winning docu-series Serengeti, and co-wrote several tracks with Braeden, a fellow musician and composer. Lola and her mother Annie - the legendary Eurythmics frontwoman and multiple Grammy and Brit Award-winner - have previously performed together, including a moving remote duet of There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart) during the global One World: Together at Home concert in 2020. Lola has always been candid about the advantages and expectations that come with being the daughter of a musical icon. Speaking to The Telegraph in 2023, she said: 'There's definitely a layer of assumption when people hear who my mum is. I understand the word 'nepotism' is flying around all the time now, and of course that's something I've been very conscious of.' She added: 'It's a strange place to inhabit, because yes, I'm proud of my mum and I've learned so much from her. 'But I also want to be taken seriously for my own work. My mum didn't push me into music – if anything, she warned me how hard it could be.'

Miriam O'Callaghan: For-profit nursing homes have one thing at the core of their ethos, and your care isn't it
Today at 21:30 According to Paul McCartney when you become famous, there's no ceremony, nobody shakes your hand, says 'you're famous now, son, welcome'. It's the same when you become old. No ceremony, no handshake, no welcome, just one day you're checked into hospital, and even if it's for an arm fracture sustained while taking down a tree, Annie Lennox or Talking Heads blasting on Spotify, you're suddenly geriatric.
