I think it’s safe to say I’m not the only one who can’t believe Victoria and David Beckham’s son Brooklyn is getting married – I swear it was only yesterday that he was born! But aside from making me feel my age, the news is very exciting, not only because we’re in for a real treat when the time comes for his two celebfilled weddings – one in Florida and one in London – but also because he’s marrying a billion-dollar heiress! Yes, you heard right, Brooklyn’s in-laws make the Beckhams look, well, as if they’re struggling. Worth $2.4 billion, it’s not exaggerating to say the future Mrs Beckham is set to make her mark. Now, it’s time to get ready for two weddings of the decade...…

Ready to give Archie a sibling Ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted at an LA doctor’s clinic last week, clutching “egg retrieval” medication according to onlookers, speculation they’re trying for a second child has been at fever pitch. And while fans are celebrating, it’s bittersweet news for the couple’s England-based family, who, we’re exclusively told, have heard the rumours and reached out to the couple. The Duchess of Cambridge, especially, is said to be keen to connect with Meghan, 38, hoping the blessing of another baby in the family might help them heal their debilitating rift. “Kate loves children and regardless of the bad blood between her and Meghan, she would forgive it all in a heartbeat if she got to spend more time with darling…

A new book about the Sussex and Cambridge rift appears to solve the mystery about when Duchess Meghan’s vendetta against the crown began. Royals At War, by Aussie investigative reporter Dylan Howard and writer Andy Tillett, suggests problems began when the Queen and Prince Philip declined to attend baby Archie’s christening last year, citing other engagements. “The Queen and Prince Philip had been generous and understanding but they simply now felt publicly embarrassed by Meghan’s controlling behaviour,” says the source. An insider tells Woman’s Day, “Meghan felt extremely offended by the fact that the Monarch decided not to go.”…

Andy Allen had viewers and even the contestants divided this season, with many fans suggesting the former MasterChef winner fell short of his fellow judges Melissa Leong and Jock. But now there are fresh calls for the 32-year-old to be replaced by Poh Ling Yeow, 47, next season! “Poh should have been one of the judges instead of Andy,” suggests one fan. “I’ve been saying this from the start! I was surprised she wasn’t cast as a judge!” adds another, with others slamming Andy for his less-than-impressive critiques. Poh’s return to the show has certainly cemented her status as one of the country’s leading celebrity chefs and rumours of her reappearance next year come just weeks after she told Woman’s Day she has plans to launch her own TV production.…

At 52, Lisa Marie Presley has seen more pain and suffering than many could bear. And with the shocking death by suicide of her son Benjamin Keough last weekend, there are grave fears she is on the verge of a breakdown. After police announced 27-year-old Ben’s passing at his home in Calabasas, Los Angeles, in the early hours of July 12, fears immediately began for his grieving mum, who described him as “the love of her life”. CLOSE RELATIONSHIP Ben, who dabbled in a music career and was believed to have recently left rehab for drug and alcohol issues, lived a reclusive life in his $2.2 million mansion. He was the spitting image of his world-famous grandfather Elvis – who also died at the age of 42 in 1977, when…

Despite rumours that all might not be well between the couple, it seems Delta Goodrem has been remaining decidedly tightlipped about her relationship with her musician boyfriend Matthew Copley for a happier reason. Speculation is rife that The Voice coach, 35, is planning a secret wedding! Last week, Delta, who has dated Matt since 2017, took to Instagram to show off a stunning custom bridal gown by acclaimed Australian designer Jessica Andreatta. Sydney-based label J.Andreatta rose to prominence in 2018 after Karl Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine sported its designs during their lavish Mexican ceremony. It has since become highly sought-after by famous brides-to-be, and if Delta’s smile is anything to go by, she’s ready for her big day! “Thank you to the divine and insanely talented J.Andreatta for creating this unbelievable…

He’s missing a leg but Rudie the reindeer is so full of love and affection he’s become best mates with his adoptive family’s horse, cats, dogs and sheep. “He just loves to love and he’s so kind,” smiles veterinary nurse Miranda Petts, 28, who rescued the brown-eyed buck when he was brought into her clinic. Rudie was just two days old and in “very rough shape” after being hit by a harvesting machine. A local farmer in the NSW town of Albury brought him in wrapped in a blanket. “We locked eyes, and he knew I had his back. He was so calm. I fell in love immediately,” says Miranda. With half his front leg missing, the fragile fawn could never survive in the wild and would have been euthanised…

Meghan’s moan to a friend in Hollywood that Archie isn’t able to have any friends because his mum is too famous has deeply upset his tight-knit family back in England. According to the Daily Mail, Meghan complained to her pal that her 14-month-old can’t join a Mommy and Me class in LA, “but she knows this is impossible even if there was no COVID-19 because of who she is. She said she’s just too well known to do normal things.” Meghan’s friend adds, “She said Archie needs to learn emotional and social skills by being around other children, something he can’t do with adults.” It all sounds fair enough, say palace insiders, if there wasn’t a gaggle of children in the royal “rascal squad” who could have been Archie’s besties…

When Brooklyn Beckham dropped to one knee and proposed to his girlfriend Nicola Peltz, their families erupted in celebration. After all, famously protective of her boy, Victoria has what’s been described to Woman’s Day as a “mother-daughter bond” with her 21-year-old son’s girlfriend of 10 months. But behind the scenes, sources say Posh is feeling a little inferior as she begins to help plan her son’s wedding with his billionaire in-laws. Model and actress Nicola’s old-money billionaire family, based in glitzy Palm Beach, Florida, rule the social elite and call President Trump a friend. David, 45, and Victoria, 46, are worth $640 million – nothing to sneeze at, though insiders have said a string of poor business decisions have put a noticeable dent in that number. Nicola’s dad, businessman Nelson…

Orphaned bunny Daisy was rescued from the streets 12 months ago – and now she’s living the high life with her own bedroom, a closet crammed with clothes and even a car! Daisy was in terrible shape when her “forever mum” Deanne Caruana found her. The rabbit had dirty matted fur and black-stained feet from being locked in a cage. “Daisy came into my life after I got a call from the rabbit sanctuary I volunteer for that a bunny needed a forever home,” explains the Sydney-based animal lover. Deanne, 52, has transformed the one-year-old English angora rabbit’s life, spoiling her rotten with her own room and a pram for going out on daily walks. “She was only about eight weeks old and was such a cute little ball of…

This week sees the New Moon in Cancer – the second we’ve had in a row. This one is a bit different though, because it’s asking us to push through whatever is holding us back. It’s taking place opposite the heavy-duty planet Saturn. Saturn is the planet that puts the brakes on. Wherever Saturn goes, lessons follow. Right now, Saturn is at the very end of a long stay in the sign of Capricorn. (If you’re Capricorn or Capricorn Rising and the past few years have taken it out of you, now you know why!) But it’s not only Capricorns that are affected by Saturn and this week’s New Moon – far from it. In fact, we are all going to feel Saturn this week, as the New Moon triggers…

1 FUEL YOUR BODY WITH SMART CARBS When you need to keep your energy from flagging, ignore your chocolate stash in favour of a bowl of porridge with yoghurt and berries, or a chicken and salad sandwich on brown bread for longer-lasting get-up-and-go. “Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in your diet, so be sure to include at least two serves of wholegrains, such as oats, rice or wholegrain bread each day,” says accredited practising dietitian Melanie McGrice. Make sure you watch your portion sizes, though! “One serve of carbohydrates is equivalent to 30g oats, ½ cup cooked rice or one slice of bread – be careful not to eat too many carbs at once, since overdoing it can impact your serotonin hormones and make you sleepy,” she cautions.…

MEET FAIRY GODMOTHER JENNIFER! Popstar Katy Perry has picked none other than actress Jennifer Aniston to be the godmother of her first child! While the news may be surprising to some, a source says Katy and Jen, 51, have a very close thing – or rather person – in common. “Jen and Katy have been in similar circles over the years, but a little-known fact is that Jen was super close with Orlando post-divorce from Brad,” our source reveals. “They used to vacation in Mexico together and were always very coy on whether they hooked up.” While Katy, 35, has been known to be somewhat territorial over 43-year-old Orlando, our insider says she’s thrilled one of her husband-to-be’s good friends can help raise their child. “Katy accepts that those old…

Ever since Prince Harry bolted from Buckingham Palace, his lookalike has been out of a lucrative side gig. Henry Morley, 31, a mechanic from Yorkshire, was making almost $3500 a week for appearances during peak Sussex fandom – back when they were the darlings of the monarchy, not the unwelcome outcasts. “Since they left [in January], I’ve not had a single booking,” he says. “Businesses think they’ve abandoned their country. If he’s going to stay out of the public eye, that’s my career over.”…

There’s only one thing on the minds of the MasterChef contestants at the moment – the $250,000 cash prize! As Woman’s Day went to print late last week, just days before the finale, the cool quarter of a million dollars was tantalisingly close for one talented cook – a satisfying reward for weeks of stressful elimination challenges and heated critiques. And while Jock Zonfrillo, 43, has been crowned a hero in the competition, the chef has found himself in desperate need of the prize money himself! The father-of-four has been struck with unrelenting hardships of late, overshadowing his newfound TV popularity. In March, Jock announced he was forced to close the doors to his Adelaide restaurant Orana – considered one of the ’s 10 best – and pay staff until…

It’s the country’s most wholesome search for love, a far cry from the sordid scandals of Nine’s Married At First Sight, but Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal that Seven’s new instalment of Farmer Wants A Wife is about to be shrouded in controversy! Last year, fans were ecstatic when six handsome farmers were unveiled ahead of the show’s planned April launch, but when TV scheduling was thrown out the window following the COVID-19 pandemic, Farmer Jack disappeared, too! The show’s current line-up now only teases five farmers, with Jack Beaton, 27, strangely missing. The sheep farmer was originally meant to be appearing on the show before he was swiftly pulled by production. Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, the Victoria-based hopeful revealed he has been gagged by the show’s crew from…

When she married her very own Prince Charming 31 years ago, Rita Barbagallo just had surgery for endometriosis. She was so ill, she wasn’t thinking about the gown, the flowers or the bridesmaids’ dresses – just Salvatore, who was waiting for her at the end of the aisle. “I just focused on the fact I was marrying someone who wanted to marry me as sick as I was,” she recalls, explaining that she was too unwell to help organise the wedding, which became a labour of love for her family. “But I promised Salvatore that one day we will get married again, and I told him I’m going to look like a wedding cake topper. It’s going to be over the top. Princess Diana’s dress had a 7.9-metre bridal train,…

Thinking about getting a little “tweakment” done now restrictions have lifted? Here’s everything you need to know about what may or may not come afterwards... After Botox This wrinkle-relaxing treatment requires little to no downtime, but there are a few things to consider immediately after having your treatment. To avoid bruising at the injection sites, stay away from anything that induces heat in the skin – such as saunas, intense exercise and excess alcohol – for the rest of the day. “Side effects of Botox are exacerbated with any aerobic exercise,” explains master cosmetic injector Matty Samaei, owner of The Medispa by Matty in Sydney. “As your blood pressure rises, so does the chance for swelling, redness and bruising.” Theoretically, there’s also a chance that in the first few hours…
