Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have gone public with their romance, locking lips in front of a star-studded crowd at Beyoncé’s concert in Los Angeles. The cosmetics queen, 26, and Dune actor, 27, packed on the PDA while hanging out in the VIP section along with Kylie’s sisters Kendall and Kim, as well as Adele, Justin Bieber and Zendaya. “They’ve been seeing each other for six months now,” a mutual friend shares. “He makes Kylie happy. He has his own life and understands that Kylie needs to prioritise her kids.”  The pal shares that Kylie – who is mum to Stormi, five, and Aire, one – first met Timothée at an event in Europe and the pair have since been “hanging out and getting to know each other”. We’re told,…

Since days of break-up rumours and mixed messages from the couple, Joe Jonas has officially filed for divorce from Sophie Turner after four years of marriage and two young daughters. The couple had both been spotted without their wedding rings in recent times and they sold their Miami family home in August, however, Joe did have his ring on at a Jonas Brothers gig in Texas early this month. In the divorce papers, Joe described their relationship as “irretrievably broken” amid claims that the 27-year-old Game Of Thrones star’s partying factored into the split. There is talk Joe caught Sophie “saying and/or doing something” on a security camera that was the “final straw”. “Divorce was a last resort for Joe,” says a source. “He never wanted this.” The duo have…

Sibling selfie in London It was double the trademark family grin when Hugh Jackman reunited with his sister in London recently. Posting a sweet selfie taken at Kensington Gardens, the 54-year-old Wolverine star wrote, “I’m so grateful for my sister Zoe.” It’s a rare glimpse at one of the award-winning actor’s siblings, who prefer to keep a low profile. The pair also share another sister, Sonya, and two brothers, Ralph and Ian. “Hugh’s always done his best to protect his brothers and sisters, and their wishes to stay away from the limelight, so he was over the moon that Zoe agreed to meet up and also pose for a selfie,” a close source of the family tells Woman’s Day. ABANDONED BY MUM While Hugh and Zoe are very close, they…

She was forbidden from sharing her victory with anyone outside The Traitors NZ, but Anna Reeve couldn’t keep the secret from her hubby Jay. “I was supposed to be home on a Thursday night, but the shoot went really late, so I didn’t get home until 5am on the Friday and there was clearly something in the air,” shares Anna, 37. “I was on this huge high, so I told Jay, but he was the only one I told.” The Rock radio star, 40, recalls, “She was doing super-weird stuff, bouncing on the bed. Obviously, there was a whole lot of bottled-up excitement that couldn’t be released. I was very proud of her, but I always knew she would win.” The couple’s twins, Hunter and Oscar, turned nine a couple…

After opening up about the years of terrible abuse she suffered at the hands of her father and coach Damir in her explosive first memoir, former tennis ace Jelena Dokic finally felt healed enough to plan her own beautiful future. With her new career as a coach and commentator, she rebuilt the $10 million fortune she claims her father took from her and was in a happy longterm relationship with the man she credits with saving her life. But it all came crashing down two days before Christmas 2021, when her partner of 19 years, Tin Bikic, told her over the phone, “Yes, we are done,” after they spent five months apart when he went home to Serbia and never returned to Australia. “It’s been two years now and I…

I was a teenager when Princess Diana entered my life. It was early 1981 and she was all over the papers – the blonde who’d captured the heart of the dashing Prince of Wales. The girl who’d succeeded where everyone else had failed. It was during my first job after leaving university. I was working on a small magazine aimed at foreign diplomats in London. My main duty was to attend hundreds of parties, where eye-wateringly powerful drinks would be served. ‘Her story is glamorous, grand, strange and sad…’ Well, someone had to do it and it was gratifying when this high-level diplomatic work was recognised with an invitation to a Buckingham Palace garden party. The Queen and Prince Philip would be there, with Prince Charles… and Diana! I was…

Q+A What can people expect from The Equalizer 3? A great story with more action, more violence and more of my character doing what he has to do in handing out justice because no one else can. He’s going up against the Mafia, so it’s a lot. Things get bloody! How would you say this movie differs from the previous two? This one is a much more personal story than the first two films. He’s having to deal with some demons from his past. It’s still the same guy handing out the punishment where it’s needed, but there is more going on with him besides that this time. The stakes are higher and he’s looking for salvation as well as redemption. You worked with co-star Dakota Fanning 20 years ago…

Katie Holmes has admitted it’s “heartbreaking” to see her teen daughter Suri Cruise “becoming more independent”. But the star’s facing up to her new reality that the 17-year-old – who has reportedly started applying to universities – is becoming more self-reliant. “Suri’s defi nitely ready to spread her wings and while she’s still too young to move into her own place, she regularly stays over at her close friends’ houses these days,” says a source of the high-school student, who was recently snapped loading her luggage into a waiting car in New York. According to the insider, the sleepovers provide “some solace from being at home with her mum especially when she and Katie aren’t seeing eye to eye”. But the former Dawson’s Creek actress isn’t a fan of them.…

I really do love my job, but after a long day of writing, editing, emailing and proofreading, my brain can feel like it’s been boiled, diced, sautéed and blitzed by a soon-to-be-eliminated MasterChef contestant. There is only one proven cure – reality TV. The drama of other people’s everyday lives somehow soothes this couch potato’s soul and The Traitors NZ was an entertaining lifeline in recent weeks. If you were addicted as I was, you’ll be stoked to read our interviews with deserving winners Sam Smith and Anna Reeve (page 22), who prove that having autoimmune disorders, such as his MS or her alopecia, aren’t necessarily a barrier to success – in fact, it can be an advantage! I highly recommend any fans of the show immediately go ahead and…

MATTHEW: I DIDN’T TALK TO MY MUM FOR YEARS He’s a mama’s boy through and through now, but for a time, Matthew McConaughey was estranged from his mother Kay. The actor, 53, said he “was not able to talk to her as my mum for about eight years” when he first got famous because she would share his personal stories with the media and lacked any respect for his boundaries. “I started to have my weekly Sunday call home to my mother,” Matthew recalled in late 2020. “Mother wasn’t answering the phone – afan of my fame was answering.” Another time, Matthew watched incredulously as his mum showed a tabloid news show around his childhood bedroom, so he cut off contact. Despite the betrayal, Matt and “K-Mac” were able to…

Celebrity chef Curtis Stone and Hollywood star Lindsay Price made their European holiday one to remember last week by saying “I do” for a second time on the Spanish island where they became husband and wife in 2013. The Beverly Hills, 90210 and Lipstick Jungle actress, 46, was walked to the chapel in Majorca by the couple’s sons, Hudson, 11, and Emerson, who turns nine this week. “Do you, Mommy, take you, Daddy…” Lindsay posted on Instagram. “Ten years ago, on this island, we said ‘I do’. And this little house happened to have a little chapel, so we just had to celebrate by doing it all over again. “Having 10 years of life together means new promises with deeper meaning to each other. It’s the four of us now.…

The hashtag #truecrime has been viewed more than 38.7 billion times on TikTok, and the hunger for constant updates about both current and cold criminal cases has led to the rise of the “TikTok detective”. But this phenomenon poses new and ongoing challenges for police in their investigations. Interference by these social-media sleuths became particularly apparent in January 2023, after the disappearance of 45-year-old mortgage advisor Nicola Bulley in the UK. The body of the mother-of-two was eventually discovered three weeks later, with an inquest recently finding she accidentally slipped into the water and drowned while out walking her dog. But instead of letting the police do their job, online enthusiasts fed the public’s thirst for information in the days leading up to the tragic discovery of Nicola’s body. FAKE…

Leonardo DiCaprio may be one of the top earners in Hollywood, but he doesn’t forget his friends in less fortunate places. In a huge show of generosity, the Don’t Look Up actor has been quietly funding more than 20 actor friends whose incomes have taken a hit since the Hollywood strikes began, many of them having worked with Leo, 48, as extras on his past films. “Leo’s always been loyal to his buddies,” a source tells Woman’s Day of the actor’s giving nature, which has included paying a friend’s rent for a year and helping with their children’s medical expenses. “People don’t realise that Leo also owns a huge amount of mediumto low-range rental properties in LA, so he has a lot of resources, not just money, to help folk…

Bub on board Miranda Kerr is about to be well and truly outnumbered after announcing she’s expecting her fourth son! The Aussie model, 40, made the big reveal on Snapchat, sharing a picture of her growing bump with the caption, “So excited to announce baby number four.” She added in another post, “And it’s a boy.” Miranda and her billionaire husband Evan Spiegel share three-year-old Myles and five-yearold Hart, while the model and her ex-husband Orlando Bloom have a 12-year-old son, Flynn. She says of their busy family life, “Family is my number-one priority, then work, then my company, which is like another baby.” Late last year, Miranda admitted that her Snap Inc founder husband, 33, had “been trying to convince me” to have another child. “I feel like I’m…

It seems some people in the US are still a bit confused about what Meghan and Harry actually do all day since giving up their official royal working titles. While the couple made it onto a list of “notable attendees” for the big Los Angeles vs Inter Miami soccer game at LA’s BMO Stadium, there was a glaring omission besides both their names – their job titles. Every other celebrity – from Selema Gomez and Gerard Butler, to Liam Gallagher and Ed Norton – had “actor” or “music artist” next to their name, but Harry and Meghan were the only names on the long list that didn’t feature a job description. Oops!…

When Woman’s Day chatted to a bruntette Matilda Green in Wānaka back in February, ahead of filming the new series of Celebrity Treasure Island, the reality star had just finished breastfeeding her daughter Autumn and was understandably apprehensive about leaving her little girl at home with big brother Milo. However, she had complete confidence in her husband of eight years, Art, who she met on the very first season of The Bachelor NZ in 2015, and is a “very capable, hands-on dad”. Matilda’s only complaint was that he was still undecided about having a third child. “We’ll sway him – he’ll get there,” chuckled the 32-yearold. “I thought I wanted four kids, but having two, I don’t know if I could do that… But I’d love three. I definitely want…

He’s worked in the Kiwi TV world for more than 10 years, and is well known in the industry for his roles as a writer and “audience warm-up guy” for shows such as 7 Days, The Project, Paddy Gower Has Issues and Taskmaster NZ. But comedian Sam Smith certainly wasn’t a household name until his starring role in The Traitors NZ – and he was shocked when the reality show’s producers came calling. “I thought they must want me to write some scripts or be a warm-up guy for something,” he marvels. “It’s so cool that I’m the main character in this show! But honestly, my game plan was just to survive and be alive in the world. My way of doing that was to fully commit to trusting everyone…

Instagram can be deceiving – particularly when you have more than 60,000 followers scouring through your inspirational images, wanting to vicariously live your life. But Iyia Liu has been harbouring a secret – life is not all it seems on her social media feed. Behind the perfectly curated photos is a woman trying to do it all and feeling like she is failing. The entrepreneur and star of reality TV series BossBabes has always been a juggler, so she expected to embrace motherhood for a second time with ease. However, she cannot remember being this shattered. Ever. “I feel like the second time around has been so much harder,” she tells Woman’s Day in an exclusive interview. “I know that it’s just a phase, but I feel like it is…

Last season’s contestant Hayley Love was at the centre of Farmer Wants A Wife’s biggest scandal when she announced she was expecting Will Dwyer’s baby – despite originally being matched with Will’s fellow farmer Matt Trewin! So it’s no great surprise the 28-year-old tells Woman’s Day she steers clear of further seasons of the reality show. “It’s very triggering, even the commercials, so I try not to watch the TV,” says Hayley, who is a mum to 21-month-old Daisy. A week after filming finished on season 11 of Farmer in December 2020, Hayley says Will contacted her to invite her to visit his sheep and cattle farm in Longwood, two hours north of her Melbourne home. The pair then embarked on a four-and-a-half-month romance, but just as Hayley was planning…

While many Kiwi kids have grown up playing with Barbies, few have partied with living doll Margot Robbie like rising local musician and model Jaxson Cook did. Now 19, the talented Wellingtonian met the Barbie star when she was in New Zealand filming the sci-fi film Z For Zachariah in 2014. Aged just nine, he was soon firm friends with the Aussie actress thanks to his parents – his mum Hil, an Oscar-winning makeup artist, hair stylist and prosthetics maker, was the movie’s makeup designer, while his dad Rodney was the stunt coordinator and leading man Chris Pine’s stunt double. Laughing at the memory, Hil recalls “awesome” Margot babysitting Jaxson, at one point accompanying him to a pirate-themed party, both of them dressed as swashbuckling buccaneers. “She’s a real salt-of-the-earth…

Pals who stick together AMANDA SAYS Stick tells me she knows who Intan is and thanks her for just looking and not trying to touch. Stick says there was a big fire and she somehow made her way to near Intan’s house to be safe. Stick also tells me there are three other animals living on the property – two cats and a dog – and these three tell me they’ve been taught not to touch other animals, which they don’t. Stick tells Intan she has no babies and as far as she knows, she is the only stick insect on her property, but there may be more. Stick was born on Intan’s property and has lived there all her life. She loves Intan and knows her voice. She also…
