It’s a week of hope and heartache for us here at WHO, with a whole lot of celebrity news keeping us on our toes. First up, there are the reports Hugh Jackman has found “love” with a former co-star. We delve into the very latest on the new celebrity pairing on page 12. Hot on the heels of that excitement came confirmation from Gisele Bündchen’s camp that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel is expecting a child with her partner and former jiu-jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente. Turn to page 6 for all the details. But it’s not only celebratory news in this issue. As WHO went to press, multiple sources revealed the wedding between Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz is off, with the duo reportedly going their separate ways after three…

Drama is ramping up on The Block ahead of auction day. Last week saw another couple leave the reality TV show following the fallout from Brad telling Mimi he would sign up to her OnlyFans account if she had one. His wife, Kylie, understandably upset, fled the set. Upon her return, she confessed her suspicions that “something happened” between the pair and told Brad, “This is us being separated. We’re officially single people.” Despite being at the centre of the conflict, Mimi seemed surprised by Kylie’s departure and maintained that she and Brad were just talking. Although, she awkwardly avoided greeting Kylie when she came back. Mimi’s husband, Kristian, stood by her, saying, “It’s not like you were flirting back.” Unable to hold it together, Kylie and Brad, leave the…

Jack Vidgen has told fans he’s undergoing treatment at a rehab facility for a fourth time. The 27-year-old singer and social media influencer made the announcement via Instagram, telling his fans he was “terrified” of the judgement surrounding his ongoing battle with addiction. “I’ve been so scared, for years, of this thing that lives inside me which is my addiction,” he wrote, alongside an image of himself in bed at an undisclosed treatment facility. “This isn’t some ‘tell all’ post as I’m far from being in a space to do that,” he explained. “I just wanted to let you in a bit and let you know, I’m not ok. For years I’ve heard the saying ‘It’s okay not to be okay’ and never really known what the f--k that means.”…

After reprising his role as Wolverine in smash hit Deadpool & Wolverine, Hugh Jackman enlisted his co-star and friend Ryan Reynolds to announce his next professional move – a series of Radio City Music Hall concerts titled From New York, with Love that will run throughout 2025. In an Instagram video posted on October 9, Jackman jokingly rebuffed Reynolds’ offer to join him on stage. “This is my time,” he whispered to the camera. “My time.” Jackman’s return to the New York stage comes amid rumours he has fallen for Broadway star Sutton Foster, 49, a two-time Tony Award winner who he starred opposite in a revival of The Music Man that ended its run in January 2023. “They are 100 per cent together and are in love and want…

BROOKLYN & NICOLA The eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham may not be a second-generation soccer player or pop star, but Brooklyn has followed in his parents’ footsteps in one notable way – he married actress Nicola Peltz while in his early twenties, like David and Victoria were when they wed in 1999. Also like his parents, Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding photos were in demand, making it into Vogue and confirming their status as an It couple, both of whom go by the double-barrel surname Peltz Beckham. After a series of professional forays, Brooklyn, 25, seems intent on making his mark in the food world, launching a new hot sauce named Cloud23. “Brooklyn I am so proud of you. I love you so much! I love watching you live…

Only Murders in the Building co-creator John Hoffman has recalled a pinch-me moment on set when Meryl Streep thanked him for casting her as Martin Short’s love interest in Season 3 of the show. “We shot until about two in the morning on the most gorgeous night in Manhattan,” he spilled in an interview with Decider, describing the three-time Academy Award winner with tears in her eyes. “She said, ‘I just got to play a scene I really thought that the likes of which I wouldn’t have a chance to do. To play romantic scenes at this age …it’s just the greatest thing ever,’” he recalled, adding, “And I kept on thinking, ‘I hope the world falls in love with this couple the way we all are.’ And that…

Having spent decades behind bars for the murder of their parents, Lyle and Erik Menendez are on the verge of walking out of prison. The shock development came after the Los Angeles County district attorney recommended the brothers be resentenced for the 1989 killings after having examined new evidence in the case. “I came to a place where I believe, under the law, resentencing is appropriate,” George Gascón said at a press conference held on October 24. He will further recommend that thanks to the substantial sentences they have already served, and their young ages, 21 and 18 at the time of the crime, the pair be immediately eligible to apply for parole. If approved by a judge and the state parole board, they could be released in a matter…

When Jennifer Lopez shared photos of her and then-husband Ben Affleck’s matching tattoos on Valentine’s Day in 2023, she told us one thing: Bennifer 2.0 was forever. Fast forward 19 months and one rollercoaster of a divorce later and we (sadly) know better. And now, we can’t see Lopez’s infinity symbol “commitment” ribcage tattoo anywhere. In September, she took to the Toronto International Film Festival in a slinky silver gown (read: revenge dress). Not only did she look incredible, but the dress also had seemingly strategic side openings showcasing Lopez’s now-bare ribcage. Yep, it appears J.Lo took no time to mull over her ink – she filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20th. Whether she actually removed it or used concealer to cover it up is unknown, however, it…

When it comes to skincare, any beauty lover would be familiar with certain well-loved ingredients that make the rounds in endless products and treatments. Pick up any popular skincare offering from the shelf and bear witness to at least one of the holy complexion-loving trio: hyaluronic acid, retinol or vitamin C. And while, yes, all three of these key ingredients are important for clear, glowing skin, there’s an underdog inching its way up the beauty food chain. Enter peptides. Almost like the holy trio’s lesser-known cousin, peptides – otherwise known as polypeptides – play a major role in improving the elasticity and longevity of youthful skin. WHAT ARE PEPTIDES? According to Dr Eleanor Bradley, science credentialing manager at No7 Skincare in the UK, our skin-loving friends are “short chains of…

As far as opening scenes go, the first few seconds of steamy new British drama Rivals are, well, unrivalled. Without giving too much away, it involves two perfectly formed naked buttocks belonging to one of the rivals, Rupert Campbell-Black (played by Alex Hassell), in the bathroom of the Concorde. Yes, Rivals really opens with a bang. No wonder it’s being billed as one of the raunchiest shows to hit the small screen. And it doesn’t end there. If you’re not familiar with 44-year-old Hassell, by the end of episode 1, you’ll find him hard to forget. The English actor also goes full frontal nude and has declared it’s all him. “I don’t mind seeing my bum and willy on screen, I wouldn’t have done the job if I was particularly…

Beloved comic actress Teri Garr has passed away. Her publicist confirmed the 79-year-old was “surrounded by family and friends” when she died on October 29. Garr started her career as a background dancer in Elvis Presley films and was best known for roles in box office hits Tootsie and Young Frankenstein. She also had a guest role in Friends playing Phoebe’s (Lisa Kudrow) birth mum. Garr retired from acting in 2011 thanks to a long battle with multiple sclerosis. “Forget about how great she was as an actress and comedienne. She was a wonderful woman,” Michael Keaton posted on X.…

After two years of keeping it secret from all but a handful of people, Jackie “O” Henderson finally revealed that she was a recovering addict, having battled a years-long dependency on prescription drugs and alcohol. The breakfast radio host shocked not only her KIIS FM listeners but almost everyone around her as she explained on October 24 the depths of her addiction. SPECIAL BOND Henderson sought Kitty’s approval to share her story publicly. “I couldn’t be more proud of my daughter,” she told listeners. “The way she has been about it has been zero judgement, just compassion and support.” Even Kyle Sandilands, her famously outspoken friend and co-host, was left reeling by the admission, which included Henderson, 49, confessing that her radio hiatus in 2022 was in fact due to…

Alyla Browne, 15 ‘Time flies when you’re having fun’ Around eight commercials into her acting career, Sydney-based Browne got her first series role on Scott Ryan’s hitman dramedy Mr Inbetween. Five years later, she has hit the high seas as a young Jessica Watson in Netflix biopic True Spirit, played Nicole Kidman’s daughter in Nine Perfect Strangers and starred in two George Miller films, Three Thousand Years of Longing and Furiosa: A Mad Max Story. And she’s still just 15. “It’s definitely all happening very quickly,” Browne, one of 10 actors named Casting Guild of Australia Rising Stars, admits to WHO. “But time flies when you’re having fun.” That enthusiasm, mixed with an incredible work ethic, has been a key part of her success. When she played the younger version…

Scan to shop or visit dogfriendlyco.com Never work with children or animals is how the saying goes – unless, as in the case of brother and sister Luka Maric and Sandra Abade, they’re going to make you a small fortune. Five years ago, the duo fully embraced the pet space and they’ve lived to reap the rewards, growing a huge 250,000-strong client base and building a brand that’s exploded worldwide. “My bulldog, Carlos, was the one who inspired us,” Sandra tells WHO. “At 35 kilos, he’s on the chunky side, and I was struggling to find a harness that would sit well. I was living with my brother at the time and we decided we could fix this problem.” Sandra, who has a design and operations background, got started, and…

SHEER RED Red has been front and centre in our fashion looks this year, so it’s no surprise to see it make an appearance on our nails. “Red this season is more whimsical and sheer with ‘popsicle’ shades trending,” Antunes says. “[Look for] more of a translucent, nt, lip gloss-like finish.” Tip Antunes suggests replacing your winter burgundy hues with orange-toned reds. COOL CHROME “Chrome has been a big trend in nails for a while now and shows no signs of slowing down,” Antunes says. “Make way for an injection of colour with rainbow chrome brights.” For a more subtle style, opt for sleek silver and rose gold chromes to make your spring outfits look more sophisticated. GLASS-LIKE FINISH Adding a top coat is the best way to…

How did you first get into the industry? Since I was a child, I ‘ve always been in the hospitality industry thanks to my family, and I really wanted to follow the same path as them. What do you like most about being behind a bar? I am mainly on the floor during operation. But when I jump in behind the bar, I enjoy making drinks with Jason Lau – our mixologist supervisor – after finishing a docket together. And sometimes when I look at the drink, I just feel like having one or two as well. What things do you think make a great bar? What makes a great bar is the team that works there, from the arrival experience, being greeted by one of the team members –…

MOVIE MARTY SUPREME We certainly didn’t have this on-screen hook-up on our 2024 bingo card! Gwyneth Paltrow is making her comeback to the big screen playing a love interest to Timothée Chalamet’s Martin “Marty” Reisman in this upcoming sports drama – and what a comeback! It’s the 52-year-old’s first film role since 2019 and we’re loving the Mrs Robinson-style romance with Chalamet, 28.

What is the best and worst thing about working on The Great Australian Bake Off? The best is the people, because everyone is so amazingly sweet and nice. The worst is just how much you eat, but only because I finish every season a bigger size. But the food is also amazing, so it’s not really that big of a hardship. How do you rate your own skills in the kitchen? Would you be competitive in the shed? Before I joined the series, I thought I was great. Now, I don’t rate myself quite so high. If someone gave me a limited amount of time and asked for a cake that did something crazy like spin around, I wouldn’t be able to do it. Have you picked up any tips…

Generations of fans know him as the Blue Wiggle, but there is much more to Anthony Field’s story, as he reveals in his candid new memoir. Out of the Blue details his start in the music industry as a founding memoir of ’80s rock band The Cockroaches and how his university studies in early-childhood education led to the creation of the internationally beloved kids’ entertainers The Wiggles. “My life’s been full of twists and turns that even I didn’t see coming,” Field, who co-wrote the memoir with his cousin, writer Greg Truman, tells WHO. Among the highs, there have been personal and career struggles, including the father-of-three’s battles with chronic pain and depression. Field, 61, felt strongly about sharing his mental health journey. “It’s so important to show that it…

Gisele Bündchen has a very exciting life update. People magazine confirmed on October 28 that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel is expecting a child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source told the outlet. This new arrival will be Bündchen’s third child, but her first with Valente, 37, who was once her jiu-jitsu instructor. The pair’s friendship blossomed into something more after her divorce from NFL player Tom Brady and they began dating in June 2023. Throughout their romance, the active couple have been spotted together looking cosy on outdoor dates including paddle boarding, bike riding and hiking. In July this year, they…

The name’s James, Theo James. The dashing star is now a frontrunner to take on the iconic role of James Bond, closely behind fellow British heart-throb Aaron Taylor-Johnson, after Amazon MGM confirmed it had not chosen a leading man to take the baton from Daniel Craig. While Taylor-Johnson’s popularity has dropped off, James has climbed the ranks. “The search for the next James Bond is hotting up and we have seen a lot of support for British actor Theo James, who has narrowed from as big as 12/1 into 5/2 second favourite,”a spokesperson for British bookmaker William Hill told GB News, stating that Taylor-Johnson had “drifted to 11/10”. Other hunks are in the mix, too. Paul Mescal and Callum Turner are closing in, while James Norton has retained his spot…

The original film earned Australia’s Russell Crowe an Oscar in 2001 – and it looks like Irish It boy Paul Mescal could be on track for a trophy of his own when Gladiator II hits cinemas on November 14. It’s been a meteoric rise for Mescal, who shot to fame during the pandemic for his starring role opposite Daisy Edgar Jones in 2020’s Normal People adaptation. It was his first screen role fresh out of drama school and he hasn’t stopped booking gigs since. But it’s not all work and no play for the guy who brought Gaelic football shorts to the forefront of fashion. It’s also worth mentioning he’s now the leading man in singer Gracie Abrams’ life. The 28-year-old, who’s now officially in his blockbuster era, tells…

“I still sing at home, though” SECRET SHAME Following his expereince with Sambell, Farnham admitted to feeling guilt for many years. “I look back on that time with sorrow. I’m annoyed at myself for being so gullible and trusting,” he said. “I gave away control of my career, my direction and my life.” Two years after undergoing lifesaving surgery for oral cancer that has seemingly ended his singing career, it would be natural to assume that John Farnham’s health issues mark the darkest chapter in his life. However, the Aussie icon now reveals that he was forced to overcome much worse early on. In The Voice Inside, co-authored by Poppy Stockell, the beloved musician, 75, finds a new way to share his story. The memoir sees Farnham recall the lowest…

Women who INSPIRE Life has changed a lot in the last few years for Australian businesswoman Lisa Messenger, all thanks to her 15-month-old son, Hugo. “He’s just started walking, so we’ve reached a new level of excitement and hectic in our household,” Lisa tells WHO with a laugh. “And he’s so happy, giggles all the time. I feel like every day there is a new milestone.” These simple moments with her baby boy are something Lisa never takes for granted. And Hugo would not be here today if it wasn’t for her friend Sarah Megginson, who carried him for her. With her successful publishing business, which resulted in her jetting around the world as a sought-after public speaker on entrepreneurship, Lisa admits it looked like she had it all. But…

No-one knows how to push your buttons quite like a sibling, and it can also be pretty challenging for parents caught in the crossfire. Gen Muir, parent educator and author of Little People, Big Feelings explains that there are some tactics you can use to coach kids from the sidelines. Here, she explains how to de-escalate simmering squabbles. 1. SET THE GROUND RULES If it feels like sibling struggles are dominating your home, and your children are old enough to talk about it, consider a family meeting and discuss what is and isn’t working. This can be an opportunity for everyone to share their perspective on things that are making them upset, and a chance to remind everyone you are all on the same team and there is no problem…

Imagine your bags are unpacked, the kids are busy and you’re lying by the pool with a cocktail in hand, all before 1pm on the first day of a 10-day trip. No more cooking and cleaning, but eating, drinking, relaxing and exploring instead. I didn’t think this type of holiday was possible with a 1-year-old in tow – until I boarded the Ovations of the Seas with my husband, Paul, and daughter, Amelia. While we’ve never considered ourselves the cruising types, after sailing with Royal Caribbean through New Zealand, our first experience definitely won’t be the last. ALL ABOARD THE BUFFET With so many restaurants onboard, we never got tired of the food. In the main dining hall, our wonderful waiters, Carl and Albert, treated us like royalty. Each night,…

In Before, Billy Crystal takes on one of the most challenging roles of his career, stepping away from the comedic spotlight to embody Eli, a grief-stricken psychiatrist navigating a mysterious case that delves deep into the human psyche. The 10-episode Apple TV+ thriller sees Crystal in a role unlike any other he’s played – one that explores not just the terror of the mind, but love, loss and the unravelling of identity. “It’s not horror at all. It’s scary, it’s unnerving, it’s edgy …[It’s about] the terror of the mind, when you feel like you’re losing it, which is scarier than any cheap kind of scare you can create on film,” he tells WHO. Sitting down to discuss his experience, Crystal opens up about the surreal process of using de-aging…

SONNY BOY by Al Pacino He’s one of the most legendary actors in film history, but even before Pacino’s screen breakthrough in 1971, he’d led a fascinating life.
