This week Woman’s Day had the very special joy of pulling together a beautiful feature with the Barnes family, specifically newlyweds Eliza-Jane and her husband Jimmy. You can see the gorgeous wedding album on page 26. Elsewhere, we speak to the incredibly inspiring Heather Maddern, who, at 80, is giving her gym mates a run for their money with her impressive strength and dedication to weightlifting. It’s stories like hers that make me think I should be doing more about my health. There is something so intimidating about the gym, but after seeing Heather take to those deadlifts, I feel empowered to bite the bullet and give it a go. With autumn here, please enjoy our recipes this week, with a special focus on feeling good! Joshua Joynes, Editor…

Alec Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter as he faces court over the death of Halyna Hutchins. The 42-year-old cinematographer was killed after a loaded gun, held by Alec, 65, was fired at her on the set of western film Rust in 2021. A grand jury indicted the actor last month after prosecutors received a new analysis of the revolver he was using during filming. Alec’s lawyers have called the prosecution “misguided”. Last week, a New Mexico jury found Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 26, guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal on-set shooting.…

After his shock split from wife whom he shares daughters Harriet, Teigan Power in 2022, former NRL star Alex McKinnon has revealed he’s moved on with a new woman. The 32-year-old shared a picture of him and 22-year-old social worker Lily Malone cuddling up together in matching pink outfits. The pair – who are believed to have met at The University of Newcastle, where she is studying social work and he is studying psychology – posed together at Lily’s 22nd birthday bash. “Good on him,” commented one fan of the news. “Wish them both happiness,” added another. Despite finding new love, the one-time Newcastle Knights player – whose footy career was cut short in 2014 by a spinal injury he suffered on the field – has revealed he is…

Our fave kids TV stars Only in Woman’s Day When the cork pops from a bottle of champagne, former children’s TV host Marilyn Mayo’s face lights up and she beams her famous smile. “It’s been a totally hellish four years, but made all the more tolerable thanks to the love of close friends, the unstinting dedication of my two stepdaughters, Lillian and Katrina, plus a cheeky glass of wine or champagne,” smiles the Logie-winning TV queen who enchanted countless kids in the ’70s as Miss Marilyn on The Super Flying Fun Show. ‘My showbiz mantra was keep smiling no matter what happens’ As she settles in to give her first interview in over a decade, Marilyn explains that her health ordeal began in May, 2020. She was at her inner-city…

After first dating as teenagers and then reconnecting with the former champion swimmer years later, it’s now being reported by The Sydney Morning Herald that Patrick Cogan is married to Lane. Patrick was present in support of Lane during her 2010 trial and reportedly kept in constant communication with her via letters and prison visits over the years. In 2019, the pair were said to be planning a wedding, according to prison insiders. In NSW, inmates can apply to be married inside a correctional facility, although conjugal visits are generally not permitted. In another new report, journalist Libby-Jane Charleston has revealed Lane insisted on telling her she was innocent of killing baby Tegan, during a visit to Dillwynia prison in 2016. “When I asked her, ‘Keli, did you do anything to…

After going Instagram official and moving in together, Joe Manganiello is reportedly ready to take another big step with his girlfriend Cailtin O’Connor – starting a family! Joe’s ex Sofia Vergara confirmed in January that she and the Magic Mike star split last year because “he wanted to have kids and I didn’t”.

Fans are claiming poor Jennifer Lopez may be “banned” from spending time with husband Ben Affleck’s kids whenever his ex-wife Jennifer Garner is around! Ben and Jen, both 51, reunited twice in a week – with J.Lo, 54, nowhere to be seen – as they celebrated son Samuel’s 12th birthday at his school and another at Disneyland.

Sources say Geri Horner was left blindsided as she flew in to support her embattled husband Christian at the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix. According to reports, the series of sexually suggestive WhatsApp messages between the F1 boss and a female employee were leaked while the former Spice Girl was in the air. And while they kissed for the cameras, a body language expert claims the stars were putting on a front amid the scandal. “His smile looks performed and awkward while hers only involves a curling upward of the lips with no eye smile,” they said. While Geri, 51, is yet to comment on the claims of misconduct against her husband, which he was cleared of on February 28, Christian, 50, has since sung the praises of Geri for standing…

He may be the reigning king of brekkie TV, but in a bombshell move, Karl Stefanovic could be set to buddy up with Hollywood megastar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to take the game of rugby league all the way to the United States! After months of speculation, the presenter and self-confessed sports tragic has confirmed he’s dropped a truckload of cash and invested big in a proposed US Super League. Those close to Karl, 49, say he is “convinced” this could be his golden exit ticket after almost 20 years co-hosting Today, and some sources say a permanent move to Sin City is not off the table. “Karl makes no secret he wants a piece of the American dream, and this could be his time to shine after investing in…

Groom Ben Walters has found Ben left fans cringi himself in the crosshairs of one of Australia’s biggest names in music, Guy Sebastian, after the pair exchanged barbs on social media over their musical ability. It all went down after Guy, 42, poked fun at Ben’s songwriting in the comments section of an interview with Ben, 39, recently. “I’m disappointed you guys didn’t talk about his incredible songwriting skills,’ the Battle Scars hitmaker quipped sarcastically underneath the interview. Ben left fans cringing when he wrote a song to his wife Ellie Dix, 32, on the show in a bid to apologise to her. “I’ve been unaware of my f**ked-up behaviours until you pointed them out on that couch and I just wanted to say thanks,” the lyrics featured. However, in…

It’s official – octogenarian and threetime cancer survivor Heather Maddern is the world’s strongest great-grandma. In December, Heather set multiple Australian and world powerlifting records when she deadlifted a whopping 80kg at a competition. “If anyone had told me 12 months ago I’d be lifting 80 kilograms and setting a world record, I’d never have believed them,” the 80-year-old tells Woman’s Day from her Brisbane home. “But powerlifting has given me a new lease of life.” The Mater Private Hospital Redland patient, who also has Parkinson’s disease, only began strength training last April. “I needed something to inspire me and give me that zest for living again,” she explains. After 21 weeks of chemotherapy and 25 doses of radiation, and having 20 lymph nodes surgically removed, Heather wanted to feel…

Inside her fears... AMANDA SAYS Zoey comes through and tells me she is living. She lives with her mummy and her non-related fur brother Paulie, who is just a laid-back fella. Zoey is relaxed when outside but very nervous indoors. I think at her previous home she was not allowed inside at all. Another very big dog comes through, and he looks like a dingo crossed with a Great Dane. He brings through Susan’s brother and mother. Susan’s brother tells me he passed suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack at just 50. Susan’s brother brings through a much-loved cat named Pickles, who lived until she was about 16. The big dog comes through again – he knows he was and still is Susan’s soulmate. Zoey tells me she really…

British author Bobby Palmer’s Isaac And The Egg was one of our favourite reads last year. And in his follow-up, Small Hours, he adopts the same magical elements to an otherwise simple story about a father and a son struggling to mend their fractured relationship. Here, Bobby chats with us about the process behind writing his second novel, how his life has changed since the fanfare of his debut and why he never thought he’d become a novelist. Tell us about your journey with Small Hours... It came out of two things – the world going into lockdown and my own moving out of London. Both made me think a lot about the pace of modern life, and about our relationship with the old, slow, natural world. So I decided…

Actor Stephen Baldwin sparked fears for his daughter Hailey and her husband Justin Bieber when he asked fans to “offer a little prayer” for the couple. “There are special challenges that folks in high visibility positions face,” he added. According to reports, Justin, 30, and Hailey, 27, are indeed dealing with a “private issue” and are annoyed that her dad made their problem public. It’s prompted bizarre theories online, with fans speculating the couple could be dealing with everything from marriage issues to infertility and childhood abuse. But Hailey has since silenced speculation by sharing a birthday post for her husband, calling him “the love of my life, for life”.…

Dolly Parton is racing to save the Cyrus family from implosion after recent bombshell allegations threaten to tear them apart forever. In a bizarre report published by US Weekly, a source claims that Tish Cyrus, 56, had begun dating her now-husband, Australian actor Dominic Purcell, 54, after he was involved with her 24-year-old daughter Noah! “Noah was [seeing] Dominic when Tish started pursuing him,” a source told the publication, adding that Tish “was aware of this when she began to contact the star”. FAMILY DRAMA Since then, the claims have been refuted, with another source confirming to the media that “Noah never dated Dominic and they were not together”. “Noah has always craved attention because she did not get it growing up. She is delusional to think otherwise and is…

Absence makes the heart grow fonder isn’t just a throwaway line in Edwina Bartholomew’s home. The news presenter is the living embodiment of it, bravely revealing that she and husband Neil Varcoe have taken the leap and decided to live apart. “My husband lives three hours away, and it’s fantastic,” says Eddy in a revealing Stellar chat. “We are not just talking about separate bedrooms here, but separate houses in entirely different postcodes. “We are a drive-in, drive-out family and, surprisingly, it really works.” The couple made the “crazy” decision to live apart after selling their Sydney home and buying up a crumbling 177-year-old pub in Carcoar, Central NSW, with the aim of transforming it into a boutique hotel. Eddy, 40, spends weekdays in Sydney on Sunrise and handles mum…

Only in Woman’s Day There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Jimmy Barnes – still recovering from his close brush with death – walked daughter Eliza-Jane down the aisle to marry the love of her life, musician Jimmy Metherell. Nobody cried harder than the Working Class Man himself. Desperately ill in ICU just before Christmas, Jimmy, 67, feared he wouldn’t make it through a life-threatening infection and open heart surgery, let alone survive to give away his adored “EJ”. “There were a lot of tears, a lot of emotion for everyone, but a lot of laughter as well. Tears and joy and music,” smiles singer-songwriter EJ. “It was just a great celebration of love, and we were so happy to have Dadda in such fine form for our…

A new investigation into convicted killer Keli Lane’s alleged “inappropriate behaviour” has cast doubt on her chance of freedom just weeks before she was due to be eligible for parole. Lane, 48, had almost completed her 13-and-a-halfyear minimum sentence for killing her newborn daughter Tegan, when prison authorities last month swooped on her workplace and caught her with a mobile phone. She was sent back to Silverwater women’s prison while investigations continue. STRICT CONDITIONS “Living in a transitional centre is a privilege, underpinned by the good behaviour of the inmate, and their adherence to strict conditions,” a spokeswoman for Corrective Services NSW said. “If an inmate is suspected of behaviour that contravenes these conditions, an investigation is launched, and the offender can be returned to prison.” In November, Lane began…

Q I miss my parents very much – they have both passed. How can I tell if they are around me? Can you please tell me what my future holds? Alison MITCHELL SAYS I feel your parents are coming through together from the spirit world. They tell me they are immensely proud and love you more than words can describe. Your parents tell me they often visit you, and they have been especially close to you over the past year at the times when you’ve felt you needed their support the most. Your parents tell me you will make a few changes in your life over the coming and feelings you’ve been having. If you notice a familiar scent or a perfume that reminds you of your parents or find…

While he’s been terrorising The Chase contestants in the US for several years now, Brandon Blackwell, aka The Lightning Bolt, is gearing up to face off with a slew of brave Aussies on The Chase Australia this month. And even though the 41-year-old admitted he needs to brush up on his local knowledge, the New York native appears to have the ultimate ally (and tour guide) in his corner – Mara Lejins aka The Smiling Assassin! The pair met while Mara was studying at Columbia University in New York in 2022. She had recently been hired to star on The Chase Australia and a producer reached out to see if she’d like to hang out with a star who was on the US version while she was there. “I’m so…
