Speaking to relationship therapist Paul Brunson on his podcast, We Need To Talk, she recalls how she had no idea who he was when they first met.

She said she was working at clubs when he approached her and asked if she’d like to get dinner with him.

From that point on, the pair were an item as she gushed that he was ‘compassionate, sweet and kind’.

The pair welcomed their son, Legendary Love, into the world in 2022.

Nick, who has fathered 12 children with six different women, including musical legend Mariah Carey, and despite him and Bre being in a relationship, he still dates other people.

Paul asked if Bre was aware when Nick, 44, had other partners and she revealed they had open communication about it.

“Yeah, for the most part,” she replied. “I’m not checking your following and seeing where you’re going and asking who this girl is and all of that stuff.

“I’m kind of like, ‘Oh, I see this. Is this a situation like, what are we doing here?”

“I’m not threatened because I know what my relationship is,” she added.

And while she admits it’s a very different relationship to what most people are used to seeing, it’s the healthiest one she has had.

“I’ve never fought with this man,” she explained.

“It’s just so healthy and normal. And people think that it’s not because of the surrounding factors,” she clarified that she was talking about non-monogoamy.

Previously, the reality TV star opened up about the hate she recieved when she announced her pregnancy with Nick.

The brunette beauty admitted: “It was a lot. The hate online, how nasty people can be, wishing death on my kid.

Who is Nick Cannon’s baby mama Bre Tiesi?

Breana Falon Tiesi, ‘Bre,’ was born in Calabasas, California on May 4, 1991. She is a model, actress and social media star.

She is well known for being the ex-wife of Johnny Manziel, a former NFL quarterback.

The influencer finalised her divorce from the NFL star in November 2021, saying that although there was no “bad blood”,  she is “officially done” with her marriage.

Bre has been working as a model for brands and companies like Effen Vodka and Boutine Los Angeles.

She has more than 560,000 followers on Instagram.

She has also made appearances on the series, MMAthletics in 2011, and 8th Annual Babes in Toyland: Live from Avalon Hollywood in 2015.

She was featured in the critically acclaimed mystery crime drama, Lie to Me, in 2010 for one of their episodes, and in the 2015 romantic drama movie Knight of Cups.

Brie made her debut on the sixth season of Netflix series Selling Sunset, which premiered May 19, 2023.

She joined the real estate team at the Oppenheim Group, which consists of Chrishell StauseMary FitzgeraldHeather El Moussa, and more.

Prior to the premiere of season 6, Brie told PEOPLE: “There’s some drama that is, let’s say, dramatised. I’m not really sure the word to use with this one, but there’s some of my personal life in a situation that happens with Nick and all of these things that are not fully accurate.

“For me, it’s just one of those things where people have to take it with a grain of salt and understand that there’s a difference. There still is a difference between my real life and the show.”

“It was crazy. It was a lot.” 

Bre insists she knew he was a playboy before deciding she would give the relationship a go.

She added: “Nick’s always been a playboy, everybody knows that. He’s always been that way.”

While Bre says she isn’t jealous of his other relationships, she does struggle with him splitting his time, especially around holidays.

I’m barely dealing with myself and my kid I’m literally like please God, I just want to be alone on a beach with a margarita

“I think I’ve gotten jealous about like maybe holidays, holidays are hard right,” she said.

“I’d be like, ‘Okay, well if you’re going to do this, can you take Legy?’ It’s not for me, I’m not jealous that they go on a trip.”

“I’m looking out for him, per se, and I just really care and I want him to have a good relationship with his siblings.” Bre added.

She also revealed she was more than welcome to have other relationships of her own like Nick but couldn’t stand the thought of having someone else right now.

“I’m barely dealing with myself and my kid I’m literally like please God, I just want to be alone on a beach with a margarita and that’s all I want, I couldn’t even fathom dealing with another human right now,” she added.

Meet Ben Welford – the Shower Man in Sun Bingo’s latest TV ad

SUN BINGO’s new TV advert has now launched. We caught up with the cast to get an insight into their lives.

We’ve already met Sunbather Woman. Next to take the spotlight is Shower Man…

JOIN SUN BINGO NOW FOR A £50 BINGO BONUS AND 50 FREE SPINS*

Viewers have now seen the first four of our new characters, one of which is Shower Man.

Actor Ben Welford is our Shower Man. He sat down with Sun Bingo to talk about the man behind the shower curtain: his go-to shower songs, memories of unusual bingo prizes and an unfortunate incident with a pick-up truck…

Meet Ben Welford!

FIVE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR MONEY GO FURTHER WHEN PLAYING ONLINE BINGO

Ben Welford – Shower Man

What’s your go-to shower song?

I would say Crocodile Rock by Elton John. But, in a close second, Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nutini.

It’s a great song, a great album. It’s got a lot of trumpet in it and it’s a great wake up in the morning.

Pencil Full of Lead isn’t an 80s song but anything that’s got that 70s / 80s vibe, like 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton. That’s a shower song, there’s literally a lyric about it.

MEET OUR 10/10 CHAT HOST SAVANNAH

I do have an album that I generally play in the shower. It includes Jump (For My Love) by The Pointer Sisters, Gold by Spandau Ballet, Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, You’ll Be Back from Hamilton the Musical

The list goes on! I take my job as Shower Man very seriously.

Would you pick showers or baths if you could only have one?

Showers are quick, you get the job done. However, it does depend on if the shower head has a change of settings – is it softer, harder, massage mode?

CHECK OUT THE GAMES THAT YOU CAN PLAY ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING

You know if you’ve got a real sore spot of a muscle in your shoulder, you can click on massage mode and it’ll blast the water out so you can focus it on that point.

It’s like a sustained pressure. It’s good because you obviously can’t take electrical massage equipment in the shower.

A bath is nice, but it’s a treat. I’ll have a bath occasionally, I’m not a savage.

I PLAYED WITH £10 ON SUN BINGO – HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

I love a bath bomb, but the minor issue with them is when you forget you’ve had a bath bomb, you let the water out, you walk away, you come back and your bath is stained the colour of the bath bomb.

If the bath bomb is glittery, the glitter goes EVERYWHERE.

Do you enjoy bingo and slot games? Do you have experience playing them?

I’m from the North East, and I have very vivid memories of going to the bingo hall / community centre with my nana.

She was babysitting us but still wanted to go to bingo. I was put on a seat and given a fake pad and dabber (obviously wasn’t really playing but I wanted to feel like I was taking part).

HOW TO PLAY PENNY FOR A BINGO

I have memories of my nana getting a line or full house and the winnings would be a tray of eggs.

Seriously, actual eggs! You know like “how do you like your eggs in the morning?”, guess I like mine from bingo!

There was a lot of people there, enjoying it. It was an activity for the community to do. Some were treating it like a serious sport!

What brings you luck in life?

I love the number six. I was born on the sixth. I normally play defence in football as number six. I love the number six, it’s a great number.

CHECK OUT OUR B.G.T SLINGO GAME

I’ll fight anyone on that.

I do like to think that I make my own luck though… I find it really interesting when footballers have rituals that they’ve got to do.

There’s a difference between luck and superstition though… I broke a mirror once, I think I was 14.

The minute I did it, I did the maths and reckoned by 21 I should be fine.

You know what, from 21 onwards, that’s when I’ve done most of my acting. I got into drama school later on…

RUN AWAY WITH THE CIRCUS WITH BIG TOP TOMBOLA

So, I have broken a mirror, but I’m still here! I just don’t think people like breaking mirrors, they’re an expensive item.

I do salute magpies but that’s because I’m a Newcastle fan.  

What’s something about yourself that not many people know?

I was, accidentally, run over by my dad once. He didn’t mean it!

We have horses at home, so he had a pick-up truck, it’s the easiest way to transport the hay or water if you need to.

BEST BINGO TV SCENES TO WATCH

We’d gone to feed and water the horses. I was on the back of the pick-up truck.

He let the dog out of the car to have a run, and started driving away.

My dad stops before we get onto proper roads, opens the door and shouts “Come on”.

He was talking to the dog. I thought he was talking to me. I got off the back of the truck and my dad starts to drive away, and I panic… I ran to catch up… I went under the wheel… It wasn’t really bad.

HAVE YOU DISCOVERED THE RAINBOW RICHES BINGO ROOM?

I was walking the next day… but I was taken to hospital. There were X-rays.

I remember feeling like my legs were my arms and my arms were my legs.

Getting run over by your dad is weird, but it’s a great story to tell!

Vodafone broadband went down leaving hundreds of customers without internet access

HUNDREDS of Vodafone broadband customers woke up this morning to find themselves without internet access.

Vodafone stated that its broadband services were directly affected by a CityFibre outage, as Vodafone relies on its infrastructure.

At its peak, more than 700 complaints were logged on the outage tracking website, Downdetector.

Issues first started at around 6.30am but were restored by 9.30am.

The vast majority of complaints (83%) related to issues with Vodafone’s landline internet services.

The technical issues were not confined to a single area, with reports of disruptions coming from major cities including London, Birmingham, and Glasgow, among others.

Customers took to X (formerly Twitter) to air their frustrations.

One said: “Broadband down since early morning in Peterbrough area, any chance of some communication on the issue please?”

Another said: “What’s going on with broadband?

“I have no Internet and it won’t allow me to check my service online!”

A third customer said: “Do something to reinstate your reputation quickly.”

Vodafone told us that the issue is with CityFibre is affecting some Vodafone customers.

A spokesperson added: “We’re aware of an issue with CityFibre affecting some of our customers.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Our teams are engaged with CityFibre and working to resolve the impact to Vodafone customers.”

By 9.30am CityFibre issued a follow-up statement to confirm that the outage had been resolved.

A spokesperson said: “A configuration issue was causing intermittent problems on our network this morning.

“The issue was quickly identified and resolved, with everyone back up and running by 9.30am.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

How can I check if my service is down?

THERE are a few different ways to find out if your telecom provider is experiencing an outage.

Most mobile and broadband providers offer a service checker on their website where you can find out if it’s your area that is facing problems or just an issue with your device.

You can also subscribe to receive alerts, which tell you if there are any problems and how and when they’ll be fixed.

You can also check on any future work they have planned and what it might mean for you.

Plus, you can check websites such as Down Detector, which will tell you whether other people are experiencing problems with a particular company online.

Can I get compensation?

If you’re experiencing problems with your internet, phone, or mobile services, you could be entitled to compensation.

Broadband providers signed up to Ofcom‘s automatic compensation scheme generally offer £8 per day for broadband and home phone services that remain unresolved after the first two full days of disruption.

Additionally, they provide £25 for missed appointments or those cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, along with £5 for each calendar day of delay in starting a new service.

The compensation process is typically automatic.

Vodafone has a section on its website on how to complain to the network provider if you’re unhappy with your service.

It gives you steps to follow before offering you the alternative of ringing the complaints team on 0333 3040 441.

There’s also a live chat service or a form you can fill in.

If your problem is still unresolved after eight weeks, you can complain to an independent Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme.

Vodafone is signed up to the CISAS ADR scheme.

Why Putin faces ‘moment of truth’ over Ukraine’s ceasefire proposal

This is the ‘moment of truth’ for Russia – but also for US president Donald Trump – amid a proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin is weighing his response to the deal, which would pause all attacks at sea and in the air, something which has been welcomed by most European leaders.

The decision, experts say, could mark a critical turning point in the war and will test both the Kremlin’s resolve and Trump’s stance on the conflict.

Malcolm Chalmers, deputy director-general of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), told Metro that Russia would want to understand first what would happen if it does reject the ceasefire outright.

He described this as the ‘moment of truth’ for Russia and Trump, adding: Would the US then double down on its support for Ukraine and increased sanctions? We just don’t know.’

If accepted unconditionally, an extended ceasefire would amount to a strategic defeat for Putin, Chalmers warned.

It would solidify Ukraine’s independence, accelerate Western aid, and also reinforce the ties with Europe.

These are all outcomes that would contradict Putin’s imperialistic goals in the start of the full-scale invasion.

Chalmers explained: ‘As soon as the guns stop, Ukraine’s airports will reopen, foreign assistance will flow in at greater speed, and there will be a strong sense of success across Ukraine.

‘This is not what Russia has fought three years of bloody war to achieve. It will not be easy for Putin to explain to his followers why he has wasted so much blood and treasure.’

This comes as the Kremlin finally responded for the first time to news that Ukraine has backed a US-proposed ceasefire.

It warned that Russia does not want to get ahead of itself and that it first needs to receive information from the US.

Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said he did not rule out the possibility of a phone call between presidents Putin and Trump, which he said could be organised very quickly if needed.

This cautious response aligns with Chalmers’ assessment that Russia will seek clarification and conditions before deciding.

He said: ‘To avoid making an outright rejection, Putin may press instead for clarification and conditions – especially ones that Ukraine will find it hard to accept.

‘Russia could insist on there being no Nato or European forces on Ukrainian soil while the ceasefire lasts, and on Ukrainian demilitarisation.

‘And the US may accept some of these conditions. We should know a lot more in the coming days.’
