Slip, slop, slap! Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and her family made a right-royal splash after touching down in her homeland of Australia for a sun-soaked Christmas. Intent on swapping the ice-cold Scandinavian winter for some sand and surf, Tasmanian-born Mary and her husband Crown Prince Frederik, heir to the Danish throne, wasted no time taking their brood – Prince Christian, 12, Princess Isabella, 10, and six-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine – for a frolic on Sydney’s famous Palm Beach. Earlier, Frederik, 49, and Mary, 45, also found time for a morning run along the same stretch of sand, which is best known as the seaside location for Aussie drama Home and Away. But there were no TV cameras or soap stars in sight on the day the…

The holiday season should be full of friends, family, fun and festivities, but for Jennifer Aniston, we hear it’s been a nightmare time dominated by meetings with lawyers in Los Angeles. Those close to the actress say she is preparing to pull the plug on her marriage to Justin Theroux just two years after they tied the knot, with an official announcement due in January. “She just wants to get the festive season out of the way and then issue a statement,” reveals one of Jen’s friends, speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day. “She is viewing it as a new year and a new start.” The 48-year-old superstar and actor/writer Justin, 46, signed a prenuptial agreement that states they’ll keep everything they had before they wed, meaning she’ll walk away with…

It takes a lot to distract Martin Guptill from cricket. Inside the Auckland home he shares with his wife, sports presenter Laura McGoldrick, the first test match of the summer is blaring on the telly, with the injured Blackcap resigned to the couch to watch on as his teammates slug it out on the field. But for once, the Kiwi batting legend is not paying a smidgeon of attention to the action on the pitch, instead, he’s solely focused on his gorgeous wee daughter, Harley Louise Guptill. However, there is one little head that keeps spinning in the direction of the TV, much to the proud new dad’s delight. “She’s hooked already,” laughs Martin. “Poor girl!” It’s been a chaotic, crazy and wonderful 10 weeks for Martin, 31, and Laura,…

Still reeling from a divorce settlement that will require her to pay her ex-husband $13 million, an emotional Mel B has spoken out about her 10-year marriage to Stephen Belafonte, saying he left her “close to death literally and paralysed with fear”. “I am strong, but only because I’ve been incredibly weak,” says the Spice Girl, 42, who accused the film producer of physical abuse. “Time has made me fearless ... Be careful who you invite into your soul.” In contrast, Stephen, 42, announced outside court, “I’m single and ready to mingle.” He also described himself as “the happiest guy in the world” and said the ruling was a “beautiful gift”. Now mum-of-three Mel has a plan to recoup her lost millions. A source close to the America’s Got Talent…

KIERAN’S CUTIE That’s my boy! All Black captain Kieran Read and his wife Bridget were proud to introduce bub Reuben James to our readers. After two daughters, the sporting legend told us, “It was such a massive rush to see we had a son.” ARLO THERE, WEE ONE! All Black star Israel Dagg and his wife Daisy welcomed son Arlo Henry in April. Of becoming a father, the rugby hero told Woman’s Day, “It’s pretty bloody life-changing, eh?” CRAZY IN LOVE It was a “Perfect Duet” with the arrival of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s twins Rumi and Sir Carter in June. Their little girl was named after a 13th-century Persian poet, while the rapper explains of his son, “He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.” BY GEORGE,…

PRISCILLA PRESLEY, 72 “Priscilla has a sunken face and a bizarre lip job via too much – and oddly placed – fillers with an exaggerated Cupid’s bow and a Joker smile,” says Boston-based plastic surgeon Dave E. David. “It looks like she has also had Botox and a nose job.” MELANIE GRIFFITH, 60 “She’s definitely had a nose job, facelift and filler,” reveals New York plastic surgeon Dr Stephen T. Greenberg. “She has too much filler in her lips. Her overall look would benefit from an upper and lower eye lift to repair her droopy eye lids and remove excess skin.” SHARON OSBOURNE, 65 As well as the multiple facelifts she has admitted to, Dr Dave believes Sharon has had a nose job and eye lift. “She’s also had Botox…

After a high-risk pregnancy and dramatic delivery, wee Atticus Palmer arrived silently into the world. Without a peep, the gorgeous boy just glanced around the delivery suite, then looked his father Luke directly in the eye. “It took him a week to cry and on the day he was born, he just eyeballed me,” recalls Luke. And in that moment, the 31-year-old knew how lucky he and wife Amy were to finally realise their dream of becoming parents. “Against all medical advice, we took a huge risk – and thankfully it’s paid off,” he tells. “Now Amy has the second half of her life to live and we have a future together as a family.” “We’re both totally stoked – life couldn’t be any better,” says Amy, 24, curled up…

PICK UP A PEAR To nix a hangover really quickly, avoid that greasy slice of pizza and snack on a nashi pear. These sweet superfruits contain an enzyme that researchers say helps to metabolise alcohol, therefore reducing the effects of a hangover. Win-win! TRY AN ANTACID Bubbly, sugary cocktails disguise the fact that alcohol is incredibly acidic and can lead to painful heartburn the next day. While you think you should be mainlining painkillers, the pill you should really be popping when you wake up is an antacid. The sodium bicarbonate will neutralise any stomach acid and ease body aches. NIBBLE ON CHOCOLATE Yes, you read correctly! This treat can help kick your hangover to the curb – but only the dark stuff. Dark choccy not only replenishes your body’s…

Every New Year, I resolve not to make a single resolution, yet every year, one pops up uninvited: Don’t sweat the small stuff. How it gets in, I can’t imagine, but it’s a persistent little thing, a bit like the hangover rules from your youth that insist on lingering despite the fact the nuns can’t strap you any more and Mum can’t send you to your room. No eating in the streets is one (it brings disgrace on your school uniform). No going to the movies on a nice day is another (it’s a waste of sunshine). Despite the many years that have intervened since either of these orders was forced on me, I still can’t do either. And now my pesky old subconscious is foisting unwanted resolutions on me.…

Ever wondered what it’s like when the royals get together for a meal? According to Tom Parker Bowles, British food critic and judge of the new cooking competiton Family Food Fight, it’s a regally good time. Tom, 42, loves to catch up with mum, the Duchess of Cornwall, and stepfather Prince Charles at their official London residence Clarence House. And his stepbrothers, Princes William and Harry, will often pop over for a bite too. “I can’t speak for eating with the Queen, because I don’t,” he says. “But Harry and William are lovely boys. It’s always nice to see them.” The family dines on fresh, healthy ingredients – something both Tom and Charles are in agreement about. “He’s hugely knowledgeable about farming,” Tom says of our future king. “We could…

Just days after dragging four of her children out to a black-tie dinner at a posh New York restaurant, a grinning Angelina Jolie was photographed escorting another selection of her brood to a screening of the latest Star Wars film in Manhattan. It was an unusual public display for the Maleficent actress, 42, who a close source claims is “flaunting the kids in a very direct and deliberate attack” on her estranged husband Brad Pitt, 54, in revenge for his continued legal battle for joint custody of their six children, Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. “Brad has reached his wits’ end and is threatening to take Ange to court in the new year unless she lets him have more time with…

‘Tough love is the best way to get him to change his ways’ It seems 2017 has been a tough year for the Beckhams. While Victoria has been hard at work, continuing to build her fashion empire, David has been living it up, especially since he doesn’t have a strict football schedule to follow any more. And with the sporting legend’s frequent boys’ trips, where it is thought he and his pals party with other women, friends say Victoria, 43, has snapped at what she feels are her husband’s immature ways, and has apparently given him an ultimatum to change – or risk losing it all! We’re told David, 42, has been driving his wife up the wall with his midlife-crisis antics. He’s been posing constantly with his motorbike, raiding…

Jane and Martin Weekes’ Auckland home is a hive of activity. There are builders swarming as they put the finishing touches on a major renovation project, the family’s two dogs are curiously sniffing around, relatives are due any minute from the airport and a small emergency means Martin has to rush off to find a missing piece of essential building equipment. The Christmas tree is half-decorated, suitcases are waiting to be packed for a trip to Vietnam the following day, and four-year-old twins Poppy and Parker need collecting from kindergarten. But among the chaos, there’s one person who seems utterly unconcerned by the hubbub around him. Twelve-week-old baby Gunner is snoozing soundly in his mummy’s arms – a perfect little cherub who, like his siblings, has brought untold joy into…

JENNIFER LOPEZ Selling $38.3 MILLION NEW YORK Jenny’s leaving the block, but other A-listers, including Chelsea Clinton and former Nascar driver Jeff Gordon, still call this complex home! J.Lo, 48, has put her four-bedroom penthouse, which overlooks Madison Square Park and occupies the top two levels of the prestigious Whitman Building, on the market. With three terraces, two marble bathrooms, a media room and more inside the 605m 2  apartment, she’s hoping it’s worth the hefty price tag – Jennifer bought it in 2014 for a mere $31.6 million! MEL GIBSON Selling $42.7 MILLION COSTA RICA Serial property flipper Mel, 61, has decided to part ways with his slice of paradise in the Costa Rican jungle.

Q My husband always wants to have sex in public places such as changing rooms, toilets at parties and anywhere that’s really inappropriate. Before we were married, it was exciting, but now it’s just annoying. Will he ever grow out of this? • Exhausted, Cromwell AI’m sorry to say that your husband isn’t going to end his penchant for public action. There’s no “final destination” for the sexual daredevil and to his credit, maybe there shouldn’t be. Everybody is entitled to enjoy and express their sexual appetite as nature intended. We do grow and change, and for some people like you, what was once a thrill is now a chore. The question you have to ask yourself is, how would you feel if no more of these moments existed in…

It has become a running joke in this house – the length of time teenagers can sleep for. I used to think, “Oh, well. Growth spurt. They’re tired. They work hard,” etc. I’d overlook the skipping of breakfast and the pyjama appearance at lunch. But lately, it’s reached epic proportions. One of my sons emerged from his cave (bedroom) the other day and, through yawns, asked what was for breakfast. “Breakfast?” I replied. “We ate that hours ago. It’s 3.30 in the afternoon and it’s just about a different year.” He shrugged. “How is it possible you’ve slept for this long?” I asked. Another shrug. How would he know? He’s a teenager. They don’t deal in logic and reason or words. So I gave up the inquisition and tried to…

No Wi-Fi? No problem! Netflix content can now be downloaded and watched offline anywhere. Whether you’re on a long-haul flight or stuck at the bach with no internet, here are a few shows you can binge during your holiday break.

Your letters Cheap & cheerful Wow, I’m so pleased about your article “Merry thrifty mum” (WD, December 25). It is indeed very stressful to feed the family on Christmas Day when you are on a budget. A big thanks to Jessica Ault for sharing her awesome tips! I am so grateful that I could just follow her ideas and have a wonderful time, without the panic.

After enduring everything from an FBI raid on her Coatesville mansion to a very public divorce from an internet tycoon, Mona Dotcom knows how to handle the heat. So when the mercury began to rise in her new hometown of Queenstown, the Filipina beauty knew what to do, bundling her lover and her five children into a van for a cooling trip to Lake Wakatipu. While the water was cold, things appeared to be heating up between Mona, 29, and her new man, life insurance advisor and part-time model Luke Wainui, 25, as they made a splash with her kids, sons Kaylo, 10, Kimmo, eight, and Kobi, seven, plus five-year-old twin girls Keera and Kylee. “Mona and Luke looked very relaxed together,” a witness tells Woman’s Day. “Luke seemed like…

Hopefully, right now, you’re sitting back in the sun, enjoying a well-deserved break with your beloved family – and Woman’s Day. It’s the time of year when we’re supposed to start setting goals for the next, but before we say goodbye to 2017, I’m keen to take a moment of reflection. This year went so ridiculously quickly that I want to enjoy the rest of it while I can and to think about all I’m grateful for. Scrolling back through Instagram is a healthy reminder of happy times – holidays with the whanau in Tahiti, the Bay of Islands, Rotorua, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay, and sailing around the Hauraki Gulf. Mum getting her Queen’s honour for her science work was wonderful. My kids, well, I’m grateful for them every day, but…

Prince William has referred to his daughter Princess Charlotte as “a little joy from heaven”, but as the wee royal prepares to head to nursery school and the family gears up for another arrival, it appears there’s room for improvement for both her and Prince George. William and his pregnant wife Kate, both 35, have reportedly called in parenting expert Sue Atkins to tackle their tots’ occasional temper tantrums and ensure they’re prepared for another baby in the house. “Kate and William both feel a huge amount of pressure to ensure George and Charlotte are as well behaved as possible,” a palace source tells us. “They understand toddlers are unpredictable, but they want to try to nip certain behavioural issues in the bud before they escalate, especially given they’re in…

It was always going to be tough for Kiwi sporting legend Joe Sullivan to top 2012, the year he won an Olympic gold medal alongside rowing partner Nathan Cohen. But when Woman’s Day catches up with the talented athlete and his gorgeous fiancée Jordyn Raggett-Brierley, 23, at their Auckland home, Joe, 30, simply can’t stop smiling as he recounts an amazing 2017 that has seen him travel the world, buy a house, propose to the girl of his dreams and, of course, be a part of the team that brought the America’s Cup back home. “It’s just been incredible,” he says with a wide grin. “What a year. I can’t believe it all myself!” While bringing that big, shiny cup back to Aotearoa was an experience of a lifetime for…

Holi-date Skipping all the parties for a private date with someone special? Keep your look soft and luminous like Zendaya’s. Loose strands with a bit of bounce look sexy and touchable alongside a glossy lip. Defined brows paired with neutral shadows in brown, taupe and beige will play up your eyes and show off your natural beauty. Sleek & smart Follow Chloë’s lead and amp up the glam with slicked-back strands. Glowing skin and a bold, cherry-red pout are seasonal and sharp. To get that lit-from-within glow, mix a couple of drops of strobe cream or liquid illuminator into your foundation before you apply. Alternatively, pop the product on the back of your hand, then tap a small amount onto the tops of cheekbones, on the Cupid’s bow and onto…

Whenever I ask parents what they want for their kids, the top answers are always health and happiness. Leading active lives and having positive experiences with physical activity helps to foster a lifelong involvement in sport. Not only are there many physical benefits to this, but it also encourages social development and helps to build character. It is the perfect avenue for children to learn about challenges, and dealing with the highs and lows of winning and losing. Physical activity also boosts self-esteem, improves sleep, increases alertness and helps to create a positive outlook on life. It’s time to get out there! LIMIT SCREEN TIME Most of us didn’t grow up surrounded by screens, but times have changed. How about putting some holiday rules in place so the kids are…

Pollyism of the week I refuse to get old. In every respect, I have fought it. For years, I’d hold menus out as far as my arm could stretch, trying to deny that time was making it necessary to don spectacles at dinner. I have an iPhone. I know the latest hits. I use Snapchat. I am aware of fashion trends and try to embrace them in an appropriate manner. So yes to bright blue denim and no to shirred crop tops. I watch Netflix, Lightbox, Neon and Amazon Prime. I can tell you the life stories of Conor McGregor and Post Malone (ask your teen son if these names confuse you). I’m aware that Mexican food is on point and prawn cocktails are only for a ’70s-themed party. I…

Joining Tom at the judging table is Australian celeb chef Matt Moran. Woman’s Day grabbed five minutes with the 48-year-old father-of-two to get a taste of what’s to come. Why did you want to be a judge on this series? It’s a happy show and it’s about families. I like how multicultural the show is. How does it compare to other cooking competitions? MasterChef Australia is for the young, aspiring person to become the best chef in the world. My Kitchen Rules is a bit of drama that has purpose. This is feel-good and food I like to eat.

The restaurateur and Bravo standout, 57, reveals there’s more to her than diamonds and rosé. Good food, good wine, good friends and having my family around make me happy. The most unexpected fan to approach me was American journalist Anderson Cooper, after the first season of Housewives. I was gobsmacked! I once rode my daughter’s pony bareback through our village in England, in my pyjamas, to entertain my children. My ideal day off: Riding my horse, making out with puppies and having dinner at one of my favourite restaurants. The South of France, where I lived for eight years, is my favourite place in the world. Our philanthropic endeavours at the Vanderpump Dog Foundation have started to make a real difference. I’m proud of that every day. The last time…

DEC 23 - JAN 20 Capricorn It’s out with the old and in with the new, so clear the wardrobe! As your sense of style blooms, a shopping spree might be money well spent. Resolutions involving health could really stick, not just for you, but for a loved one as well. After months of uncertainty, the cosmos is shifting things up a gear. Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19 It has been a busy year, but silence can be golden. If you really need to switch off, enrol in a few yoga classes. As the buzz subsides, your inventive thinking should surge – you might even dream up an exciting creative project. It’s time to release your inner designer or writer. Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20 Your friendly nature…

Doting mum Janet Jackson looked at peace as she and her much-longed-for son Eissa str olled along the boardwalk at Florida’s Miami Beach, but behind the scenes, things are far from relaxed. Those close to the “Rhythm Nation” singer, 51, say she and her estranged husband, Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana, 42, are gearing up for an ugl y custody battle over their 11-month-old boy, with one family insider saying, “They are officially at war.” Janet’s brother Randy, 61, says she “felt like a prisoner in her own home” and that she was the victim of “verbal abuse” during the five-year marriage. However, another source alleges it was the R&B icon who was “vicious and demeaning” to Wissam, claiming, “She constantly belittled him as a husband and father. He says…
