Innholdsfortegnelse for 1911 i Woman's Day

In this job we often deal with stories of heartache and pain but we are also lucky enough to tell a glorious love story. I’m beyond sad to bring you both at the same time this week – the passing of Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s gorgeous husband John and one of the greatest love stories I’ve had the privilege of witnessing. John was a true gentlemen. He was warm, thoughtful and great company. He was the kind of man to be first to welcome anyone into a room and all the while smiling with his eyes. But above all else he was utterly devoted to the love of his life, his soulmate Kerri-Anne, who loved him in equal measures. Many people can say they have experienced true love in their lifetime. Only…

Looking stunning in a hot pink ballgown, Julia Roberts was determined to shine as she presented the Oscar for Best Film. And the 51-year-old star didn’t disappoint, with insiders backstage saying men were queuing up to chat with her. “Paul Rudd, who she’s known forever, made a beeline for her,” says one Oscars spy. “They were giggling like school kids and whispering to each other. It wouldn’t have been so bad had her husband been by her side –but Danny [Moder] was nowhere to be seen.” Cameraman Danny’s no-show continues to fuel talk that the embattled couple – who have three children together – are on the brink of a break-up. Julia spent Valentine’s Day alone after the couple reportedly had a make-or-break holiday to Alaska and Italy recently. “Julia…

He has a reputation for being a ladies’ man, but it seems Jude Law has finally found The One. The 46-year-old actor is set to marry his 32-year-old girlfriend of four years, business psychologist Phillipa Coan. “They’re trying to keep the marriage  under wraps as much as possible, but with a plethora of showbiz friends said to be on the invite list, it’s going to be quite an occasion,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. The father-of-five – who was married to actress Sadie Frost for six years and has had a string of high-profile romances, including Sienna Miller – plans to ask eldest son Rafferty, 22, to be his best man. The wedding will be held in France in May. “Jude’s parents live in France and he spends a lot…

With so much drama erupting around her, it would be no surprise if a shrewd woman like the Duchess of Sussex had a backup plan should her new life as a princess go up in smoke. And sources tell Woman’s Day that’s exactly what mum-to-be Meghan was secretly plotting when she travelled to New York City under the guise of hosting an intimate baby shower last month. “Meghan’s been quietly setting up her other life for the last couple of months, and thanks to her close inner circle, she’s got an entire back-up plan arranged for when and if her and Harry call it quits and her life as a royal falls apart,” an insider spills. ON THE HUNT Woman’s Day understands her “little party” and dinner with friends was…

Married At First Sight brides Martha and Ines became firm friends when they met at the very first dinner party, but the pair are now getting a little too close for Martha’s husband Michael’s comfort. The brunette duo enjoyed a night out at a Melbourne nightclub on February 25, which culminated in the pair locking lips. “Ines seemed to be instigating the kiss, but it’s not like Martha refused!” dishes one onlooker. “They didn’t care who saw them and were acting very flirty the entire night." Indeed, in town for her upcoming 29th birthday, Ines barely left Martha’s side as they enjoyed the free-flowing bottle service. The Brisbane-based legal assistant also debuted a shock new look, which included a fresh ’do, blue contact lenses and very plumped-up lips. With shock…

Ines came across as the no-holds-barred villain during her time on MAFS, but a friend claims the brutally honest bride wasn’t coping at all. In fact, the experience was so intense it bought back her PTSD. Not being able to leave her apartment or hotel room for hours on end reportedly triggered painful memories of the 28-year-old’s traumatic childhood, where she was kept prisoner in refugee tents after she and her family fled Bosnia. “She was suffering from chronic anxiety and was under so much stress she could barely move,” the friend tells. “She would call me crying.” The source suggests Ines was crumbling from the pressures associated with her failed marriage to Bronson, hiding her affair with Sam and the intense demands of filming. As a result, her anxiety…

His battle with depression has been played out for the world to see, and while Justin Bieber has taken a positive approach to tackling his issues, he was snapped out and about looking worse for wear after the decision to postpone his second wedding to Hailey Baldwin. The Sorry singer has admitted he’s been struggling with mental health issues for years – it was the reason he cancelled the final 14 shows of his Purpose World Tour in 2017 – but family and friends are concerned he may have taken a step backwards. “I got really depressed on tour,” Justin, 24, says. “I’m still processing so much stuff I haven’t talked about. I was lonely. I needed some time.” The singer is believed to have been undergoing therapy with mental…

An early Xmas gift What a wonderful idea giving us more puzzles with prizes! Being a puzzle addict and lover of your magazine, I feel like it’s Christmas all over again. E Ausserlechner , West Beach, SA Cheers to you, Jesse I left my son Jesse with my sister in the US when he was 20.

We all know water intake is great for our health but did you know it can boost the effectiveness of your beauty routine, too? We chatted to Ultraceuticals global education ambassador Tracey Beeby to break down the new trend. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? “Water-based skincare is simply a formulation that uses water as the main component,” says Tracey. These products contain little oil, but are rich in hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, meaning you’ll get the benefits from active ingredients and a bonus punch of moisture. HOW DOES IT WORK? Tracey says the water in the product is used as a vessel to better distribute the active ingredients. So a water-based formula doesn’t mean the product penetrates deeper into the layers of our skin. “It’s there to…

There’s a lot of buzz around the nightshade family with claims they make conditions like arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune diseases worse. But before you swear off spuds, let’s examine the evidence... Behind the claims The controversy centres around the alkaloid solanine. Solanine is toxic in high concentrations, and is one of the glykoalkaloids that make deadly nightshade poisonious. It’s thought a build-up of this can have pro-inflammatory properties, triggering arthritic pain. While potatoes can contain trace amounts, no research supports this. Good & bad Many nightshades, however, don’t produce solanine and contain vital minerals like fibre, iron, potassium and vitamins B1, B6 and C. You may have heard that nightshades are problematic because of lectins, which are proteins that bind carbohydrates together. Lectins have been shown to increase…

Secret City: Under The Eagle MONDAY, 8.30PM, FOXTEL FOX SHOWCASE Season two of this popular political drama picks up with Harriet Dunkley (Anna Torv), not long out of prison and embroiled in a military and political cover-up that has Catriona Bailey’s (Jacki Weaver) fingerprints all over it. Harriet’s search for the truth leads her back into Canberra’s corridors of power, this time working for maverick Independent MP Karen Koutoufides, played by Wentworth’s Danielle Cormack.

It was just a matter of time before we heard the pitter-patter of tiny feet in the Cyrus-Hemsworth household and now tamed songstress Miley Cyrus appears to have confirmed she’s expecting her first child. “They call me MOTHER,” she captioned a picture of herself in a sparkly dress at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. The suggestive Instagram post did nothing to stop rumours the 26-year-old – who married Aussie Liam Hemsworth, 29, in December – is pregnant. “If she is, the dress she chose was perfect to keep a little of the mystery going. Everyone’s eyes were on the plunging neckline – no one noticed if she had a bit of a tummy!”…

Tom Cruise is revisiting his old Top Gun stomping ground in San Diego to film a sequel to the historic film – but the actor isn’t quite the beloved icon he once was in the Californian seaside city. In fact, the 56-year-old star felt the wrath of local sailors after allegedly acting like an utter diva while borrowing one of the US fleet’s active ships for Top Gun: Maverick. “Tom Cruise was really on our ship telling the crew not to talk to or look at him,” read one incredulous post on an online forum. Others were more scathing, describing the A-lister as “disgusting” and “arrogant”. However, one senior sailor said perhaps instructions from their own superiors were “misinterpreted”,  adding the star was “nothing but gracious and professional”. Those close…

It’s hard to think of Kerri-Anne Kennerley without seeing her brilliant smile and the man who was always by her side – her partner in love and life, her mentor, her biggest fan and perhaps even more importantly, her soulmate. She lost John, 78, last week, and that trademark smile was replaced with shock and tears. Her grief was overwhelming. Friends from around the world and millions of fans around Australia were filled with profound sadness over John’s death. His catastrophic fall three years ago left him a quadriplegic, trapped in a wheelchair. However, the tragedy only made their incredible bond stronger. Their love story was like no other – they completed each other in a way that was both rare and beautiful. PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE Kerri-Anne, 65, was…

While Martha and Ines are still as thick as thieves, Woman’s Day hears they are no longer BFFs with Jessika. While the three were always seen gossiping with one another at the dinner parties, since filming wrapped we’re told Martha and Ines barely have anything to do with Jess, 26, due to her spotlight-seeking ways. “Ines and Martha have distanced themselves from Jess because they know she’s just trouble,” a mutual friend tells Woman’s Day. “It became apparent to them that she was only on the show for fame. They don’t really feel like they can trust her so they’re careful not to disclose any personal information to her.”…

Their relationship has been up and down since day one, but for Heidi and Mike, “couple swapping” was never going to be an option. Opening up to Woman’s Day, 38-year-old Heidi reveals she was left feeling sick by the actions of this season’s biggest love rats. “There’s no way I would ever think I could resort to couple swapping,” says the Townsville based radio announcer. “You put so much time and effort into asking for what you want… how dare someone else come in and be like, ‘I’ll have what she’s having.’ “It made me so sad and left me feeling yucky in my stomach. I had to go home and have a shower and a cry. It didn’t sit well with me at all”.…

Just as Katie Holmes had finally allowed herself, at long last, to take the plunge and let the entire world know she was officially dating Jamie Foxx, the unlucky-in-love actress has found herself alone once again. After five years of being romantically involved – both in secret and publicly – Katie, 40, was last week blindsided by the news her lover was “telling anyone within earshot” he’s single, before attending an exclusive party with a much-younger co-star, Jessica Szohr, who he recently cast in his directorial debut All-Star Weekend. Making matters worse, Katie’s long-term boyfriend announced their apparent split on stage at an Oscars event in front of hundreds of Hollywood’s elite, while Katie was none the wiser, filming horror The Boy 2 in Canada. According to reports, Jamie, 51…

When Lauren and Josh Hall welcomed their baby boy Leo into the world two years ago, they thought all their dreams had come true. As they cherished their first cuddle on June 11, 2017, the Melbourne couple’s bundle of joy seemed a happy, healthy 4.3kg of perfection. But as Lauren and Josh looked down, eagerly awaiting the moment when Leo would open his eyes and take his first look at his mummy and daddy, their smiles began to fade. Minutes turned to hours, and that precious moment never came. “When I asked why he hadn’t opened his eyes yet, the doctors told me he was still very swollen and that it would take time,” Lauren tells Woman’s Day, adding that Leo was a large baby and needed forceps to be…

Despite a long journey, Canada’s postcard-perfect town of Banff is worth the hike – and it’s even sweeter when it’s the starting point for the Rocky Mountaineer, one of the world’s most scenic train journeys. It’s my first venture into the Canadian Rockies and there’s no better way to do it than by train. Before setting off on my adventure, I take the time to check out beautiful Banff. A resort town surrounded by snow-capped trees and mountains, it’s like walking into a winter wonderland. I stroll around its cute shops and stop at Bow Falls, an incredible waterfall, before heading on to a magical chairlift journey above the clouds, peeking at the stunning Mount Norquay. It lends itself to just one of a series of “wow” moments. After sadly…

BEA MY GODMOTHER! CHRISSY TEIGEN The model and author managed to get the attention of Princess Beatrice after declaring her love of the moniker “Bea”. The young royal even offered to be Chrissy’s goddaughter! One Elle of a tumble!

Friends are convinced Irina Shayk has all but walked out on her romance with Bradley Cooper, following his electrifying chemistry with co-star Lady Gaga during their romantic Oscars performance last week. This comes as Bradley and Gaga’s A Star Is Born co-star compared them to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who famously fell in love while working side-by-side on Mr & Mrs Smith – despite Brad being married to Jennifer Aniston at the time. “I’m just sayin’ – it happened with Brad and Angelina. I don’t see how you do not fall in love with your co-star,” says comedian Luenell, 59. Later that night, Bradley’s 33-year-old Russian model girlfriend of four years was  relegated to the shadows at the Vanity Fair afterparty as Bradley, 44, and Gaga, 32, snuggled up…

It’s the best example of life imitating art with acting sweethearts Rami Malek and Lucy Boynton – who played Freddie Mercury and his fiancee Mary Austin in Bohemian Rhapsody – planning to marry in real life. According to our sources, Rami’s cast and crew were “taking bets on whether he’d propose during his Oscar acceptance speech” when he won the Best Actor gong. While he didn’t bend down on one knee, the 37-year-old paid a sweet tribute to his 25-year-old girlfriend saying: “Lucy Boynton. You’re the heart of this film. You are beyond immensely talented. You have captured my heart.” Friends close to Rami tell Woman’s Day a proposal is “very much happening soon”. “He’s head over heels for Lucy. He’ll do something spectacular when he proposes,” an insider predicts.…

Sydney-based socialite Romel and his My Kitchen Rules partner Ibby have made no secret of the fact that they prefer the finer things in life. Romel even hired an  interior designer to style their lavish instant restaurant! However, in photos exclusively obtained by Woman’s Day, it appears the usually sophisticated amateur cook is hiding a secret wild life from his fellow MKR contestants. Snapped on a night out in Sydney, the 42-year-old was seen by clubgoers letting loose at the Stonewall Hotel and Palms nightclub. “If his behaviour is anything to go by, he seemed to have drunk quite a bit,” reveals an onlooker. As the photos show, at one point Romel undid his pants and flashed his backside around the bathroom. “We thought he was going to get kicked…

Since her husband’s tragic fall, Kerri-Anne has opened her heart to help and support others doing it tough. Now she’s suffering the most agonising loss of all – the death of her beloved John. Over the past three years she’s shared how the power of love helped bring them even closer... ‘Since John’s accident, the whole thing was a gigantic learning curve. We learned so many new skills – none that you really want – but we just kept going. When John was in intensive care we both cried and I reminded him more than 30 years ago I said I would follow him to Antarctica to be with him – this was our Antarctica. I was so pleased when he came home – there’s no place like home. We…

Meghan knows she’ll need the world’s top legal team behind her to get the best divorce deal should it end that way – and who better to ask than her best friend, George Clooney’s wife Amal? “Amal has already made it clear that if Meghan needs legal advice, she can go to her anytime,” spills a source. And while Amal, 41, isn’t a divorce attorney, she does specialise in international law – and has promised to assemble the best team for Meghan, in which she’ll personally serve as special counsel. “It would become a very complicated trans-Atlantic situation, especially if Meghan wanted to leave the United Kingdom with her child and relocate back to America. Amal’s skills would come in very handy,” says the source. “While divorce is the last…

When singer Jason Owen decided to propose to his girlfriend of three years, Rebecca Harvey, live on Studio 10, he wanted to show her the extent of his love. He won hearts all around Australia for his grand gesture, too. “We couldn’t believe the response,” beams a delighted Jason, who first shot to fame on The X Factor seven years ago when he was runner-up to Samantha Jade. “After I proposed, hundreds of calls and emails of congratulations came in from everywhere! “I guess it must have struck a real chord with people, and if it made them as happy as it made me that’s great,” chuckles Jason, 25. “I wanted to do something out of the blue, something really special to show Becy how much I love her. That’s…

Amazing Sophie Delezio! As Sophie Delezio attended her Year 12 formal last year, it was a milestone many never thought she’d come to enjoy. “It was the best time of my life so far!” the 17-year-old said of the occasion. All of Australia has watched brave Sophie grow up. We remember her as the bandaged little girl who beat the odds in December 2003 when a car crashed into her Sydney childcare centre and burst into flames on top of her, resulting in burns to 85 per cent of her body. Then, still in and out of intensive care, she was hit by a car on a pedestrian crossing in May 2006 and left with bleeding on her brain and other trauma. But Sophie has always soldiered on and never…

1 STAY COOL Will & Grace star Debra Messing loves CoolSculpting, a non-surgical treatment that uses cooling to crystallise fat cells. Within a few weeks, they die – and new ones don’t come back in their place. “I have fat frozen off of my body [so] three months later I can feel a little bit better in a bathing suit,” says Debra. 2 STEM THE TIDE Asparagus and bananas are good sources of inulin, a prebiotic fibre associated with reductions in waist circumference and belly fat accumulation. Researchers also found that increased fibre intake can lead to a decrease in the harmful fat that surrounds your organs, which is linked to illnesses. 3 GET INTENSE UK medical director Dr Luke James says, “Only doing abdominal-focused workouts won’t help [your] bulge.”…
