Lottie Tomlinson couldn't sleep and refused to turn off the lights at night because she was convinced "something bad" would happen to her baby son
The 25-year-old social media star - who is the sister of One Direction's Louis Tomlinson- and her fiancé Lewis Burton welcomed their son Lucky in August 2022 and they are expecting baby number two next year - now Lottie has opened up about her struggle as a first-time mum as she was plagued by fears for her child following the death of her mum Johannah in 2016 and sister Félicité three years later
27 July 2024
She told The Times newspaper: "I became fixated [on the idea that] something bad would happen to him, so I couldn't sleep. You go to the worst-case scenario, because that's happened to you twice, to two of the closest people in your life.
"I couldn't turn the lights off at night; I needed to see him all the time. Luckily, it calmed down quite quickly."
Lottie and her famous brother were left devastated when their mum died after a battle with leukaemia and they were dealt a double blow when their sister Félicité passed away in 2019 aged 18 after suffering a drug overdose.
The influencer admits she was blinded by grief after the second loss and she still struggles to remember much from that period of her life. She explained: "We weren't mentally prepared. I can't even remember if the two funerals were in the same church.
"I think grief has affected my memory a lot and that's quite common. Grief is such a powerful emotion; it takes up a lot of your brain".
Lottie shared news of her second pregnancy earlier this month with a post on Instagram that read: "Our little family is growing we feel so excited and blessed that another beautiful baby is joining us in Jan 2025."
She later added a picture on Instagram stories and wrote: "So excited that I can now share my little bump. We are so excited that baby number 2 is coming I can't even explain."
Lottie and Lewis got engaged in November 2023 after three years of dating.
Keanu Reeves' knee "cracked like a potato chip" in a freak accident when he tripped on a piece of carpet on a movie set.
The 'John Wick' star, 59, suffered a fractured kneecap after falling over while filming his new comedy movie 'Good Fortune' and he was later pictured walking on crutches with an ice pack strapped to his leg - and Keanu has now revealed the injury happened when he took a tumble following an ice bath.
During an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert', Keanu explained: "I was filming a scene with Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen and we were in a cold plunge.
"I was loving it, I was standing there, and we finish the scene, and you know when you're cold and you're [shuffling]? I had a bathing suit and a towel, and you put it over your head and you do the cold shuffle?
"I'm doing the cold shuffle in this room that had protective carpets down and then, just here, there was like a little pocket, and my foot got caught in the pocket in the shuffle, and then I went [down], but [my knee] didn't follow.
"And then, in slow motion, I went falling. My arms came out, but then my knee failed because it's got some stuff, and I spiked it. And my patella - kneecap - cracked like a potato chip."
Initially, Keanu was convinced he was fine following the fall but he later realised something was wrong because his knee was "blowing up". He quipped: "Comedy's hard, man."
Keanu continued working on the film, but his co-star and director Aziz Ansari later revealed they had to push back a scene involving salsa dancing until the actor's injury had healed.
During the interview with Stephen Colbert, the host asked Keanu if the knee injury was the worst thing that's ever happened to him and the actor replied: "No, the two-level fusion of my spine was".
The 'Speed' star previously underwent spinal surgery shortly before filming his 1999 movie 'The Matrix' after doctors discovered two discs in his back needed urgent attention because he was starting to lose his balance.
During a previous interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the actor explained: "I had one old compressed disk and one shattered disk. One of them was really old, 10 years, and eventually one started sticking to my spinal cord. I was falling over in the shower in the morning, because you lose your sense of balance."
