Hugh Jackman’s life since his divorce last year has been nothing short of a magical mystery tour. From sparring with celeb mates like Ryan Reynolds to comparing his cheese on toast to an emoji, his social-media posts have made his fans laugh, cry and even had some calling for a wellness check! But despite the highs and lows of his crazy Hollywood existence – and being linked to an array of eligible ladies, including Katie Holmes and Sutton Foster – friends say the Deadpool & Wolverine star has been focused on rebuilding his life after the heartbreaking end of his 27-year marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness, 68, a year ago. “You don’t just walk away from that and sail into the sunset,” says a longtime pal. “Hugh’s been serious about healing…

HER BIGGEST FEAR Just nine when her father, Elvis Presley, passed away of a heart attack aged 42, Lisa Marie revealed the realisation hit her that she was now “stuck” with her mum, Priscilla. Waking up on the morning of August 16, 1977, Lisa Marie knew something was off. Running to her father’s room at his Graceland estate, she was stopped from entering. Going to his bathroom, she saw Elvis on the ground. Sadly, it wasn’t the first time the youngster had seen her dad in a state of distress. “There were so many times that I found him down on the floor or unable to control his body very well. It was the barbiturates,” she noted. “They were standing over him, moving him around and trying to work on…

‘Our kids are not allowed to be actors – it’s too hard!’ Former Shortland Street star Ryan O’Kane is moving across the ditch to Sydney – albeit for a six-week film shoot. When the actor and his wife, hairstylist and actress Jazmyne van Gosliga, sit down to chat with Woman’s Day, they’re trying to figure out how to tell the kids. “Six weeks is a long time to be away from two little girls,” says Ryan, 42, adding that it’s the longest that Saachi, four, and Arden, three, will have spent without dad so far. He and Jazmyne, 30, have a village primed to take over childcare while Ryan’s filming the movie Scoby in Oz with 800 Words actresses Emma Leonard and Michelle Langstone. Luckily, owning her own…

Amber Sindoni is a dedicated music teacher and children’s book author, as well as a talent on The Voice Australia. This week, we’ll see her perform Demi Lovato’s Anyone for the coaches in her blind audition. In 2021, the now-22-yearold from Melbourne began teaching music, sharing her love for the art with her students. She also authored kids’ book Safe, Happy And Healthy, inspired by her best friend Benny, who lost his mother to cancer. “This was obviously a really tough time and we really leaned on each other as friends,” Amber shares. The book serves as a touching tribute to Benny’s mum and aims to help children navigate the complexities of grief. Amber says her being on The Voice has come as no surprise to her family. She explains,…

Amber Clyde has fond memories of learning to skateboard in her mechanic stepdad’s garage. Smiling, she reminisces, “He would use old skateboards to prop the cars up and I’d take off on them. He’d be like, ‘Hey, I need that!’” After watching the skating movie Lords Of Dogtown at 10 years old, the Aucklander was determined to teach herself to skate. She didn’t know anyone who did it, apart from a few boys at school who teased her relentlessly down at the skatepark, so she stuck to the garage and eventually stopped skating altogether. Eight years later, at just 18, Amber gave birth to her daughter Ella. It was an exciting and scary time for Amber, now 28, who had fallen pregnant to her high school sweetheart. Unfortunately, Amber suffered…

Q Two of my adult grandsons have left the family on very bad terms, while their youngest brother retains good family ties. Have the eldest two discarded us completely? Devastated MITCHELL SAYS I have a wonderful lady from your mother’s side talking to me. She knows how upset you are about the tension in your family. I’m told that of the two eldest grandsons, one of them seems to be emotionally manipulating the other by filling his head with nonsense. Deep down in their hearts, I don’t feel that they have discarded you. I keep hearing this older lady saying, “Try not to worry. Give it time. They’ll eventually soften and come around.” I’m picking up that December and February will be important months, hopefully bringing a sense of…

I love our story with Bree Tomasel this e our story with Br ee Tomasel th week. I’ve interviewed her behind the scenes of Celebrity Treasure Island on multiple occasions, but apart from her partner and family, no one knows the ZM radio star better than our journalist Sophie Neville, who helped Bree write her new book Unapologetically Me. I got sent an advance copy a few weeks back and posted that I couldn’t wait to crack into it, to which Bree replied, “OMG, I’m so nervous to hear what you think!” But she needn’t have worried. Here’s what I sent her halfway through the book: “Can’t put it down. So many good turns of phrase. Really compelling mix of hilarious and moving stories. So proud of you for being…

After weeks spent apart, rumours that Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler had split only intensified when the model was snapped dining with Liam Hemsworth on 1 October, with Austin nowhere in sight. But sources say the 23-year-old beauty’s meddling mum Cindy Crawford sees Austin, 33, as her dream son-in-law and is doing everything in her power to steer them back together – which explains why the on-off pair were pictured back together and holding hands in New York on 5 October. “Cindy’s frustrated with her daughter’s behaviour,” a family source tells us. “She thinks she’s not trying hard enough to keep Austin and is going to lose him if she keeps carrying on this way, partying and flirting with other guys.” Cindy, 58, and her hubby Rande Gerber, 62, both…

Hannah Sands was born with an incredible voice and always knew great things were possible. But to unlock that potential, “something had to give”. The Brisbane-born Voice contestant confesses, “Going sober was a big catalyst for where my life has gone. If I hadn’t, I’d probably still be working in hospitality, blowing my money. My husband Paulo was pulling me forward to be better. It was a turning point where I was going to lose this guy if I didn’t stop.” Hannah, 30, is now a “mummy TikToker” with more than 50,000 followers. She makes content about financial literacy, motherhood and funny tales from her former partying days, as well as promoting her social media agency, Socially Sands, which helps businesses grow their online presence. It was a business Hannah…

When creating a fun kid’s room, start with a loose theme to tie it together, but mix it up. We decided on checks and stripes but wanted a modern vintage feel, so we painted a striped wall that feels more retro with a mix of fat and thin stripes. Layer the stripes with artwork that plays to the theme, then add a mirror framed in stripes of a different scale. A great way to start your Resene colour palette is to base it on an artwork. We started with the classic red, white and blue from the artwork, then built it up from there. To tie in with the yellow bedding, we also painted the small bench in the lovely, warm Resene Sunbeam. HOW TO PAINT THE STRIPES Start by…

MY BEST BINGE-WATCH I loved The Walking Dead, Ozark and Breaking Bad. I’m also a fan of World War I and II documentaries. FAVOURITE MUSIC TO DANCE TO It has to be EDM or dubstep – it’s what influenced my signature style of “glitching” and I love the crazy sounds that are engineered. I feel like it’s a challenge as a dancer and choreographer to bring these sounds to life. THE LAST BOOK I LOVED The Everyday Hero Manifesto by Robin Sharma – great lessons from start to finish in this one! MY MUSIC OBSESSION David Dallas is heavy on repeat for me. Also the rapper Bas, Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Skepta and crazy EDM music. I’ve started getting into frequency music, which is super-relaxing to balance out the craziness. MY…

Isla Fisher was snapped taking an embarrassing tumble outside London celebrity hotspot Chiltern Firehouse last week and it’s left fans worried she may be burning the candle at both ends following her split from husband Sacha Baron Cohen. A friend tried to steady the former Home And Away star, 48, but the uneven cobblestones had other plans. Isla – who announced in April that she and Sacha, 52, had filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage and three children – had been partying with friends, including Sienna Miller and Lily Allen. The stumbling star, who was helped into a taxi by security, seems to be embracing the single life. In June, she was also caught looking a little worse for wear as she left another party in London. While…

CHRISTIAN CULLEN 48, FORMER ALL BLACK What’s been your proudest moment? I lasted more than a week. I didn’t want to be first out – I thought 10 days would be a good effort. Oh, and I won some charity money! What’s been your most challenging moment? I definitely got hungry some days. Rice and beans didn’t quite hit the spot, and I was missing a good coffee. Also I’m a pretty good sleeper, but I didn’t feel like I had a full night’s sleep – and with no watch or phones, I had no idea what time it was. What’s your biggest regret? No regrets! Well, maybe taking my shirt off. We all can’t look like Wairangi Koopu! Who’s your toughest competition? Seriously, all of them. I got pretty…

Irish-born chef Colin Fassnidge reveals his daughters want him to quit as a judge and co-host on MKR Australia – for one hilarious reason. “They’re at the age in school where apparently I’m cringe,” laughs Colin, 51, who has girls Lily, 14, and Maeve, 13, with wife Jane Hyland. “They don’t want to see their dad on TV. I like to remind them to look above their heads. They ask, ‘What? The roof?’ And I say, ‘Yes, this show is what gives you that!’” As Colin and his fellow MKR judge, French-born chef Manu Feildel, swap cheeky banter, it’s obvious that they’re great mates as well as colleagues. “Manu’s wife said it best on Instagram,” Colin says. “She wrote, ‘You see my husband more than I do.’ We spent…

There was a time when Stephen Peacocke found acting so stressful, it took a physical toll. “When I started work in Home And Away, I was so nervous for the first two or three months,” he confesses. “I was certain I was going to lose my job. “When I came home from work, I could taste blood in my mouth just from talking at the back of my throat, which is the first thing you do when you’re nervous – everything constricts. I was like a ball of tension until the first episodes went to air and I realised that the audience kind of liked it.” Thirteen years after becoming a Home And Away fan favourite as gang leader Darryl “Brax” Braxton, Stephen, now 42, is one of Aussie TV’s…

Matthew Hearne is not just a musical theatre star and a poet, but also a Paralympic athlete, playing for Australia’s national football team for athletes with cerebral palsy, the Pararoos. He was born with the condition, which can affect brain development, movement and muscle tone, but Matthew hasn’t let it slow him down. “When I get performance anxiety, I can start to lose control over my body,” he reveals – but that didn’t stop him from belting out the national anthem for a big soccer game last year, a moment that inspired him to finally audition for The Voice this season. And Matthew’s been in demand on the show, with coach Kate Miller-Heidke swooping in to take him from Adam Lambert in one of last week’s episodes. The 25-year-old contestant…

Baylee’s missed by her old pals AMANDA SAYS Baylee comes through in a very calm state and tells me she has passed over. She started having bad seizures only a couple of weeks before she passed at just nine years old. She is smiling at Christine and her husband, and her face is expressive.

SHERVONNE GRIERSON plays Lauren What’s your character like? Lauren can appear very mean and potentially unlikeable, but she’s ambitious, driven, smart and fierce, as well as deeply insecure, self-destructive, jealous and often judgemental. She’s quite a bit like Cassie from Euphoria. What’s your biggest online secret? Somewhere out there, there is a dorky blog I made as a 12-year-old for the game Animal Jam, where I would post regularly about the new events, items and secrets in each update. MAX CREAN plays Nikau What’s your character like? Nikau is the king of Gore College, known and loved by all, but we’re about to learn his life was built for him by his mother. What were you like in the 2000s? Intolerable. I screamed a bunch and threw food around. There…
