As we approach the second Ashes Test, it’s fair to say much of the country is glued to the TV. But behind the scenes, things aren’t smooth sailing. We’ve got all the inside gossip on the war of the WAGs – and reveal how a statue is at the centre of the upset (p18). Also this week, our News Editor, Emma, spoke to Cheryl Grimmer’s brother, Ricki (p32). He was just seven years old when his sister disappeared from Fairy Meadow Beach in 1970, but he’s never stopped fighting for a resolution to the cold case. His moving words show just how important the sibling bond is. With only three weeks until Christmas, our air fryer special (p68) is here to make your day quick, easy and stress-free. Enjoy!

They professed their love to each other during that romantic – and windy – Golden Bachelor finale. But is Barry “Bear” Myrden and Sunny Long’s whirlwind relationship already over? Since their slew of publicity interviews the day after the finale aired on Sunday, November 9, the couple haven’t been seen together in public since. And while Bear, 61, seems to have gone underground, Sunny, 58, isn’t letting the heartbreak get to her, with the vivacious CEO spotted out and about without the silver fox by her side. Most notably, Sunny was spied walking the red carpet at the Sydney premiere for Fallout solo. And while she still sported the diamond sparkler which was gifted to her by Bear, we couldn’t help but notice it was on her middle finger instead.…

Tennis legend Boris Becker has welcomed his first child with his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro! The 58-year-old Wimbledon champion shared the news on Instagram late last week, showing a black and white image of his newborn daughter’s tiny hand being caressed by him and Lilian. He also revealed the little one’s name in the caption, writing: “Welcome to the world… Zoe Vittoria Becker. 21.11.2025.” While this is Boris’ first with his 34-year-old wife Lilian, he is certainly no stranger to fatherhood, with Zoe being his fifth child. He shares two sons, Noah, 31, and Elias, 26, with his first wife Barbara, daughter Anna, 25, with Russian model Angela Ermakova – following a one-night stand – and son Amadeus, 15, with his second wife Lilly.…

Only in Woman’s Day As they lovingly flip through a treasure trove of beautiful photos from their 2023 Gold Coast beach wedding, entertainment legend Normie Rowe – Australia’s original King of Pop – smiles as he reveals it took five proposals to finally get the love of his life down the aisle! “Every time I said, ‘Will you marry me?’ Sammy thought it was a joke. The first time I proposed I was in a singlet and boxer shorts, to which she quipped, ‘Where’s the champagne?’” laughs the ever upbeat Normie. “Finally, and several years on, I steered her into a jewellers while proposing for a fifth time. “Sammy saw I meant it and said yes immediately. We both burst into tears of joy,” shares Normie, 78. FRIENDS FIRST As…

Just when she should be celebrating being officially divorced from Dean McDermott, Tori Spelling has been hit with another blow. The actress and her ex-husband owe a staggering $2.6 million in unpaid federal and state taxes, with the sum revealed as part of the final judgement in the couple’s divorce. Tori, 52, will be responsible for $929,000 of the federal tax debt. “Tori’s a wreck right now and has no idea how she’s going to pay this back,” a source spills to Woman’s Day. “The worst part is that even if she declares bankruptcy, tax debt can’t be wiped. So she’s got to figure some way of not only raising those five kids, keeping them all housed, figure out a career move that keeps everything afloat and somehow chip away…

Ines de Ramon and Brad Pitt have been quietly dating for nearly four years, with the couple already said to be talking about getting married! But while the glamorous jewellery designer, 32, is ready to walk down the aisle as soon as Brad, 61, pops the question, sources reveal that those closest to her are doing everything they can to stop it from happening. “Ines would marry Brad in a heartbeat – it’s her friends and family that are worried,” a source spills to Woman’s Day, adding that a particular alleged incident between Brad and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie in 2016 has her family most concerned. “Anyone can go and read those court documents and that’s enough to have more than a few worried. But she’s obsessively in love and…

While the boys in the Baggy Greens continue to celebrate after a thumping first Ashes Test victory in Perth up against arch rivals England, Woman’s Day can now exclusively reveal that behind the scenes the current crop of young WAGs are getting ready to wage war with none other than their former queen, Candice Warner, 40! And our well-placed source confirms this latest upset in the WAGs camp has nothing to do with who has the latest designer handbag. Rather, it’s all to do with which former…

When Princess Diana appeared on BBC’s Panorama and declared, “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” the watching world was stunned. Everyone, that is, except writer Andrew Morton. It was November 20, 1995. Three years prior, the biographer had brought out his seismic book Diana: Her True Story. It caused a sensation but, until Diana repeated many of the book’s revelations on air, he’d been accused of making it up. CHANGING HISTORY “I was thrilled, because Panorama totally endorsed the contents of my book, which had been rubbished – people didn’t want to believe it,” Andrew says from his home in California. “So it transformed me into being the grand old man of royal biography.” The scandal of how interviewer Martin Bashir secured…

Only in Woman’s Day The emotion in Ricki Nash’s voice is palpable as he tells Woman’s Day why he will never give up trying to expose the truth about what happened to his little sister, Cheryl Grimmer, and bringing her killer to justice. “It’s Cheryl that keeps pushing me and helps me fight this,” says Ricki. “I made a terrible mistake and I’ve had to live with that, but it’s her that’s forgiven me and keeps pushing me to get the answers, not just for me, but for our family.” A TERRIBLE MISTAKE The “terrible mistake” Ricki alludes to was part of a series of events that led to the disappearance of three-year-old Cheryl that took place when he was just seven. Ricki, along with his younger brothers, Paul, then…

Keith Urban has fallen hard. The country star has gone from the Oscar red carpet to playing his old hits for rich folk at Mar-a-Lago parties – and friends say he’s having big regrets over his shock split from soon-to-be ex-wife Nicole Kidman. Since announcing their divorce in September, Keith, 58, has thrown himself into work, filming the second season of The Road with Blake Shelton, playing his usual Vegas residency, and – in a move that’s stunned Hollywood – quietly accepting private gigs for US President Donald Trump’s inner circle. Taking anything he can Sources close to the singer say he’s becoming “more and more isolated” and “doesn’t care what people think”. “He’s got to pay the bills – and divorce lawyers don’t come cheap,” says a pal of…

They’ve kept fans guessing as to their relationship status, but insiders say Meryl Streep and Martin Short are well on the way to walking down the aisle – and Tom Hanks wants to officiate! “It’s become a bit of a joke among their friends as to when they might get married, to the point that the truth will surprise them,” says an insider. “Meryl [76] and Martin [75] are already secretly engaged. They agreed that if they’re still going strong by winter, they’ll give marriage another try, and boy does their marriage look fun. They’re inseparable – all their kids want this.

Virgin billionaire Sir Richard Branson is “heartbroken” following the news that his long-term wife, Joan Templeman, has died at the age of 80. The airline tycoon, 75, who had been partner to Joan for 50 years, confirmed the devastating update on November 25 via social media, calling her “my best friend, my rock, my guiding light”. He did not disclose the cause of death. “She was the most wonderful mum and grandmum our kids and grandkids could have ever wished for. Love you forever, Joan,” he shared. Richard and Joan married in 1989 after a long courtship that began in the 1970s, when Richard was living on a houseboat and she was working in an antiques shop. In a blog post uploaded in 2020, Richard recalled falling for Joan “almost…

Talent runs in the family Since their 2012 London Olympics performance, Victoria Beckham has shunned any prospects of another Spice Girls reunion in order to focus on her luxury fashion label. However, amid that her fashion and makeup brand might be up for sale, could Victoria, 51, be set to hang up her designer gig to slip into Posh’s old little black dress? “Victoria’s been toying with selling her business since 2023, when it lost a whopping $6 million. It’s sadly turned out to be a real money pit, with David propping it up with $12 million each year since,” a source spills to Woman’s Day. “Selling her business and going on tour with the Spice Girls again is a necessary cash grab. There’s even talk of going back into…

You're in my heart! They’re known for their wild lifestyle full of A-list parties and endless travel. But have decades spent living life in the fast lane begun to take their toll on Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster’s seemingly perfect marriage? Sources tell that while Penny, 54, is still eager to keep up their fast-paced way of life, 80-year-old Rod’s work-oriented mindset is taking away from their relationship. “Rod is all work and no play these days and it’s getting tiresome for Penny, who’s missing the good old days and worrying what’s happened to his legendary mojo,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “Penny feels like she barely recognises him – he used to be so full of energy, he worked hard but he had plenty left in the tank for…

Just as her band ABBA cooed in their hit song, The Way Old Friends Do, Anni-Frid Lyngstad – or Frida as she’s known to millions – has lived a storied life full of “times of joy and times of sorrow”. In fact, her life has been so tumultuous that even bandmate Bjorn Ulvaeus once claimed her story would serve perfectly as a play or musical. “Out of all four of us, Frida has had the most dramatic life,” he told the media. “Her life is the classic rags to riches story. I can just picture the scenes and the cliffhangers.” Now as the iconic hitmaker turns the big 8-0, Woman’s Day looks back on her life that has as many crescendos as an ABBA ballad. CHILDHOOD TRAUMA Born in Bjorkasen,…

He has one of the most recognisable voices on Aussie TV and radio. But it’s Vic Lorusso’s signature sign-off – “I’m Vic Lorusso from the traffic chopper” – that has become just as memorable in cars and households across the country. Asked how many times he reckons he’s said those words and Vic laughs. “Too many times to count,” he says. This year marks 25 years since the 44-year-old first took to the skies to keep us up to date (and on time) with his energetic and informative live traffic reports on programs such as Network Ten’s 5pm news bulletin and Gold 101.7’s Jonesy & Amanda. “I’ve absolutely loved my job,” Vic tells Woman’s Day as he introduces us to his beautiful family at their home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.…
