The smitten pair were spotted checking out a two-bedroom art deco apartment in Sydney’s ritzy Rose Bay on December 16th, and exited the building afterwards with  excited smiles on their faces.

ELSA PATAKY ‘Weights and yoga works for my body’ She’s Thor’s other half, but actress Elsa Pataky gives the muscle man a run for his money in the fitness department. The svelte stunner takes a holistic approach to long-term health, with the aim to stay strong, not skinny. ‘I don’t believe in, like quick diets that you do [just] before summer. Those miracles don’t exist,’ says the mum-of-three. ‘You have to find what your body craves and what is good for it. For a while everyone was like, “No carbs”, which I think is a big mistake.’ So what works for the Madrid-born star? ‘Mediterranean food every day, not just [for] periods of time,’ says Elsa, who avoids processed and fatty foods, sugars and alcohol. On advice from hubby Chris…

KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN ‘I’m a beast in the gym’ She famously dropped 20kg in 2015, and since then Khloé Kardashian has never lost sight of her fitness goals – even after becoming a mum. Once given the all-clear to exercise after welcoming True in April 2018, Khloé worked overtime – not only to lose the extra 18kg she gained but to ‘be fitter than before the pregnancy’, says her trainer Joel BouraÏma. A self-described ‘beast in the gym’, the 35-year-old exercises six days a week, focusing on 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of circuit training. The Revenge Body host works burpees, boxing, skipping and the stair climber into her cardio workouts, and targets her booty. ‘I do fire hydrants for 30 seconds, then I stick my leg straight out…

WHEN YOU HAVE… 1 MINUTE TRY SEE-HEAR-FEEL This is a quick trick to connect you to the present moment. Take a deep breath and just notice: Three things you see; Three things you hear; Three things you feel. Feelings can be physical, emotional, or energetic. Take a deep breath and re-engage, more fully present. TIP Try to do this without judgement of yourself or your surroundings. Don’t rush through this. WHEN YOU HAVE… 5 MINUTES TRY DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING Many of us tend to take shallow breaths into our chests. This constricts our breathing and can trigger the fight-or-flight response that keeps our bodies in stress mode. When we do diaphragmatic (deep, low) breathing, we are instead focusing on bringing the entire breath deeper into our bodies. Start by lying down,…

Crazy-cheap nannies, daring water sports and kids’ clubs – carting the little ones to Fiji is a no-brainer when you stack up the pros. But spare a thought for the holiday makers forced to hit the same resorts as early rising rugrats because booking a private bungalow would mean jaffle dinners for a year. Surprisingly, one of the country’s premium hotel chains has empathised, recently unveiling a resort within a resort catering purely to adults. Best of all, it’s nowhere near the cost of a la-di-da overwater suite and just a 50-minute drive from Nadi airport – so no waiting around for boat transfers. CHECK IN, CHILL OUT The Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort & Spa’s sparkly Reef Wing, built on the chain’s 100 hectares of private island on Fiji’s Coral Coast,…

She’s been exclusive with her husband of six years, Eric, since 2010. But before then, Jessica’s love life made major headlines. Whether she was dating football great Tony Romo on the heels of his break-up with Carrie Underwood or getting a shout-out from fling John Mayer in Playboy for being, as he put it, ‘sexual napalm’, she seemed to be involved with nearly every bachelor on the A-list. And there’s no doubt many of her men will make appearances in Open Book. ‘Jessica does kiss and tell,’ an insider claims. ‘Famous exes like Adam Levine, Johnny Knoxville and Jeremy Renner are all in there.’ She doesn’t pull any punches, either. ‘She’s hinted to friends about infidelity,’ tells the insider, adding that readers aren’t the only ones waiting for the book’s…

Justin Timberlake is working overtime to mend his marriage to Jessica Biel, which has been in peril ever since photos surfaced last month of Justin holding hands with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright. Though the 38-year-old singer issued an Instagram apology (reportedly at his wife’s insistence), a source says, ‘He’s in the doghouse. Word is Jessica came close to leaving him.’ And he may not be out of the woods yet. Justin showed up to a recent event solo, which another source says is telling: ‘They always attend together. It was surprising.’ For his part, Justin is ‘acting very contrite and being super hands-on with Silas’ – the couple’s four-year-old son (right, with Mum and Dad in happier times). But that may not be enough for the couple. Says the…
