Carrie Bickmore’s ex-husband, Chris Walker, has spoken about the couple’s split, marking the first time he has publicly shared details about the impact it had on him. The couple, who announced they had ended their 11-year relationship in early 2023, remained tight-lipped following an initial statement posted to Instagram last year. But now, Walker has given a candid interview to Luke Darcy’s Empowering Leaders podcast. Walker admitted that while the media intrusion following his and Bickmore’s separation was difficult, the hardest part was saying goodbye to the family unit he and Bickmore had built. “We built a family together. It’s what I thought our life would be. But life had a different plan,” he explained. “The media part of it wasn’t a big deal for me. It’s so far down…

Pregnant Margot Robbie was positively glowing as she stepped out with her blooming baby bump proudly on display while on a trip with husband Tom Ackerley in Sardinia on August 26. The star looked effortlessly chic as she draped a white shirt over her pregnant belly, pairing it with loose black pants, a black hat and sunglasses. It was confirmed that Robbie and Ackerley, both 34, were expecting their first child together in July, with an insider telling People magazine that the couple was “happy” the news was finally out. “Family means a lot to both of them and they knew early on in their relationship being parents was something they really wanted,” the source said, adding the pair had been keeping the news “under wraps” for a while. So…

BABY BOOM THE STARS SAY HELLO TO A HOST OF NEW ARRIVALS Justin and Hailey Bieber are parents! The star couple announced the arrival of a little boy, Jack Blues Bieber, by sharing an announcement on Instagram on August 23. “Welcome home,” Justin, 30, simply wrote in a caption to accompany a photo of his wife caressing their newborn’s tiny foot. The arrival of the couple’s new addition came just three months after they shared news of Hailey’s pregnancy publicly for the first time. Fans of the Biebers were quick to react to their choice of baby name, with one taking to X (formerly Twitter) to say, it was “somehow the most normal celebrity baby name in a while”. Another fan mused, “Omg Hailey and Justin Bieber gave their kid…

Hours before Jennifer Lopez filed to end her two-year marriage with Ben Affleck on August 20, the actor was all smiles as he hopped off a private plane in Los Angeles with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, after dropping their daughter Violet, 18, off to college at Yale University. The proud parents – who also share Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 – have been spending significant time still seeing CEO John Miller, 46, who she has dated on and off since 2018, although her closeness to Affleck has reportedly been the source of a rift. “John doesn’t like sharing Jen and there is a divide when it comes to her and Ben,” an insider told Daily Mail. “John doesn’t have any fears that they are getting back together – but it…

Jennifer Lopez, 55 She really is still Jenny from the block! Decades into her career, the pop icon and actress continues to look flawless – and everybody wants to know J.Lo’s secret to staying youthful. In 2023, she showed followers her skincare routine in an Instagram video and revealed she uses her own skincare line, JLo Beauty, “every day”. The ‘On the Floor’ singer also highlighted the importance of sunscreen, which many swear by as a way of preventing signs of ageing. “I’ve been wearing sunscreen every day since my very early twenties. You should start at a very young age,” she said. Usher, 45 The R’n’B singer is not only still performing like he did years ago – dance moves and all – but he’s looking almost identical to…

It’s easy to forget Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge are chefs and not comedians. As the hosts of My Kitchen Rules, they bring the laughs while the contestants serve up the dishes. WHO caught up with the Frenchman and his Irish counterpart to discuss the upcoming 14th season and their undeniable chemistry. Congratulations on another season. What can you tell us about it? Fassnidge: From the first episode, within five minutes, all of us were like, “Wow!” It was on fire. Everyone was firing and the energy was next level. Usually [contestants] are a bit subdued to start, but this was next level and real positive energy. Feildel: There are a lot of competitive people this year – more than usual. So it’s very interesting. I know we say this…

Ever started running but struggled to stick at it? Perhaps you thought you were a bad runner because you were too slow. Many runners obsess over one stat: speed. Then they either lose motivation because they think they’re not getting faster quickly enough, or they get injured because they’re spending too much time chasing personal bests and no time on technique. The truth is, there’s far more to running than pace. “There are several components of running, such as gait and posture, that can boost your efficiency,” explains running coach Jules Scudder. Improving these aspects will make running easier and more enjoyable and you might even speed up without trying. Sound good? Welcome to the slow runner’s club, where we focus on running better, not faster. Follow these rules to…

What drew you into the winemaking business? I grew up around vineyards, spending most of my childhood in the Barossa and Hunter Valley, so it was a natural step into winemaking for me. As soon as I started in the industry, I instantly felt a connection. Can you tell us a bit about the Barossan X range? Do you have a favourite? The Barossan X range represents a spin from the ordinary, pushing boundaries while honouring the rich winemaking heritage of the region. Each varietal in the series encapsulates the essence of the classic Barossa shiraz, marrying the rich flavours of this iconic wine with the exuberance of alternative varietals. Using varieties such as touriga, montepulciano and tempranillo, we’re playing with varieties that people may not have experimented with drinking…

As DI Mackenzie Clarke in Return to Paradise, ABC’s original spin-off TV series of global smash-hit franchise Death in Paradise, Anna Samson, 34, makes history as the first female lead detective in the ‘Paraverse’. Where did your acting journey begin? I wanted to be an actor since pre-memory. I grew up between the UK, Nigeria and Australia, and in the time that I was in London, my parents and grandparents would take me to the West End quite a lot. It was just part of the culture in England – to go and see theatre. And the story goes that I was seeing a production of Oliver! the musical at the London Palladium with my grandparents and I’ve never been the same since. And now you’re the first female detective…

She might be the daughter of one of Australia’s sporting legends, but Mia Hewitt was all rock‘n’roll when she showed off her impressive set of pipes at a gig in Sydney this month. The eldest child of tennis champion Lleyton Hewitt and former Home and Away actress Bec Hewitt was spotted performing with her “bohemian folk rock” duo, Father’s Favourite, at a venue in Alexandria – and true to the rock spirit, the 18-year-old took sips from a wine glass between songs and unwound after the gig by lighting up a cigarette. Aspiring to be a professional singer isn’t a huge stretch for the eldest Hewitt, given Bec had her own brief stint as a pop star in the early 2000s at the height of her TV fame. But we…

Actress Martine McCutcheon has shared her heartbreak after announcing the end of her marriage to husband Jack McManus, with whom she shares a son, Rafferty, 9. Taking to Instagram, the star claimed McManus had“decided it’s best for us to separate after 18 years together” and added,“I accept his decision.” “We both, of course, still cherish and look forward to being parents together to our wonderful boy for the rest of our lives,” McCutcheon wrote. “Whilst this decision has evolved over a period of time, we are still finding our new way forward as a family and kindly ask for some privacy at this time … Especially for our little boy.” A source told The Sun that the couple had been“having issues two years ago”.…

More than 20 years after they first crossed paths at a Grammys press conference, R’n’B stars Nelly and Ashanti welcomed a baby together. Ashanti, 43, and her husband, 49, shared the news in an Instagram post, which featured a selfie of the singer postpartum. “Funny how life’s plans aren’t…always on time.. lol,” Ashanti wrote, giving a nod to the 2001 Ja Rule hit ‘Always on Time’, on which she featured. “I’ve been waiting to be amum for a long time now but nothing could prepare me for everything motherhood brings! …I’m so proud of my body for giving me my baby, baby, baby, baby, boy.” Arep for the couple confirmed the name of the couple’s new addition. “Ashanti and Nelly welcomed their baby boy, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, on July 18,…

Kate Moss and mini-me daughter Lila resemble sisters as they enjoy a relaxing vacation in Ibiza. Emerging from the water in holiday snaps, the pair look as if fresh from a photoshoot, their close bond obvious as they enjoy laughs and cuddles while soaking up the rays. Although some young adults prefer to steer clear of their parents’ watchful eyes, Lila is quite the opposite. In a 2022 YouTube segment for Vogue, the young star admitted she’d have her mother by her side always if she could. “If I could fit one person in my bag, it would probably be my mum – she’s fun and good at advice, so I could ask her anything,” she gushed. Earlier this year, the pair twinned at the Yves Saint Laurent show at…

Forget James Bond. Thanks to Jack Lowden, audiences have fallen for a different kind of spy. While 007 firmly occupies the world of fast cars, mind-boggling gadgets and scantily clad lovers, Lowden’s River Cartwright in Slow Horses is far from a smooth operator. An MI5 reject, the handsome but accident-prone agent contrasts with the series lead, Gary Oldman’s dishevelled yet crafty Jackson Lamb, the head of Slough House, where unwanted spies are sent to see out their careers. This week, Lowden and Oldman return for the show’s fourth season, while the show has also scored a swag of nominations in the upcoming Emmy Awards. In the Outstanding Drama Series category, it’s up against the likes of The Crown, Morning Wars, The Gilded Age and Mr &Mrs Smith. With each season,…

Her crimes are so monstrous they are beyond the comprehension of most people. Lucy Letby, a neonatal nurse trusted to care for the most vulnerable babies, was found guilty in August last year of murdering seven infants – five boys and two girls – and attempting to murder six others while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital in England’s north-west in 2015 and 2016. In July this year, she was found guilty of attempting to kill another baby. Sentenced to live out her days behind bars, Letby, who has maintained her innocence, has failed at every avenue of appeal. And yet, there remains a persistent and growing number of ‘theorists’ arguing that Letby, 34, is herself the victim of a miscarriage of justice. Letby’s supporters argue that the circumstantial…

THE FITNESS ISSUE Anyone who has ever skipped a post-work Pilates class because they were stuck in a meeting will tell you that you can do all the right things (like booking a class in advance and lugging your gear into the office) and some days exercise just doesn’t fit into your schedule. The solution to our workout woes? Microdosing. And no, we’re not talking about psychedelics, but rather exercise. The idea of microdosing or ‘snacking’ exercise is simple. Instead of slogging it out in the gym or studio for extended periods, you can do these 10 to 15-minute sweat sessions anywhere, anytime. Here, we ask the experts how we can get our daily quick fix and if it actually works. WHO IS FITNESS MICRODOSING FOR? According to Ben Lucas,…

LONG-LASTING MASCARA A hard-working mascara is essential when you’re exercising. Choose either a waterproof formula to keep everything in place or a tubing formula that only requires water to remove it at the end of the day. CHOOSE A TINT Tip No matter whether your tint contains SPF, always apply an extra layer onto clean skin. For natural coverage during your workout, opt for a buildable skin tint. The best at letting your skin breathe, they contain all the good ingredients for a hydrated complexion. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. MATTIFY YOUR SKIN Brace your skin for a workout with the helping hand of a matte primer to reduce any shine to your face. Silicone formulas are preferred over anything water-based to ensure your makeup…

There’s nothing we love more than jetsetting off to an exotic destination, but sadly air travel has some negative impacts on our wellbeing. While common side effects include jet lag and dehydration, some travellers disembark with more serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and increased blood pressure (one 2021 study found men without a pre-existing heart condition are at risk of experiencing an increase of up to six per cent). But don’t take this as your sign to swear off flying in the name of health. Instead, consider focusing on your in-flight fitness so you’ll be happily cruising at 35,000 feet. 1. GET MOVING Head yogi and co-founder of Flow Athletic Kate Kendall says getting out of your seat every one to two hours is vital. “This will boost…

IT’S SHOW TIME Beetlejuice’s appearance is now iconic and it was Keaton who played a large part in creating the way he looks. The actor suggested the teeth, electric shock hair, the weird walk and the clothing from different time periods. Michael Keaton has an extensive list of movie credits, but it’s his role as mischievous ghost Beetlejuice that stands out not just for him, but his fans, too. “The first Beetlejuice is one of if not the favourite film I have done,” he tells WHO. Stepping back into the shoes of the mayhem-making ghoul 36 years after the first film was released was a little hair-raising for Keaton, who turns 72 on September 5, but a lot of fun. How easy was it to step back into the role…

As a journalist working for The Australian Women’s Weekly, Genevieve Gannon is used to sinking her teeth into meaty subjects. And it was while working on a feature article called ‘The Baby of Your Dreams’ that she was inspired to write her new novel, Inheritance. “A biologist I interviewed had warned in 2015 that doctors may be able to genetically edit embryos to make designer babies as soon as 2030,” she tells WHO. “His estimate was way off. In 2018, the scientific world was stunned when a Chinese doctor announced the birth of twin girls he had genetically edited to be HIV-resistant. “I love to write about ethical dilemmas, and the thought that parents may one day be able to choose whether to edit their children to give them an…

Naomi Campbell has made it clear how happy she is being a single mother to her two young children, but there’s somebody else who is also making her smile these days. The 54-year-old has been spending her European summer days and nights with German superstar DJ Rampa, following him across the Continent to watch his sets and join him for a shimmy. No stranger to the music scene herself, Campbell was seen kissing the producer and artist, born Gregor Sütterlin, on the dancefloor of a nightclub on Greek party island Mykonos in August. In another video, she looks completely loved-up as she hold hands and enjoys a slow groove with the founder of record label Keinemusik, which launched in 2009. Away from the club and dance scene, Campbell has also…

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan sparked relationship speculation after she was spotted hanging out at a festival with British film producer and Renegade Nell actor Jake Dunn. The duo looked cosy as they attended the All Points East festival in London on August 26, with the pair snapped with their arms draped around each other in the crowd. They were later spotted dancing alongside friends, leading fans to speculate that the pair could potentially be an item. Eariler, celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi had shared an anonymous tip of the couple playing Scrabble in a London pub on July 20, with the eyewitness sharing a snap of the duo at their table. Prior to their pub sighting, Coughlan, 37, and Dunn were photographed together posing alongside Dunn’s co-star Alice Kremelberg at the…

Madonna has lived a life. And to celebrate her 66th birthday, the music icon chose a historically significant location to party – and one that allowed her to get in touch with her Italian roots: the ancient site of Pompeii. The superstar singer and her six children travelled to the city for festivities fit for the Queen of Pop. According to The Telegraph, Madonna toured the city’s Teatro Grande, a Roman amphitheatre, spent time with youths involved in a community project that she funds and enjoyed an exclusive dinner catered by the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Quattro Passi. It was just what the birthday girl needed, more than a year after she survived a life-threatening bacterial infection. “Madonna is living her life to the absolute full and has spent a fortune on…

Even before she was one of the biggest pop acts on the planet, Sabrina Carpenter had a hack for scoring VIP treatment thanks to a family connection to The Simpsons star Nancy Cartwright. “She didn’t do it all the time but there were a couple of times where we couldn’t get a table at a restaurant and she was like, ‘Hey man, I’m Bart Simpson, what the hell’s going on?’” the singer, 25, spilled to Capital FM back in 2021. “My whole life, that was the coolest thing in the world. I wasn’t even really allowed to watch the show until I was a little bit older, but yeah, the woman is a woman of many talents, not just Bart; she always blows me away.” Cartwright, 66, who says her…

Wherever she goes, Liane Moriarty admits that she is a bit of a snoop. “I’m absolutely a people watcher and eavesdropper,” she tells WHO. “I find ordinary people to be extraordinarily interesting. Especially the ones who come across as quite dull at first – they often have the biggest secrets.” Of course, doing that while remaining undetected has become more difficult now the author, 57, is an internationally known household name thanks to bestselling novels like Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers and their TV adaptations starring some of Hollywood’s most famous actresses (see below). But that doesn’t mean it’s any harder to uncover the tantalising truth. “At events, people come straight up and pull me aside and say, ‘I have the perfect story for you!’ and talk about…
