I’ve always thought there’s nothing more appealing than a man who wears his heart on his sleeve. My gorgeous brother Sean taught me there’s no need to be embarrassed about speaking from the heart, which is why I’ve always had a soft spot for radio legend John Laws. You see, when I was a young reporter at Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph, I interviewed him several times about his retirement from radio and, without fail, despite my best attempts to talk about his career, all John would do was gush about the love of his life, Caroline. This week my heart goes out to John and his “princess” as she begins treatment for cancer. Their incredible love story is on p32. We also catch up with another Aussie Romeo, ’90s heartthrob…

Bec Hewitt thought a counsellor could save her marriage. But when Lleyton couldn’t even be bothered to show up for the all-important meeting, it was the flashpoint that forced her to make the difficult decision to raise their kids alone – while he continues to lead his jet-setting lifestyle. Their fragile relationship reached breaking point last month after he started coaching tennis badboy Bernard Tomic at the US Open – leaving him even less time for an already very unhappy Bec. “He seems not to want to be home at all,” a family friend says. “He was already busy enough and away more than he was at home before he took on Tomic, and now he will be travelling with him nonstop. This is the final straw. Bec is utterly…
‘I feel blessed to have such a beautiful marriage and loving family’ Strictly Ballroom sensation Paul Mercurio still shudders when recalling the time he decided to cook his beautiful wife Andrea a romantic dinner in the nude – only to wind up with agonising burns to his private parts! “We were newlyweds and we both love cooking, so my plan was to surprise her with a decadent dinner – candles, flowers, champagne. It was a warm night, so I thought I’d be cheeky and perform the culinary honours naked,” remembers Paul, 53. “Big mistake. Lesson learned is never deep-fry in the buff, especially without an apron. We spent the rest of the night applying ice packs to certain sensitive bits!” he laughs, embracing his wife of 29 years. Welcoming Woman’s…

On October 17, the bodies of Maria Claudia Lutz, 43, and her husband Fernando Manrique, 44, their two severely autistic children Elisa, 11, and 10-year-old Martin, and the family dog were found in their home in the leafy northern Sydney suburb of Davidson. The day before, neighbours had seen loving father Fernando busy on the roof, meticulously carrying out what seemed to be repairs. It’s now believed Fernando was in…
