Toni Street always knew the arrival of her third baby would be emotional, but nothing in the world could have prepared her for the overwhelming experience of welcoming a child via surrogacy. It’s thanks to the incredible generosity of her best friend Sophie Braggins that Toni and her husband Matt France are now parents to little Lachlan Stephen France, who arrived in a whirlwind of love, tears and gratitude on August 9. And when Woman’s Day visits the broadcaster at her Auckland home just a week after his birth, tears flow readily as she introduces her newest delight. “I look at Lachie and get these ‘wow’ moments over how lucky we are,” she tells us as she settles onto the sofa with her tiny boy sleeping soundly in a bassinet…

Ever since Princess Eugenie announced her engagement, the Duchess of York has been basking in the reflected glory of her youngest daughter’s upcoming wedding by publicly gushing over the bride and groom – and the royal family is not amused. Most recently, Sarah Ferguson has angered the palace by waxing lyrical on radio about how she and ex-husband Prince Andrew are welcoming tequila ambassador Jack Brooksbank, 32, into The Firm. “Jack is a really amazing bringer of light and he brings joy,” she raved. “I say to Jack, ‘Always just stay yourself.’ I keep saying that to myself. What else can you do in life? The thing about Andrew and I is that we go with our hearts. We go with family unity and we really believe in that. You…

At the age of 11, Brooke Blurton tragically lost her mum to suicide and then her beloved grandmother to a stroke just one month later. While it made her teenage years tough, she admits the deaths have made her more “appreciative because you have no idea what’s around the corner”. But the 23-year-old youth worker says her mum and nan have never really gone. “I am a massive believer in the idea that they never really left the earth,” Brooke tells us. “They’ve always walked with me wherever I am, whether that’s on The Bachelor or playing footy. I feel them supporting and encouraging me. I am really spiritual about who I am and who I am most connected to.”…

After three months of shaking his stuff for Dancing with the Stars, he’s arguably hotter and hunkier than ever, but Roger Farrelly is glad he’s ineligible to win the Woman’s Day title of New Zealand’s Hottest Radio Hunk for the second year in a row. After all, how would he top that shirtless beach photo shoot or those infamous pictures of him in his boxers? “I’m four or five kilos lighter and trimmer, but you still don’t want to see me in a G-string,” explains the longtime presenter of The Rock’s Morning Rumble breakfast show. “Actually, I don’t think there are any male radio announcers you want to see in a G-string, except maybe my co-host Andrew Mulligan.” Winning last year’s trophy was “a dream” for Rog, 45, who lives…

There’s nothing like a good spring clean to get you energised and looking forward to summer. Clean the clutter now and you’ll clear your mind for the crazy last months of the year. Start with the one thing that really bugs you – a jam-packed wardrobe that slows your morning rush, a pantry or fridge that makes dinner preparation a mess, paper clutter that’s drowning you, or kids’ rooms where you can’t see the floor.

I saw a beautiful video on Facebook the other day. It was so good that I had to repost it – it’s perhaps the most poignant piece I’ve ever seen about losing someone slowly. A singer is holding his mother who has Alzheimer’s. She clutches on to him, looking scared but knowing to trust the boy beside her. I have a dear friend who is losing her beloved husband to early-onset Alzheimer’s. She is bubbly, artistic and beautiful – the sort of woman who captures every man’s attention with a twinkle in her eye. He was her steady rock. He was a charming, patient, intelligent, kind man who adored her and their lovely home, where she would roll in the grass just for fun and pick flowers for their dining…

FOR PRESCHOOLERS MY VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR The world’s most-loved larva is having a modern transformation, going from the pages of books to its very own app!

Television stars and fans are grappling for answers after the tragic death of popular broadcaster Greg Boyed, a man renowned for bringing fun, light and kindness wherever he went. The 1 News Tonight anchor and familiar face on our nation’s television screens for more than two decades was holidaying in Switzerland with his international singer-songwriter wife Caroline Chevin, 44, and their three-year-old son Kian when he died suddenly last week. His heartbroken family released a statement on Wednesday saying the 48-year-old father-of-two – who has a 21-year-old daughter Pip from a previous relationship – had been battling depression. Word of his death left colleagues stunned and viewers shedding tears as moving tributes aired throughout the day paying respect to the esteemed journalist, whose career spanned 25 years in the TVNZ…

‘ I went to an all-white school and I got on the bus for two hours to get there, but I never realised I was poor ’ When Woman’s Day meets will.i.am in his Los Angeles office, he immediately starts to talk about how much he loves New Zealand. “When the world falls apart, that’s where everyone’s going to move,” laughs the Black Eyed Peas frontman. It was on his last visit to Aotearoa that the Grammy-winning hip-hop artist donated $100,000 for new computers and iPads to a network of low-decile schools. Growing up in the ghetto in LA taught Will – whose real name is William James Adams Jr – the importance of giving back, he explains. “It’s about seeing the divide and doing something. When there’s an earthquake…

Walking into the home of young father Chris Symmans, you can see the tiredness under his eyes. There’s stubble on his chin and fatigue has pulled him onto the couch, where he’s resting with toddler Leo on his knee, recovering from a five-day headache. The dad-of-two is tired but welcoming as he speaks to Woman’s Day in his Upper Hutt lounge a year after he mysteriously contracted bacterial meningitis. His wife of four years, Keara, jiggles their daughter Freya on her hip, filling in any blanks of the frightening story that Chris can’t remember. Along with short-term memory loss, headaches and chronic fatigue syndrome, the 25-year-old suffers hearing loss in his right ear, and occasional delayed speech and movement, because of the disease that almost killed him a year ago.…

There’s no better time than spring to inject a pop of colour into your cheeks for a pretty, youthful look. But if the thought of applying blush scares you, follow our tricks of the trade. Build up a collection Don’t get too hung up on which colour to choose. Invest in a couple of shades – a soft, peachy one and a pinky tone are good places to start. You’ll find that once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll want to add more to your kit.

The concept of taking a digital detox is not a new one, but I firmly believe that having a break from our devices is important for our health and wellbeing. We live in a world where constant connectedness is the norm – some estimates show that we spend the equivalent of three weeks every year on social media and checking emails. Imagine what else could be achieved in that time?! Switching off for a while can have amazing benefits, with sleep, relationships and appreciation for life all sure to improve. SHAPE UP The bright light from our phones and tablets has been linked to obesity, which might be down to their effects on sleep. It’s a fact that poor sleep makes it harder to control our appetites, so cut down…

It’s not very often that I want to be a top international celebrity. Aside from the financial benefits, mostly it looks like it sucks. Imagine not being able to go to the dairy with bird’s-nest hair and yesterday’s make-up for fear of winding up on a billboard somewhere with loo paper trailing from your Uggs?! Worse, you can’t even whinge about being in the public eye because that’s how you get famous in the first place – and nobody likes a million-dollar whinger. No, for most of the year, I’m perfectly happy being me and don’t want to be in celebrity shoes at all. Then I find myself looking out into the cold, grey winter gloom at the exact time all the celebs seem to be swanning around the sun…

Kris Jenner couldn’t have written it better. During the early days of Keeping up with the Kardashians, she joked, “Season 20, Kylie gets married." Turns out, the 62-year-old wasn’t far off! The 15th season of the hit E! show follows Kylie Jenner, 21, and sister Khloé Kardashian, 34, as they welcome daughters Stormi and True into the world. And if that wasn’t enough baby drama, the cameras also follow 37-year-old Kim Kardashian West’s surrogacy journey. “It’s like a nursery school – there are so many babies!” laughs Kris. “I don’t think anybody can predict what’s going to happen with this family.” The momager and grandmother-of-nine takes us behind the scenes ... How is Kylie adjusting to being a mum? She took to motherhood like nothing I’ve ever seen. Kylie is…

Design dads and interior gurus Nate and Jeremiah Berkus talk to us about love, life, their careers and being parents to Poppy, three, and four-month-old Oskar. What’s your number-one piece of home renovation advice? Nate: Don’t cut corners on construction. The base of any renovation has to be done right the first time, so a licensed, reputable contractor is always a must. Jeremiah: Imagine the moments you want to have in each space. A home is made to be beautiful, no doubt, but more importantly, it is made for the people in it. What has been the highlight of your careers so far? Jeremiah: Being able to work with my husband, doing what we both love the most. We learn from each other every day. Nate: I’ve been really fortunate…

I know we use the words “miracle baby” liberally here at Woman’s Day, but I think you’ll agree that Toni Street’s lovely little Lachie well and truly is. When you see the cherub in the arms of his besotted mum, you can feel the love and intense bond between them, and there’s absolutely no doubt whose child he is. But just a few weeks ago, Lachie was in the tum of another mum! Toni’s best friend Sophie Braggins gave the most amazing gift by being a surrogate for this special baby boy. For nine long months we’ve followed Toni’s rollercoaster journey. She’s run the whole gamut of emotions – joy, fear, sickness and elation – and to finally see her cradle Lachie is one of the loveliest moments I’ve had…

It’s been three years since they separated, but Jennifer Garner was the first to swoop in when her estranged husband Ben Affleck appeared to fall off the wagon amid a string of public dates with a 22-year-old Playboy model. The frightened Peppermint actress, 46, and a friend turned up at her ex’s Pacific Palisades bachelor pad last week to stage a lengthy intervention after the Justice League actor was seen having beer and liquor delivered to his home following a boozy dinner with young beauty Shauna Sexton. Thankfully, 46-year-old Ben – a self-confessed alcoholic who sought treatment in both 2001 and 2017 – didn’t put up a fight and even begged for help, with Jennifer then driving the teary star to a live-in rehabilitation facility, where he’ll reportedly spend “an…

SWANKY WEDDING! HILARY’S MILLION-DOLLAR MAN Standing underneath a picturesque canopy of trees and surrounded by a circle of white petals, actress Hilary Swank married “the man of my dreams”, entrepreneur Philip Schneider, in a lavish ceremony in California. Wearing an elegant Elie Saab gown, the Million Dollar Baby star walked down the aisle on the arm of her father just a few years after she took a break from acting to help him recover from a lung transplant. “It was timeless,” Hilary, 44, says of her special day. “There is just no other way to describe it. I was overwhelmed with such gratitude and thanks to be marrying the man of my dreams, and to see all the people we love together in the middle of such a profound setting.…

RENEE WRIGHT, TVNZ “Heartbroken. You were so loved, my darling friend.” ERIC YOUNG, PRIME “Greg was the kindest, sweetest, silliest man I knew.” PM JACINDA ARDERN “So saddened to hear of the passing of Greg Boyed. I’ll be one of many who will have sat opposite him over the years – such a thoughtful interviewer who was quick to share a laugh. My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.” JENNY-MAY CLARKSON, TVNZ “My heart aches, I love you, my friend. xo” DAMIAN CHRISTIE, TVNZ “Suddenly, my own doubts seem so very trivial.

Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins has kept a relatively low profile since filming wrapped for The Bachelor Australia. But after the premiere of the Bravo reality show last week, rumours are swirling that the new season is already heading for disaster. Speculation is rife that the former rugby player is hoping for a romantic reunion with his Norwegian ex-girlfriend Martine Thomassen after failing to find love on the show. Nick, 30, added fuel to the rumours earlier this month by admitting to one of his social media followers that he would soon be jetting off to Norway, where his former lover resides. The rugby player-turned-reality star still follows the blonde beauty on Instagram and they frequently like each other’s photos, despite ending their five-year relationship in 2016. One Bachelor insider is…

There’s no doubt “Crystal Cayla” Tudehope will leave her mark on the mansion, but it sounds like her spooky interests made some of the girls a little uncomfortable! “She was always doing weird spells, which really freaked me out,” says Romy Poulier. “She read my palm and told me I was going to have a miscarriage.” Things got really wacky when Alisha Aitken-Radburn collapsed during a rose ceremony, which led the girls to think Cayla, 27, had cast a spell on her after a testy conversation. “The day before it happened, Cayla wasn’t feeling well, so the ceremony went on for even longer than usual,” reveals Romy. “Alisha spoke to her to find out how sick she really was – the ceremony is nerve-racking enough without someone making it go…

Getting ready in the morning usually consists of the mundane tasks such as brushing your teeth or making your bed. But for Nicole Rebstock, it has also included making life-changing decisions. At the age of 22, the young law student chose to forgo a legal career and set up her own shoe brand, REB by Nicole Rebstock. Now 27, the Aucklander confesses to Woman’s Day that it was an epiphany when she realised she would rather take a chance on being a footwear designer than struggle to leave home every day to practise law. The young business owner tells, “One morning I woke up, sat in bed and thought, ‘Everyone has to start somewhere. You aren’t just born a shoe designer or an entrepreneur – you have to work for…

Q Our son has just started at his new school. My husband and I went to meet the teacher, and I thought she was lovely. It wasn’t until we got home that my husband told me he used to date her a long time ago, before he knew me. I’m uncomfortable about this and I want to move my son to a different class. Does that make me a bit crazy? • Soccer Mum, Auckland A Crazy? No. A little bit ridiculous, yes. Babe, if he hadn’t wanted you to know, he wouldn’t have told you. Also he used to date her. We all used to date someone. He married you. If they’d been a great match, then he wouldn’t have stopped dating her. For goodness’ sake, let it go…

I wonder if your house is like mine, where sometimes the weeks are so busy that it’s really important to add in fun activities to break up the daily hustle and bustle? I was under enormous pressure to allow my youngest daughter to do “something fun” one weekend recently. To be fair, both my husband and I were working all of the final week of the school holidays, so it has been a pretty boring time for the kids – apart from the one obsessed with Fortnite. So one Friday night, I let my daughter have a sleepover. Sleepovers, as most parents who’ve ever hosted one know, are really more of a “no-sleep over”. Excitement levels are through the roof, sugar and popcorn have usually been consumed … it’s not…

When British-Malaysian actor Henry Golding landed the coveted lead role of Nick in the film adaptation of best-selling novel Crazy Rich Asians, he had to keep it so secret that he only told his dad. He grins, “I knew if I told my mum, she’d be chatting away with everyone in Malaysia!” The first-ever Hollywood film to feature an all-Asian cast, the story follows Henry’s character as he brings his American girlfriend, played by Fresh off the Boat actress Constance Wu, to meet his wildly wealthy family in Singapore.

Victim support I’m writing in response to the article “Tears for murdered Kim” (WD, August 13). Having watched Cory Jefferies during the recent trial shown on TV, I’d say he portrayed classic signs of narcissistic personality disorder. Not once did he show any emotion, until the very end, when the judge summed up the case as murder, rather than the manslaughter charge Jefferies’ defence team was hoping for. He almost shed a tear for himself at the verdict! Most people watching this case unfold would feel sympathy and sadness for the families involved, especially for Kim’s children. My heartfelt admiration goes out to them all. • Ann, Ohope Lisa’s oar-some What a delightful read on golden girl canoeist Lisa Carrington (WD, August 20). My husband and I are big fans…

Claire’s on the HOME STRETCH! As she strolled through New York City last week, eyes widened and jaws dropped at the size of Clair e Danes’ big baby bump! The Homeland actress, 39, announced in April that she was expecting her second child, revealing she was “deep into” her second trimester . “I’m pregnant,” she said. “I’m seriously preggo.” Judging by these shots of Claire strolling to a doctor’s appointment, she could be due to give birth any day now. While the beauty and her husband of nine years, Hugh Dancy, 43, refuse to confirm whether they’re having a boy or a girl, Claire has said they were keen to expand their brood and give their five-year-old son Cyrus a sibling. “We’ve been wanting another kid for a while –…
