Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 36, 2025 i Woman's Day

Kerri-Anne is a TV icon who has been on our screens for the best part of 50 years. Ten years ago she appeared in Woman’s Day in her bikini, looking incredible. On the eve of her 72nd birthday, she sat down with our News Writer Harry to reflect on the experience, and talk about how her approach to health and fitness has changed over the years (p16). She’s still the KAK we know and love – and still as fabulous as ever. The team is getting excited about The Amazing Race, which will hit screens this week. We spoke to three of the teams (p22) about their adventures and how their relationships fared under the stress of travelling around the world. Who will you be cheering for?

With the palace making frantic preparations for Prince Harry’s anticipated visit to see King Charles, sources reveal the Princess of Wales is also seeking a top-secret meeting with her estranged brother-in-law in hope of healing the fraternal rift with her husband, Prince William. “Kate’s willing to do anything she can to end this feud,” says an insider. “It’s torn the family apart and she doesn’t want the next generation – her kids or their cousins – to be carrying this on their shoulders. She’s convinced a face-to-face with Harry - who she hears has been dropping hints about wanting to return home for a while now – will make a difference. “Aside from giving him a piece of her mind, she wants to help him come home and the only…

Amal Clooney, 47, made sure she looked showstopping at the Venice Film Festival but insiders say it was a ploy to detract attention away from her husband, George Clooney! The actor, 64, who pulled out of Telluride Film Festival days earlier due to a sinus infection, told reporters on the Venice carpet that he “can’t speak” before cutting short a press junket and skipping dinner with the crew of new movie Jay Kelly. “Amal’s genuinely worried about him. He shouldn’t have gone to Venice while he was still unwell and now it’s gotten worse. George has had a lot of health issues over the years, but these days he seems to catch every cough and sniffle going around,” a source says. “She was against him going on stage in front…

If we ever needed an illustration that Kevin Costner has a type, his new girlfriend is living proof! The actor, 70, has moved on from his bitter divorce from ex Christine Baumgartner and is now dating a billionaire’s ex-wife, director Kelly Noonan Gores. “Kelly’s seriously one of the nicest people you could meet,” tells a friend, who reveals the pair have spent time together in Aspen and share the same circle of friends. “Obviously Christine [his ex] is staying away from Kevin’s little happy scene, but his seven kids are relieved to see him so happy after a couple of very unsettling and heartbreaking years. “It’s early days, but Kevin’s very happy with Kelly – its given him a new lease on life.”…

It’s been a decade since Kerri-Anne Kennerley bared all for her phenomenal bikini photoshoot with Woman’s Day. But when asked if she’d recreate the iconic shoot, KAK, in her trademark straight shooting style, declares, “No!” “Trust me, the body doesn’t look the same as it did 10 years ago because we all know every decade we change mentally, emotionally and physically,” the 71-year-old television icon tells Woman’s Day. It was Kerri-Anne’s late husband John who convinced her to get back into a bikini after 20 years, for our shoot in 2015. “My first reaction was no way, but John really encouraged me to do it because he knows how hard I worked to become this fit – it’s not always easy and it does take commitment,” she revealed at the…

Fans have been calling out for him to return. And now The Block’s Keith Schleiger has obliged. “Workplace snacks are way more important than being foreman of The Block,” the 51-year-old tells Woman’s Day of his latest role as Aussie ice-cream icon Golden Gaytime’s first-ever Foreman of Workplace Hunger. “We can’t have Australian workers hungry on the job. And this frozen sandwich, The Slab, they’ve brought out is amazing. It fills you up, it’s tasty, it’s just the perfect snack for work.” Keith says he was keen to get back on the building site for the campaign, after quitting The Block in 2024. “I do miss parts of The Block, but I’m enjoying having no alarm clock. I wake up when I want and I can work around my family.…

Robin Wright is spilling on her on-and-off 14-year marriage to ex Sean Penn, and the Forrest Gump star is getting candid about her biggest regrets along the way. Robin and Mystic River star Sean tied the knot in 1996, seven years after the actor split from Madonna. The pair went on to welcome a daughter, Dylan Frances Penn, and a son, Hopper Jack Penn, before an acrimonious split in 2010. “It turns out it’s a lot quicker to repair a friendship after divorce if there are not kids involved,” Sean told The New York Times in 2024. “It took Robin and I quite a while. There was a lot of drama.” Robin has now given a rare insight into the former couple’s family life in an interview with The Times,…

This week, mushroom murderer Erin Patterson finally learns her fate and how long she’ll spend behind bars. Her defence team have accepted that Patterson, 50, will be handed a sentence of at least 30 years in jail for her crimes and it appears she will likely die in prison. She has 28 days after sentencing to formally lodge an appeal. But she could also be heading back to court for another reason. As a victim of his estranged wife’s shocking crimes, Simon Patterson is allowed to pursue financial compensation via the legal process, and criminal defence lawyer Ruth Parker believes he has a strong chance of a payout. “Having his parents and aunt killed [and] also the fact his estranged wife is the offender, Simon’s had to deal with the…

The actress, 36, in town for the lauded Venice Film Festival, was with husband Ben Smith-Petersen, 34, and their three-year-old daughter Tupelo when she was seen carrying the little bundle of joy. While the identity of the baby is yet unknown and Riley’s reps haven’t commented, the actress previously revealed she used a surrogate when she had Tupelo because she suffers from Lyme disease and hoped that it would prevent any autoimmune complications. “I think it’s a very cool, selfless and incredible act that these women do to help other people,’ she told Vanity Fair.…

Drama ahead Nine and The Block cast assured viewers there would be no bullying this year – after the backlash they received following the controversial 2023 and 2024 seasons, which many said went too far. In fact, viewers found the behaviour of some contestants so toxic in 2023 that they made official complaints about the show to media authorities. So it seemed this year they were starting with a clean slate – 2025 contestant Ben, 32, told Woman’s Day ahead of its debut this cast was drama-free. “Not at all,” he said of the prospect of any cattiness. “This year was great. All the cast were 10 out of 10.” “We’re all besties,” added his wife Emma, 33. But the current onscreen clashes would suggest otherwise. And some viewers have…

MINGUS REEDUS The only child of supermodel Helena Christensen and actor Norman Reedus was arrested in New York in August 2025, and charged with assaulting a woman. The model and musician, 25, pleaded not guilty, with his lawyer Priya Chaudhry saying his “innocence will become clear”. In 2021 it was also alleged he had assaulted a woman but he later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. ELIJAH BLUE ALLMAN Elijah was born to Cher and late rocker Gregg Allman in 1976, but in 2023 the Believe singer sought to become a conservator of her son’s estate because of his “severe mental health and substance abuse issues”. Cher later dropped the petition but it wasn’t the end of the saga, with Elijah, 48, rushed to hospital in June 2025 after reports he…

Wrongly convicted of the deaths of her four children, Kathleen Folbigg was finally freed on June 5, 2023, after years of appeals and two judicial reviews, without being given any prior warning. She was then taken to her good friend and longtime supporter Tracy Chapman’s home to start a new life. Here, in an exclusive extract from the new book written by both women, Kathleen, 58, recalls the surreal day she was pardoned and freed. “It was time,” Kathleen tells Woman's Day, about why she and Tracy decided to write Inside Out. “I’ve been out of prison for over two years now, and we needed to share that change is needed, current systems don’t seem to be working. In my case, and in many others, if you’re inside for something…

Julia Roberts is leading the charge when it comes to supporting her friend Bruce Willis, who is living with frontotemporal dementia. A friend has revealed the Pretty Woman star, 57, has been secretly visiting the Die Hard star, 70, whenever she can and if she can’t see him in person, “she’ll leave a long voice message for Bruce that his wife Emma will play for him in the hope it will trigger happy memories and bring a smile to his face”. Julia and Bruce starred in The Player together in 1992, with a friend sharing, “During Julia’s early years in the business, Bruce was so kind to her, like a big brother.” Last week, Bruce’s wife Emma Heming Willis was forced to defend herself after she revealed she’s made the…

A month after Gogglebox’s Emmie Silbery sadly passed away from dementia, her daughter Kerry has penned a moving tribute to the late TV star, revealing her mum’s incredible life and final moments. “We were the three amigos,” Kerry says of the beloved star, who sat on the famed couch with Kerry and granddaughter Isabelle. “Mum suffered a lot of trauma in her long life. I loved being with her so much I used to wag school to come home and we’d watch Ivan Hutchinson’s Midday Movie together,” she says of Emmie, who had “an open and cheeky attitude” and who worked as a nurse. Two-and-a-half years after her dementia diagnosis, Emmie, 96, died, while listening to her favourite Dolly Parton songs. “She said to [us], ‘I need to hang up…

With the explosive Netflix series Fit For TV: The Reality Of The Biggest Loser hitting screens, former local host Ajay Rochester and contestant Holly Bennett are telling all about the Aussie version. According to Ajay, 56, who famously feuded with co-star and trainer Michelle Bridges, 54, the show was “toxic” and the threat of a contestant dying hung over them. “I don’t think they intentionally set out to risk people’s lives, but I think through trying to do it under such extremes in an environment that there weren’t really any rules, it was the Wild West,” Ajay spilled to the Kyle & Jackie O Show. She also claimed contestants were forced into having secret surgeries and starving themselves, while Holly says it was so bad she developed an eating disorder…

Margaret is my joy.” CORONATION 1953 Elizabeth was just 27 when she became Queen following her father’s death. In a televised speech after the coronation, she told the nation, “I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service.” It was a promise the monarch would stay faithful to until the very end of her long life. BABY BOOM After Elizabeth fell for the dashing Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, the pair married and soon welcomed two children – Charles and Anne.
