In his book Spare, the Duke of Sussex confirmed their strained relationship, detailing one particular fight he had with his older brother, over Meghan.\n<\/p>\n “He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out,” Harry wrote of the incident.\n<\/p>\n Where they stand now: Harry has said he’d like to put their differences behind them<\/a>, but according to The Sunday Times<\/a>, William is now indifferent to the situation. “What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn\u2019t mention it at all,” a friend of William’s told the outlet. “It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head; it was a very close relationship, and he was very upset.”\n<\/p>\n “But he\u2019s not letting it get to him at all anymore. It is a change. It\u2019s sad, but it\u2019s a much healthier space for him to be at.”\u00a0\n<\/p>\n Julia and Eric Roberts <\/p>\n Julia Roberts and Eric Roberts.<\/p>\n Arnold Jerocki\/WireImage ; Phillip Faraone\/Getty<\/p>\n Inciting Incident: Eric’s drug use.\n<\/p>\n In a 2018 interview with\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/a>, Eric revealed his battle with drug addiction caused a rift within his family, leading to estrangement from Julia for many years.\n<\/p>\n “I wouldn’t characterize it as a falling-out. I was crazy about my sisters. Loved them, adored them,” he said. “They were precious to me, and we had times of great closeness. We all felt very protective of each other, but the hardest person to protect yourself from is yourself,” he stated.\n<\/p>\n However, his substance abuse issues made him hard to be around, creating distance between him and his siblings. A 1993 custody battle over Emma Roberts would also pull them further apart, as Julia sided with Emma’s mother, Kelly Cunningham.\n<\/p>\n “I was exhausting to be around: complainy, blamey, unable to enjoy enjoyment,” the actor revealed. “Everyone in my world needed a break sometimes, and that must have included Julia.”\n<\/p>\n Where they stand now: Though the two went years without talking, the birth of Julia’s twins in 2004 brought them back together. “I was ushered into their room and was immediately awash in brotherly and uncle-y love,” he told\u00a0Vanity Fair.\n<\/p>\n “I imagine I will remain as Julia\u2019s brother and Emma Roberts\u2019 dad for the rest of my life,\u201d he wrote in his book<\/a> Runaway Train: or, The Story of My Life So Far. \u201cI\u2019d like to make good on that, to move aside proudly and with grace.

On a more serious note, the older Gallagher revealed the reason Oasis broke up back in 2009 was because of Liam’s designer clothing label, which he reportedly wanted to advertise on tour.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t think it was right for him to be flogging his gear to our fans,\u201d Noel told\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>\u00a0in July 2011. \u201cThere was a massive fight about that.\u201d The two fought backstage at the Rock en Seine festival and Noel quit the band.\n<\/p>\n Where they stand now: After years apart, and some social media spats, the brothers finally reconciled and announced a tour in 2024.
