OLIDAYA ARE CONFIRMED! COUPLE
MAKE THEIR INSTA DEBUT QUICKLY
AFTER OLIVER COMES OUT

It's official! As of last month, singer and two-time grammy winner Oliver Coren and actress Zendaya made their debut on social media as a couple, dropping the bombshell on their shared 82.9 million followers combined that they shared their 1 year anniversary on June 30th.

This follows just weeks after Oliver revealed via his lawyer and publicist that he was being blackmailed by an anonymous source about his bisexuality, and that a private photo of him with an ex-boyfriend would have been released without his consent if he did not come out.

Two months on from coming out, Oliver stands by his decision to come out in a more formal manner rather than on social media. Speaking in an interview with People Magazine (published yesterday, August 9th 2020), he says "I do not regret coming out in such a formal way. I was shitting myself, and I spent weeks obsessing over what I would caption my explanation for suddenly saying, 'hey, I'm bi!'. I was so anxious about getting it wrong, I wanted to do it in a way where it's out there, and I'm still safe."

For the past few months, Oliver has been living with best friend Scarlett Cabello and Victoria Monét, who flew in from Los Angeles especially to be with Scarlett. With husband Tom Holland and Zendaya out in Berlin currently filming for Spiderman 3, and rumours about Scarlett possibly being pregnant always on the front pages, People asked Oliver why he and Victoria moved in with Scarlett.

"I don't have to explain why me and Vic are staying with our best friend ── we all know how lonely it is being without a significant other, so we decided to make the most of it and spend it together." He replies, and asks the interviewer to promptly avoid any questions that doesn't concern him.

With Oliver happy being out and proud, what does he have to say about the pressure he's received in the last few weeks when he did also reveal he'd been dating Zendaya for a year? "It's a lot, a lot more than I expected, anyway. There's press at the front door every day, and we only just managed to get them to keep their distance. I almost feel like I'm a stranded piece of meat on an island surrounded by sharks."

Let's hope Oliver, Zendaya and Scarlett can find their peace sooner rather than later.

IT WAS NOW EARLY AUGUST, AND TOM HAD BEEN GONE FOR TWO MONTHS. IN THAT TIME, SCARLETT'S STOMACH HAD ALMOST DOUBLED IN SIZE, AND SHE WAS CURRENTLY BEING VISITED BY HER DOCTOR AT HER HOUSE FOR HER FINAL ULTRASOUND BEFORE THE BIRTH. Both Oliver and Victoria were in Scarlett's bedroom with her, the mobile ultrasound scanner set up next to her and her stomach exposed for the rare occasion, having grown incredibly insecure over it.

Scarlett's doctor walks into the bedroom with a bright smile on her face, gloves on her hand holding the cold, blue gel that Scarlett feels she might even miss when she won't be pregnant in just a few short months time. "Right, Scarlett, how are we coping on bedrest?"

Scarlett groans in annoyance, her head thrown back on her pillow. As if staying inside most days pissed her off, a few weeks ago she fell a bit sick and as a precaution was put on bedrest. "It was hell, I've never been more thankful to see the downstairs of my house and my garden!" She jokes, and the doctor laughs with her, but Scarlett was really deadly serious.

"Is Dad not here today? Just your friends?" The doctor casually asks, but it set an awkward tone between Scarlett, Oliver and Victoria, knowing how tense it got between the two any time Scarlett now even mentioned a back up birth plan in case she went into premature labour.

The doctor notices when there was no verbal response and she turned away from the scanner and to Scarlett, an apologetic look painting her face. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude on anything."

"No! It's okay, you're just making conversation. He's just um, been away on work. Not coming home until a few days before the due date." Scarlett explains nervously, and watches the doctor raise her eyebrows in surprise, quickly covering it up by putting and spreading the ultrasound gel on Scarlett's stomach.

"I know I shouldn't pry, but is your husband aware that nearly every single pair of twins are born prematurely?"

Victoria almost scoffs when the doctor asks about Tom, growing as impatient as Scarlett with him, but making sure she is way more vocal about it. Scarlett glares at her best friend before turning back to the doctor. "He's really a busy person, but I reckon I can stick it out to full term." She smiles innocently, swatting away her nerves.

The doctor simply stays silent for a few moments, a concerned look on her face as she checks Scarlett's temperature and blood pressure as she usually does. "Well, maybe not. I'm worried about the growth of the twins, Scarlett."

Scarlett bites her lip, her eyes scrunched practically in shame. Oliver notices and speaks up for her, knowing she'd go to the worst conclusion possible. "Are they too small?"

The doctor shakes her head. "No, not at all, in fact, completely the opposite. Both babies are incredibly healthy and gaining great amounts of weight like they should, but with twins, there's half the space in the uterus available for full growth of the babies, and can risk Scarlett's life by growing so big that they crush her organs."

Scarlett exhales the breath she had been holding in, but knew what this meant. "So I have to have them earlier?"

"Yes, I think it'd be sensible if we schedule a cesarean section for you sometime in the next two weeks, so they'd still be at a healthy weight to not be incubated, but not too big that they're a risk to you."

Scarlett nods, understanding the information she processed, but drifted away from her propped up position in her bed in her house when she starts thinking about what had to happen. Something kickstarted in her, like it was her maternal instinct, and she suddenly accepted for the time that she was going to have her babies very soon, a determined expression on her face, creasing her brows.

She just needed to tell Tom.
