Our cover girl Toni Street truly is the nicest woman in the business – and she’s bloody funny too. The radio star’s banter with Coast colleagues Sam Wallace and Jason Reeves was one of the few things that kept me sane on the long commutes to work after the Auckland Harbour Bridge debacle last week, so it was an absolute joy to chat to Toni and her supportive hubby Matt France about the sacrifices they’ve made to make their marriage work. Speaking of marriage, also in the mag this week are newlyweds Black Caps bowler Matt Henry and Newshub reporter Holly Carran, whose stunning Central Otago wedding makes me want to jump on a plane to the South Island ASAP. We really do live in one of the most beautiful…

Since they arrived in California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex haven’t been shy about making a quick public appearance here and there – all in the name of some good publicity. But after the couple turned up seemingly unannounced at a Los Angeles school on August 21 to hand out supplies – with a freelance photographer in tow, despite the private nature of the visit – 39-year-old Meghan has remained at home, opting for video conferences over public outings. IN HIDING The duchess has limited her appearances to artfully posed photographs while dressed in loose linens or video appearances from the shoulders up, including a recent Zoom chat, in which some fans pointed out the usually thin ex-TV star looked markedly fuller in the face. This, combined with pictures…

They enjoyed a life fit for a royal after their strikingly similar looks to Harry and Meghan garnered them party invites, trips around the world and cheques that would make even the Queen clutch her pearls. However, since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex abandoned the UK for the US, these Britain-based doubles have found their once lucrative careers have gone down the drain. Harry Poulson, 24, who once flew to Germany to star as the prince, has had to return to his nine-to-fi ve job, after his acting work “tailed off completely” following Harry’s move. Similarly, and after dying his hair and beard red, Freddie Marlow, a 26-year-old call centre agent, must now suffer the regrowth after work dried up since Harry and Meghan relocated to Hollywood. “I don’t…

There are a few things Mai FM presenter K’Lee, blogger Kylie Haack and salon queen Ashley Allen have in common. Not only are they devoted partners and mums, but the trio have also all had their own cervical cancer scares while they were busy having babies. Speaking to Woman’s Day, they explain how this deadly disease can arise at any age. KYLIE HAACK, 35, BLOGGER Kylie received the shock of her life when she was pulled into a doctor’s office and told she had the early signs of cervical cancer. She was just 31 and her little girl Casey was only a year old. “Being told at my age I might have cancer was an emotional journey,” says Kylie, who blogged openly about her traumatic experience. “Thankfully it was quite…

MITCHELL SAYS Your dad is stepping forward with his grandson, your son Nik, who has not been in Spirit for very long. Nik says that before he passed, his mind was very clouded. He tells me he should never have left the hospital, but he did and sadly ended up taking his own life. I feel the month of September is important. Nik says he’s sorry for the way he passed. He doesn’t want you to feel responsible, or for anyone to carry the burden of guilt – especially his sister, who he says found him and tried to save him. Nik tells me he’s safe and well upstairs, still enjoying the adrenaline rush, doing spins in his car and burning rubber. Nik says he’ll visit you in a dream…

October 20 marks World Osteoporosis Day, and while many things in our lives have been put on hold this year, your health shouldn’t be one of them. If you have a serious and ongoing condition, like osteoporosis, even a small fall could cause a bone break and could mean some loss of independence. Health authorities recommend keeping in contact with your GP regarding your bone health, maintaining the frequency of your medical appointments, staying on top of your medication, and of course, staying safe overall.…

Being “sensitive” these days just seems to be an issue of expectation: that we treat each other with care, that we acknowledge times have changed and it’s OK to admit what was deemed acceptable once isn’t now and that how we treat each other has a profound effect on how we feel. So often the so-called feminine traits are seen as a weakness. Next time someone calls you sensitive to put you down – or to build themselves up – what do they really mean? Check this list to feel better about yourself. 1 YOU HAVE ALL THE FEELINGS This makes you extremely empathetic and someone people want on their team, whether it’s #squadgoals or at work. 2 YOU’RE A GREAT LEADER The nature of workplaces is changing to embrace…

MY TV BINGE ADDICTION I finished Teenage Bounty Hunters in two nights. It’s smart and sarcastic, and Sterling and April are the cutest couple I’ve ever seen in a Netflix series. MY ALL-TIME FAVE MOVIE Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle has been my power ballad of a movie since I was in primary school. I wanted to be Dylan, aka Drew Barrymore, so bad!

Royal sleuths have deduced Princess Eugenie is pregnant with twins, after the 30-year-old dropped some exciting clues last week. Eugenie – daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York – was spotted sporting a telltale bump last week, with an insider telling Woman’s Day, “Either she’s quite far along all of a sudden, or there might be two babies on the way!” Coincidentally, Sydney’s Featherdale Wildlife Park announced it had named not one but two koalas in honour  of Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 34. A thrilled Eugenie wrote on Instagram that she was “honoured” by the news. “Eugenie would love the subterfuge about being pregnant, and would enjoy leaving hints like that for fans if she was having twins,” says a source. “They have  been planning to…

With one simple nickname, it was clear Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston wanted the world to know they were back in love again. As several A-listers looked on during a Fast Times At Ridgemont High online table read last week, a blushing Brad Pitt addressed his former wife directly, cheekily saying, “Hey Aniston, how you doin’?” while wearing his trademark handsome grin. FLIRTY CHATTER Not to be outdone, Jen fondly replied, “Hey Pitt, good honey, how are you?” – much to the delight of their old friends Julia Roberts, Sean Penn, Matthew McConaughey and Morgan Freeman, who couldn’t hide their delight at witnessing the intimate exchange. An insider close to the special production tells Woman’s Day, “It was about as off the cuff and flirty as it could get. Brad…

JOAQUIN PHOENIX The Joker star, 45 – along with his siblings, including the late actor River Phoenix – grew up in the Children of God cult, but was yanked out by his parents when the sect was accused of racketeering, kidnapping and child sex abuse. MICHELLE PFEIFFER When the 62-year-old first moved to Hollywood, she lived with a “controlling couple” who followed breatharianism – a movement that claims food and water aren’t needed to live. When Michelle met her first husband Peter Horton – who had been in a movie about cults – she realised she was in a sect and promptly left. GLENN CLOSE At the behest of her dad, Glenn was a member of conservative anti-war group Moral Re-Armament from the age of seven until 22. She even…

SURI’S NOT IMPRESSED! Like any 14-year-old, Suri Cruise is horrified and “completely in shock” at her mum Katie Holmes’ public kissing and canoodling with her new man and friends say she’s worried she’ll get her heart broken. There’s no doubt Katie, 41, is in love with her new Italian boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr, 33, and wants the whole world to know about it, but friends are worried about the effect it’s having on daughter Suri. “Suri’s totally red-faced about her mum carrying on like a teenager in public,” says a friend. “It’s never really happened before so this is a first for her and, like any kid her age, she’s not coping.” What’s worse, Suri’s joining a growing number of friends who are really worried about Katie’s taste in men…

HARRY DEBUTS A HOT NEW LOOK… Prince Harry showed off a dramatically different look on a charity video chat recently. Harry, whose locks have been cut to their shortest since his early days in the army, is battling the male-pattern baldness that his brother Prince William has also fallen victim to – prompting speculation he may have finally agreed to get hair plugs. “Harry kept his hair longer and somewhat unruly in a bid to mask the bald spot at the top of his head,” says a source. “But rumour has it Meghan was badgering him to get it done. In Hollywood it’s the norm, and she wanted him to look the part. I can’t see him getting such a short haircut without them – he’s pretty self-conscious about that…

When Woman’s Day catches up with Toni Street and her husband Matt France at their bustling home on Auckland’s North Shore, the beloved broadcaster is quick to apologise for the fact they’re still in their tracksuits from a morning workout. “The first lockdown, we both ate like pigs and drank too much,” she explains, laughing. “We decided we couldn’t do that the second time round, so we’ve been going hard for a six-week F45 challenge so when we get to Queenstown in October, we can deserve all the alcohol. It’s quite a punish!” The week-long holiday – with their three children, Juliette, seven, Mackenzie, five, and Lachie, two, plus Toni’s parents and her sister’s family – will be one last relaxing blowout before life gets a whole lot busier. From…

After the pandemic sparked border restrictions around the world, Margot Robbie left the home she shares in Los Angeles with her husband Tom Ackerley and moved to his native England. And while she’s back in Blighty, it seems Margot, 30, has struck up a close friendship with one of the UK’s most eligible young bachelors. British gossip site Popb*tch reported that the Harley Quinn star was spotted sharing a drink with Irish actor Paul Mescal, 24, at The Crooked Billet pub near his London home. “Margot’s the type of girl who has a lot of guy friends, and I can definitely see her and Paul getting on,” says an insider. “They’re both really nice, low-key people with excellent senses of humour – and they both love a pint.” The source…

He may have swapped his boardies for a Giorgio Armani suit but Bondi Rescue star Bruce “Hoppo” Hopkins still managed to make a splash at his wedding to Karen Griffin, arriving at the ceremony via speedboat. Karen certainly made an entrance too, walked down the aisle by her dad Peter and her chocolate labrador Kobi. Hoppo and Karen said “I do” in a waterside ceremony at Pasadena on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in front of their 26 guests, including Hoppo’s daughters Lauren, 22, and Georgia, 18. Kobi, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year, was guest of honour and ring bearer for the couple. “We decided on September 18 as our wedding day because it’s Kobi’s birthday... we wanted to honour him no matter if he was here with…

I’m not going to sugar coat it, this is a week when you need to live consciously, otherwise you could find yourself in an emotional entanglement. For a start, it’s a full moon week. There’s nothing inherently negative about them though, it’s quite the contrary – full moon weeks can be amazing because all our emotions come up. We get to truly feel our feelings and process them. Full moons are a gift if you’re upset about something but you know you need to move on. The best thing you can possibly do is forgive and let it go. Forgiving doesn’t mean what happened was OK. It just means you’re not willing to give it any more energy. I do monthly free full moon events designed specifically to help people…

MIZUNA A mustard green from Japan, where it is traditionally used in soups and other cooked main dishes. It’s often found in a mesclun mix, but its mild, aromatic, jagged green leaves can also stand alone. Refrigerate in a plastic bag, unwashed, for up to five days. WATERCRESS Sprigs of watercress give salads and sandwiches a fresh, peppery tang. Lovely dressed with walnut or hazelnut oil and lemon juice, with a sprinkling of nuts over the top. Both summer and winter varieties are available. CURLY ENDIVE Also known as frisee, curly endive belongs to the chicory family and has its characteristic bitterness played against grassy freshness.

Congrats on The Sounds. We’re obsessed already! What was the best thing about the shoot? Great to hear! It’s hard to pin down a best thing, but working with such a great cast and crew would probably top the list. We shot this show very quickly and without such an excellent group of people, I doubt we could’ve pulled it off. Were there any difficult moments off camera? It was definitely tricky coordinating all of the scenes on the water. We had about five boats out there at any one time – safety boats, a house boat for crew, a makeshift green room, a camera boat and the boat we shot with, The Maggie. We had to work against wind, currents and the unpredictability of the weather. I lost count…

CELEBS TAKE TO THE SEAS As the weather slowly begins to warm up, it won’t be long before we’re all out enjoying the sun, sand and sea breeze, and if you’re anything like these A-listers, you’ll be reeling in some awesome catches very soon! While they’re all stars in their own right, they certainly have some serious skills when it comes to casting a line. Who would have thought Hugh was also “The Greatest Fisherman”, and while we’re impressed by Paris’ haul, nothing comes close to Burlesque actress Julianne’s monster catch!…
