Innholdsfortegnelse for 1736 i Woman's Day

Any parent will tell you that for all the joy it brings to our lives, raising kids can sometimes be tough. From time to time, even things like getting lunchboxes packed, school uniforms ironed and homework sorted seem near impossible with everything else we have on our plates. So I was absolutely blown away by the amazing Aussie dad featured in this week’s issue (p40). He not only carried his six-year-old son, who has cerebral palsy, along the 96km Kokoda Trail on his back, but did it to help other kids like his own little boy. To him and all dads, we wish you a very happy Father’s Day. Fiona Connolly, Editor-in-Chief…

‘Camilla leaned in when she thought no one was watching’ They’re no strangers to scandal, and now the British royal family have been rocked by arguably the biggest bombshell in palace history. On the eve of the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death on August 31, Prince Charles’s second wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, has allegedly been caught out with another man, sending the entire monarchy into chaos and throwing Charles’s already troubled marriage into deep crisis. The shock allegations against Camilla, 70, were first made by a US publication last week, with the magazine claiming the apparent indiscretion is likely to end in divorce for the future king and his wife. Camilla and the other man, who is thought to be a British television actor 12 years her junior, were…

‘They can’t bear to be under the same roof. The situation is dire’ It was an ominous sign for her marriage when Jennifer Aniston moved out of the New York apartment she shares with her husband Justin Theroux and into a nearby hotel, as reported by Woman’s Day last week. Now, in devastating news for fans, we can reveal the couple have agreed to a temporary separation as their two-year marriage threatens to fall apart once and for all. Despite them both returning to Los Angeles late last week, 48-year-old Jen and her second husband are continuing to live apart – with the actress leaning on her former Friends co-star Courteney Cox for support amid her marriage crisis. “Jen and Justin have hit rock bottom,” a close friend tells Woman’s…

‘After Johnny’s surgery they were all really hopeful that would be the end of it’ With his cheeky smile and head-turning good looks, it’s almost impossible to believe that Johnny Ruffo is battling life-threatening brain cancer. But three weeks ago, the former Home And Away star’s life changed dramatically. After heading to hospital with a migraine, Johnny was rushed into emergency surgery to remove a tumour. Post-operation, the 29-year-old took to Instagram to share a picture of his serious scar as he awaited results. Six days later, he updated his fans and loved ones with the devastating news that he had been diagnosed with brain cancer. “It was a bit of a shock and I’ve got an interesting journey ahead and a bit of a battle,” he wrote. “I’m starting…

Rumours surrounding the state of Kate Ritchie and Stuart Webb’s marriage have been doing the rounds for months. And after Kate was spotted looking visibly upset last week – minus her wedding ring – fans fear the pair’s relationship has hit another rocky patch. These exclusive pictures show a tired and fed-up Kate, 39, struggling to hold back her emotions as she shopped in Sydney. The TV-turned-radio star – who seemed intent on getting her groceries – even appeared to wipe away a tear, before leaving the shop deep in thought. Kate’s had a tough few months, with reports dating back to last year of her and Stuart’s constant bickering. Although the couple have tried to keep up appearances – last month putting on a loved-up display at Sydney airport…

Michael Klim’s favourite title is Dad to his gorgeous kids – Stella, 11, Rocco, nine, and Frankie, six. He also goes by Olympic gold medallist and founder of skincare brand, Milk & Co. Ahead of Father’s Day, Michael shares his top five grooming tips for dads, to subtly share with your man… 1 “Look after your skin! It’s the only one you’ve got and it shouldn’t take more than five minutes to do so. 2 “Keep your face hydrated and protected by using a moisturiser with an SPF 30. 3 “Use a moisturiser post-shave, instead of an alcohol-based aftershave, which can dry and irritate the skin. Keep aftershave as a spritz of fragrance to the neck and not directed on your face. 4 “Face scrubs are great for smoothing the…

MOVIE THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD We’d love anything with Ryan Reynolds in it and this comedy is no exception.

As far as Kerri-Anne and John Kennerley are concerned, their marriage has mostly been one big, wonderful love affair. As such, they always make an effort to celebrate their wedding anniversary on August 18 in style. Last year, however, this was not possible, and for a while it looked as though their party was over. John was in hospital, his future in grave doubt, following a fall that tragically left him an incomplete quadriplegic. For Kerri-Anne, that time is a blur of hospital wards, doctors, pain, heartache and helplessness – something she will never forget no matter how much she may want to. So last week, 33 years after their glamorous 1984 wedding at the Sydney Opera House, she made sure the day would once again be a happy event,…

MASTERCHEF’S GEORGE IN FOOTY ASSAULT MasterChef judge George Calombaris pleaded guilty to assaulting a 19-year-old man earlier this month when he was embroiled in a row after the A-League grand final in Sydney in May. Video footage showed Melbourne Victory fan George, 38, shoving a Sydney FC supporter in the chest after he allegedly insulted the chef’s family. After the incident, a regretful George said he wasn’t proud of what had happened, but explained he was “offended” by the spectator’s “abusive and derogatory comments” about his family. “I am really disappointed with what occurred last night,” he said. “I was genuinely shocked when post-match football banter turned into personal abuse about my family. I regret the way in which I reacted. “I am disappointed that I let it get to…

GELATINE FACE MASK Turn to your pantry for this one – it’s a peel-off mask to remove whiteheads and blackheads. Mix 1 tbsp gelatine powder with 2 tbsp hot milk until it becomes a paste.

Q How important is portion control? Hugely important. Modern processed foods are jammed with energy, which means most of the time we are taking in more calories than we need. The size of a standard meal has also increased. A quick way to counteract that is just eat half as much. Split meals instead of eating them all yourself. Eat off bread plates instead of dinner plates. Any way of reducing the amount you eat will help. Q If I could cut one thing out of my diet to improve my health, what would it be? You can answer this one. If you take a moment to run through your regular diet, I’m sure you can think of one thing, maybe two! It will most likely be that thing you…

‘They’ve become particularly close over the past few years’ She’s one of our most loved TV stars, but when the cameras stop rolling Tracy Grimshaw shuns the limelight and fiercely guards her privacy, rarely speaking about her personal life except to recently confirm she’s single and still looking for love. So you can imagine the surprise when she arrived at Hamilton Island last week with a dashing gentleman date, who she shared a lot of laughs with during a fun-filled two-night stay at one of the best resorts on the island. The man in question is former champion dressage rider Roger Fitzhardinge, who has been one of Tracy’s closest friends for the past decade. They regularly spend time together, including attending the Grand Prix Freestyle in Sydney in April. THEY’RE…

‘Patti talks to Matt every day... they have that closeness back’ After a troubled past and a very public downfall, Matthew Newton has finally found his happily ever after – secretly tying the knot with his US fiancee Catherine Schneiderman ahead of the birth of their first child later this year. Son of much-loved television personalities Bert and Patti Newton, 40-year-old Matthew is believed to have exchanged vows with 24-year-old Catherine in a low-key civil ceremony at New York City Hall, which neither of their families attended. Catherine was first spotted wearing a diamond engagement ring last September – and last week both she and Matthew were seen wearing matching wedding bands, seemingly confirming their happy news. Despite missing Matthew’s big day, Patti, 72, and Bert, 79, are said to…

‘It was great to finally be working together, and we instantly gelled’ Sex scandals, depression, financial nightmares, fraud… Neighbours stars Ian Smith and Anne Charleston have lived through it all and have still maintained their sense of humour. True to form, there were laughs galore, warm hugs and outrageous stories flying when the actors, who became household names playing Harold and Madge Bishop, got together last week. “We first met on the set of Bellbird in 1971 and – sharing many mutual friends – we often ran into one another at dinner parties,” says jovial Ian, 79, who is nothing like his stuffy TV alter ego Harold. “We sort of stalked each other’s careers for years,” says Anne, 74. “We did the rounds of the great Crawford shows like Homicide,…
