Sam Fender’s secret girlfriend revealed as stunning actress – & they’ve been quietly dating for two YEARS


SAM FENDER began his 25-date People Watching tour in Amsterdam last night – but he won’t be lonely on the road.

We can reveal the singer has fallen for stunning actress Rosa Collier, who he has been secretly dating for the past two years.

Things are so serious, he has whisked her off on tour with him.

A friend told us: “Sam is very much in love with Rosa and they have been secretly dating since 2022.

“She works as an actress and they met when she was studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

“They dated loosely for a few months and then things became way more serious in 2023. They’ve travelled quite a bit together and recently they went on a romantic holiday to the Maldives.

“They seem serious. She knows Sam’s family and band well and is on tour with him now.

“If his fans look closely, they’ll see her cheering from the crowd. Rosa is always front and centre, supporting her man.”

Sam, who won the Rock/Alternative Act gong at the Brit Awards at the start of the month, has been careful to keep Rosa off his social media accounts.

But Rosa has dropped a number of hints she is dating the Newcastle-born star — including sharing a snap of a giant cone of chips from a shop in Amsterdam after touching down with Sam for the trip.

Sam has previously been linked to celebrities including Sigrid and Raye, who he got cosy with at the Brits in early 2022.

The rocker’s tour, which is promoting his No1 album People Watching, will see him play huge shows across Europe and North America, before he comes to the UK for his first gig at Liverpool’s Sefton Park on 24 May, headlining Radio 1’s Big Weekend.


He will also play a massive gig at London Stadium on June 6 before taking to the stage for three sell-out shows at Newcastle’s St James’ Park.

As a big fan of the Magpies, it will be a dream come true for Sam.

RELAXED RIRI’S SAILS PITCH

IT’S no wonder Rihanna has time to put her feet up.

We revealed last week she pulled the plug on her live music return at the 11th hour and cancelled six stadium shows in London this July, because she wasn’t ready.

And now the singer is spending some time chilling out on a yacht in her native Barbados.

Setting sail, Rihanna was wearing a palm tree print dress, headscarf and yellow flip flops as she announced her next Fenty X Puma collaboration.

Fans will be gutted they’ve got to wait longer to hear what she’s been working on, but I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.

If RiRi gets the record out by next year, it will have been ten years since her last album Anti.

GAGA NOT ‘TOO OLD’

LADY GAGA furiously called out ageists who branded her too old to be a pop star at 38, as she collected the Innovator gong at the iHeartRadio awards.

Taking to the stage, the Abracadabra singer, below, said: “I don’t know totally how to think about this. Honouring my entire career at 38 years old is a hard thing to get my head around.

“On the one hand I feel like I have been doing this for ever. On the other, I know I am just getting started.

“So even though the world might consider a woman in her late thirties old for a pop star, which is insane, I promise that I’m just getting warmed up.

“If I have learnt anything, it’s that your most powerful innovation is your authenticity.” She went on to credit music greats ranging from Madonna to Stevie Wonder for inspiring her to make music.

Elsewhere, Taylor Swift cleared up, winning nine awards including Artist of the Year and Tour of the Century for The Eras Tour.

She said: “I have been doing a lot of processing since I’ve been off the road for the past couple of months.

“People often say that the greatest challenges in life end up being something you are so proud of.

“This tour was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life but it was the most gratifying thing I’ve ever done.”

Fans were quick to notice Taylor was wearing a snake necklace during her acceptance speech – an apparent hint that her re-recorded version of her 2017 album Reputation is just round the corner.

JAMIE HITS THE PAIN BARRIER IN 150-MILE COMIC RELIEF RUN

AFTER running around 60 miles in two days, Jamie Laing is starting to feel the burn.

The Radio 1 Drivetime presenter started the third leg of his Comic Relief ultra-marathon in Kettering this morning, ahead of arriving at Loughborough Uni this evening, and he told me it’s becoming pretty painful.

“I started running and my knee really hurts and my leg hurts,” Jamie explained from the road. “My body hurts. I have been getting very emotional too, but I think it’s just my body freaking out.”

Jamie is fighting through the pain to complete his 150-mile run by Friday, when he will be on screen live in Manchester for Comic Relief.

And he wanted to say a big thank you for the support.

Jamie, left, told me: “We ran through a village called Kimbolton and the whole village came out to say hi.

“It’s been amazing and so emotional. By yesterday we had raised over £80,000.

“A huge thank you to everyone who has donated. It is just awesome and amazing. I feel very lucky to be doing this.”

Keep running, Jamie. We are so proud of you.

ADAM SANDLER is back in the swing of things in the first trailer for Happy Gilmore 2.

The comedy actor is returning to his role as the abusive ice hockey player-turned-pro golfer in the movie, 29 years after the first one came out.

It will be released on Netflix on July 25 and in the teaser unveiled yesterday, his character Happy is seen returning to the game.

He says in the clip: “I haven’t swung a club in years. I’m a little intimidated, all these guys hit it big now. I don’t know where to start.”

Ben Stiller and Julie Bowen are back for the film, with Adam’s teenage daughters Sunny and Sadie also landing roles.

JESSIE J has confirmed she is moving back to the UK as she prepares to relaunch her music career.

I told you last month the Price Tag star had secretly teamed up with Adele’s favourite songwriter Ryan Tedder for her first album in seven years.

Now Jessie, right, said she’s coming back home, writing online: “After ten years of living in LA . . . my house of seven years is up for sale and I am officially back.

“I moved back at the end of last year but it feels real now my house will be gone soon. I loved my life in LA and I will miss so much of it, but mostly my friends. I can always visit.”

She added: “It’s the best decision for my family.”

Insiders told me Jessie had been hard at work with Ryan last year and is weeks away from dropping her new single.

My mole added: “Jessie couldn’t be more excited to share with her fans what she has been working on.

“She will be announcing her first song in the spring.”

Manchester rapper Aitch’s new single Bounce is out now[/caption]

AITCH’S new single Bounce is out today and he tells me fans can expect a new album very soon.

The record will be the follow-up to his debut studio album Close To Home, which came out back in 2022.

The Manchester rapper said in an exclusive chat: “There is going to be a big announcement coming.

“It’s going to be at the end of this month. I’m excited for people to hear it.”

On March 7, Aitch dropped Straight Rhymez 2, a reworked rendition of his 2018 breakout track.

It’s taken his fans by storm and has been the No1-trending video on YouTube since then.

What a lad.


DEARALICE have joined the line-up for SM Town Live at London’s Twickenham Stadium on June 28.

K-pop’s biggest stars are playing at the show and now the British boyband will also appear, following their training in Seoul on the BBC docuseries Made In Korea last year – which I heartily recommend watching on iPlayer.


WILL SMITH is heading out on a UK tour after launching his musical comeback.

The Oscar-winning actor and rapper will play shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Wolverhampton during August.

The Cardiff outdoor show, which is being held at Bute Park on August 25, will be alongside disco greats Nile Rodgers and Chic.

The tour, for which tickets go on sale this Friday, is in support of his album Based On A True Story, which is out on March 28.
