On March 15 the unthinkable happened. It happened to the most innocent of all at their most vulnerable time, a time of peace and worship. For Australians watching the horror unfold, it was all too close to home. How could such injustice be carried out on our doorstep? Worse still, who could do this to our long-time allies and closest of friends? New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she cannot begin to know the grief of the families left behind, but asked her country to walk with them at every stage. With a proud history of mateship with our Kiwi neighbours, we not only walk alongside them with compassion but we wrap our arms around every New Zealander at this time of tragedy. May their countrymen rest in peace…

Over the past 13 years, with a full-on job and as a single mum, I’ve hired my fair share of nannies. One turned up barefoot to the interview, another quit over a dirty nappy (peculiar given her career choice!) and another was so germaphobic she wore rubber gloves the whole time! In the end, I decided on a manny. He was a great cook and loved playing nerdy games with my geeky boys. But in a lesson it appears Prince Harry is about to learn (p18), it’s best not to choose a Hollywood hunk with model looks! Harry could take a tip from Meghan’s buddy George Clooney, who famously has no help whatsoever and changes all the nappies himself. With rumours of another set of twins on the way, that’s…

Family woes are clearly taking their toll on a usually happy and healthy Nicole Kidman. Fans have reached out in support of the Aussie star, who appeared distressed and incredibly frail when she was snapped in New York last week. Now Woman’s Day can reveal the truth behind her heartbreak. The 51-year-old is set to lose her son Connor for good, as the 24-year-old prepares to marry a “Scientology Princess”, hand-picked for him by the church – and mum Nicole will be banned from the wedding. Woman’s Day has learned Connor is in a long-term, serious relationship with Silvia Zanchi and is said to be engaged to the stunning fellow parishioner. A second-generation Scientologist from Italy, Silvia moved to Clearwater, Florida and fell in love with Tom Cruise and Nicole’s…

He preaches about living his best zen life, but Dino’s peaceful existence could be seriously disrupted by outrageous allegations he may have a secret love child. According to a well-placed insider, the Perth meditation teacher, 35, allegedly began an affair with a woman who had a long-term partner and child. Woman’s Day is told the woman was eight months pregnant with her second child in March 2018 when her partner suspected she was having an affair, having gone through her phone records and discovered Dino’s number had been called a suspiciously large number of times over a year. ‘She was eight months pregnant when her partner questioned her’ The ordeal led to their break-up, however he has continued his responsibilities as a father to both children since the split. “Given…

They’ve had their ups and downs but in the end it seems Mike and Heidi’s romance couldn’t go the distance. Unlike the other couples who have been spotted out together since filming ended, Heidi and Mike have not been seen together since then. What’s more, Woman’s Day is told Mike, 43, has moved on from his 38-year-old bride and is dating Casey Stewart, 26, the daughter of Gina Stewart, aka the 48-year-old “World’s Hottest Grandmother”. “Mike and Casey have been spending a lot of time together and she stays at his place on the Gold Coast a lot,” a source reveals. “They’re planning to go public after the show, once Mike’s commitments finish.” Casey, who works in construction and is a part-time model, has liked a number of Mike’s photos…

Lovebirds Bindi and Chandler have been spending a lot of time in New York, and sources tell Woman’s Day a move there is on the cards! “They love life in Australia but they always have fun when they visit the Big Apple and they’ve started talking about getting a second home out there,” spills an insider. “It would give them a place closer to Chandler’s family, and Terri is all for it. She’s keen to capitalise on their success in the US, so it makes sense. Bindi and Chandler are planning on tying the knot in Australia, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they have a second ceremony in New York.”…

Servicing your car in the right and timely manner can extend the life of your engine, reduce fuel consumption, increase safety, prevent wear of moving parts, maintain roadworthiness and improve resale value. Most cars benefit from a service at least once a year, or after 10,000-15,000km since the last service, whichever comes first. There are two main types of service: minor and major. The intervals between major services are long, and there are usually one or two minor services in between them. MINOR SERVICE Engine oil and oil filter change Air and fuel filter check Tyre check and rotation General inspection (fluids, belts, hoses and brakes) Battery test MAJOR SERVICE Engine check Lights check Spark plug replacement Air-conditioner filter check Brake fluid and brake check Coolant flush Transmission service Wheel…

With 50 innocent people killed during prayers in Christchurch, the world united to condemn the atrocity and fight to end “hatred and intolerance” as New Zealand began to bury the dead and comfort the living. “What has happened in Christchurch is an extraordinary act of unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities – New Zealand is their home – they are us,” said New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The sentiment was echoed around the world with Queen Elizabeth, Pope Francis and world leaders sending their condolences. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison called the massacre an “attack on all peace loving peoples, on all innocent peoples”. When he visited the Lakemba Mosque in Sydney, he expressed the…

After claiming she had a measly $1300 to her name following her split from ex-husband Stephen Belafonte in March 2017, court documents filed for her ex have alleged that Mel B was in fact sitting on a small fortune! According to an accountant’s report, the former Spice Girl had $117,000 in the bank and assets of $6 million, including property and jewellery, and $97,000 in stocks and bonds. In the year leading up to her divorce, she earned almost $3.1 million, which included her salary as a judge on America’s Got Talent. Although the 43-year-old spendthrift revealed she frittered away $159,000 a month on rent, lavish meals out, expensive holidays and cars, the picture painted in the report is a stark contrast. The singer, who is a Women’s Aid ambassador,…

He’s her best friend and was the main man in the Duchess of Sussex’s life – until Prince Harry came along. And as the royal couple’s fairytale romance continues to falter, 37-year-old Meghan has been leaning on her good friend, Canadian-born consultant Markus Anderson, more than ever before. But despite her resolve to keep Markus close, Harry is seeing red. Now royal watchers say their friendship is causing more turbulence in the royal marriage than ever before. HER ROCK “Meghan and Markus have stayed super close even though she lives pretty far away now,” one royal insider tells Woman’s Day. “They talk all the time over text and on the phone, and he’s been her rock, especially throughout all of the recent drama at the palace. “It’s easy to see…

While Connor is now living in elite Scientology retreat The Sandcastle in Clearwater, Florida, his big sister Isabella is based in the UK. But the siblings showed they are still as close as can be when Connor travelled across the Atlantic for a reunion. Connor and his older sister, who he calls “Bells”, celebrated their reunion over breakfast. And sources tell Woman’s Day their strong bond is bittersweet for their estranged mum Nicole. “Nicole is thrilled Connor and Bella have such a good relationship and are always there for each other, especially now that they live so far apart,” says an insider. “But it hurts her to see them together and know she can’t hang out with them. Nicole wishes things were different.”…

As one of the show’s first brides to exit filming late last year, it’s believed jewellery store manager Elizabeth returned to a former flame back home in Newcastle after leaving the show heartbroken. “Liz had a guy she was particularly close with prior to entering the show and they’ve known each other for ever,” a source close to the blonde tells Woman’s Day. “It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s back with him.” The insider also confirms that a year ago, the mystery man and Lizzie had told their closest friends they were considering starting a family! Now in photos obtained exclusively by Woman’s Day, it can be revealed the 27-year-old’s plans to start a family may have come sooner than expected. An eagle-eyed shopper reveals they spotted Lizzie shopping for…

It’s been three years since former reality bride Clare Verrall was at the centre of her own MAFS drama with “husband” Jono Pitman, and now she’s back making headlines – for good reason! After an ongoing weight battle, the 35-year-old stepped out at a Grand Prix Penthouse Party in Melbourne last week flaunting an impressive 50kg weight loss. She stunned onlookers wearing a skin-tight minidress that showed off her lean figure. A year ago Clare revealed on social media she weighed 119kg and ordered in three pizzas a day. She also confessed she was too embarrassed to leave her house due to her weight gain, anxiety and PTSD. “A year on, I’m walking the runway. This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this,” she posted. “I was…

As George and Amal Clooney walked the red carpet at the People’s Postcode Lottery Charity Gala in Edinburgh on March 14, whispers were rife that the human rights barrister was trying to conceal the distinct beginnings of a baby bump! Rumours that the couple are expanding their happy brood come just days after the 41-year-old appeared a little rounder around the middle in a stunning white dress while at a dinner at Buckingham Palace. What’s more, it doesn’t look like there’s just one bun in the oven either! When  57-year-old George held up four fingers to the cameras, many said it was a sign he’s about to become a dad of four. SHARING THEIR JOY “People are convinced it’s his way of revealing they’re expecting twins again,” our close insider…

These days Natalie Joyce can’t wipe the smile off her face. After weathering the worst two years of her life, Barnaby Joyce’s ex-wife has transformed herself into one of the fittest women in Australia through sheer grit and determination. The remarkable transformation has seen Natalie, 49, shed 15kg in less than 12 months, thanks to a balanced eating and exercise program. And it has helped her fulfil a dream – to become a bodybuilder and compete in her first competition. “I quite literally had an epiphany – I decided this was not going to break me, but be the making of me. At the time, as the collapse of our marriage played out so publicly, I won’t lie – I was not in a good place,” Natalie tells Woman’s Day.…

1 WHEN DID YOU LAST DO A TRAINING WORKSHOP? If a personal trainer has undertaken training workshops recently, it demonstrates their commitment to a credible career. They’re willing to invest time, energy and money to provide the best possible service. If a trainer hasn’t completed a course within the past two years, their skills may not be up-to-date and I’d question whether I’m in the best hands. 2 IS YOUR FIRST AID AND CPR UP-TO-DATE? Up-to-date CPR and first aid provides reassurance the trainer can deal with an emergency situation. In a worst-case scenario, I’d want to know they’re able to administer CPR if needed. Fitness Australia registered trainers complete CPR training annually, and first aid training every three years. 3 ARE YOU REGISTERED WITH A GOVERNING…

He stresses at the slightest noise but is very protective of Alix and loves his dad (Alix’s husband). He knows Alix doesn’t let him near the grandchildren, but understands why and tells her he would never hurt them. Wilson will be relaxed one minute and riddled with anxiety the next. He shows me he recently went to the beach for a holiday and loved it. Wilson then shows me that he lies down to eat…

Poor Victoria Beckham probably thought she’d seen the last of love rival Rebecca Loos years ago, but she’s been left reeling with the upsetting rumours that Rebecca is moving back to the UK – and down the road from their family home! Following the affair scandal between David, 43, and Rebecca in 2004, the former PA, 41, married and started her life over in Norway. But according to an insider, the mother-of-two yoga instructor plans to head back to UK shores. “She’s hoping to split her time between London and Norway,” says the source. “Rebecca is apparently partnering with a yoga studio in Holland Park and teaching classes there, so she’s rented out a home just a stone’s throw away from the studio – which also happens to be just…

When Irina Shayk shared a drop-dead gorgeous photo of herself working out on Instagram, it spoke volumes. “Watch ya back,” the 33-year-old captioned the post. Her fighting words sparked talk that it was a clear message to Lady Gaga warning her to keep her hands off her man, Bradley Cooper, 44 – or else! “Irina has had to deal with everyone speculating over Bradley and Gaga’s ridiculously close friendship and she’s sick of it,” a source says. “She hoped that once awards season was over talk about Bradley and Gaga becoming an item would die down, but sadly that hasn’t been the case.” Gaga, 32, and Bradley’s red-hot chemistry has been the talk of the town and the A Star Is Born actors whipped fans into a frenzy during a…

Embattled TV presenter Karl Stefanovic has set rumours swirling again that he and his fashion-designer wife Jasmine Yarbrough are set to adopt! Close friend and Nova radio presenter Tim Blackwell posted a telling snap of Karl, 44, cuddling his baby boy Artie during a recent day out in Sydney, writing, “Friends, applications for God Father have now closed.” And Karl’s godfather duties may not be his only baby duties, after his new bride Jasmine, 34, revealed she’s a big supporter of adoption in Australia – with some fans suggesting she was dropping hints about her plans to start a family. Not only that, Karl admitted he had chatted “at length” to Hugh Jackman’s wife Deborra-lee Furness – a huge adoption advocate – about the process. However, if Karl is planning…

If Markus does help look after Harry and Meghan’s little one, it’d be in stark contrast to William and Kate’s most trusted employee – nanny Maria Borrallo. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hired Maria when their eldest son Prince George, five, was eight months old. She also takes care of his siblings, Princess Charlotte, three, and Prince Louis, 11 months. She trained at the elite Norland College, where attendees are taught how to change nappies, cook, sew and clean, as well as practise first-aid and self-defence. “Maria is the best of the best,” says an insider. “Harry was under the impression they would hire someone similar. But Meghan is calling the shots now.”…

Earlier this month Woman’s Day revealed Nicole was fuming over Keith’s cosiness with stunning blonde country star Julia Michaels (below). The pair toured Australia together in January and have become incredibly close, with Keith and the 25-year-old singer remaining in regular contact in the months since their shows Down Under. With Nicole and Keith seemingly spending large amounts of time apart for work, it’s raised speculation about the state of their marriage. Now, Nicole seems to be juggling caring for their kids with her filming commitments, as Keith continues to tour Europe. She was spotted with Sunday and Faith on set in New York last week, where she is working long days filming her new TV series The Undoing. Previously, the couple claimed they never spent more than two weeks…

They’ve faced some pretty big obstacles in their short, mainly clandestine TV relationship, but the forbidden love between Jess and Dan is about to be tested like never before. “He’s been charged with aggravated fraud and there’s every chance he’s going behind bars soon,” says a family friend close to the stocky, former Currumbin Eagles rugby league player. “Word is he might go inside for six months and that’s really going to put pressure on his new relationship with Jess.” It was lust at first sight for the pouty-lipped 27-year-old when she spotted “intruder” Dan gatecrashing the MAFS dinner party with his new wife Tamara. Jess made no secret of the fact that she wanted Dan for herself, choosing to stay in the experiment with her very-unhappy husband Mick purely…

It appears wildlife warrior Robert “Bob” Irwin’s days as a third wheel to his big sister Bindi and her boyfriend Chandler Powell are over! Woman’s Day can reveal Bob has found love – and the lucky young lady couldn’t be more perfect for him.

Brought together through a mutual passion for wildlife and conservation, the teens were quick to get to know each other. It wasn’t long before budding wildlife photographer and children’s book author Ashleigh met the rest of the Irwin family, including her childhood idol Bindi, 20, at a dinner. After meeting the siblings for…

Now, insiders confirm to Woman’s Day Katie’s relationship with Jamie Foxx is over – and the heartbroken star is moving back in with her parents! Katie and 51-year-old Jamie have been spending little time together, fuelling speculation all is not well. And the former Dawson’s Creek star is said to be devastated after Jamie declared he was “single” at an Oscars party. “They’ve been through a lot as a couple, with whispers of Jamie’s wandering eye and reluctance to commit casting doubt over their future together, but they’d gotten to a great point in their relationship, with wedding bells on the cards,” our insider tells.…

As devastating acts of terror and shared trauma surround us, we can’t help but feel affected. But how do we help our young ones understand events and soothe their confusion, anxiety and grief? Christchurch-based neuroscience educator and child trauma specialist Nathan Wallis says the old days of overprotecting kids and telling them not to worry are over. “We need to help them make sense of it,” says Nathan. “Kids can be more traumatised when they’re aware something has happened but they’re given no explanation.” HELP THEM REACH OUT People come together after shared traumatic events and being part of the solution can also help. If possible, get your kids involved in showing support to the affected community – they could make cards to show empathy or take flowers to memorial…
