Who doesn’t love a good wedding? This week we were lucky enough to be invited to celebrate Dr Harry Cooper’s big day! The much-loved TV vet wed his partner, Suze, in a stunning country ceremony surrounded by their closest family, friends and pets, of course, and we have all the beautiful photos to share with you (p22). Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! Also in this issue, we catch up with the one and only Noni Hazlehurst, who spills some family secrets (p84) and reveals how she’s coped being away from her sons for the past two years. We check in with rural doctor Josie, who has delivered more than 250 babies in remote Queensland, and now she has three beautiful boys of her own. For all the cuteness,…

Sandra Bullock has shocked fans by announcing she’s pressing pause on her acting career to spend more time with her kids, son Louis, 12, and daughter Laila, nine. The 57-year-old says her new films, The Lost City and Bullet Train, will be her last for a while. “Right now, and I don’t know how long that will be, I need to be in the place that makes me happiest. I take my job very seriously when I’m at work. It’s 24/7 and I want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family,” says the actress. “That’s where I’m gonna be for a while.” Instead of heading to set, the star says she’ll be busy juggling her kids’ “social calendars” and “servicing their every need”. She’s always been a hands-on…

The Crown star Dominic West was left rosy-faced – and forced to lean on a female friend – after a nine-hour drinking binge in London last week. “Dom was clearly having a great evening. He was smiling like a cheeky schoolboy and had loosened up by whipping off his bow tie. His face got redder as time went by and he was struggling to keep his eyes open,” revealed an onlooker. “Later he danced with a cab driver who helped him out of his car. A man and woman then helped him into his hotel. It looked like he’d had a wild night.” The 52-year-old father-of-five evidently decided to kick-on after attending a pre-BAFTA filmmakers bash at Dunhill House in the English capital the evening before. And while the star’s…

Fans were left fearing the worst after Cher went “MIA” on social media last week. And while the avid Twitter user was only gone for a few days, the 75-year-old star sparked concern for her welfare by admitting she’s “been having personal problems”. When one follower reached out to the If I Could Turn Back Time star, asking her if she was OK, the music legend replied, “Ya know… no. We all cry but sometimes we cry a different kind of tears. Tears that hurt. We become overwhelmed, reach a limit… then are forced 2 push that limit. I’ve been alive since the year dot,” the star continued, “& these yrs are the worst I’ve ever seen… add family to that & it’s a recipe for disaster cake.” While Cher…

They were no-shows at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey last week, but that doesn’t mean Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, weren’t hard at work representing the royals. Sophie, 57, was dispatched to New York to attend several UN events, while her 58-year-old husband travelled to Kenya to plant a tree commemorating his mother’s Platinum Jubilee year. “Everyone’s aware that Charles prefers the idea of a slimmed-down monarchy, but the Wessexes, especially Sophie, have become much-loved members of the family in recent years while they’ve helped shoulder the workload after Prince Philip’s death and the Queen being unwell,” says a palace insider. “Charles would be a fool not to make the most of Sophie’s star power – he’s going to need all hands on deck.”…

Princess Mary is counting the days until she can hug her dear old dad John Donaldson again, according to Danish media. Her & You magazine reports that John, 80, is planning to make the trip to Copenhagen to attend Mary and Prince Frederik’s daughter Princess Isabella’s confirmation ceremony on April 30. “Mary is so excited to see her dad,” says a source. “With the pandemic, being close to him has been impossible. He was meant to visit for her 50th birthday, which was cancelled during the first Omicron surge. She’s only seen him once since 2018 and it’s been very hard for her to be so far from family. Mary’s kids are looking forward to seeing their grandfather, too.” It’s believed that Isabella, 14, will be confirmed during a ceremony…

Long-distance love isn’t an easy ask. So Mitch Eynaud tells Woman’s Day he’s willing to pack up his world and move from his home on Queensland’s Gold Coast to Melbourne in order to make things work with his Married At First Sight bride Ella Ding. “When you share something as special as we have, you’ll do anything,” admits Mitch, 27. “Our relationship is in a great spot,” continues the former model. “It’s a bond I haven’t shared with anybody before.” Ella, also 27, agrees the couple are in a good place. “I do feel secure with Mitchell now,” she tells after sharing her struggles with insecurity on screen. “Chemistry is the glue for us.” Things have certainly come unstuck when it comes to the group, though. Ella admits relationships hit…

She was known for her sparkling smile and wholesome charm, but behind her cheerful onscreen persona, actress Doris Day – who would have turned 100 on April 3 – hid years of heartache. “All I ever wanted is... a baby, a husband who really loved me, a home, all the happiness that they could bring,” Doris, who dominated the silver screen in the ’50s and ’60s, admitted in 1991. “I never got that, and that’s all I really wanted.” The Pillow Talk star got the baby – and four husbands – but love and happiness eluded the Hollywood icon. “This image I’ve got… it has nothing to do with the life I’ve had,” she revealed in her 1975 tell-all Doris Day: Her Own Story. POOR CHOICES The star wed for…

Sarma Melngailis was once the New York darling of the raw food restaurant scene, dubbed the Queen of Vegan Cuisine. Alec Baldwin, Anne Hathaway and Stevie Wonder were just a few of the celebrities who dined on pickled Persian cucumbers at Sarma’s It restaurant, Pure Food and Wine. She featured on the cover of a raw foods cookbook, opened three juice bars and launched a brand of snacks that were sold at Whole Foods markets. But in a bizarre downward spiral, documented in the hotly anticipated four-part Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. Sarma’s life gradually imploded after she began dating Anthony Strangis. In May 2016, four years after they tied the knot and in the ultimate antithesis to all Sarma had been, the couple were arrested in a…

Just like taxes and dental check-ups, car insurance is one of those annoying – and potentially expensive – parts of adulting many of us would prefer not to deal with. The good news is you can make car insurance less painful – and cheaper – with these top hacks. BUY ONLINE & PAY ANNUALLY Put down that phone, stat! Buying insurance online rather than over the phone will cost you less because it’s cheaper for insurers, says Renee Cosgrave, general manager of Stella Insurance. “Some may offer a fixed discount, like $100 off, and others might offer you a percentage discount – either way, when you buy online, you’ll often save money,” she says. And if you can pay annually, do it. Some insurers will offer you a discount if…

“I love a matte lippie but don’t always love the heavy, dry feeling they leave. After trying Revlon’s ColorStay Matte Lite Crayons, I can honestly say they’re some of the most comfortable lipsticks I’ve worn, and that’s because they’re 30 per cent lighter than your average lippie. They’re also formulated with a highly pigmented infusion complexion that’s flake-proof, resists fading, smudging, feathering and bleeding.…

What keeps you interested about Every Family Has A Secret three seasons in? I think it’s one of the few programs on television that is what I would call a reality show because you’re dealing with authentic human experiences and people finding things out in real time, and they’re incredibly vulnerable and open. It’s just a privilege to be part of their journey, which takes a lot of courage, and I think that the stories are deeply moving. How intrigued do you get as the stories unfold? Are you going on the journey as much as the subjects are? Oh, absolutely. The researchers do such an extraordinary job, and often we don’t know until we’re in the middle of telling the story how it’s going to turn out. I think…

She’s still got it! Jamie Lee Curtis looked as fit as she did during her workout video days as she stepped out for the SXSW festival in Texas. Ready, set, Wiggle! While her Wiggle hands could do with some work, Fifi Box and her daughters Beatrix, eight, and Daisy, two, fit seamlessly into the band. Taking the lead Suri Cruise’s new puppy might be small but it certainly looked to be showing her who’s boss as they hit the streets of New York. Kiss of approval After Zoe Kravitz’s performance in The Batman garnered rave reviews, rock royalty Lenny planted a big ol’ kiss on his daughter’s cheek to say congrats. Better with friends! Poh Ling Yeow and friends David Subritzky, Tottie Goldsmith and Magda Szubanski banded together to help…

They’ve been best friends since they dominated the catwalk in the ’90s, but it seems even Kate Moss, 48, and Naomi Campbell, 51, aren’t immune to a little rivalry. Sources say the pair appeared “determined to outdo each other” at a BAFTAs after-party hosted by British Vogue in London last week. “They started the night off happily enough and were chatting away, but as things wore on, it was like they were competing over who was the guest of honour,” says a source. “By the end of the night, they were barely talking, and Kate stalked out with her mum in a right mood, leaving Naomi to go her own way. Back in the day, it wouldn’t be uncommon for them to stumble out of parties together, no doubt plotting…

He’s the tall, handsome man who brings all the news to Australia, but behind the scenes Peter Overton has fought tough battles to shield his wife, TV star Jessica Rowe. He even offered to quit his dream job at the network when Jess was sacked from her co-hosting role on Today, just three years after they were married in Sydney in January 2004. “I was ready to quit Channel Nine because I was so upset at the way you were treated,” he revealed on Jess’ Big Talk Show podcast, adding that his wife talked him out of resigning in protest. SECRET MOVE Peter, 55, also revealed the network secretly approached him the previous year to sound him out about replacing Karl Stefanovic and joining his wife on Today – a…

After sending hearts racing as Angus “Mac” MacGyver, actor Richard Dean Anderson quickly disappeared from public life just like one of the villains he hunted on his show. But as we approach the 30th anniversary of the crime caper finishing up on air in 1992, Richard has emerged from the shadows. The aviator sunglasses, brown leather jacket and tight jeans were nowhere to be seen as Richard, now 72, was seen wearing a loose-fitting shirt and sweatpants as he ran errands around his home in Malibu recently. JUST ONE OF THE LOCALS Richard also appears to have given up his flashy lifestyle, with the actor seen stopping by the post office to mail several packages before hitting up a health food store for some staple supplements. But it seems he…

Move over Ketut, your son is ready for the spotlight! He might only be five years old, but Lenny Mahardika already has his sights set on stardom. The primary school student, who shares his famous father’s big brown eyes and beautiful, warm smile, is eager to be on television just like his dad Kadek Mahardika. Known across Australia for his famous line, “You look so hot today... like a sunrise”, the Balinese actor, 37, shot to fame in 2012 when he starred as Ketut alongside Love Child actress Mandy McElhinney in several beloved AAMI commercials. Now, much to the delight of Kadek and his wife Laura, 30, Lenny dreams of a career in showbiz, too! “Lenny has seen the AAMI adds on YouTube and he likes to make his dad…

Best friends forever AMANDA SAYS Oscar comes through to tell me he has passed over and that Kim’s parents are with him. Oscar tells me he passed over about a year ago and he was the ripe old age of 17 – he had been with Kim since he was a puppy. He went downhill quickly, but he had the most amazing life travelling with Kim around the country together – they were inseparable. Oscar shows me he had a cushion and his towel on the front seat so he could see out, and he absolutely loved that. He also showed me that Kim gave him the most amazing regular massages and the best of raw and organic food to keep him healthy, which it did. Oscar laughs and tells…

For those who’ve suffered from food poisoning in the past, you’ll know it can be a miserable experience. From diarrhoea to vomiting and even flu-like symptoms, the effects of food poisoning are ghastly and can last for two to a wretched 70 days in the case of listeria (yes, you read that right!). Thankfully, storing, handling and cooking food correctly can significantly reduce your chances of being affected by illnesses such as salmonella, E. coli or listeria. Here are some of the most common questions you might have about food safety. IS IT SAFE TO EAT... LEFTOVER RICE? It might seem fairly harmless, but rice can be a source of bacillus cereus, which sounds like a constellation of stars but is actually bacteria that can grow in rice that’s left…

When it comes to car insurance, it pays to be disloyal as insurers tend to value new customers over existing. Renee calls this a “loyalty tax”. “A loyalty tax often occurs when new business customers receive a discount and the longer term customers are paying higher premiums,” she explains. “So in effect, you’re actually subsidising the cheaper rate that’s offered to new customers, when you’re actually the one who’s been loyal.” Her advice: don’t set and forget. When your car insurance policy comes up for renewal, shop around. While some policies do offer loyalty discounts, Renee says it’s still worth getting a few quotes online, as some loyalty discounts might be just clever marketing. Another option is to ask your current insurer if they can offer you a cheaper premium.…

Hollywood is buzzing that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have taken a new turn in their custody battle, with rumours their youngest daughter has opted to spend her spring break with her dad. “Vivienne was super young when her parents split, and now she’s 13, she’s told her parents she wants to spend more time with Brad and get to know him better,” says a source. “She’s keen to move in with him for a while, starting with spring break, to see how it goes.

Even a shopping trip in Notting Hill couldn’t put the smile back on Victoria Beckham’s face last week – and insiders say it has everything to do with the rumoured Spice Girls performance at Glastonbury 2023. A source tells Woman’s Day that the 47-year-old’s battling her entire family over whether or not to join her bandmates on stage. “She’s dreading the opportunity but her hubby David and her kids want her to do it, especially Harper who’s never seen her mum perform,” says a source. “She desperately doesn’t want to do this. The pressure, the rehearsals and trying to get on with a bunch of women who she doesn’t exactly get on with is no fun at all. In fact, she was relieved when the Queen’s jubilee show fell through,…

With the weight of the monarchy resting on their shoulders, it’s been a busy few years for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – especially Kate, the ever-reliable star of the show. So it’s no wonder Prince William is looking to spoil his wife of almost 11 years. Woman’s Day has learned from an exclusive source that Wills, 39, is secretly plotting a surprise minibreak for Kate, 40, as a “sort of pre-celebration” of their wedding anniversary next month. “He’s combining it with their official trip to the Caribbean over the next two weeks,” says the insider. “William is keeping the details under wraps, but most of his friends assume he’ll take her to the Round Hill.” The Round Hill Hotel and Villas, which overlooks Montego Bay in Jamaica, is…

After a lengthy absence away from what she’s described as the “goldfish bowl” of her life in Monaco, Princess Charlene finally returned this month – but if the royal has her way, it won’t be for long. Palace insiders say the 44-year-old is desperate to pack up her family and move to Switzerland and is busy convincing her husband of almost 11 years Prince Albert to get on board with her plan. “After spending the past year receiving treatment for ongoing health issues, first in South Africa and later in an exclusive Swiss clinic, Charlene has had time to think about her life and future and, above all, the future of her children,” a close friend of the royal tells Woman’s Day. “She’s realised that not only is life in…

PERSONALITY SWAPS Ella tells Woman’s Day on-camera and off-camera Mitch are different people. “The Mitchell I got to know is the guy who swept me up! He’s very different when the cameras aren’t rolling. I have never laughed with anyone like that! He was also a lot more relaxed.” TIMELINE TRICKS While contestants are often shown looking bleary-eyed and with serious bedhead, former contestant Michael Brunelli says things aren’t always as they seem. “The morning scenes aren’t filmed right when you wake up,” he revealed on social media. “They’re filmed mid-morning or afternoon.” Michael says he and Martha “would get up, eat breakfast, go to the DINNER DEVIANCE Divide and conquer is the producers’ rule for the infamous soirees. “They want the dinner parties to be as explosive as possible,”…
