A SHORE THING! After four long years of having to hide their relationship, the tide is turning for the loved-up stars. RISKY BUSINESS! Baby Driverstar Jamie has been a father figure for Katie and Tom’s daughter Suri, and he’s not about to back out now! Seas the day! Jamie and Katie, who hid her figure in a loose dress, make the most of their newfound freedom as they take a romantic beach stroll in California. Holding hands as they ambled along Malibu Beach last week, Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx looked like the cats who got the cream. And why wouldn’t they? The happy twosome are finally free to sing their love from the treetops after pulling off an almost unimaginable four-year secret romance. As our heart-warming photos show, Katie,…

It was an historic royal event and a precious family milestone as the future king, Prince George, started his first day at school. The newly pregnant Duchess of Cambridge, also mum to Princess Charlotte, two, was determined to be there as her little man walked through the gates of Thomas’s Battersea, despite her acute morning sickness. Alas, it was not to be. Although Kate had spent the previous few days in bed, cancelling two official engagements and doing her best to ward off the worst of the hyperemesis gravidarum that also blighted her first two pregnancies, on the morning of her four-year-old boy’s big day, the teary royal realised she was simply too unwell for the traditional first school run. A Kensington Palace insider tells Woman’s Day, “Kate was very…

The unstoppable Kardashian empire is set to expand once more as Kim Kardashian West and her hubby Kanye prepare for the January arrival of their third baby, said to be a little girl, via a surrogate. As reported in Woman’s Day in July, Kim, 36, and Kanye, 40, paid a Californian woman close to $900,000 to carry their child after doctors warned Kim – who suffered life-threatening condition placenta accreta while carrying both North, four, and Saint, one – against another pregnancy. The baby is a turning point for the couple, whose rocky marriage is said to finally be in a good place. “They’re starting to get back on track following a hellish few months, which caused a lot of tension in their relationship,” a family insider tells. “They’re both…

Janine Bycroft was a busy Auckland GP and mum-of-three when she spotted a gap in the market for reputable online health information relevant to New Zealanders, so she set about filling it. She worked tirelessly, upskilling in website knowhow, finding volunteers and setting up a charitable trust to help fund and guide the venture. As a result, the Health Navigator website healthnavigator.org.nz went live in 2009. It’s aimed at everyday Kiwis and since more than 90% of us are going online with health-related questions, a trusted national website is essential. “The website also has an extensive healthy-living section with topics covering pregnancy and babies through to senior health and everything in between,” explains Janine. When her “fourth baby” outgrew its original platform, Janine secured a number of key contracts to…

QI want to give my husband a sexy treat, but I’m not sure what the best dress-up outfit is. I’m a larger lady and my friends all have different opinions. Any ideas? • Miss Naughty, Kapiti Coast A When it comes to sexy attire, I’m a classicist and I’ve always thought that items from La Perla – my idea of lingerie heaven – is the stuff that sets bedrooms on fire. But after having done some research, I’ve come to the conclusion this isn’t what necessarily sells or is the most popular. So it seems that this whole time I may as well have been dressing up as a nun! What actually flies off the shelves are often the outfits that might make most women whisper “jeepers creepers” under their…

Q Christmas is months away, but I am feeling stressed already! Just thinking about buying presents, planning the menu and having our big, unruly family over is giving me hives. Every year I swear I will relax, but I always end up a frazzled mess. What can I do differently this year? • Santa’s Helper, Auckland A Here are a few things you could do to spread the stress – and the love. 1. Delegate. 2. Make it an away Christmas where the gift is a house at the beach with no presents but lots of fun. 3. Run away this year. 4. Let someone else host Christmas to save yourself tonnes of money and loads of antihistamines. 5. Book Christmas lunch at a cool pub and tell everyone that’s…

Virgo AUG 24 - SEP 23 If you’ve done the research, it’s time to act. With manic Mars spurring you on, things might happen faster than expected. Balance the busyness with plenty of old-fashioned fun or dust off some neglected sporting gear. Working up a sweat should help to burn off any stress. Libra SEP 24 - OCT 23 What’s going on?

As we eagerly await news of an official engagement announcement, Suits star Meghan Markle has confirmed the serious nature of her relationship with Prince Harry by speaking publicly about their royal romance for the very first time. “It’s really simple – we’re two people who are really happy and in love,” confesses the actress, 36. “I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward, present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time – this is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.” We do too! And we’re even more excited to hear that the smitten duo…

Paint was peeling off the walls. Rubbish bins lined the streets. It was the last place you’d expect two A-listers to come together for a secret rendezvous. But for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the surroundings didn’t matter a jot. The couple – who have been steadfastly pushing on with their divorce since their marriage exploded a year ago – met face to face at the modest Los Angeles home of a mutual friend and collapsed into each other’s arms. The emotional reunion was one of a string of private get-togethers the pair have arranged in a last-ditch effort to glue back together their once-happy relationship. Their efforts to reunite have been confirmed by bodyguard Kris Herzog, who has worked for the family. Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, he reveals…

It used to take 10 minutes for Colin Cremin to get ready in the morning. A quick wash, clothes thrown on and he would be out the door to work. But two years ago, all of that changed and now well over an hour of careful preparation is required each day to transform Colin into the beautifully groomed Ciara. “I have to shave all over, put on full make-up and select an outfit,” she tells. “Then there are the accessories – shoes, jewellery, handbag, fragrance ... It’s an art.” While Colin may not have had a clue how much effort many women go to, Ciara, 48, has had to learn quickly. “I counted the number of products I use on my face and it’s up to 17 now. I never…

These days, there’s no need to put up with complexion issues that make your heart sink every time you catch your reflection. In-clinic technology has advanced in leaps and bounds, with procedures now available to transform your skin like no over-the-counter product can. Here we reveal which treatments will solve your complexion dilemma ... GENERAL AGEING CONCERNS Go for ... FRAXEL RE:FINE LASER WHAT IS IT?

Hormones are vital to our wellbeing. Produced in the endocrine glands, they’re the chemical messengers that travel via the bloodstream to every organ in our body. The endocrine system helps everything from metabolism and mood to sex drive and concentration. Here’s how to find your hormonal balance ... Stress less When we’re under stress, we produce adrenaline and cortisol. For any of us with chronic stress, overproduction of cortisol can lead to big problems – adrenal exhaustion, lower immunity and serious illness. Stress and anxiety can be worsened by eating the wrong foods. We might feel like chocolate in tough times, but junk food and sweet treats cause our blood sugar to spike, which is bad news for the adrenal glands as they’re forced to work overtime. Stick to healthy…

The secret to a relaxing night’s rest depends on what you sleep on – and under. PILLOWS Just like looking for the right bed, make an effort to find a pillow that is the right shape, size and material for your needs. A pillow is effectively a bed for your head and without the correct support, you can suffer shoulder, neck and back issues. Sleepyhead’s Felicity Turner says the right pillow should provide comfortable support for your head and neck, and should also be compatible with your sleeping position. “If you sleep on your back, you should have a supportive pillow that lifts your head and chin, which can help with breathing and snoring,” explains Felicity. “We recommend resting your head on a pillow for at least 10 minutes in…

There’s a long list of things I am not very good at, but saving money is right at the top of it. I’m not a huge shopper, but I’ve certainly given it a nudge at times and have even employed such clever skills as getting full-priced things put in a sale bag to hoodwink the Ginger. Unfortunately, he’s not that stupid and because we share a bank account, it all gets horribly exposed anyway, unless I pay half in cash, which, of course, does happen. However, after 10 years of wondering whether we should renovate our house or not, we’ve finally decided that we should, so the penny-pinching is about to begin. By the way, it would be a lot better if space didn’t cost a million dollars a square…

Everything needs to be fixed in my rambling old villa. I’ve mentioned the state of dilapidation on many occasions, but now I’ve stopped unpacking and dehumidifying, I look about at things that are wrong and my head starts to spin. The dilemma is that it’s an awesome project and if I liked projects, I’d be in DIY heaven. But I’m more SOS than DIY, I’m afraid. So I’m standing in the kitchen, looking at the large silver monolith on the other side of the room that’s been disguising itself as a fridge-freezer. When Grant and I bought it, more years ago than I care to admit, it was state of the art. It dispensed ice and cold water. Now the fridge is warm, the freezer is cool and the ice…

Ode to Di I felt you covered the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s tragic death very well (WD, August 28). All of the beautiful photographs were such a special reminder of this great lady. I really do feel for Princes William and Harry, who had to face life without their loving mother. I’m so glad Wills tells wee Prince George and Princess Charlotte about their grandma, so her memory lives on. • Diana, Timaru Go, Charles! I watched all the TV shows about Princess Diana last week that portray Prince Charles and the royal family as mainly uncaring. What they failed to show was that Charles has nurtured and raised two fine young men. He’s let the boys do normal things and continue their humanitarian work, which Diana did with…

They’ve worked together on The Voice USA and the duet “Go Ahead and Br eak My Heart” – now Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have collaborated on a baby! The No Doubt singer is reported to be 15 w eeks pregnant after successfull y undergoing IVF treatment. “Gwen adores being a mum and Blake has had ba bies on the brain for months, especially after getting to know Gwen’s boys,” claims a sour ce close to the couple . “They knew they didn’t have time to waste, so they planned this pregnancy right down to the last detail.” Gwen, 47 – a mum to sons Kingston, 11, Zuma, nine, and Apollo, three, with ex Gavin Rossdale – had previously felt her family was complete. However, seeing how well country crooner…

NBA superstar Steven Adams is having a ball on a romantic break back in New Zealand with his girlfriend Ezel Kokcu. The US-based lovebirds, both 24, have been touring the North Island with a couple of the athlete’s team-mates from the Oklahoma City Thunder, proudly showing off the sights and soaking up Kiwi culture. The group visited the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and spent a few days in Paihia, where camo-clad Steven – who last year signed a $140 million contract with the Thunder – showed he’s just as talented at skimming stones as he is at shooting hoops. They later headed to Opononi, where the star and his Wellingtonian girlfriend, a successful internet entrepreneur, enjoyed a stroll along the wharf before travelling south to the Waipoua Kauri Forest to lay…

Wasn’t little Prince George adorable on his first day of school? The look of vulnerability on the cherub’s face as he bravely walked into school, clinging to Dad’s hand for dear life, was all too familiar. I just wanted to give him a big hug. I can totally understand why his mum Kate (page 10) is devastated she couldn’t be with him. Pregnant with her third child and bedridden with morning sickness, it’s no wonder she shed a few tears as her firstborn – socks pulled up and shoes all shiny – left for school for the first time. I know all too well about how your heart will ache with love for your child. It was lovely to meet Jacinda Ardern’s mother this week (page 16). While her daughter…

A mother’s intuition works in powerful ways. Two weeks ago, Laurell Ardern was at home in Niue when she had a sudden feeling her youngest daughter – Labour leader Jacinda – needed her. She wasn’t due to fly to New Zealand until just before the September 23 election, but when she asked Jacinda whether she could use some extra support, the offer was met with a resounding “yes please”! “So I quickly changed my flights, and I’ve been washing, ironing and cooking ever since!” laughs Laurell as she serves her politician daughter a bowl of delicious homemade pumpkin soup. Jacinda, 37, has barely had time to process her astonishing rise to the top since becoming Labour leader after Andrew Little’s shock resignation on August 1. Her schedule is mind-boggling. The…

Talk about a Scary situation! Mel B is set to check into rehab in a desperate bid to retain custody of her daughters following her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte’s claims that the Spice Girl was addicted to cocaine and alcohol throughout their 10-year marriage, even using drugs in front of her three girls. “Mel’s scrambling to do damage control,” a source close to the singer reveals exclusively to Woman’s Day. “She insists she doesn’t have a problem, but she’s willing to enter rehab as a proactive measure to prove she’s serious about sobriety and being a good mum. Mel’s in mama-bear mode. Even if no-one believes these outrageous claims, she’ll do anything if it means protecting her kids and moving on from Stephen.” In the shocking new court documents that…

They say building a house with your significant other is the best way to test a relationship, but competing in one of the world’s most gruelling multisport events together is definitely up there! Only eight months into their romance, former Olympic swimmer Moss Burmester, 36, and girlfriend Carolyn Arthur, 33, are putting their love on the line as they train for the Kathmandu Coast to Coast next February. They’re taking on the tandem team event, covering 243km of river, road and mountain across the width of the South Island in just over two days. “You have to stay within 50m of each other at all times,” Moss says with a nervous grin. “I don’t think we considered the potential effect on our relationship until after we signed up! But we’ve…

CHOOSE LIGHTNESS Wearing head-to-toe black can be an easy fallback for all of our fashion choices because it is ultimately slimming and always occasion-appropriate. However, when we age, our skin tends to get paler so too much black can create a harsh contrast, which emphasises fine lines and dark shadows under the eye. Try for a coloured ensemble instead to keep things fresh. Jacket, $199.90, from Witchery. Tee, $69.90, from French Connection. Earrings, $27.99, from Lovisa. Pants, $89.99, from Max. Shoes, $260, from Mi Piaci. TINKER WITH TAILORING While a flowing dress can be tempting to throw on to cover up, this will not flatter your frame and makes you look bigger than you are. Opt for more structured styles that celebrate your feminine form. Invest in quality foundation garments…

‘Life isn’t a dress rehearsal, so embrace what makes you happy’ Getting older is something many women don’t think about much – until maybe an aching back or sore knees start to send a subtle message, or a photo from your school ball pops up on Facebook and you realise just how far you’ve travelled away from your youth. As the years go by, you can start to feel that your age is defining who you are and what your future might look like. For some, that can be a scary thing! But instead of letting your age get the better of you, meet it head on with a positive mind and a healthy body. Start when you’re 40. Acknowledge that ageing is a process rather than a disease –…

As a jet-setter, my closest travel companion has become the accommodation website Booking.com  and its app. 1 Flexibility Most people get more warning about their overseas trips, but for me, it’s a matter of grabbing time when I’m not too busy and the Ginger is between jobs. For a recent trip to the south of Spain, I had about four seconds to organise an itinerary and 14 days of accommodation, so I went straight to Booking.com and started work. The trick is to initially book rooms that have free cancellation so if your plans change, you can pull out at the click of the button. This is the beauty of not having to pay until you stay. 2 Reality Once we landed in Spain and I realised the…

What is it about term three? The wet weather, sick children and all that winter sport, which in my experience only makes kids sicker. Cross-country runs in mud and rain, gymnastics, netball, rugby... It’s all on. Then there are the school speeches, internals and exam prep. Sheesh! Being a kid these days is exhausting. Being a parent of these kids is exhausting! This week, on one particularly gnarly wet day, I had a 6am start to get one child to netball training and another child to another sports practice by 7am. Then the dishwasher decided to leak buckets of water all over the floor, the basketball hoop smashed over in the wind, blocking the driveway, and there was a call to the sick bay for a vomiting child. That was…

JODIE COMER AS PRINCESS ELIZABETH VS JENNA COLEMAN AS QUEEN VICTORIA Following in the footsteps of 2013 mini-series The White Queen and based on the bestselling novel by Philippa Gregory, The White Princess explores the life of Elizabeth of York. Its star Jodie Comer, 24, reveals what it’s been like taking on the regal role. What can people expect from this new series? One of the most exciting things about doing this show is it’s told from the perspective of women, which is so special, especially in a time when women were expected to take a backseat. In history, we often see a false representation of women. The men are always the successors, supposedly of their own merit, which I don’t believe to be true. What’s it like getting to…

From the minds that brought you Broadchurch comes another gripping crime drama, this time set in Canada’s Rocky Mountains. We chat with Irish star Genevieve O’Reilly, 40, about her role as Angela Worth, a hardworking mum and police chief’s wife whose life is turned upside down in a crime-ridden town. What was it about Tin Star that caught your eye? “When I read the script, I thought, ‘I have never read anything like this before.’ I didn’t really know what it was and isn’t that the greatest challenge – to jump when you are not really sure?” Are you glad you did? “Yeah. It is tough being away from home – I have kids and it is wonderful to have the work – but there is always a kickback. However,…
