Innholdsfortegnelse for 1834 i Woman's Day

Idon’t know the exact age of most of my team, but I have placed youngest to oldest in my mind by the way they describe their favourite TV shows. Phil often mentions shows like Number 96 and The Sullivans so I rank him in the, let’s call it, “more mature” category. On the younger spectrum there’s Erin, who has revealed she was a little Wiggles fan! Personally, my TV peak was around A Country Practice, although with five older siblings many an afternoon was spent with The Brady Bunch. This week, we go behind the sad split of yellow and purple Wiggles Emma and Lachy (p12). And we meet a woman who grew up in the actual Brady Bunch house (p26)! We’d love to hear from you (02) 9282 8508…

Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins says it was love at first sight for her when she met purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie when they were both relatively unknown and touring with the Dorothy The Dinosaur show eight years ago. It did, however, take Lachy, 32, “a long time” to fall in love with Emma as she admitted in an interview after they announced their engagement three years ago, in which she also strangely said they “dwindled into becoming engaged”. “I know the cracks started to appear almost immediately,” reveals one friend. “I think Em wanted this marriage for such a long time that it was always going to be hard to live up to the dream. Ultimately, the fairytale just didn’t match up with the reality.” With Emma, 28, publicly airing her…

After confessing to biting and hitting her former fiance Sam Cochrane, Tara Pavlovic has fled Australia’s shores, jetting off to seek solace in Europe. But while Tara has been putting on a brave front, posing with glasses of champagne on her business class flight and checking into four-star hotels in Sweden’s Gothenburg, sources say the 28-year-old is increasingly worried after fans have called for her to be charged with assault. This comes after she shockingly claimed Sam “pushed her” to hit him after they got into a fight the night of their engagement party. One fan wrote on social media, “Domestic violence is wrong, end of. Not sure why this trashy woman thinks it’s acceptable or is making excuses.” Another insisted the police should take action and arrest her. “She…

The royal is known for her active lifestyle Ruling the waves! We’re used to seeing her looking elegant in evening gowns at glamorous royal events. But Princess Mary proved true to her laidback Aussie roots when she hit the beach with her husband Prince Frederik, 50, and children Christian, 12, Isabella, 11, and twins Josephine and Vincent, seven, at Denmark’s famous holiday destination Skagen. All eyes were on the lovely Crown Princess, 46, as she unveiled her incredible figure in her favourite electric blue one-piece swimsuit and splashed around in the water with her daughter Josephine. It’s believed Frederik’s wife keeps trim by following the ketogenic diet, a low-carb, high-fat program, favoured by celebs such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce. The diet encourages followers to limit their carbohydrate intake to…

BONDI RESCUE STAR JULIANA! Lifeguard Juliana, 29, is no stranger to TV, featuring on Bondi Rescue! You’d think being surrounded by 40 men would be the ideal place to meet a bloke, but Juliana says she’d never date one of her colleagues. “It’s too close to home! But they’re so lovely. It’s like having 40 brothers!” she laughs. NICK’S NEW NEIGHBOUR… IT’S SOPHIE!

On December 8, 1980, former Beatle John Lennon was gunned down by Mark Chapman, a 25-year-old fan and drifter who committed the murder in a depraved bid for notoriety. Now, Chapman, 63, could soon be released from Wende Correctional Facility in New York, where he is serving a 20 years-to-life sentence, after he applied for his 10th parole hearing. With Chapman’s hearing to start on August 20, his wife, Gloria Hiroko Chapman, 67, is still standing by him. Ever since Chapman was found guilty of the rock legend’s murder, Gloria has been by his side. The nurse makes an 8000km trip from Hawaii to see her husband every year.

Scared of looking like a clown? The knack to avoid overdoing your blush is to build it up in sheer layers. Apply just a little, stand back and look in the mirror, then reassess it again after you’ve applied your lipstick, to see if you need more colour. Build up a blush booty Don’t get too hung up on which colour to choose. Invest in at least a couple of colours: a soft, peachy shade and a pinky tone are good places to start, plus reasonably universal. You’ll find that, once you get the hang of it, you’ll want to add more to your kit. The difference between bronzer and blush? Bronzer is traditionally applied where the sun would naturally hit your face to warm up your complexion, as well…

The Block viewers can expect tears, tantrums and a barrage of insults between “feisty” couple Sara and Hayden this week when the cracks start to show in the newlyweds’ relationship. Things get so bad at the Gatwick Sara breaks down in tears, and when she swears at Hayden, the state of their marriage is seriously brought into question. “F**k you and the [property] agent,” snaps Sara as she demands the pair order a desk for their guest bedroom. Sara, who has already come under fire for her styling more than once in the competition, also complains that her husband is stubborn and tells the camera, “You can’t argue with stupid.” At one point she even sticks her middle finger up at Hayden as he walks off, and tells her husband…

Holed up in Bali to avoid all the mudslinging, Sam, 31, tells Woman’s Day he’s determined to turn his negative experience into something good. “I just need a moment to breathe, but I’m trying to do good from all this,” he says. In a heartfelt message on social media, he says, “I fought long and hard with the idea of shedding light on what I believe to be a very serious issue. There is never an excuse for what I’ve experienced and it was love that prevented me from mentioning it. I am so shocked to learn from private messages the men who have gone through what I have. I plan on doing all I can to help both men and women. “There is no excuse, no reason or way…

Two years on from the day she took his six children away from him, Brad Pitt has finally had his moment in court, hitting back at Angelina Jolie in his most aggressive bid yet to win back his brood. After Ange, 43, claimed Brad has paid “no meaningful child support” for their children since their September 2016 split, the actor last week labelled his ex’s claims as “unnecessary” and “a thinly veiled effort to manipulate media coverage”. As the couple faced off in court, his lawyers were quick to lodge papers asserting he “adamantly disputes the contention that he has not paid child support”. Furthermore, he also asserts he has in fact spent more than $10 million providing for his family. DIGNIFIED SILENCE The estranged couple, whose split has consistently…

The Living Room star Dr Chris Brown and the Honey Badger may have a lot more in common than they think! While Chris is happily loved up with Kendall Bora, he’s also been linked to new Bachelor babe Brittany Hockley (inset). But there’s nothing suss about their relationship. Britt used to train Dr Chris, alongside Allison Langdon and Matt Moran at Whippet from Bondi Rescue’s gym! “I trained Ally and Matt, and I also did a few ab sessions with Chris,” spills Britt. “Matt and Ally are both phenomenal humans. We’re still good friends – that was a really fun few years of my life. They’ll definitely be surprised to see me on the show, but they’ll be 100 per cent supportive!”…

Forget winning Olympic gold – Leisel Jones’ happiest moment was when she said “I do” to businessman Damon Martin in a sweet ceremony in NSW’s Southern Highlands. Standing beneath a rose-adorned wooden arch, Leisel looked radiant in an elegant two-piece wedding dress, complete with a tailored jacket and 1920s-style veil. The three-time Olympic gold medallist said her handwritten vows in front of a close-knit group of family and friends. For their big day, the couple chose Peppers Craigieburn, a historical homestead in Bowral, which boasts stunning period features and a rose garden. It comes less than a year after Damon proposed in New York. Leisel, 32, proved the ultimate laidback bride, joking that she’d matched her nail polish with her favourite drink, tequila. “Found my perfect shade of bridal nail.…

She was crowned Australia’s biggest Pink fan in a Today competition that saw her whisked off to the Staples Centre in LA last year to watch her idol perform. And last week, Manda Dyer drove three hours from her home in Jervis Bay, NSW, to Sydney, once more on a mission to catch Pink in action. But when the pop star was forced to cancel due to illness, Manda, 41, who’d already waited in line for four hours to secure her spot close to the stage, was far from angry. “She’s human and she gets sick like the rest of us,” Manda tells Woman’s Day. “She’s a mum and a wife first, and a performer second. Your health is always the most important thing.” Manda’s concern for her pop idol…

The Country Women’s Association is appealing to knitters across the nation to lend a hand and knit baby lamb jumpers to help farmers keep their stock warm. Farmers struggling to keep their stock alive in the big dry need the jumpers to save already thirsty baby lambs from freezing or starving to death because of the harsh winter conditions. “Many farmers are stressed about how long this drought has been going, and a lot of ewes are having twins for some reason so they are struggling to feed their babies,” explains Coonabarabran mum Maria Knight. Maria, who is married to a sheep farmer, launched the campaign on Facebook at the end of July, and now the CWA has joined the cause and appealed to knitters for any help they can…

With one in four Aussie women between the ages of 35 and 59 drinking excessively – and to dangerous levels – it’s time to implement effective techniques to reduce the need for a tipple. Clinical hypnotherapist Georgia Foster explains how... The inner critic According to Georgia, many people drink too much too quickly to suppress negative, hurtful feelings they have towards themselves. “Whenever your mind creates a negative statement such as, ‘You were terrible in that meeting today,’ or ‘I bet you’re going to drink too much tonight,’ remember this is a negative voice that’s not based on truth,” she says. “When you hear yourself making an unkind remark, say ‘STOP’ in your mind, breathe it out, then say an opposite statement such as, ‘It’s safe to drink alcohol slowly,’…

Kate Ritchie finds it quite easy to move forward without worrying about the opinion of others.

I’m being shown there’s another child for her in the future. She’s in a very good place now to do what feels right. She is tired of standing still, so if it means walking away to make her and countless others happy in the long run, she should do it. She’d rather be alone than lost.…

MEGHAN’S HEARTACHE AS HER EX TELLS ALL As she endures a barrage of public criticism from her own family, Meghan Markle is now faced with a shock tell-all from her ex – and it’s tearing her apart. Trevor Engelson, who was married to Meghan, 37, from 2011 until 2013, is being led by his family, who sources say are desperate for his side of the story to be made public. “Trevor’s family never liked Meghan and always had a turbulent relationship with her – so much so that at one point they were refusing to even attend their wedding,” one insider tells Woman’s Day. “They’ve never gotten over the divorce and how Meghan treated Trevor. They’ve been biting their tongues ever since her relationship with Harry went public – turning…

TEAM SAM RACHAEL GOUVIGNON Rachael saw the fallout of Tara and Sam’s fight firsthand, after the Bachelor In Paradise charity night. “Nina [Rolleston] and I were having breakfast and we saw Tara run through the hotel lobby crying and upset,” says Rachael. “Tara said she’d ‘messed up’ and bit Sam on his face. Sam was too embarrassed to speak to us.” MICHAEL TURNBULL While Michael says he doesn’t know the full story, he did state, “Physical or emotional violence in any relationship should not be tolerated,” adding, “If that was the case I would have left as well.” Though he set his sights on Tara at the start of Paradise, Michael got cold feet because he saw the way she changed after she hit the booze. “I wasn’t interested after…

Brad was spotted heading to the Superior Court of the State of California last week, as papers detailing the couple’s dispute over child support were leaked to the public.

Former Miss World Finalist Cass Wood drops a huge bombshell on launch night when she reveals she already knows Honey Badger in the outside world – but all evidence points towards the blonde setting her sights on another Bachie star, Luke McLeod!

While Cass insists the pair are “just good friends”, she says Luke – who lives just a stone’s throw away from her in Manly – is a “very nice guy”. The pair, who both enjoy surfing, were also spotted chatting at Jake Ellis’ Bachelor In Paradise charity event in June.…

SeaChange and Blue Heelers star William McInnes always knew he wanted to be a father. More than two decades ago, his dream came true when he welcomed a baby boy, Clem, into the world with his film director wife Sarah Watt. A daughter, Stella, followed. “As soon as I held a baby I thought, ‘This is what I’m about.’ It’s a wonderful moment, it’s the best thing you’ll ever do in your life,” he tells Woman’s Day. But William – who has just released his latest book, Fatherhood, based on his stories about being a dad – never imagined his experience of becoming a parent would be turned upside down when, in 2011, he lost the love of his life to cancer.

ALWAYS BEING PRESENT & GROUNDED IN YOUR BODY “Being grounded simply means our conscious awareness is in the present time,” says Simonne. “It’s a mindful practice you can do daily. Once you’re comfortable, then notice how people and animals respond to you in this mindful state.” PEN TO PAPER “Write down what you want to say to your pets in a very simple, childlike manner, otherwise we can confuse them,” Simonne adds. “We want to be telling them what we want them to do. For example, write, ‘Please go to the toilet outside on the grass,’ or ‘I love it when you sit calmly on my lap.’” PICTURE PERFECT “Get a photo of your pet and look into their eyes,” suggests Simonne. “You should feel a little heartstring being pulled…
