She described the end of her marriage to Brad Pitt as the most painful time of her life, but almost two years on, Angelina Jolie is emerging from the sadness and grief. The glamorous red-carpet queen oozed confidence and calm as she attended a war memorial at St Paul’s Cathedral in London on June 28, with many fans putting her happiness down to the fact her bitter custody dispute has finally been settled. But Woman’s Day can reveal there’s another reason Angelina is finally smiling again and it’s all thanks to hunky British actor Ed Skrein. “She’s head over heels,” tells a well-placed insider, who claims Angelina and her Maleficent 2 co-star have fallen for each other on set in London. “From the moment they met, Angelina and Ed just…

Since his unauthorised TV interview and criticism of the Queen, Thomas Markle has been privately begging his daughter, the new Duchess of Sussex, to forgive and forget. “Thomas adores his daughter and swears he never wanted attention from the interviews,” a source close to the Mexican-based retiree tells Woman’s Day. “All he’s ever cared about is protecting Meghan.” However, it appears his apology has fallen on deaf ears as the duchess, 36, hasn’t spoken to her dad, 73, since her wedding day, with rumours that the Windsors have encouraged her to cut all ties with Thomas. “She’s a royal now – a cultural gulf is opening up between them,” reveals one palace insider. “Thomas is heartbroken,” reports a Markle family insider. He’s been overheard telling friends, “I haven’t talked to…

They just rang in an impressive 20 years of marriage, but those close to Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber say their relationship is close to breaking point. The couple appear to have been splitting assets over the past few years, recently selling their Malibu mansion for $45 million. Now many of their friends believe that Cindy, 52, and Rande, 56, will divorce by the end of the year – they’re apparently just waiting for their kids, Presley, 19, and Kaia, 16, to fly the nest. “They’re financially set beyond their wildest dreams, but that doesn’t solve marital problems,” says a source.…

Renée Chignell was only 18 when she made her living doing a little bondage and discipline from the spare room of her rented Auckland townhouse. Still only a fresh-faced teen when her middle-aged client Peter Plumley-Walker stopped breathing while shackled to the wall and ceiling in a B&D session gone horribly wrong. The events of that fateful day in 1989 made her a household name for the worst of reasons. Almost 30 years later, the woman who introduced New Zealand to the word “dominatrix” in a blaze of sensational headlines can stand completely unnoticed outside an Auckland hotel waiting for Woman’s Day to meet her for a chat. Understandably, that’s just the way she likes it. There’s something instantly likeable about Renée, now 47. Her cascading mass of honey-blonde hair…

Mark Wahlberg’s secret to a harmonious marriage is simple. He tells Woman’s Day, “I work hard to show Rhea how much I love and support her, and what she does to hold our home life together.” It may seem obvious, but in the public pressure cooker of Hollywood, it’s this dedication to teamwork that has kept the couple strong since they tied the knot in 2009. And their fitness regimes don’t hurt either! “It always feels good to look good,” says Mark, with Rhea adding, “We also want to be around a long time for our kids, so we put in the work!” The Transformers actor, 47, and the 40-year-old former model – who are parents to Ella, 14, Michael, 12, Brendan, nine, and Grace, eight – let us in…

Gymnast Katherine Paton cartwheels gracefully across a mat in an Auckland hall, her sequined leotard sparkling under the lights. She’s the epitome of vigour as she spins and leaps, her limbs moving effortlessly in sync with the music. You wouldn’t know the 24-year-old is battling kidney failure and relies on daily dialysis to survive. Despite being hooked up to a machine every six hours, the dedicated sportswoman trains six days a week as a member of New Zealand’s Senior Rhythmic Gymnastics Group. Together, they’re vigorously preparing to compete in two competitions in Belarus and Russia, followed by the world championships in Bulgaria. Speaking to Woman’s Day, Katherine explains how gymnastics helps her to lead as normal a life as possible, saying, “It inspires me to stay healthy. It’s the reason…

You may pat yourself on the back for religious dedication to your daily facial skincare regime, but unfortunately, hands are often neglected. They’re constantly exposed to the elements and have to weather lots of daily wear and tear, so if you’re conscious about the look of yours, a little extra TLC and attention will help keep them looking young. Banish spots Dark spots are usually the first sign of ageing on hands, with in-clinic laser treatments an excellent option for removing these. If you’re on a budget but serious about blitzing them, using a vitamin C serum like (1) The Body Shop Vitamin C Instant Glow Enhancer, $49.95, is an effective way to replicate this process at home. Go one step further and use a microneedle device such as (2)…

How Rachel got on track At 1.58m tall and once weighing 99kg, Rachel Woodrow has lost 36kg and beat type 2 diabetes. Losing the kilos has also helped the Wellingtonian to get pregnant with her third child Tabitha, now five, after 13 years of trying. Rachel, 44, is now an advocate for Fitbit and appears in an international marketing campaign for the brand’s new Versa smartwatch. How did your diabetes affect your daily life? Having uncontrolled type 2 diabetes was exhausting. I was depressed, had aches and pains, headaches, as well as trouble focusing. And trying to do physical work would reduce me to tears. What was the catalyst for you to make changes? When my doctor confirmed I had diabetes and it was bad, I felt humiliated. I took…

Holding A’Court My daughter and I have been lucky – neither of us has had a big issue with body image. Sure, no-one would ever mistake us for catwalk models, but she is a glorious dancer, and I like the way my body can do yoga and walk for miles. We have friends, though, who have fought battles with eating disorders and none of us is immune to dark days when we wished we looked different. So before we talk about your body, let’s have a little chat about your brain. Your brain does some quite clever things without you even asking it to. One of those things is that each day as you go about your business, your brain takes a snapshot of all the people you see –…

My son called me from his bedroom today. I was upstairs. God forbid he walk the short distance to talk to me in person. He was calling to ask me what was happening with the Wi-Fi. Unless it involves food or Wi-Fi, you are unlikely to hear from a teenager. The Wi-Fi was “lagging”, he explained, which meant he was having trouble playing Fortnite. Anyone with a teenager or a child above the age of about eight will know what Fortnite is – a video game sweeping the world that’s bigger than the Pokémon craze. It actually makes me miss Pokémon – and I thought that was bad. It now seems tame compared with this. Fortnite has made millions for one clever young man who invented an online game that…

Flu fighters I found your recent article “Fend off the flu” (WD, July 2) very useful and I have one more tip. I have three toothbrushes and rotate them during the week. Once used, I rinse and leave them brush down in a glass that contains very salty water. Bacteria and viruses do not survive in salt water – they actually burst! This is an inexpensive and readily available way to keep those germs away. • Silvia, Wellington Seize the grey Thank you so much for the article on going grey with grace (WD, July 2). It’s a huge decision that has had me procrastinating for some time, but after seeing the “softer options” and all the gorgeous shades of grey worn by the stars, I feel much happier about…

What a trooper! Just days after pulling out of the same St Paul’s Cathedral service that Angelina attended because she felt “under the weather”, the Queen was back on duty and looking like a ray of sunshine on a visit to Edinburgh. But while she’s now recovered from her cold, it’s been reported Her Majesty, 92, is suffering from “worsening pain” in her knees. She’s refusing surgery, though, as she doesn’t want to miss further official engagements after a secret operation to remove a cataract in May – the reason she’s taken to wearing tinted sunglasses. A palace source explains, “People from her and Prince Philip’s generation battle through problems and carry on.”…

Hollywood beauty Margot Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley have dropped a baby-shaped bombshell, reportedly telling their close friends they’re expecting their first child together. The couple, who have been married for 18 months, have often spoken about wanting a large family and relocating to Australia when it happens. “They announced the news a couple of weeks ago at a low-key dinner for a friend’s birthday,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “Margot couldn’t help but spill the beans after refusing some celebratory champagne and getting a sea of knowing glances from their pals.” And it couldn’t come at a better time, with Margot, 28, currently playing a pregnant murder victim in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Our insider adds, “Margot is one of four and has always said…

Reese Witherspoon blindly walked into parenthood. Pregnant with her first child, daughter Ava at just 23, she recalls, “I didn’t know what I was doing. I was so young. When people ask, ‘When’s the best time to get pregnant?’ I say, ‘Pick the best day for when your entire life is gonna change.’ There’s no good time to have your world turned upside down.” In the best way possible, that is. Over the past 18 years, Reese, 42, and her mini-me Ava have developed a mother-daughter relationship that runs deeper than most. A family insider tells Woman’s Day, “They’re best friends. They just love being together.” Because it’s together that they’ve weathered it all. Ava was just seven when Reese split from Ryan Phillippe in 2006. “A tough year” followed…

She’s an artist and award-winning filmmaker, but as Awa Puna prepares for a photo shoot with Woman’s Day in the lounge of her family’s Kapiti Coast home, excitedly fiddling with her dark curls and clutching a fresh cup of herbal tea, she could be any young woman. It’s easy to forget the gentle 19-year-old beauty was born a boy. Named Te Awarangi by her parents, painter Caroline and policeman Te Roera, she grew up beside the beach, with three older brothers, in a house filled with visitors, animals and art. She spent much of her childhood writing stories or acting out quirky characters in the backyard. “She’s always had a sparkly personality,” laughs Caroline, 54, recalling how Awa used to walk around in a little green blanket to be like…

She claims to have solved some of the Kiwi showbiz world’s biggest mysteries – from finding Paul Henry’s mislaid studio signs and locating ZM radio star PJ Harding’s missing choker, to identifying the poor woman who accidentally “murdered” Marc Ellis’ prize pumpkin. She also once graced the pages of Woman’s Day as a mum who is also a medium. But Kerry-Marie Callander’s celebrity cameos are about to give way to a starring role when she takes up her job as the new psychic on the hit TV show Sensing Murder. The Aucklander, 57, who’s been working as a medium for the past 22 years, says she had a hunch about her new job, despite having to wait a while to get the good news. She says, “I thought I’d done…

Diabetes is a chronic health condition. Type 1 is where the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Type 2 diabetes, which is mostly associated with obesity, affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose). The Ministry of Health’s website (health. govt.nz) has some great advice. Check out diabetes.org. nz for a range of helpful resources. What is HbA1c? HbA1c refers to glycated haemoglobin. It develops when haemoglobin, a protein within red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body, joins with glucose in the blood, becoming “glycated”. By measuring HbA1c, clinicians are able to get an overall picture of what our average blood sugar levels have been over a period of weeks and months. For people with diabetes, this is important as the higher the HbA1c,…

Pollyism of the week There were 10 in the bed and the little one said, “Room for one more?” I refer to my household as one of three things – the Munster Mansion, the Commune or the Kibbutz. It really should also be known as the Animal Farm. I’m not complaining, though. I have a big, old, rambling country house desperately in need of some TLC. Yet it’s not in the country and it probably needs a new roof, new insulation (or any) and a damn good looking at. I love my home, as creaky, cold and old as it is, because it’s filled with people I love and animals I adore. The first is Timothy, my partner, who is kind, loving and never lets me carry anything heavier than…

Five-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams is set to take on her darkest and most challenging role yet in the new series Sharp Objects. Based on a novel written by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn, this show follows troubled reporter Camille Preaker, who returns to her small hometown to look into the disappearance of a young girl. “I often said if I left the set feeling like I needed to cry, I’d done my job,” says Amy, 43. “I had residual pain from playing her. Also, I tend to get early morning insomnia and that’s when Camille would catch up with me. I’d wake up in the middle of the night with unexplained terror or self-loathing and have to work my way out of it.” However, Amy insists she enjoyed the…

Orange is the New Black star Laverne Cox takes on the role of host. She says, “I started wearing make-up in high school. It was an expression of my femininity and gender expression, but it was also a way for me to announce to the world that you think you know who I am and what I’m about, but this make-up is telling you a different story.” Kim’s make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic is one of the judges. Kim’s go-to beauty guru since almost the beginning of Keeping up with the Kardashians, says of the series, “Being myself authentically is the only way to go. It just works.” The show is executive produced by Kim Kardashian West and sees a group of make-up artists compete to win the title of Glam…

Feel-good vibe I loved reading your mag more than ever this week! First we had the lovely story of our very capable Prime Minister giving birth to the beautiful wee “prime miniature” (WD, July 2), followed by Pierce Brosnan celebrating 17 years of marriage. Then the lovely sisters who helped bring a much-wanted bub into the world when one sister was born without a uterus. It’s so inspiring to read about such positivity to dampen the misery of what’s going on in the world. Lyn, Mangatawhiri…

Telling remarkable stories is at the heart of why I love working at Woman’s Day, and in particular, it’s tales from New Zealand women who have trusted us to share their personal experiences that I’m most proud of. I immediately liked Renée Chignell. We’d chatted on the phone while she considered doing a story, and she was warm and friendly, but in person, she’s even lovelier. As she talked about the things she adored – her son, partner and work as a caregiver – it’s clear she has a heart of gold. Yet until I met her for myself, her name had been synonymous with the sordid world of a teen dominatrix. She became infamous almost 30 years ago at the centre of dark criminal trials after the death of…

She’s poised to become queen when her husband Prince Charles eventually ascends the throne, but amid simmering tensions at the palace and continued public unpopularity, the Duchess of Cornwall is reportedly considering walking away from the royal family altogether. On a visit to London’s Garden Museum recently, Camilla, 70, took the extraordinary step of publicly confessing she’d rather be pottering around in her garden than performing her official duties. Inspecting a display of flowers, the duchess declared, “I’d be here all day given half the chance. Joking apart, I’d do this every day if I could.” Not long afterwards, a palace insider claimed that Camilla was “edging towards retirement for the sake of both her mental and physical health”, hinting that the duchess’ popularity had plummeted within the palace walls.…

He’s been enjoying long naps on the couch, but DWTS finalist Chris Harris isn’t done busting moves quite yet. The former cricketer tells Woman’s Day he’d like to take some ballroom lessons with his wife Linda so they can impress at the future weddings of their children, Sophie, 16, and eight-year-old twins Phoebe and Louis. “And I’d love for us all to learn a jive that we could pull out as a party trick!” Asked what the future holds now, Chris, 48, replies, “A knee operation! It was an issue before the show and dancing hasn’t helped – it’s a miracle I got through without it breaking.” And the highlight of his DWTS time? “Working with Vanessa, who was the best pro dancer and choreographer, as well as a great…

Surrounded by her Big Bang Theory co-stars, Kaley Cuoco got hitched to her equestrian beau Karl Cook in an intimate ceremony at a ranch in San Diego, California. The 32-year-old actress wore a stunning caped gown by Reem Acra as she and Karl, 26, were married by her sister Briana, who got ordained for the special occasion. It’s the second marriage for Kaley, who got hitched to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting on another Californian ranch in 2013, but divorced him in 2016. “I honestly thought I wouldn’t get married again,” she says. “I had to go through a lot of things, but it brought me to Karl.”…

She’s never been lucky in love, but Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue has fans “Spinning Around” with joy amid rumours she’s engaged to boyfriend Paul Solomons. After going public with their relationship at her 50th birthday party in May, the singer was spotted last week wearing a new ring on her wedding finger as she and Paul, 43, the creative director of British GQ magazine, stepped out in London. Following a string of failed romances, Kylie had publicly sworn off marriage, although since she began dating her new man in April, she has confessed, “Maybe it is for me … Life’s, I won’t say a little bit, I’ll say a lot, better. Life’s great.”…

Since giving birth to two children with the same disability – the chances of which are rated at one in three million – life has been demanding for Aucklander Anna Fariu. But the 39-year-old has proved to be a mum in three million by coping with the many day-to-day challenges. Having always wanted kids, Anna was elated when her first child Timothy arrived in 1999. After a normal birth, it was only when Anna noticed delays in her son’s walking that she became alarmed. Shortly after, her fears were confirmed when he was diagnosed with spastic diplegia, a neurological disorder that causes stiffness and tightening of the calves, quads and hamstrings, and also affects muscle control and coordination. “It was a relief to make sense of why Timothy’s learning and…

I often hear people say their main reason for not exercising is due to a lack of time. But the reality is, you don’t need a huge amount of time when it comes to working out.

Any moment now, I’ll stop crying about Jacinda’s baby. OK, maybe not right now. But soon. Probably. Possibly.OK, I may not. There’s just something about babies that makes me cry. With happiness, of course.

She made a name for herself as the bad girl of The Hills and Laguna Beach, but eight years after her scandalous days on reality shows, Kristin Cavallari is living the quiet life in Nashville with her husband Jay Cutler and three kids, sons Camden, five, and Jaxon, four, and daughter Saylor, two. Now the 31-year-old’s making a return to TV and is taking us behind the scenes of Very Cavallari. Why come back to reality TV now? A few things just all lined up for me. One of them is that my husband retired from football. Before, we were always on his schedule and it’s really important to us that we’re there for our kids – we don’t want nannies raising our kids. And then we also moved to…

Looking fit and fabulous ahead of her Las Vegas residency, Lady Gaga made a splash as she holidayed in the Hamptons. And just in case there weren’t any “Paparazzi”, the kooky singer, 32, made sure to bring her own official photographer in the shape of her fiancé, talent agent Christian Carino, 49, who also acted as a wine waiter, serving her glasses as the pair soaked up the sun on New York’s Long Island. The pair got engaged late last year, but they’re not about to race down the aisle. A close source tells us, “They haven’t set a wedding date. They’re in no rush.”…
