I’d always hoped I’d never have to deal with a child being bullied, but earlier this year when my son Archie moved to a new class he’d come home with stories of kids being unkind to him. “Don’t worry, Mum. He must be unhappy in his heart to do this to me,” he assured me. I was so proud to hear those words I burst into tears. Thankfully, after years of education on bullying in schools, this is the kind of resilient attitude many kids have now – but 27 per cent of Aussie kids still report being bullied every few weeks or more often. This week, former Big Brother winner Reggie Sorensen shares with us the impact bullying has had on her family and reveals what she’s doing about…

Singer Chris Martin and Fifty Shades Of Grey actress Dakota Johnson are done and dusted after 20 months – and a baby was reportedly behind the break-up. An insider reveals the Coldplay rocker, 42, was desperate to have a child with the Fifty Shades star, 29 – only she wasn’t ready. “It was too much pressure for Dakota,” explains the source. “Chris’ constant baby talk ended up suffocating her.” Chris has two children, Apple, 15, and Moses, 13, with his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, 46, who he remains close to. Dakota and Chris holidayed with Gwyneth and her husband, Brad Falchuk, 48, but it made Dakota think carefully about having a baby with Chris. “Dakota knew Gwyneth was a constant in Chris’ life and this would only increase if they had…

Troubled pop princess Britney Spears has been leaning on her “protector” boyfriend Sam Asghari, 25, for support amid a much-publicised wrangle with her father Jamie Spears. But as the saga over a legal conservatorship – which grants Jamie, 66, decision-making power over Britney’s financial and personal affairs – continues, sources say the Toxic singer, 37, is increasingly confused about who she can trust. “Britney’s been paranoid about her boyfriends having links to her dad ever since she dated Charlie Ebersol,” a source tells Woman’s Day. Entrepreneur Charlie, 36, was famously set up with Britney in 2014 after passing a “dad test” with Jamie – and now insiders say Britney is terrified Sam is having secret meetings with her father behind her back. “Recently people on Britney’s team have triggered suspicions…

Liam Hemsworth was spotted looking far from happy on a day out with his family recently. Fans fear the unhappy star might be leaning on his nearest and dearest for support, with his relationship with new wife Miley Cyrus already on shaky ground. It comes amid reports the pair can’t stop fighting with each other. When Liam 29, and Miley 26, stepped out recently in Malibu, they were reportedly seen arguing over Miley’s antics on a night out with friends. Sources say the singer’s old wild ways are starting to get on Liam’s nerves once again. “I often see Miley at the club having fun without Liam,” one onlooker in Malibu tells. “It’s obvious she’s even more comfortable letting her hair down when her husband’s not around.”…

DELTA & JULES’ PUBLIC SHOWDOWN Just weeks after Woman’s Day revealed Guy Sebastian’s stylist wife Jules was growing increasingly tired of the constant chatter about her husband’s short-lived romance with Delta Goodrem, the ladies have come face-to-face at a frosty dinner party. Celebrating Boy George’s 58th birthday in Sydney last week, an insider reveals that Delta, 34, and Jules, 37, allegedly got into a war of words in front of their partners, closest mutual friends and The Voice production crew. “One too many champagnes later, it just became all too much,” says the insider. The pair are said to have exchanged a few barbed digs about Guy’s whirlwind romance with Delta before they awkwardly laughed it off. “Jules tries her best to keep her cool, but she won’t have it…

When Nicole Kidman made the surprising decision to allow her two young daughters to break into the acting business, she proudly proclaimed, “It’s made us all closer.” After spending years shielding Sunday, 10, and Faith, eight, from the harsh glare of the spotlight, Nicole described how her daughters’ roles on the new season of Big Little Lies gave them “a stronger understanding of what I do”. FIGHT OVER LIES But while the 51-year-old insists the experience has been a positive one, sources tell Woman’s Day that Nicole’s husband, Keith Urban, doesn’t necessarily feel the same way. “They were always on the same page when it came to keeping the kids out of the spotlight and now Nicole seems to be heading in a different direction,” says a source. “Keith wasn’t…

‘Every parent needs this… if it saves just one child, it’s worth it’ As she was growing up in Tasmania, former Big Brother winner Reggie Sorensen, then Reggie Bird, says she was badly bullied and suffered vicious taunts from her fellow students. “They used to call me ‘bush pig’ because I wasn’t allowed to shave my legs. Kids can be so cruel,” the 44-year-old tells Woman’s Day. So when Reggie’s 12-year-old daughter Mia appeared unusually withdrawn, the single mum knew something was wrong. “Mia is by nature a sweet soul – she’s one of those kids who everyone loves because she’s so kind,” Reggie says. “She loves school but started to say she didn’t want to go,” adding it turned out a bully had marked Mia as her target. “This…

Julia’s pooch Reuben rules! AMANDA SAYS Julia Gillard’s dog Reuben was so determined to come through I really had no choice! He tells me he once escaped from the “big house” and was caught just before he took a tour of the suburbs. Not even the former prime minister can tell him what to do! I can only imagine what he’d get up to during the day or when his mum was away – he shows me he liked to investigate and snoop. He says when Julia’s away he waits patiently for her return even if it’s some time. He loves most people and when his mum was PM he’d sometimes go to work with her and be doted on by her colleagues. Reuben doesn’t divulge many secrets about his…

Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren has well and truly moved on, with news she’s expecting a baby with her NFL star boyfriend Jordan Cameron, 30. The stunning Swede, 39, showed off her growing bump at a sporting event, and sources tell Woman’s Day she’s never been happier. “Jordan treats her like a princess,” says an insider. Elin divorced golfer Tiger, 43, with whom she had two children, in 2010 after he admitted cheating with several women.…

Actress Jodi Anasta broke down several times on the Neighbours set in the weeks leading to her sudden departure. Now friends are claiming she’s been “burning the candle at both ends” for at least six months because she’s struggling with her busy life. “She’s really emotional and has walked off set crying a number of times just over little things and out of frustration,” confirms one co-star, who says the cast and crew of Neighbours have been concerned about her wellbeing for weeks. “She shows up exhausted after late-night partying and has been forgetting her lines. We’ve all been worried about her. I really do believe she’s going through a bit of a personal crisis at the moment.” INTERVENTION A Ten spokesperson confirmed last week Jodi, 34, was on a…

He’s known for his jovial attitude and contagious smile, but a source close to Guy reveals that backlash about his coaching choices and ongoing court ordered mediation with his former manager Titus Day is causing the father-of-two to suffer undue stress. “It’s a lot of pressure for Guy to deal with,” says the insider. “He’s usually able to cope with his emotions, but as of late everything’s becoming all too much.” Last week’s knockout rounds were noticeably emotional for the former Australian Idol winner. With no saves up his sleeve, Guy was forced to choose between Jordy Marcs, Lara Dabbagh and Jack Vidgen to join his team. “This is killing me. Like I’ve been in these sorts of...” he said, before choking up and becoming unable to finish his sentence.…

After putting two testing years behind her, Olivia Newton-John is enjoying the simple things in life, including romantic weekly dates with her husband John Easterling. Olivia was recently given Australia’s highest honour, the Companion of the Order of Australia (AC), which moved the entertainment icon to tears. Days later, Olivia, 70, still seemed elated about the honour, looking healthy and happy out in California with John, 66. ‘Positive thinking is so important to living a healthy and happy life’ Speaking to Woman’s Day, a local resident reveals Olivia and John are popular neighbours, who frequent a few local eateries, with John a true knight in shining armour for Olivia, who is incredibly lucky to have him by her side. “They come in regularly and sit in the same place,” reveals…

One person Nicole is leaning on during this difficult time is her sister Antonia. The 48-year-old is a mum-of-six, so she fully knows the trials and tribulations of raising children. Sharing a poignant photo of her and her sister on Instagram on June 14, Nicole gushed, “Love you Ant.” “Antonia is Nicole’s rock right now,” says a source. “Nicole is holding it together for the sake of the children, but inside she’s very worried that she and Keith can’t agree, and Antonia is the only person she feels she can talk to about it.”…

Melissa Thomas is best known for her role in iconic Aussie soap E Street, and performing opposite the late Heath Ledger in Sweat, but fast forward 20 years and the mother-of-four has turned anti-bullying campaigner after a “violent” ordeal her daughter endured at school. Melissa, 44, from Sydney says her little girl Charlotte, nine, suffers bullying every day and the situation is breaking her heart. “She gets called names like nerd, loser, ugly – and the most recent incident is because of her looks,” Melissa reveals, explaining Charlotte’s big blue eyes and rosy cheeks were making her a target for jealous schoolmates. Recently, Charlotte was accused of wearing makeup to school by bullies who “dragged her into the girls bathroom, dunked her head in the sink and scrubbed it red…

Parkinson’s is a slow-moving neuro-degenerative disorder. People can go for years with only mild symptoms like a hand tremor, slowed walk and quieter speech. Their partners often don’t realise they’ve become a carer until the person with Parkinson’s begins falling regularly and it’s no longer safe to leave them alone for more than an hour or two. The couple socialises less as the person with Parkinson’s struggles to keep up with group conversations and finds it embarrassing to eat in company because they make a mess. Increased isolation combines with exhaustion as the person with Parkinson’s wakes several times a night to go to the toilet and needs help to get there. While carers are at risk of injury while lifting their partner, the emotional toll is far greater. All…

She was up for the big gong last year, but to say TV host and radio broadcaster Amanda Keller was surprised to be nominated again for a Gold Logie at this year’s TV WEEK Logie awards would be an understatement. “I was stunned to be on the list, to be honest,” The Living Room and Dancing With The Stars host admits. “It never occurred to me I’d be the type of person who would be [up for that kind of award] – probably because I worked with Ray Martin for a number of years. I think he’s the sort of person who gets nominated for a Gold Logie... not me!” What might come as a shock to Amanda, 57, is something the rest of us take as a given –…

Just days after Woman’s Day exclusively revealed that Sam Frost’s boyfriend Dave Bashford had pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, the former Bachelorette star has been snapped looking seriously  distressed while filming on the set of Home And Away. Now an insider close to the 30-year-old TV starlet has come forward claiming that behind closed doors, the couple have dealt with their share of problems since they started dating in 2017. “They had some issues over money because Sam was earning pretty well with her radio and TV work, and not long into their relationship he owed her money for furnishing his apartment,” claims the source. The insider also tells that Sam has raised eyebrows among 27-year-old Dave’s friends after becoming jealous over his interactions with other women. “There was a…

David and Victoria Beckham are said to be reeling after their son Brooklyn cut contact with them – telling friends he’s sick of his parents trying to control him and he’s ready to split. The budding photographer, 20, is furious at his parents for meddling in his volatile relationship with girlfriend Hana Cross, 22. David and Victoria reportedly asked their son to end his liaison. Brooklyn was notably absent from his grandmother Sandra’s 70th birthday celebrations recently, opting instead to holiday in Malibu with Hana, where the couple posed for loved-up photos. “Brooklyn hasn’t spoken to his parents in weeks,” a source says. “He was furious when they told him to dump Hana. “Victoria phoned him in tears after he sent them an email saying he wouldn’t be attending his…

Frolicking in the sea and soaking up the sun on board a sleek yacht, celebrity mum and daughter Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson looked to be having the time of their lives on a recent family holiday in Italy. Mum-of-three Kate, 40, showed off her incredible physique eight months after giving birth to daughter Rani Rose with her boyfriend Danny Fujikawa, 33. Meanwhile, Goldie, 73, and Kurt Russell, 68, eagerly took to a kayak for a paddle, as did Kate, before climbing back onto the yacht for some rest and sunbaking. Kate and Goldie have a famously fabulous relationship, frequently leaving each other loved-up comments on social media, or reposting them. And the recent getaway seems to have only strengthened the mother-daughter duo even more – with onlookers revealing they…

Olivia has also been spending more time with Chloe, too, who seems to have moved temporarily from Oregon to stay with her mum at her Californian ranch, which is currently on the market. The pair were spotted out on several day trips last week, doing some grocery shopping and popping into a pharmacy, all with their beloved pooches in tow. “Her mum is the star but Chloe brings a bit of glamour out into the country,” a local reveals. “It’s nice to see them out and about.”…

Her father was a rock icon, believed by many to be a multimillionaire, but INXS superstar Michael Hutchence’s lookalike daughter Tiger Lily is now said to be living in a “squat” in London, and has never seen a cent of her famous dad’s missing millions. Tiger Lily, 22, was due to receive a share of the troubled musician’s fortune – estimated to be between $10 million to $50 million – when she turned 21 in 2017. But whether such a huge fortune indeed exists has been a subject of conjecture for years, and no one has ever solved the mystery of what really happened to Michael’s money. The man in charge of Michael’s accounts, tax lawyer Colin Diamond, claimed the rocker died penniless – having spent his wealth on partying,…

She’s jingle-jangled her way around the world a dozen times, but ask belly dancer Rozeta Ahalyeas if it’s time to give up the shimmy, and you’ll get a quick answer. “I’ve danced my way into people’s hearts for over 60 years, and you’ll never take the dancing queen out of this girl!” promises Rozeta from her Sunshine Coast home. She spent much of her childhood in an orphanage in Greece after losing her Jewish parents to the Nazis in WWII, before seeking a new life in Australia. “My parents made sure I was safe, and I learned early on how to entertain, and began to love the sound of music and knew I had a passion for dance,” she says. But the teen had a rocky path to her new…

We’ve all heard about or even tried some kind of homemade remedy for a common ailment. Now, GP Dr Ginni Mansberg and Associate Professor in Immunology Ash Haque – along with neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo – are exploring some of the weirdest medical claims on their new SBS program Medicine Or Myth?. Here are just a few of the weirdest they’ve heard... 1. MAGGOT TEA TREATS ACNE Maggot secretions contain an antibacterial enzyme, which cleans wounds and slows bacterial growth. But does that mean it can treat acne, too? Well, according to show guest CJ, if sipped in the form of maggot tea, it can! The experts aren’t enthused though. “I can’t even begin to speculate on how this might work,” says Professor Haque. 2. SEAHORSES CURE ASTHMA While it’s…

OK, our pooches won’t be able to do the same yoga poses we do – and yes, that does include downward dog! – so how exactly are they incorporated into the yoga or doga routine? “Doga is regular yoga that incorporates your pets,” says Fiona Rigg, founder of pet treat brand PAWDinkum (pawdinkum.com.au). “Whilst you do your workout on the mat, you are strengthening your bond with your pet as you give them a gentle stretch and massage.” To help your pup with their “poses”, Fiona suggests that you start by having your dog on its leash sitting next to you on your yoga mat. Gently pat and rub your dog’s ears to aid its relaxation. Like us, dogs have acupressure points in their ears. “If they are a small…
