We’re at that time of the year where we take some time to celebrate the dads and father figures in our lives. It’s always easy for me to choose a Father’s Day gift – a voucher so he can take his time picking out the perfect new power tool! However, if you need some inspiration, we’ve got loads of pressie ideas on page 66. This issue, we were lucky enough to chat to Brokenwood Mysteries actor and Celebrity Treasure Island competitor Te Kohe Tuhaka about his gorgeous new son Luca and what it means to him to be a dad of three. Broadcaster Roman Travers talks about the joy of being a Big Buddy and Eli Matthewson recounts how proud he is of his courageous dad Peter, who came out…

They’re two of the biggest stars on the planet, but Robbie Williams has revealed he and fellow singer Barbra Streisand, 80, failed to recognise each other when they were first introduced by mutual friends during a holiday in Tahiti. “It was like, ‘Hi, I’m John,’ and ‘Hi, I’m Rob,’ and ‘Hi, I’m Steve.’ ‘Hi Steve,’ ‘Hi, I’m Barbra’ – ‘Hello Barbra, I’m pleased to meet you.’ Nice old lady. Then I sat down next to Barbra. And it was Barbra Streisand. And I was like, ‘Oh, ah,’” says Robbie, 48, who admits Barbra didn’t catch on as easily. “People were talking about Soccer Aid and she just presumed I played football. ‘And then I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no, I’m a singer.’ ‘And she was like, ‘That’s…

HOT OFF THE PRESS Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel and her husband Vincent Kartheiser have called it quits after eight years of marriage. The pair, who met on the set of Mad Men in 2012, privately tied the knot in 2014. Both extremely private, they welcomed their first child in 2015, but kept the pregnancy and birth under wraps. It was Alexis’ Girls co-star Scott Patterson who eventually spilled the beans about her son in May 2016. “She’s really blossomed as a woman and now she’s a proud new mother, and married and happy,” he said of his long-time friend. The divorce news comes at a tumultuous time for the couple – in May, Alexis, 40, shocked fans by unexpectedly walking away from hit drama series The Handmaid’s Tale. “After…

Shy of being burned again, sources say Ricky Martin’s made the drastic decision to cut off all his relatives after his 21-year-old nephew Dennis Sanchez accused him of abuse and incest. The 50-year-old singer vehemently denied the shock claims, which Dennis has since withdrawn, but sources reveal it’s left him desperate to protect himself from any further attacks. “Ricky was always very generous with his family,” tells an insider. “He was the cash cow and made sure everyone benefited from his success.” But that’s about to stop. Sources say the Puerto Rican popstar has put up walls following the ugly accusations. “It’s awful, but now Ricky can’t trust anyone any more, not even family!”…

Celebrity news ‘We did it! Love is patient. Twenty years patient!’ It took them 20 years to finally make it to the altar. And when the time was finally right to say “I do”, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck weren’t content with just one wedding – they had two. After they became husband and wife in a drive-through Las Vegas chapel in July, Jennifer said the late-night ceremony, with just their children in attendance, was “the best possible wedding we could have had”. But it seems it wasn’t enough after all for the couple dubbed Bennifer, who went all out on a three-day extravaganza at Ben’s luxury Georgia estate last week. According to the newlyweds’ close friend, Clerks director Kevin Smith, the vows they wrote for each other were “achingly…

‘I like to deal with things in a creative way’ Stan Walker has a lot on his plate at the moment! He and wife Lou Tyson, 31, have recently welcomed a baby girl and he’s just released a new album, All In. Already a stepfather to Lou’s son Te Puuwairua from a previously relationship, Stan admits that managing two little ones is no walk in the park. “We’ve got a three-year-old and a newborn, so it’s busy!” he says of fatherhood. “The baby needs to get fed and changed, I need to look after my wife when she’s tired… but I feel like we’re doing it and this is what every parent has to deal with, no matter what you do for work, you just have to adapt.” Despite the…

Fans are saying so long Serena Williams, take a bow and thanks for the memories. At 40, the tennis powerhouse is hanging up her racquet for good as she plans to expand her family. The American ace is playing her final home Grand Slam, the US Open, this week, and will then call time on what’s been a glittering career that helped change the women’s game forever. Having achieved so much in the sport since exploding onto the tour with her older sister Venus more than 25 years ago, Serena and her husband, billionaire techie and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, are focusing on giving Olympia, who turns five this week, a sibling, as per her request. Retirement will be decidedly bittersweet for the undisputed court queen, who demolished the sport’s…

Making people laugh comes naturally for Guy Montgomery – after all, he is one of Aotearoa’s most successful comedians. But while you wouldn’t have any issues describing him as funny, practical? Not so much. So, perfect for Celebrity Treasure Island then. “I used to have a stand-up joke where I’d say I add no practical value in any given situation,” Guy tells Woman’s Day. “But I’ve reached this far in life, so I’ll hopefully be able to provide some morale!” What Guy might lack when it comes to practicality, he makes up for in biting the bullet and giving things a go – like taking on the role of parent when he met his dream girl, Cousins actress Chelsie Preston Crayford and her gorgeous daughter Olive. Guy was living in…

On the surface, their careers couldn’t sound more contrasting – while animation producer Chrissy Metge has helped bring fictional wars to life on blockbusters like The Hobbit, her naval officer husband Russell Metge has dedicated his career to bringing peace to real-life war zones like Afghanistan. Russell, 41, has also been posted to places including East Timor while Chrissy, 42, carved out a 20-year career, which has seen her help resurrect late Paul Walker for the big screen in Furious 7 and lead a team animating 30 superhero suits for Iron Man 3. “Strangely, film and the military are actually very similar,” says the London-based Kiwi. “You’re so focused on a task, give everything to that world and work so closely with your teams. You know everyone’s faults and weaknesses,…

WellnessBe well with Physical activity is important for staying fit and healthy as we get older, but as work, family and life in general take over, many of us fall out of the exercise habit. Fortunately, it’s never too late to get moving. Dr Gordon Spence, psychologist, exercise scientist and author of Get Moving, Keep Moving, shares his top tips. CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU’LL ENJOY What better way of motivating a physical pursuit than choosing something that interests or excites you? While that might be the gym, it might not be! Perhaps the gym just seems most convenient and doable for you? Is it the option that’ll help keep you moving? How much does it excite you? Is there something else that might excite you more?

What is the best eyeliner for beginners? Novices may find a liquid liner a little intimidating, so start off sketching in your wing with a pencil and work your way up.

This liner glides on easily, delivering excellent colour that doesn’t move all day (or night). How do I choose which type of eyeliner suits me?

They’re currently locked in an ugly family feud, but that didn’t stop Nicola Peltz Beckham from channelling her famous mother-in-law as she and husband Brooklyn, 23, stepped out for lunch in Beverly Hills. One online commenter accused the 27-year-old heiress of Single-White-Female-ing Posh. “She tries so hard to dress like an early 2000s Victoria, it’s kinda creepy,” they wrote. “Am I imagining things or is she morphing into Victoria,” added another. And a source says the twinning hasn’t gone unnoticed by Victoria, 48. “Given Nicola’s made such a point of making sure everyone knows she dislikes her mother-in-law, Posh thinks she’s got a funny way of showing it, given she’s basically mirroring her style,” tells the insider, who reveals if Posh wasn’t so sad about the way Nicola’s arrival into…

Royal newsBEHIND PALACE WALLS After Duchess Meghan finally debuted her inaugural podcast last week, questions are being raised over whether her reported $26 million paycheque was worth it. Sources close to the former actress and her husband Prince Harry suspect the 12-episode Archetypes – a play on their three-year-old son Archie’s name – will “end in tears” for the couple, with scrutiny flooding in from all corners of the globe. In her debut episode, focusing on ambitious women, the 41-year-old waxed lyrical with her longtime friend, tennis champion Serena Williams, about how she didn’t know “ambition” was a negative word until she began dating her royal husband. DANGEROUS MOVE Scrutiny flooded in about the 55-minute episode, with The Times podcast reviewer James Marriott assessing it as “almost entirely preposterous”. “Spotify…

Celebrity news It was a perfectly modern, family-friendly wedding full of smiles and laughter. Sarah Hyland and Wells Adam were married by the actress’ former Modern Family “uncle” Jesse Tyler Ferguson on August 20 after postponing their nuptials two times due to the pandemic. Sarah, 31, and Wells, 38, who have been together for five years and engaged for three, celebrated alongside family and friends, who included Sarah’s co-stars Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould. Jesse Tyler’s husband Justin Mikita described the day as “the most epic of weddings”.

Real life As gorgeous mum, model and Miss Universe New Zealand runner-up Larissa Allen sits down for a morning cuppa in her Papamoa Beach home, she looks naturally radiant and relaxed, seemingly with not a care in the world. But just a mere few weeks after a wild weekend on the Gold Coast promoting body positivity with Married At First Sight Australia star Jules Robinson, Larissa’s life took an unimaginable turn. The talented model, actress and film producer was devastated to be diagnosed with grade 3 metaplastic breast cancer – a rare and aggressive type of cancer – at just 31 years old. It’s a bitter blow to what has otherwise been an incredible 18 months for the Bay of Plenty beauty. Not only was she handpicked by Jules as…

Singer/songwriter-turned-reality-star Mez Tekeste doesn’t believe in monogamy. The Heartbreak Island contestant says he spent two years on a journey of self-discovery and heartache, which eventually led him to the tropical dating show (or what he calls “a holiday”). And it’s just as well he came to that stark realisation. Mez reveals he has quite a number of ladies waiting for him on the outside. “The women in my life knew about the show and they’re excited for me,” says the 29-year-old. “You’ve got to have fun.” Brought up in a religious household, Mez had a largely conventional and conservative upbringing, and says he learned over time that a life on the straight and narrow was not for him. “Monogamy is something that was put on me by my Christian parents…

What interested you about being a part of Muru? The opportunity to work with Cliff Curtis, one of Aotearoa’s finest actors, of course! I had the honour of being alongside a cast and crew of some of our brightest indigenous talents. Muru came to me in the middle of the COVID saga and I couldn’t miss the chance to film out in the fresh air of the ancient Tu¯hoe forests and be a part of this important and thrilling project. Did you know much about the story of the Tu¯hoe Raids before signing on? I was living overseas at the time of the 2007 raid, but I do remember the media coverage of the events. What I didn’t know was the ongoing history between Tu¯hoe and the Crown. When I…

HOT OFF THE PRESS Should Katy Perry be concerned?! Newly single Kim Kardashian was spotted getting flirty with Katy’s fiancé Orlando Bloom at an event in Beverly Hills on 17 August, where a delighted-looking Orly, 45, was snapped clutching The Kardashians star’s hand as the pair shared a laugh. “I forgot he’s with Katy Perry and was like ‘this could this be her next man,’” commented one fan online. But perhaps Kim, 41, was just digging for gossip on her ex Pete Davidson, who she split from in August after nine months together. Orlando and the former Saturday Night Live star spent the past few months together in Australia’s Queensland filming upcoming movie Wizards!, and there was even speculation the Lord Of The Rings star had been giving Pete, 28,…

Separate lives and separate holidays… all signs suggest Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone have called it quits after four years together. The model, who turned 25 in June, raised eyebrows when she was snapped on a beach break with her mum Lucila Sola in St Tropez on 19 August, with Leo nowhere to be seen. “Everyone joked that when Camila turned 25, going by Leo’s previous form, she’d be too old for him,” says an insider of the 47-year-old Oscar winner. “Now there’s a real concern that was a self-fulfilling prophecy because they haven’t been seen together in ages!” The source says the surest sign that something’s not right is that Leo’s back to his single ways, partying on a yacht with his friends and surrounded by mystery…

Move over Goop, there’s a new health guru in town! Kate Moss, 48, made sure all eyes were on her last week when she announced her new beauty and wellness brand Cosmoss.

Celebrity news Halle Berry has sparked rumours she’s heading down the aisle with her boyfriend of two years, Van Hunt, after a source revealed the pair are in the throes of wedding planning. The 56-year-old actress has admitted she’s found “the love of my life” in the 52-year-old musician... but it’s been a rocky road to get there! “Halle is the first to admit her relationship history is a little chequered, to say the least,” says a friend of the thrice-married actress, who has had several high-profile splits, including from baseball star David Justice, R&B singer Eric Benet and most recently, French actor Olivier Martinez. “Life with Van has been blissful and easy – she can’t quite believe things could be this good.

A stressed-out Gwyneth Paltrow was snapped heading to dinner with her mum Blythe Danner in the Hamptons, New York, on August 16, just days after police were called to the 49-year-old actress’ nearby Amagansett estate to shut down a wild party thrown by her teenage daughter Apple. Being the child of two huge stars can’t be easy, and family sources say the 18-year-old is constantly feeling the pressure, so she was no doubt keen to cut loose! “Apple invited too many friends to her mum’s house, and things got out of hand,” revealed an insider of the college student, who reportedly had around 50 friends over to the pricey pad. “They were partying like rock stars and making so much noise that multiple neighbours were furious and called the police,…

Reality bites SARAH: I SABOTAGE MYSELF She became a celebrity chef after her first turn on the show in 2014 and despite tackling this season like a pro, Sarah Todd confesses that she still struggles with “self-sabotage”. The single mum, 34, explains, “As soon as I start to do well, I overthink. I’ve been doing a lot of work on my confidence and how I talk to myself.” But Sarah has no hesitation when it comes to what she’ll do with the money if she wins. “I’ve dreamed of opening an Indian-inspired restaurant in Australia since my first time on MasterChef. I’m thankful I didn’t because, after living in India, I realised how little I knew about Indian cuisine. But I’m ready now and if I won, that’s…
