Innholdsfortegnelse for 1920 i Woman's Day

As we celebrate Mother’s Day I realise how blessed I am to be a mum of two happy and healthy boys and also to have a loving mum of my own – in her 80s but with the energy of a 21-year-old and the heart of a saint. But not everyone is so lucky and Mother’s Day can have a different meaning for others. For Queensland mum Sally Leydon, it means another year searching for her mum, who has been missing since 1997 (p40). For one Gold Coast family, it’s five times the love, with newborn baby Theo making five generations (p36) and for former TV host Tania Zaetta, it’s double the joy as she celebrates her first Mother’s Day at 49 after giving birth to her two little angels,…

Tom Cruise has always taken his action hero reputation very seriously, but now the fitness-obsessed actor is apparently making others on set follow suit! Despite doctors worrying he may never run again after he broke his ankle while performing a stunt on Mission: Impossible – Fallout in 2017, Tom, 56, has kept up his gruelling daily gym sessions. And according to reports, super-fit Tom is determined to whip everyone else on the set of his next two Mission: Impossible films into shape, too! “Tom likes everyone he works with to be fit and healthy, whether they like it or not,” says an insider. “You have to admit Tom is a master motivator, and he doesn’t ask anyone to do anything he doesn’t do himself.”…

Sitting down with Andrew Denton for Seven’s Interview last week, a candid Casey Donovan had fans praising her for her courage after opening up about the severe emotional manipulation she experienced throughout her adolescence. After being crowned Australian Idol’s youngest ever winner at just 16 in 2004, Casey embarked on a national tour before becoming the victim of a shocking six-year “catfishing” scandal. Via phone calls and messages, Casey fell for a man named “Campbell”, despite the fact they’d never met in person. But in 2011, she discovered her best friend Olga had been pretending to be Campbell the whole time. But last week, Casey, 30, shared the shocking extent of the betrayal, admitting she’d lost her virginity to Olga after “Campbell” convinced her to do it in return for…

Aussie pop princess Ricki-Lee Coulter has sparked rumours she and her manager-turned-husband Richard Harrison could be facing a rough patch, after posting several cryptic Instagram quotes. “You are allowed to terminate toxic relationships. You are allowed to walk away from people who hurt you,” the quote read, leaving some fans concerned about the state of the 33-year-old singer’s marriage. “What toxic stuff did you attract to post this... worried about you, be well,” wrote one follower. Ricki-Lee’s post continued with, “You don’t owe anyone an explanation for taking care of yourself”, while she told one fan, “If you don’t set boundaries, nobody will.” Ricki-Lee and Richard tied the knot in France in 2015, seven years after the singer split from her first husband, Gold Coast builder Jamie Babbington.…

They’re engaged and proving to be one of Married At First Sight’s most successful couples yet, but life after the show is proving to be more of an “experiment” than the reality TV juggernaut ever was for Cameron Merchant and Jules Robinson – the pair have found themselves hit by another ex-lover scandal! Throughout the 2019 season, there were whispers Jules had been involved in same-sex relationships in the past, but the salon manager’s supposed former flames were never addressed on the show. But speaking to Woman’s Day, a source close to Jules reveals that one of her former girlfriends is back in her life – and Cam’s said to be furious. According to the insider, Cam, 35, was shocked to find out Sydney-based events manager Renee Schembri was invited…

They’ll be celebrating 17 years of marriage in July this year, and Julia Roberts and Danny Moder looked carefree and in love as they enjoyed a sundrenched break in Hawaii. But the 51-year-old actress’ noticeably rounded stomach poking out from her striped jumpsuit had some onlookers questioning if she and her cameraman husband have been hiding some surprising news. “Julia looked pretty bumpy,” one tells Woman’s Day. “It could have been the cut of her outfit, but it didn’t stop us wondering if there’s a baby on the way!” While the pair already have three children together –14-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and Henry, 11 – their loved-up display while on holiday certainly pointed to more happy news for the family. Speculation that Julia and Danny were expecting a fourth…

This season of Bachelor In Paradise has felt more like sand in the eye than TV sunshine, with viewers turning off in droves. And in the wake of the show’s dwindling ratings, a well-placed TV insider tells Woman’s Day much-loved host Osher Gunsberg is set to depart The Bachelor franchise and focus instead on his writing and popular self-titled podcast series. “It’s a decision he’s not looking forward to making official, but he’s got so many side projects and a baby on the way with his wife [Audrey Griffen], it would just be a case of freeing up his plate,” reveals the insider. “There’s no bad blood between him and the network – he’s had a fantastic ride but he feels now is the time.” Since 2013, Osher has played…

With the sweetest of smiles and a twinkle in her eye, Winnie “Nanny Jock” McLean gently cradles her precious great-great-grandson Theodore Edward Thornton. Along with Winnie’s daughter Bonnie, granddaughter Justine and great-granddaughter Joanna, Theo’s mum, that makes a record five generations for our photoshoot! “It’s hard to believe there’s almost 100 years between us,” Winnie, 97, tells Woman’s Day from her retirement village on Queensland’s Gold Coast. “I’m completely besotted!” IT’S A MIRACLE! Joanna, 30, chokes back tears as she tells us how much of a miracle baby her son Theo really is – and how he very nearly didn’t make it. “It was every parent’s worst nightmare – my husband Lewis and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. “I had a long labour – 37 hours – until they…

Unlike cryotherapy chambers – those big freezer-type contraptions you stand in – targeted cryo focuses on specific locations of injury or pain, allowing a less-generalised, longer exposure to the area. “[It] reduces inflammation, flushes fluid and cellular waste from painful or injured tissues and increases range of movement,” says Tori Charlton from Sydney’s Cultivate Recovery. “It also helps to accelerate healing and recovery by encouraging the body to circulate blood more rapidly into the cooled area.” Visit cultivaterecovery.com.au.…

Prince Albert of Monaco’s two love children have bounced back into the limelight with his eldest child, 27-year-old actress Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, posting a photo of herself and her “handsome younger brother Alex”, 15, in honour of National Siblings Day. A beaming Jazmin also shared a separate photo of the official heirs to the Monaco throne, four-year-old twins Jacques and Gabriella – Albert’s children with wife Princess Charlene – with the caption “Family First”. And while many would assume Charlene would be fuming, Woman’s Day can reveal the 41-year-old is now more than happy to welcome Albert’s love children into the family.

1. BIG HAIR I love big Hollywood hair, so to get my bouncy and voluminous style, I spray this directly onto my roots straight after a fresh blow wave and again every couple of days to soak up excess oil. It means I don’t have to wash my hair as often, resulting in less heat styling damage. Batiste Heavenly Volume Dry Shampoo $10.95 2.

It looks like water, but it feels like magic on my skin. Alpha-H…

For those who may have lost their mum, or perhaps don’t have a healthy relationship with them, Mother’s Day can be very painful. To help those who need it, clinical psychologist Gemma Cribb has provided some guidance and techniques on how to navigate not only Mother’s Day, but every day that might prove challenging. GRIEVE THE WAY YOU WANT TO “It is important for you to do what you need to do,” says Gemma. “If you need to distract yourself and not acknowledge it, then that is fine. If you feel up to it, celebrating with some kind of ritual in honour of your mother’s memory is often a nice way to bring family together and share this difficult time.” Gemma suggests making the ritual as positive as possible by…

The murder of his former girlfriend has been haunting him for 18 years, but now Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher is reeling over news he may have to face her suspected killer in court. At the time Woman’s Day went to print, the 41-year-old – who is now happily married to Mila Kunis, 35, with whom he shares two young children – had been placed on the potential witness list for the 2001 case, which finally went to trial last week. Ashton’s former flame, Ashley Ellerin, 22, was stabbed to death in her Hollywood home on the night of the Grammys in 2001. On May 2, her alleged killer Michael Gargiulo, 43, appeared in court, accused of murdering three women and attempting to kill another. Police suspect he used his work…

She was apparently “left shaking with happiness” after actor Orlando Bloom’s surprise marriage proposal on Valentine’s Day, and now it seems songstress Katy Perry may have yet another reason to celebrate. New photos of Katy, 34, backstage at American Idol show the singer sporting what some speculated could be the beginnings of a baby bump! The snaps – which show Katy glowing in a shimmering spaghetti top and high-waisted trousers – sparked suggestions she and 42-year-old Orlando could be heading down the aisle faster than planned. While a pregnancy this early might come as a surprise to some, Katy has made no secret of the fact she wants kids with Orlando, who already shares an eight-year-old son, Flynn, with his ex-wife, supermodel Miranda Kerr. In 2018, Katy said she was…

She’s teamed up with Prince Harry for a mental health project, and now Oprah Winfrey has praised her good friend Meghan for bucking royal traditions, such as choosing her own birth plan. “To be able to stand up and say, ‘This is what I really want for my baby and my family, and now I’m going to do it in a different way’ when it’s been done that way for a thousand years? I’m just so proud of her,” says Oprah.…

Woman’s Day recently uncovered that troubled couple Ning Surasiang and Mark Scrivens’ relationship wasn’t as genuine as it appeared, with a source revealing Mark had ongoing trust issues with Ning. But now we can reveal the text message proof that shows the mother-of-three was never truly interested in making things work with the ex-army worker, and was caught up with an ex the whole time! “Mark is sleeping in the bedroom. I’m sleeping on the couch tonight,” Ning writes to her ex. “He is sick of me talking to you.” And while the mystery man drove a wedge between Mark and Ning, 32, other texts confirm Mark’s efforts to be intimate with the Townsville-based bride were a waste of time. “Do you want to see some of my d***,” the…

It’s been a tumultuous few months for Jennifer Aniston. As she grapples with the devastating news that her father, former Days Of Our Lives actor John Aniston, is suffering from ailing health, the actress has stepped in to make the ultimate offer for the sake of John’s young grandchildren. The kids, Ryat, four, and Kira, three, are the offspring of John’s son – and Jennifer’s estranged half-brother – AJ, but he has reportedly “abandoned” them. The youngsters are being cared for by their mother, AJ’s ex Adriane Hallek, but now Jennifer, 50, is considering “adopting” them at her 85-year-old father’s request. YEARNING FOR KIDS “It’s no secret Jen has always wanted children but it just hasn’t happened for her,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. Caring for John’s grandkids “Jen can…

COTTON A light and breathable fabric, cotton is a popular trans-seasonal piece for when the weather is still relatively mild. WOOL Also known as fleece, this natural fibre effectively insulates against the cold. If you find traditional sheep’s wool heavy or scratchy, then opt for more refined versions such as merino. CHENILLE This on-trend fabric is having a ’90s revival, so go for ultra-soft, warm and velvety sweaters to snuggle up in. CASHMERE This silky fibre comes from goats and has a luxurious look and feel – plus a heftier price tag. Look for cashmere blends that add a hint of luxury at an affordable price. ACRYLIC These man-made yarns are inexpensive and machine washable, making them a fabulous choice for daily wear.…

WHAT WE NEED “There are three different types of omega fatty acids: omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9,” explains JS Health founder Jessica Sepel. “Omega-9 fatty acids are produced naturally by the body and are widely available in food sources such as olive oil, nuts, seeds and avocados. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, however, are considered essential, which means we must get them via our food intake.” WHAT THEY DO “Omega-3s are integral in anti-inflammatory processes,” Jessica says. “They can also increase the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, D, E and K).” Omega-6 fatty acids assist with energy production and can also help treat symptoms associated with chronic disease. HOW TO CONSUME MORE “For those who eat fish, marine sources of omega-3 fatty acids [like salmon, mackerel, sardines, trevalla and…

His latest film, Avengers: Endgame, is smashing box-office records worldwide, but Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth was just an ordinary dad last week when he and wife Elsa Pataky helped out at their children’s school canteen.
