After a wild corona-coaster ride, Woman’s Day is super-excited to once again be bringing you all the top stories on your fave Kiwi celebs. And who better to kick things off than our golden girl from Glenfield, Rachel Hunter?! Stranded in India during the pandemic, the supermodel’s had an even more turbulent experience than most of us (see page 14) – and she still doesn’t know when she’ll see her kids. And then there’s award-winning actress Antonia Prebble (page 24), who’s had to call off her wedding. During these tough times, both stars have come to realise what’s really important in life. For me, it was leaving Australia to return to Aotearoa, to be closer to family and friends, and come back to one of my great loves –Woman’s Day.It’s…

She’s competing on The Bachelor Australia, however controversial intruder Kaitlyn Hoppe has a Kiwi link – her dad is Warriors legend Sean, who was known as “The Beast” when he played for the club in the ’90s. Now based on the Gold Coast, the blonde beauty, 26, tells Woman’s Day, “We lived in Epsom, in Auckland, and I still have family there. It’s one of my favourite places to visit, especially in winter. Kiwi girls are always the life of the party!” Of her Auckland-born father, Kaitlyn – still a devoted Warriors fan – says, “We talk every day. He taught me about health, fitness, teamwork and perseverance. “Dad didn’t have much growing up, so he always taught me to be grateful for what I have and always go for…

First they postponed their nuptials due to coronavirus, but now all the signs are pointing to Scarlett Johansson and Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost’s wedding being cancelled for good! The 35-year-old actress was spotted grocery shopping without her $550,000 engagement ring last week, and sources say the couple have decided to call it quits. “He’s your typical comedian – funny on stage, but miserable as hell when the show’s over,” says a source. According to our insider, one of the couple’s issues is 38-year–old Colin’s insecurity over Scarlett’s famous love-life. “He’s incredibly insecure about her past relationships,” says the source. “Scarlett feels like he’s a different person these days.”…

It wasn’t long after the Duchess of Sussex had her Queen-issued Welsh gold wedding band on her finger before rumours surfaced that Prince Harry was cutting his lifelong friendship group away – in particular the women. Gone from his social circle are the likes of his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas, his close friend Ellie Goulding and even his sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge. Sources tell Woman’s Day that the move was all at the behest of his wife, who is “more insecure than she would dare let anyone think”, and lets Harry know exactly what she thinks about his cosy friendships by throwing a well-timed wobbly every so often. But things have only got worse for Meghan, 39, since she moved to California with the former Suits star “up against a…

She’s amassed millions of fans thanks to her no-holds-barred personality, so it’s little wonder pop superstar Pink has made an extraordinarily honest confession about her marriage to Carey Hart. Last week, the So What singer, 41, dedicated an appreciation post to her lover – who she shares two children, Willow, nine, and Jameson, three, with – admitting their marriage hasn’t always been smooth sailing. In fact, the hitmaker claimed their relationship has been equal parts “awful” and “wonderful”. “He’s still my favorite sweet little dirtball. He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together,” she said of Carey, who she married in 2006. “Marriage is awful, wonderful, comfort and rage. It is boring, terrifying, and a total…

Thanks to its famous cliffhangers and ensemble cast, the Scream series has become of one of the world’s most popular slasher film franchises. And with news that a fifth instalment is headed into production this year, rumours are rife that returning stars and former couple Courteney Cox and David Arquette, who famously fell in love on the horror film’s set in 1996, could be about to do so all over again! Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, a well-placed insider reveals the actors, who called time on their 11-year marriage in 2010 before finally divorcing in 2013, have tongues wagging, with friends secretly hoping they’ll give their romance another shot as they step back into the shoes of their beloved screen characters, husband and wife, Gail and Dewey Riley. SPECIAL MEMORIES…

Sick of having to take her glasses off to play princesses with her friends, bespectacled beauty Lowri Moore took matters into her own hands. At just nine years old, she penned a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger, calling for more characters “wearing glasses like me”. “I used to think I should take off my glasses to be a princess because princesses never had glasses on,” Lowri tells Woman’s Day. “I saw so many films where the character took off their glasses to become beautiful... I thought having a character who wears them would give young people a role model to look up to.” The UK schoolgirl’s letter went viral, capturing hearts around the world. And while her Disney dream didn’t come true, Lowri, now 11, did get the attention…

SPEAK KINDLY You’ve probably heard the old adage that if you have to make a choice between being right and being kind, then choose to be kind. This is especially pertinent this week. It’ll be all too easy to get into arguments with people. At the start of the week, Mercury clashes with powerful Pluto. This is a power struggle waiting to happen. If you find yourself in an argument that seems to be going south, look for a win-win outcome. Sometimes being right is just not worth it. Midweek, Mercury goes on to clash with the planet of depression and despair, Saturn. If you find yourself feeling despondent in the middle of the week, you’re probably feeling this alignment. Your best bet to work through any Saturnian despair is…

Eating well can be overwhelming at times – what’s good for us, what’s not, how much do we need and how can we make it easier? Nutritional therapist and founder of GP Nutrition, Gabriela Peacock, makes a case for cutting out the chatter and focusing on food that makes us feel great. KEEP IT SIMPLE “If you’re eating well – and treating yourself, because life is too short not to indulge – your body is getting the nutrients and energy it needs and that makes us feel great,” Gabriela explains. “Eating a balanced diet means our bodies are getting a wide  variety of vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients and energy to keep us going. These contribute to our physical wellbeing, and to our mental wellbeing.” By eating nutritious foods that you…

Forget sculpting your face with a dozen different products and layers. This season’s hottest beauty look is about spot coverage, a luminous complexion and letting your natural beauty shine through – with a little help. Base Keep your face radiant with help from a luminous moisturiser. Lightly conceal where needed: around the nose, under the eyes, over blemishes and other areas of redness. If you feel you need more coverage than just concealer, opt for a lightweight foundation or a mineral powder. It’s about letting your skin shine through, embracing your quirks rather than masking them, for an overall healthy glow. Cheeks The careful contouring of the hollows of your cheeks is over – and we’re glad. Using a touch of warmth and colour looks more youthful and radiant, and…

Kiwi filmmaker Taika Waititi has formed an unlikely friendship with Twilight star Kristen Stewart, with the pair hanging out regularly at her place in LA before his recent return to NZ. “They’ve become great mates,” an insider confirms to Woman’s Day. “Taika and Kristen are both quirky and offbeat, and really hit it off. Now he’s in with her buddies, like Emma Roberts and Ashley Benson. Taika’s been enjoying the Hollywood party scene since he split from his wife, but he’s found his clique with Kristen’s crew.” The actress, 30, has publicly raved about the Jojo Rabbit director, 45, saying, “I’d love to work with Taika.

Her debut chat show included interviews with famous friends Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, and insiders say Drew Barrymore, 45, has rival talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres running scared! “The thing that makes any chat show are the guests, and Drew has way more famous pals in her phone than Ellen – and all of them are her close personal friends,” says a source. The launch of The Drew Barrymore Show is the last thing an embattled Ellen, 64, needs, as she continues to face a slew of bullying claims. “With all the problems facing Ellen, TV viewers are ready for someone new. Ellen must be hoping Drew gets bored with doing it, but it’s not looking likely.”…

‘I wasn’t at home, but I was so grateful to be in India’ Back in February, Rachel Hunter sold her Los Angeles house and put all of her possessions into two storage units before flying off to India. Little did she know, the whole world was about to be turned upside down. Since 2015, the Kiwi beauty has spent roughly a third of each year in India, alternating between the mountainous north and the tropical south. This time, she was in the south for the celebratory event Maha Shivaratri, a festival dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Afterwards, Rachel, who recently turned 51, decided to stay in a yoga ashram for another three weeks to do a silent retreat. Like everyone on earth, Rachel was aware of the fact COVID-19…

In a very un-Hollywood storyline, Aussie model Miranda Kerr and her ex-husband actor Orlando Bloom managed to quietly and respectfully split, share custody of their son and even buddy up with their respective new significant others. But the poster couple of Hollywood divorce is about to face its first major clash – and insiders say it might get ugly. PINING FOR HOME A source reveals that UK native Orlando – who recently welcomed baby Daisy Bloom with fiancee Katy Perry, 35 – is pining for his motherland and wants to take his little family home for a few years. “Orlando feels like the US isn’t a great place to raise a family right now,” says a source. “Between the wildfires in every direction around their Santa Barbara home, and political…

While the build is testing the limits of all the contestants, former Blockhead and resident foreman Dan Reilly’s gaunt appearance has viewers fearing for his health. “Is it me or does Dan seem very thin in the face,” an avid fan asked on Facebook. “I’m a bit worried about him,” she continued. The post evoked a passionate response from other viewers who claimed the usually hunky site manager was “working too hard” this year. “It’s because none of the Blockheads are building this year!” one fan responded. “He’s working overtime!” Dan’s worrying appearance comes amid claims that this year’s crop of Blockheads are the most inexperienced ever – just three out of 10 contestants have previously been on construction sites.…

When she watched the epic 1990 film Dances With Wolves, Sarah-Jane Dunford swooned with every other woman over Kevin Costner’s rugged good looks, but it was the majestic herd of 3500 bison thundering across the plain in the hit movie that made a lasting impression. That childhood obsession has become a real-life profession, with the workplace safety specialist, 41, and her landscaper husband Luke now the proud owners of a growing herd of American bison – or buffalo, as they are known in the US and Canada. RAISING FLUFFBALLS Sarah-Jane lovingly refers to the bison she and Luke, 40, are raising on their Hunter Valley property as her “fluffballs”, but she says it’s important to never forget how dangerous and unpredictable they can be. Tall, dark + hoovesome! “The most…

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23 Here comes the Sun, literally, into your sign. Think of this week as coming out of a dark period of introspection, back into the light. It’s not going to be easy though.

DARK CHOCOLATE Milk and white chocolate aren’t helpful here, but chocolate with at least 70 per cent cocoa helps release dopamine in your brain. Dark choccie also has plenty of magnesium and zinc, which can help stabilise moods. BANANAS The tropical fruit contains tyrosine, which is an amino acid the body uses to produce dopamine. Eating a banana at peak ripeness is said to deliver the most tyrosine. NUTS & SEEDS Nuts (almonds in particular) and seeds contain high amounts of tyrosine and can help increase dopamine in the brain. Brazil nuts also contain selenium, which is associated with improving moods.…

They may be All Blacks, but there’s a whole lot of pink in the lives of rugby stars Richie Mo’unga, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett with the arrival of two little girls – and one on the way any day now!

Ava Phillippe and her mother Reese Witherspoon are more like sisters than mother and child, but sources say the same can’t be said for the 21-year-old and her father Ryan Phillippe. Insiders close to Reese’s daughter say her relationship with her dad “is fraught” because “she hates how he hits on girls who are too close to her own age”. Over the years there have been several reports of Ryan, 46 partying with 20-somethings. “Also having an ex claim Ryan physically assaulted her a few years ago makes it all the more difficult for Ava to respect her dad,” says a source. Reese, 44, who was married to Ryan from 1999 to 2008, is “heartbroken” at the rift in her family. “She understands Ava’s feelings and supports her, but she…

She actually has a bunch of surfboards at the family’s Malibu house he can borrow.” And there are two people who are happier than ever about Kaia’s new romance. “It’s such a relief for…

• REACH OUT TO OTHERS “Only by talking to people will you find that moment of, ‘Oh, my God, yes, I feel that too!’” • LIMIT YOUR NEWS INTAKE TO TRUSTWORTHY SOURCES “Early on, I was at the computer all the time. Is there going to be a cure? What are the symptoms? Now I don’t want to feed myself fear and misinformation. I pay attention to the new protocols we have to follow, but until we have a vaccine, I don’t listen to anything else. As far as Facebook? Forget it. It just makes your head spin.” • MEDITATE “When you’re meditating, sometimes thoughts will pop up and you suddenly ask yourself, ‘Wait, did I leave the iron on?’ then you have an entire conversation in your mind about…

JENNIFER GARNER & BEN AFFLECK When the pandemic first broke out, sources say Jen banned her ex from seeing their children. “He had just gone public with Ana de Armas.

As Katie Holmes’ PDAfilled tour of New York on the arm of her new man Emilio Vitolo Jr continues, there’s a groundswell of concern among her friends over the restaurateur’s motives. More details are emerging about the relationship, with insiders claiming he was not only engaged to another woman, Rachel Emmons, at the time he started dating Katie, but also trawling celebrity dating app Raya to meet famous women. “The guy’s a total star wannabe,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “He’s been hanging around celebs for years and wanted his own piece of the action. Katie’s perfect because she was super lonely after splitting from Jamie and he’s making her feel like a princess, but one wonders how long he’ll keep that up.” At the time of writing, Katie, 41,…

Many of us work hard to keep our bodies fit and strong, but could your workouts be wearing you down? Van Marinos, founder of the over-50s fitness business Community Moves, shares how you can keep your body at its best for the long run. TECHNIQUE “If we don’t learn how to move properly and effectively, we can set ourselves up for a range of issues later in life,” says Van. “Work with an exercise professional that is experienced at dealing with someone of your age, ability, and physical condition.” For example, take the shoulder: people perform all sorts of unstable pulling and pressing movements during their workouts that could lead to rotator cuff injuries. So, by learning the correct form for any activity you do, you can reduce the risk…
