Sports sensation Sonny Bill Williams is having quite the summer “bromance” with Kiwi-born Wallaby player Quade Cooper. The sun-loving lads have been inseparable right through Christmas and New Year, and we spotted the hunky sports heroes in an intense training session on Auckland’s Takapuna Beach and later playing golf in Remuera. They’ve also been gym buddies at Les Mills. Quade has been staying at Sonny Bill’s Mount Eden home, along with the All Black’s wife Alana and two young daughters. The hunky rugby stars, who have been mates for years, have become so close that Quade even cheekily posted a screen shot on Instagram showing his first text of 2018 was from Sonny Bill – a message urgently asking for toilet paper or wipes! Mysteriously, there’s been no sign of…

In the wake of her heartbreaking split from Brad Pitt in 2005, a teary Jennifer Aniston confessed, “I will love Brad for the rest of my life. You can’t take away good memories.” Now, 13 years later, with her marriage to Justin Theroux on thin ice, it seems like the former Hollywood super-couple are set to make new memories with an undercover reunion in the Colorado ski resort of Aspen! Multiple sources have confirmed that Jennifer has booked a secluded, palatial $14,000-a-night chalet for the coming weeks. The hideaway comes complete with hot tubs, multiple fireplaces, a movie room and a private chef. She has allegedly told Justin, who will be busy filming, that it’s simply a ski trip with friends – what she hasn’t mentioned is that one of…

They’re already married, with two gorgeous girls, but Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are set to mark their 12th anniversary with another wedding – and one more baby too! Woman’s Day can reveal that while the family was celebrating Christmas at her mum Janelle’s home in Sydney, the Kiwi-born country crooner got down on bended knee and presented the Oscar-winning actress with a $1.5 million, 10-carat Cartier diamond ring he’d had designed especially for his wife. “It was in front of just Janelle and their girls,” an insider tells us. “Nicole and Keith have been through their fair share of rocky times over the past few years, and they’ve just completed a six-month marriage-therapy course, so Keith wanted to mark the occasion and decided there was no better way than…

RITA ORA There isn’t “Anywhere” this knockout singer, 27, would rather be than at the gym, where she does boxing, plus “a lot of squats and weight lifting”. HEIDI KLUM “You don’t do this for others or what they may think of you – you do it for you,” the model, 44, says of her yoga. ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO The stunning South American, 36, sticks to a workout dubbed the “Brazilian Butt Lift”, which combines aerobics, samba and the martial art of capoeira. GORDON RAMSAY The potty-mouthed cook, 51, is also a keen Ironman triathlete. “I’ve seen so many chefs crash and burn,” he tells. “Training is my release. I’d be lost without it.” SCOTT EASTWOOD “If it’s a part of your life, then it’s not a chore,” the Suicide Squadactor,…

For most of us, “mindfulness” conjures up a quiet space for a bit of “me time”. For Hannah Miller, however, zen comes with an extremely sharp knife and an animal carcass. The 32-year-old is one of New Zealand’s top butchers – and more than that, a butcher with a conscience. The Oregon-born Kiwi, who has segued from chef jobs in posh London restaurants to cooking for South Pole scientists, can break down a 150kg beast as skilfully as any of her contemporaries. But in Hannah’s case, that carcass she’s stripping of every usable piece of meat is not just quite a few dinners. “For me, butchery is an exercise in mindfulness,” she tells. “It’s very zen. I always try to be appreciative of the fact that this was a living…

But the truth is, there are small things we can do each day to improve our health and happiness. The Mental Health Foundation suggests five simple ways to boost our wellbeing in every-day life.

There’s something about weddings that makes me all gooey, mushy and tearful every single time. I don’t know why, but even if I barely know the bride or groom, I still go weak at the knees at the witnessing of young love. All that hope and promise, all that effort, all those lovely vows and the beautiful gowns ... It’s magical. When I was growing up, I used to think you’d only feel that way about your own wedding. But actually, I love everybody’s weddings. I love watching and hearing people commit to each other inside the sanctity of such an ancient yet powerful institution. I felt particularly emotional when Australia voted yes to gay marriage. Everyone should be able to marry and I was thrilled that even when put…

Growing up, American Horror Story and Scream Queens actress Emma Roberts, 26, wished to “own all the books in the world”. She shares her best buys with Woman’s Day. SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM BY JOAN DIDION While on the road, Emma always buys a copy of her “idol” Joan’s short stories. “I have to have it in my hotel room because it’s such a comfort to me.” THE RULES DO NOT APPLY BY ARIEL LEVY The memoir from the New Yorker writer is “poetic and emotional”, and a favourite of the actress, who says, “I kept cancelling plans to read it.” THE END WE START FROM BY MEGAN HUNTER For her book club’s November read, Emma chose this “really, really beautiful” novel of a woman and her newborn surviving the apocalypse.…

House Rules stars Ella Cuthbert and Sean Mackay are high-school sweethearts who, along with renovating, also work together as paramedics.

The bubbly blondes give Woman’s Day their top five tips for working with your loved one. 1 Visualise goals and motivate each other Working with anyone – particularly your partner – will involve periods of lulls and fatigue, so it’s important to recognise this.

While her ex is stepping out with a much younger woman, beach babe Naomi Watts is showing the world she’s still got it at 49, putting on an athletic display in Byron Bay with her two boys. The Twin Peaks star seemed to be having a ball as she and sons Sasha, 10, and Sammy, nine, performed handstands and cartwheels in the sand in her native Australia, but life isn’t exactly a beach for Naomi. The actress is said to be furious her former partner Liev Schreiber, 50, is now dating 26-year-old pageant queen Taylor Neisen, who is almost half Naomi’s age, and the blossoming romance has driven a wedge between the two stars, who were determined to keep things amicable as co-parents.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden’s third wedding anniversary on January 5 was the sweetest celebration, with the lovebirds over the moon they are finally having the family they’ve been dreaming of. After struggling to conceive since their 2015 wedding, Woman’s Day understands that with the help of IVF, the superstar couple are delighted it’s not one but two little babies arriving in July. The What to Expect When You’re Expecting actress is believed to have got the positive pregnancy result on December 23, the day she was spotted leaving an LA fertility clinic.

Topping the box office with Star Wars: The Last Jedi and winning trophies for Big Little Lies, Laura Dern is at a career high – and it looks like her love life is peaking too! The Jurassic Park actress, 50, has been spotted packing on the PDA with former NBA all-star Baron Davis, 38, as the pair left the Beverly Hills Hotel, with the ex-athlete acting the perfect gentleman by carrying her purse. “They were laughing and talking, and having a great time,” a witness reports. “They were kissing and touching, and were all over each other.” The lovebirds reportedly met last month at a party thrown by Laura’s good friend Common, a rapper she was rumoured to be dating in 2016. “They hit it off instantly,” an insider reveals,…

Dianne Lake was a lost, vulnerable teenager when she first met “Charlie” at a party. The 14-year-old had been living in a commune with her hippie parents, who had given her a note essentially emancipating her. She recalls, “Charlie held me at arm’s length, looked at me and said, ‘Oh, you’re beautiful. I want to talk to you. I’ve been looking for you.’” Dianne found Charles Manson, then 32, charming and witty. The girls he lived with made her feel welcome and special, a feeling she had been craving her whole life. Hours later, the cult leader led Dianne out of the party and into his “magic bus”, where he seduced her. “He took his time to explore my body,” Dianne, now 64, remembers. “After a few minutes, he put…

Q I keep seeing scenes in movies of couples having sex in the shower, but whenever I try it with my husband, it’s a disaster. Am I missing something? • Frustrated, Auckland A You are asking for a physical disaster when it comes to hot, steamy environments traditionally made for one but involving the coordination skills of two. Now don’t get me wrong – if you somehow have the perfect height ratio and are both endowed with the flexibility of a Russian gymnast, by all means, go for your life. I’m jealous! But otherwise, the horrible truth is that film studios send out these images, but they don’t quite show the reality of a shower encounter. I know people who have ended up with back sprains, bruises, twisted ankles and…

Pollyism of the week I know Christmas is well and truly over, and the only reminders are sad remnants of ham threatening to turn and the tired tree that should have come down, but I have a festive story I want to share with you. Not my Christmas story. Oh, no. My Christmas story involves hormonal hysterics, a turducken [turkey, duck and chicken dish] for 12 with only three guests, resentments up the yin-yang and missing my puppy so much, I couldn’t bear seeing happy snaps of him with wonderful people on a posh-looking summer holiday. Somehow I’d misunderstood the plans for Christmas Day. So I made a giant lunch, had a broken dishwasher and spent most of the day in tears. That night, when I was debriefing with Tim,…

Your letters Waste not As a country, we pride ourselves on our clean, green image, but we know we can do more for the environment. There is a conscious choice of cotton bags over plastic ones. I also note the British example of selling products beyond their “best before” dates to staff and food banks, which reduces waste. Could we have a similar system here? Let’s make 2018 our year to buy less, cook more and grow a vege patch! • Mary, Nelson Gripe for the Day! Why do only mums and wives have the superpowers required to replace toilet paper, fill up the soap dispensers and replace the dishwashing liquid? I didn’t realise it required so much intelligence. Woe betide anyone who sits on the loo to discover there’s…

In a stunning scarlet silk Soeren Le Schmidt gown, Crown Princess Mary was the queen of the red carpet at the Danish royals’ traditional New Year’s Day reception in Copenhagen. Joining her husband Crown Prince Frederik, 49, at Amalienborg Palace, the 45-year-old mother-of-four broke out some of her very best crown jewels for the occasion, including a diamond and ruby tiara that dates back to the days of Napoleon, a brooch featuring a portrait of her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe II and a pendant marking that she is a member of the Order of the Elephant, Denmark’s highest honour. Tasmanian-born Mary was also sporting a gorgeous tan after spending her Christmas holidays back in her native Australia, where she showed off her fabulous figure on Sydney’s Palm Beach. Demi goddess Tell…

I’m all about the minivacay this summer after having a four-day break that knocked my socks off. I didn’t officially have a decent holiday scheduled until late January, but with the stunning December summer weather we’d been having, I was starting to get a bit jealous as I sat in our quiet Woman’s Day office after Christmas. So I bit the bullet and told my husband I was taking the Friday of New Year’s weekend off, and it was his job to find us a place to go camping – with just 24 hours’ notice. Now my pet hate is surfing the internet for travel arrangements, but Conrad specialises in this task and he totally nailed it this time. He found us a Coromandel campground less than two hours from…

He made global headlines as the hot, hipster-bearded bodyguard shadowing Labour leader Jacinda Ardern during the election campaign, but while Iain McKay takes his job protecting New Zealand’s prime minister very seriously, it’s a certain TV personality who is his top priority. The diplomatic protection officer has been dating 1 News reporter and Q+A presenter Jessica Mutch since late 2015 and, just before Christmas, the hunk got down on bended knee and popped the question at a fancy Auckland restaurant. “We had a really frantic week, but somehow Iain convinced me we needed to squeeze in a nice dinner at The Sugar Club, at the top of the Sky Tower,” tells Jessica, showing off a glittering engagement ring with 68 diamonds. “We had an amazing meal looking out over the…

Am I the only person in the world who has spent upwards of 40 years searching for the perfect swimming costume? It started when I was about six and noticed other little girls were wearing bikinis. Mum, bless her Singer sewing machine, whipped me up one, even though, then as now, I was not exactly bikini material. It had a blue and white cotton top, and blue towelling bottoms, which, as it turned out, collected sand, water and anything else that was going. They sometimes stayed sitting when I stood up, which was not ideal. A few years later, the two-piece was all the rage and with my own paper-round money, I bought a fetching, low-cut minidress-type thing with matching bikini bottoms. I thought I was all that until the…

ON BODY CONFIDENCE When I first started on television, people – even my own manager at the time – would tell me I had to make all of these changes. But you have to stand up and say, “There’s nothing wrong with me or my shape or who I am. You’re the one with the problem!” When you can really believe that, all of a sudden, other people start believing too. ON LOVE I have my own high standards for what I want in a…
