FAMOUS CELEB FAMILY FALLOUTS

-

THE SPOUSE IN THE MIDDLE Mel B fell out with her parents and sister Danielle for nine years, reportedly due to tensions between her family and thenhusban­d Stephen Belafonte. At the time, Mel’s mum Andrea said, “Every day, I pine for Mel, [Mel’s kids] Phoenix and Angel.” The family reunited in 2017, when Mel split from Stephen and while Mel’s father was battling cancer. Mel said, “I was in an isolated, stressful relationsh­ip that prevented me from reaching out to my family.” THE SIBLING SPAT Olly Murs found fame on The X Factor in 2009 – but it caused a fallout with his twin brother Ben (left) when Olly, 34, missed his wedding to compete in the show’s semi-final. Olly has called the rift “difficult and sad”, while Ben – who’s changed his surname to his wife’s family name – has said, “Fame and greed changed everything.” The boys’ mum, Vickylynn, 57, has also been disowned by Ben. Earlier this month, Olly said, “Christmas is never the same.” THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER DIVIDE Jennifer Aniston has always been open about her relationsh­ip with her mum Nancy, previously revealing, “She was very critical of me. She’d hold grudges that I found petty.” They reportedly didn’t speak for a decade. Earlier this month, Jen, 49, revealed she’d felt belittled by her mum, saying, “I didn’t come out as the model child she’d hoped for.” The pair reconciled in 2005, after Jen’s split from Brad Pitt, before Nancy died in 2016 aged 79.
