Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 35, 2023 i Woman's Day

Wow! What a week! I don't know about you but I'm still recovering from Matildas mania! Prior to the FIFA Women's World Cup, like many around the country, I would never have sat down to watch a soccer game on the telly. Now, not only have I become a Matildas mega fan, I'm considering signing up for my local soccer team (yep, it's a scary thought). In this issue, Woman's Day celebrates the Mighty Matildas and we share all the exciting moments from on and off the field. We also catch up with former Blockheads Brad and Lara at their Byron Bay home to see what they've been up to since appearing on the show in season five, and we go on tour with the stars of Gogglebox, who share…

Head coach Tony Gustavsson cemented his place in our nation's sporting history, thanks to the Matildas becoming the fi rst senior Australian team to make a World Cup semifinal. The 50-year-old began his career as a lower-league player in Swedish football before switching to coaching. Tony says it's “family, friends and football” that make him happy, which means his players get to keep their loved ones close, even when they're training. In fact, the coach invited Tameka Yallop and Katrina Gorry's daughters, Harley, three, and Harper, two, into their camp – a move that some have suggested was the Matildas’ secret weapon. “Just having young kids, whether they're having a laugh or throwing a tantrum, you forget about football for a minute and it's relaxing,” says Tameka. “It pulls everyone…

HOT OFF THE PRESS Having an estimated net worth of $426 million hasn't stopped Hollywood A-list couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis from putting up their pad on Airbnb! The pair took to Instagram recently to announce that they've listed their Santa Barbara beach house on the homestay rental website for a one-night stay for four lucky guests! Ashton, 45, and Mila, 40, who share daughter Wyatt, eight, and son Dimitri, six, call the place their “home away from home”. “Especially when we're in need of some R&R (you fellow parents know what we're talking about),” Ashton writes. The two-bedroom, twobathroom abode is just “steps from the beach” and features a full kitchen, spacious dining and living areas and a massive hot tub that offers panoramic views of the Santa…

Celebrity news HOT OFF THE PRESS Sweet holiday romance He only split from his fiancee earlier this year, but billionaire Rupert Murdoch has already found a new love. The media mogul, who was briefly engaged to Ann Lesley Smith not so long ago, was recently snapped taking a holiday on a luxury yacht alongside his latest romantic interest, retired scientist Elena Zhukova, 66. When it comes to matters of the heart, the 92-year-old media mogul is keeping friends and family on their toes. He surprised many in March by announcing his plans to wed Ann, 66, a former dental hygienist. However, he cancelled the betrothal just two weeks later, due to Anne's strong religious views.

Sources say the 30-year-old star has a lot more to add since her 2009 memoir Miles To Go, but it will be her relationship with Liam, 33, that takes centrestage. “Miley's been encouraged by Britney Spears’ upcoming book, and she can't wait to see just how far she was able to go,” says an insider. “Miley has a lot to say about the most signifi cant relationship of her life so far and she's gone through loads of therapy to get a better understanding of what went wrong. “She…

Following Eddie McGuire's shock confi rmation that Millionaire Hot Seat is set to be shelved for the forseeable future, the long-running game show will be replaced with an Aussie version of the popular UK show Tipping Point. Launching in 2009, Hot Seat is Australia's longest-running quiz show, however stagnant ratings and the increasing popularity of Seven's The Chase has given Nine executives headaches. “Eddie is happy to hang up his Hot Seat hat – he has so many other TV irons in the fi re and he doesn't have to be tied to the fi lming schedule,” says an insider. Nine's new-look Tipping Point is set to start fi lming in October, and rumour has it a host has already been chosen – former Aussie tennis champion Todd Woodbridge, 52!…

On August 25, Harry, along with his girlfriend Tess Brookman – who he met on the 2022 season of Farmer Wants A Wife – is asking people to “sport a fl anno” and support our struggling farmers. The Flanno for a Farmer campaign is raising funds for Chinchilla-based charity Drought Angels, which provides assistance to farming families across Australia. “This hits home for me,” Harry, 25, tells Woman's Day. “Growing up in the millennial drought, it was a bit rough – Mum used to say the only time we'd get a lunch order at school was if it rained. “Similar organisations…

Be well with Woman's Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU 10-page MANAGING MENOPAUSE special Women's health has traditionally been under-researched, but as the focus starts to shift we're starting to realise that the change of life is much more complicated than many of us thought. For one thing, menopause doesn't happen in just one act but in three. Here we take you through each of them… 1 PERIMENOPAUSE As our ovaries wind down, our sex hormones also begin to peter out – but not before taking us on one last rollercoaster ride. This is known as perimenopause, and while it lasts an average of five years, it can range from just a few months to a decade. This can be a turbulent time, although it may take…

Be well with Woman's Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU MANAGING MENOPAUSE special Social stigmas have often prevented women from sharing stories about menopause in the past, but as a new generation embarks on the change, they're learning that it's much better to talk. “Menopause affects all aspects of a woman's life – her partner, her children, her family and her work,” says Natalie Martin, founder and CEO of Menopause Alliance Australia. “This conversation must be normalised so that future generations are not discriminated against or adversely affected, and so that no woman is left behind.” TV presenter Shelly Horton created “one-stop shop” website Don't Sweat It with Dr Ginni Mansberg to raise awareness about perimenopause and menopause in the workplace. “Once you start talking about it,…

CHOOSE NATURAL FABRICS Feeling the heat? Then opt for natural, breathable fabrics like cotton, silk and linen. During the warmer months, tanks or T-shirts in moisturewicking fabrics help to soak up the sweats. HANG LOOSE Make long floaty, dresses and kaftans a wardrobe staple. Opt for body skimming, forgiving fabrics and designs that nip in flatteringly in all the right places. Avoid very rigid fabrics, or tent-like styles. LOVE TO LAYER Whether you're dressing for everyday or formal occasions, light layers mean you can peel off a jumper or coat if things heat up. If you want something more “put together”, a blouse or a co-ordinating piece is a great option. WATCH WAISTLINES These days, elastic waistbands can tick both the cool and the comfortable box. In fact, high-waisted pants…

What's in season is generally what's going to be cheap and also the best quality at the same time. Go-to meal for feeding the family?

Even dedicated royals need to let their hair down from time to time, and that's exactly what the Princess of Wales did recently – attending her fi rst-ever festival! Kate, 41, was believed to be at her friend Rose Hanbury's Norfolk estate for dinner recently when her friends encouraged her to attend the Houghton Festival, which is described as Britain's only 24-hour music event. The festival was being held at Houghton Hall, the 40-hectare property owned by Rose, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, and husband David, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley.

Celebrity news She's made it through some of her darkest hours with her partner of six years Sam Asghari by her side, but Britney Spears is heartbroken after their marriage crumbled just over a year after their “dream” wedding. The sad split is especially hard on the 41-year-old singer as it means she also has to let go of her long-held hopes of having another baby. “It's a double heartbreak because she dreamed of having a family with Sam,” an insider tells Woman's Day. “She's very angry that he didn't seem interested in trying to fix the situation, but this has been going on for a while. She had no choice but to pull the plug.” Britney's long-running mental health issues have been publicly documented, often aired as she fought…

With Jason Derulo proving to be a hit with viewers on The Voice Australia, Woman's Day hears that our own homegrown pop sensation Guy Sebastian isn't as excited about his fellow coach! “Guy was more comfortable with Keith [Urban],” our network spy tells us, adding that the Battle Scars singer would be feeling the pressure as contestants fl ock to Jason, 33, particularly as he's a megastar on social media platform TikTok, and has more contacts internationally than 41-year-old Guy. It all came to a head when Guy superfan Caitlyn Bamber shockingly chose Jason over the Australian star, despite her auditioning with his hit song Before I Go. Adding salt to the wound, our sleuth says Guy would also “not be thrilled” that Jason has recently collaborated with fellow coach…

Former South Australian Major Crime Squad detective Bill Hayes explains that significant evidence is being explored by his former colleagues that could finally provide a breakthrough. “This particular case, I believe, is solvable,” the retired policeman turned private detective tells Woman's Day. “There is evidence that will point the finger directly at some people and the man who is my strongest suspect.” On Saturday, August 25, 1973, fouryearold Kirste and Joanne, 11, were attending a football game with family members at Adelaide Oval when they left their seats to go to…

Farah has been part of the social enterprise SisterWorks – a not-for-profit organisation in Hume, Melbourne, offering migrant and refugee women training, education and support – for nearly five years.

From the very beginning of this epic Women's World Cup, Sam Kerr carried the expectations of the nation on her shoulders. And despite the Matildas’ crushing semifinal defeat, her golden goal in the 63rd minute had the whole of Australia bursting with pride. Reflecting on our national team's incredible performances, the star striker wants the country to know how much the past few weeks have meant to her. “We're all just really proud of each other and just wish we could've got over the line,” she said last week. “But no matter what happens, I wouldn't want to be on any other team.

The 70-year-old said of her last “horrendous” procedure, “I really… pushed it with the last facelift and I am now like, no more.” But an insider says, “Sharon's never looked like a frail old lady before, and now fans are really worried about her.” Sharon has talked about taking weightloss drug Ozempic, but that doesn't account for her new-look face. “She's gone through so much – Ozzy's health being top of the stress list, and getting cancelled from US TV.

She will never work again,” Glenn, 65, revealed in his bombshell interview to 3AW. “[And] Jane lives in Italy, and so we had our time together.” The revelation is sure to upset the millions of fans who love the show, yet it hasn't deterred Magda Szubanski, who slipped back into her character Sharon Strzelecki…

When the Duchess of Sussex was spotted recently wearing a $6 NuCalm anti-stress patch while out and about in California, many assumed she was simply spruiking a new wellness partnership. But there could be a genuine reason she's been under more stress than usual lately, with online commentators speculating that she may have been visiting a marriage therapist's office when she was seen wearing the device. An insider tells Woman's Day that there have been some cracks in Meghan and Harry's five-year marriage. “Meghan's stress levels are off the charts right now and she's doing what she can to cope. They're getting slammed, and after the Spotify fallout, the Sussexes have become a walking punchline,” says the source. “She knows Harry is restless and unhappy in California but she doesn't…

But the Daisy Jones & The Six star admits “there was a lot of chaos in every aspect of our lives” after her mother's passing in January at the age of 54. “Everything felt like the carpet had been ripped out and the floor had melted from under us,” says the 34-year-old actress. “Everyone was in a bit of a panic to understand how we move forward, and it just took a minute to understand the details of the situation, because it's complicated. “We are a family, but there's also…

TV update WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

For Real Housewives fanatics, Terry Biviano's appearance on the Sydney reboot was a no-brainer. However, the 48-year-old reality starlet reveals her husband, retired rugby league superstar Anthony Minichiello, wasn't so enthused. “My husband was probably the most hesitant,” she told the media recently. “But he supports me no matter what [and] ultimately, he left the decision up to me and I've made my bed, so now I have to lay in it.” While adding that her hubby is “all good with it now”, she admits conversations were “a bit daunting to begin with”. Terry will appear alongside former The Daily Edition presenter Sally Obermeder and returning Sydney Housewives Krissy Marsh and Nicole O'Neil for the revitalised series, which was given the boot in 2017 after being deemed too nasty by…

Insomnia, mood swings, the increased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis – menopause makes you feel like a hormonal teenager again, except with wrinkles instead of pimples. What's worse, women have to suffer the whole ordeal in silence. When I started having my own weather, aged 53, I had no idea what was happening to me. Women need to know they're not alone and that their symptoms are normal. The biggest shock of menopause has been the positive side effects. What a joy to never again make that angst-ridden dash to the pharmacy for urine testing kits or morningafter pills. You're also liberated from those desperate gropes at the bottom of lint-fi lled handbags for that emergency tampon. But the best aspect of menopause is that it gives a woman…
