When Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom split in 2013, she vowed they’d stay close for the sake of their son Flynn, now four. What she didn’t expect was that their commitment to shared parenting would help them find their way back to love. In fact, the rekindled flames are burning so strong, they’re planning to move back in together – and Flynn couldn’t be more excited. As these pictures of the couple playing happy family show, they’re serious about getting back on track.

HOW TO GO GREY THE RIGHT WAY Valspar’s colour expert Sarah Stephenson knows exactly how to work with this shade Love layers It’s all about balancing dark shades with fresh whites and light greys. Not all greys are the same – they each carry an undertone. When choosing a grey, be sure to stay within the same undertone when adding lighter and darker shades. If you choose grey paint or furniture that has a blue undertone for example, add lighter and darker accessories with the same blue tones. Use different textures If you’re working with a monochromatic palette, textures such as chunky knits, angular ceramics and glass pieces are a great way to introduce dimension. Light it up If you’re going for a dark and dramatic look, make sure your…

AMANDA SAYS Harvey says he was only a few hours old when Janie first saw him. He was abandoned by his mum and the farmer said if she didn’t come back, Janie could have him. He knew Janie drove 14 hours to bring him home when he was only four days old. Harvey tells me he suffered from stomach bloating, but that was not the reason he passed – he got tetanus. He says his passing was quick and early one morning – it happened within 12 hours of him getting very ill and he didn’t suffer. He is so grateful to Janie for all she did. Harvey tells me Janie always gave him Weet-Bix for breakfast. He brings through a lady who tells me she’s Janie’s mum and her…

Mind the gap My granddaughter Matilda, four, was rolling a ball to her nine-month-old baby brother and getting dismayed with his lack of involvement. I told her he had to be a bit older to be able to play. Her reply? “Well, he’s taking an awfully long time to get bigger!” Susan Alvarez, Booval, Qld Biting wit A mum was walking her dog with her five-year-old son. The little dog ran up to me and as I went to pat him, the boy said to me, quite seriously: “Be careful, he might bite.” “He looks harmless,” I said. “So do I,” he replied, “but I bit my sister once!” Anne Skerman, Gold Coast, Qld Twice as nice My two-year-old, Danny, was astonished to learn he has a middle name. “Lots…

Radio star Fifi Box has sparked fresh rumours she may have a bun in the oven, after she stepped out in Melbourne last week with what appears to be a baby bump. Adding more fuel to the fire is the fact Fifi was spotted in January with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Grant Kenny, the father of almost two-year-old Trixie Belle. “I know we say ‘baby bump’ a lot, but it looks on the mark this time,” says a source. “She’s trying to hide something!” Fifi, 38, has relished every minute of motherhood, telling friends and fans it’s the “truest and most indescribable joy I have ever felt , and revealing she’d love another little one. And it seems Grant shares her sentiment. “There’s nothing more important to Grant than family,”…

The next time we see the Duchess of Cambridge, she’ll be on the steps of St Mary’s Hospital, with her husband and young Prince George by her side, introducing a new member of the royal family. And, in a nod to the fact she’s certain she’s having a girl, Kate chose a stunning magenta coat for her final official engagement before preparing to give birth. The 33-year-old, with Prince William hovering attentively, was glowing as she visited three different London events last week, friends explaining that as her due date – thought to be April 20 – approaches, she’s feeling better than ever.

But over the past few months, she and Portia, 42, reached a breakthrough and, after deciding to proceed with baby plans, have shared their news with friends and family. All on board In November, Ellen confided to a long-time friend that having children was “something we’ve gone back and forth on in the past, but now I know it’s something we both truly want”. Now, that confidante has revealed to Woman’s Day their baby plans are underway. “A few years ago, I think Portia started…

3 WAYS WITH... Blush Make it your go-to autumn brightening weapon. Here are three sneaky ways to ace it… 1 For cheeks that look naturally flushed, apply blush close to your nose and across the apples of your cheeks. 2 Be precise with placement by using a kabuki brush. The short stem, dense bristles and compact nature allow blush to be placed exactly where you need it. 3 Gone overboard? Tone down your blush by applying a light coat of foundation powder over the top.

Some say Caroline is a “bomb under the royal house” but Mary’s not having a bar of it. Princess Mary is quietly congratulating herself after another win in her commitment to live a happy life without being shackled by excessive royal rules – and she did it without upsetting palace officials. Putting her foot down The Aussie-born royal has come under fire over her friendship with a bawdy reality TV star. Some leading commentators have even gone as far as describing Mary’s relationship with Caroline Fleming, a Danish society maven and former baroness with a questionable romantic history, as a “bomb under the royal house”. The headline-grabbing blonde, who divorced James Bond creator Ian Fleming’s multimillionaire nephew Rory in 2008 “because she was bored”, has joined the cast of tacky…

As Kate’s excitement escalates ahead of the birth, Woman’s Day has learned she’s hiding a secret concern for her parents’ marriage. Multiple sources tell us the couple’s relationship is “stormy” after 34 years of marriage and they’re spending increasing amounts of time apart. “They argue a lot when they’re together,” reveals one insider, who says Carole’s decision to move into Anmer Hall with Kate wasn’t entirely motivated by wanting to help her heavily pregnant daughter. “There’s no doubt Carole wants to spend time with Kate, but it’s giving her a break from Michael as well,” adds the source. We’re told most of their tension stems from Carole’s determination to make her mark on the royal family. “She’s become pushier and more driven. She loves the celebrity status and gets caught…

It has a long list of A-list devotees, but Scientology is a faith that’s been shrouded in mystery… until now. US documentary Going Clear: Scientology And The Prison Of Belief has blown the lid off the community’s bizarre workings, with ex-members telling horror stories of abuse at the hands of the church. Headquarters in Clearwater, Florida – where A-list Scientologists John Travolta and Kirstie Alley own lavish homes and the church has bought up dozens of buildings – include a Super Power training centre, where futuristic rooms are devoted to giving members “heightened perception” and “superhuman powers”. It’s believed Tom Cruise spent weeks at a time being “audited” in the massive building.…

When Lee spotted a woman staring at her and husband Keith in a coffee shop, never in her wildest dreams did she imagine the “nutter” would be the person to skyrocket their lives into reality TV fame. “We were at Preston Markets and Keith was reading the newspaper to me,” says Lee, 53. “I saw a lady with a clipboard looking at us. I wanted to say, ‘Take a photo, it’ll last longer!” but Keith told me to ignore her. “Next thing you know, she was walking over. I was like, ‘Great, ignoring really helped!’” Turns out she was a casting agent looking for talent to star in a new reality TV show. And while happy-go-lucky Keith was all ears, Lee didn’t want a bar of it! “She asked for…

When multiple sclerosis (MS) sufferer Natalie Pacaud was told she’d face life in a wheelchair, the brave 43-year-old wouldn’t give up. In a last-ditch bid for help, the mum of two went to Russia for radical stem cell treatment. Just a few months later, the “virtual cripple” has made a recovery so miraculous, she’s cast the wheelchair aside for good and can walk and run for the first time in years. “I threw away my cane and haven’t used a wheelchair since last year!” she beams. “I’m not completely out of the woods but every day I get better, not worse.” Natalie first noticed her MS symptoms on an evening out with friends 11 years ago, when she experienced a slight flicker in her eyes followed by an acute migraine.…

Happy neighbours Gwawley Parade, you’re lovely! (We Live In The Best Street In Australia, issue 14). When I was growing up, I remember we’d always have barbecues in our cul-de-sac and sneak over to each other’s houses and generally had a great time with all our neighbours. These days, it’s a different story. We really don’t have to book council collections, because if you leave anything out the front of your house, it’s definitely going to be stolen – we’ve actually taken to calling our footpath “the Bermuda triangle . I’d love for my kids to live in a street as friendly as Gwawley Parade and grow up in the “old-fashioned” way – with a community of friends in a safe little corner of the world, where wheelie bins never…
