‘When we’re all snuggled up together, that’s my idea of heaven. I’m a lucky man’ Ronnie Gurgling with glee, nine-month-old twins Gracie and Alice Wood are in their element as they clamber all over their glamorous mum Sally, their chubby little hands reaching up to touch her face. “They’re so much fun now,” smiles Sally, 39, as her precious baby girls nuzzle in for a cuddle. “They’ve started doing this thing where Gracie laughs on the in-breath and Alice laughs on the out-breath, so we get this hilarious hee-hawing that cracks me up. “They babble away to each other in their own little language and when they’re in their high chairs, they’ll move their hands so that they’re touching – although they’re not averse to swiping one another’s…

The sound of laughter is ringing through the air as HELLO! arrives for our exclusive photoshoot with The Jump contestant Lydia Bright and her The Only Way is Essex co-star – her mum Debbie Douglas. “We’re like best friends. When we have a day together we just don’t stop laughing,” says Debbie as the upbeat pair, who clearly share a real zest for life, take part in what they tell us is their “dream” interview together. “Being in HELLO! has been on our bucket list,” Debbie explains. So what better time to fulfil her wish than in time for Mother’s Day? Especially because, when it comes to celebrity mums, it’s difficult to think of anyone with more star quality than Lydia’s. We are catching up with the pair during a…

If anyone can be considered to have it all, it’s surely Liv Tyler. The former model and mother of three not only has a successful acting career but also manages to fit in a spot of fashion design on the side. The 39-year-old star of The Lord of the Rings, who has two children, eight-month-old Lula and Sailor, two (below) with her partner, Dave Gardner, and 12-year-old Milo with her former husband Royston Langdon, has designed her second capsule collection for British heritage brand Belstaff for its spring/ summer range, inspired by the English countryside in the 1960s and 1970s. “I want women everywhere to feel sexy, empowered and confident in what they wear,” the creative contributor and ambassador has said of her designs, which include the Alonby four-pocket fitted…

Hoping to Live It Up with her new man, retired baseball star Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez pitched up at Miami restaurant Casa Tua for a romantic dinner last week. The white-hot pair reportedly spent more than three hours at the Italian eatery before leaving together (left), accompanied by a couple of female friends. Jennifer is thought to have been seeing former New York Yankees player Alex for a matter of weeks after they were introduced by mutual friends. “They have a lot in common and friends thought they could be really good together,” a source told one US news site. The sports star is also believed to have travelled to Las Vegas to watch Jennifer in action on stage in her hit show, All I Have . Their Miami date…

Senior royals were out in force as Prince Harry and his father the Prince of Wales teamed up to honour the 2nd Battalion the Royal Gurkha Rifles (left). About 150 soldiers and their families were welcomed to Buckingham Palace to receive Operational Service Medals (above) in recognition of their eight-month tour of Afghanistan. Prince Charles, who is colonel-in-chief of the Royal Gurkha Rifles, told them: “Your forefathers would be most proud of you here today, continuing to demonstrate the traditions and achievements that together ensure the worldwide reputation of the Gurkhas.” For former soldier Harry – an honorary Gurkha after serving with soldiers from the regiment in Helmand – the engagement was an unmissable one. “I always wanted to be a Gurkha but the opportunity never arose,” he said in…

A host of celebrities raced off to Cheltenham last week for one of the favourite fixtures on the social calendar. The annual four-day festival at Prestbury Park is as much about people-watching as horse racing, as spectators turned out in their finery with feathers and fur. Leading in the fashion stakes was Zara Tindall, who delighted racegoers by attending every day, showing off eye-catching styles including a teal hat, an elegant houndstooth coat and a dramatic fur collar. Zara’s mother the Princess Royal attended on three of the days. Adding a touch of Hollywood glamour was Liv Tyler, wearing a high-necked black dress. She looked as if she was celebrating a big win as she watched the action alongside her fiancé Dave Gardner and friends including actress Sadie Frost and…

TV presenter and mum of three Holly Willoughby was last week celebrating after winning a trio of top awards. “What a day. Hat tric (k),” she wrote on Instagram, next to a shot of her with her Television and Radio Industries Club gongs. Holly, 36, was named TV Personality of the Year as well as picking up the Satellite/ Digital Programme and Daytime Programme awards for her roles on Celebrity Juice and This Morning respectively. Her This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield wrote on Twitter: “Congratulations@hollywills. #proud.” Holly and her husband, TV producer Daniel Baldwin, are parents to Harry, seven, Belle, five, and Chester, two. Phillip recently joked that three kids was enough for his co-star. “I won’t let…

Kate looked chic in a bespoke Catherine Walker coat and hat The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took care of tradition on St Patrick’s Day last week by handing out shamrock to the 1st Battalion Irish Guards at the Cavalry Barracks in Hounslow, West London. Kate and William attended the annual ceremony hours before their official trip to Paris and got into the celebratory spirit with pints of Guinness. After dropping in on the Guardsmen’s lunch and being toasted with three hearty cheers, Kate, looking chic in a bespoke Catherine Walker coat and hat, sipped her tipple with a smile. The Duke, who is Colonel of the Irish Guards, wore his regimental frock coat as he and his wife joined 350 members of the battalion on the Parade Square, where…

‘Storm is going to be an incredible mother. She has that natural ability’ As a dad of three, singer Ronan Keating is already a dab hand at preparing bottles and changing nappies. Now the ex-Boyzone star can’t wait to see how wife Storm, who is expecting their first child in May, takes to motherhood. “She’s going to be an incredible mother,” Ronan exclusively tells HELLO! . “She’s a real Earth Mother. She’s a very grounded woman, she’s excited about being a mother and she has that natural ability and connection. I’m very excited to see her in that situation. We’re over the moon, we cannot wait.” It’s not just Ronan and Storm – who married in 2015 in a fairytale ceremony covered exclusively by HELLO! – who are eager to…

Hampshire-born Katie Piper, 33, is a campaigner, TV presenter, best-selling author and mum. The victim of a vicious acid attack, she set up her self-titled foundation to help fellow burns survivors. She lives in London with husband Richard and their daughter, Belle, three. What’s your favourite TV show ever? I only really watch documentaries and kids’ TV now. Although when Celebrity Big Brother is on I’m obsessed with it. Who would play you in a soap opera of your life? Well, I think Joanna Lumley is pretty fabulous and I’m a huge Absolutely Fabulous fan, so I would be pretty chuffed with that. What’s the last thing you watched on catch-up? Channel 4’s Extremely British Muslims. Not only is it insightful, but parts are also funny. Who is your ideal…

STAR TREATMENT AT HOSPITAL GALA Everything was coming up roses as party-goers including reality star socialite Noelle Reno and soprano Camilla Kerslake enjoyed a champagne reception, dinner and auction in aid of Israel’s largest hospital, the Sheba Medical Centre.

As a busy working mum, Victoria Beckham rarely gets time just to herself. But without her brood of four children in tow during a business trip to New York, the fashion designer indulged in one of her favourite things – shopping. However, it wasn’t just clothes that were on the list for the fashionista last week. Dressed to the nines in a series of chic outfits from her latest collection, Victoria picked up essentials from a grocery store in Manhattan, breaking into one of her rarely seen smiles (inset above) while stocking up on food supplies before bitter Storm Stella blanketed the city in snow. Victoria, 42, was in Manhattan to promote her forthcoming collaboration with US store Target, which sees the former Spice Girl design children’s clothes for the…

Widowed suddenly when she was eight weeks pregnant with her son Jenson, who was conceived through IVF, Amie was nominated by her sister Hannah, who wrote: “Throughout her pregnancy Amie tried to look after herself for the sake of her child despite being consumed with loss. She gave birth to the most beautiful baby boy and immediately devoted her all to him, navigating the unclear territory of being a new first-time mum by herself.” After one of her daughters died last year, Janet was dealt another blow two months later when her daughter Ann-Marie (above, with Janet) was diagnosed with breast cancer. “Mum lives 300 miles from me but is always there, dropping everything when my treatment is so unbearable that only my mum beside me will do,” Ann-Marie tells…

To celebrate Mother’s Day, HELLO! is bringing you a huge array of exciting interactive content for the entire week between now and Sunday 26 March. We’re hosting a hectic schedule of Facebook Lives – beamed direct from Facebook’s London HQ, where members of our team are hot-desking all week – from interviews with many of the stars in this issue, to a live Pilates class hosted by celebrity trainer Jane Wake, designed especially for mums (and for those with bumps). Former Girls Aloud singer and stage star Kimberley Walsh is popping by to discuss the realities of parenting two little boys with our editor in chief Rosie Nixon on Monday at 10am, and we’d love to take your questions. We are also trialling maternity fashion, pampering tired mums and dropping…

Like mothers everywhere, Coleen Rooney’s life revolves around her three boys. So much so that it falls to her England footballer husband Wayne to encourage her to have some time to herself. “Wayne moans at me all the time about sitting down and relaxing because I hardly ever do it,” she tells HELLO! at the launch of this year’s McDonald’s Football Mum of the Year, fronted by Coleen. Even Sunday won’t be a day for the busy mum to put her feet up. “I don’t think I have ever had a Mother’s Day on my own,” says 30-year-old Coleen. “I have always been the one to take my mum out. We’ve always done something as a family.” Mother to Kai, seven, Klay, three, and one-year-old Kit (pictured above with Wayne)…

She saw it as her most important goal of the year. And last week the Duchess of Cornwall’s long-term dream of helping survivors of rape and sexual assault became a reality. Camilla came up with the idea of providing traumatised victims with a washbag (held by Camilla above) to use after forensic examinations. She has been deeply moved by their plight during visits to Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) and wanted to help. Visiting the Nottingham HQ of high street giants Boots, which is backing the project, she met staff who have helped to pack 12,000 bags with toiletries including shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and other essentials for the Wash Bag Project. The bags will be distributed to all 49 SARCs around the country. Camilla told them…

SIR BRUCE FORSYTH “Doing fantastic” after hospital scare Former Strictly Come Dancing presenter and dad of six Sir Bruce Forsyth, 89, is recovering well after a five-day stay in intensive care with a severe chest infection. “He’s good,” said Debbie Matthews, his daughter from his first marriage, in a TV interview. “It’s been a rough year but he’s doing fantastic. We’ve all been together. He’s a wonderful father – very proud of him.” • Presenter and campaigner Katie Piper was rushed to hospital on her daughter Belle’s third birthday last week after suffering preseptal cellulitis, a severe inflammation and infection of the eyelid. She is now recovering at home. DAME JESSICA ENNIS-HILL Second baby on way for athletics star Former world and Olympic champion Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and husband Andy…

Commonwealth Day is always a special occasion for the Queen Commonwealth Day is one of the most important events in the royal calendar and the Queen marked its 40th anniversary last week alongside three generations of her family. Looking radiant in a yellow coat and matching hat by Angela Kelly, and wearing the Wattle Brooch – a gift from the people of Australia during her first Commonwealth tour of 1953-54 – she smiled broadly as she arrived with the Duke of Edinburgh for the annual service at Westminster Abbey, where they were joined by family members including the Prince of Wales and Prince Harry. Commonwealth Day, held on the second Monday in March, is always a special occasion for the Queen. The event celebrates the Commonwealth of Nations, the…

Trust Channel 4 to put an edgy slant on the national TV treasure that is The Great British Bake Off. I was so surprised when it was announced last week that The Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding (above) will be hosting the show when it returns later this year. His off-beat comedy and glam-rock style isn’t exactly what we’ve come to associate with the cosy, quintessentially English Bake Off – but now the news has sunk in a bit, I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as people seem to be suggesting. In fact, I reckon Noel could be a key ingredient in making it a real success. With judge Mary Berry and hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins gone, there’s no point trying to recreate the magic that…

As she welcomes HELLO! to Team Domenica, the charity she has founded in her daughter’s name, Rosa Monckton describes how her great friend Diana, Princess of Wales, would have been a huge supporter. “I would love to have seen her here – she would be absolutely in her element. She would have been incredibly proud,” she says. “Her spirit is very much in this building. I really do feel it.” When Rosa’s daughter Domenica Lawson was born with Down’s syndrome in 1995, Diana offered her unconditional support. Rosa and Diana had long supported each other through difficult times and, as Domenica’s parents came to terms with their little girl’s diagnosis, the Princess arrived at Rosa’s bedside and asked to be godmother, telling Rosa: “I am taking this one on board.”…

‘Poppy and Cara change nappies, they look after the kids, they feed them…’ Sisters Chloe, Poppy and Cara Delevingne may be three of the most glamorous women in the world – but even they aren’t immune to the chaos created by tiny tots. “We stayed at Poppy’s last week and had a slight incident where my one-year-old daughter Juno managed to open a red Chanel lipstick and smeared it all over her brand new interior-decorated wall and carpet,” laughs Chloe, 32, during a catch-up with HELLO! . “I burst into tears. But the amazing aunty that Poppy is – she was like, ‘It’s fine! This is what kids do!’” MODEL FAMILY Poppy, 30, and Cara, 24, are both world-renowned models who are now also enjoying success as actresses. But to…

Looking chic in a white Bottega Veneta wool coat and beige Kurt Geiger stilettos, Angelina Jolie was a glamorous mum as she enjoyed a day out in London with her children Shiloh, ten, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The devoted mother of six was spotted by customers as she browsed the bookshelves of the Piccadilly branch of Waterstones and helped Vivienne, who was clutching a cuddly grey rabbit, pick out some fun reading material. “She bought about 30 items,” said an onlooker. “Mostly colouring books, a Harry Potter , plus some book markers and Easter-themed project books.” Angelina emerged smiling into the spring sunshine with a bag bursting with goodies, including a soft white toy hippo peering over the top. Despite being in the throes of a divorce from…

‘Mum gave me a sense of knowing what was right. She gave me a really strong foundation’ Life has been a bit of a whirlwind of late for Lisa Faulkner. In the space of just a few weeks the actress and cook has published her latest cookbook, From Mother to Mother, and landed a part in EastEnders, as businesswoman Fi Browning. The news of her role has only just been announced when we meet at her house in North London, a few days after HELLO! ’s photoshoot. “It’s so exciting,” she says, offering a tin of homemade biscuits as we sit in the sunny kitchen of the home she shares with her partner, MasterChef judge and chef John Torode, and her daughter Billie. “These sort of jobs come out of…

‘I’m used to a macho environment, where it’s all right to cry at matches, but when it comes to bereavement, it’s seen as a weakness’ Retired football star Rio, 38, is a former England captain. In 2015, his wife Rebecca died of breast cancer, aged just 34, and he has had to raise their three children by himself. Rio, who lives in London with Lorenz, ten, Tate, eight, and five-year-old Tia, shares his story in a TV documentary later this month All my life, I’ve tried to set high standards in whatever I do. When I was young I wanted to be the best footballer I could be – play in big stadiums and win trophies. Then when I made it, I’d set new goals. It was a fantastic honour…

The annual Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles is slime-time viewing: it always attracts a host of A-list parents happy to brave the famous emerald-coloured gunge that is dumped on the audience and some unlucky celebrity invitees – including host John Cena this year. Mariah Carey, Heidi Klum and Gwen Stefani were among those to walk the orange carpet last week – while hoping to avoid going green. Attending with her ex-husband Nick Cannon and their five-year-old twins (right), Mariah dressed daughter Monroe in an Adidas mini-dress and Sophia Webster winged shoes to match her own. Nick and son Moroccan were coordinated in orange hoodies and shorts and customised Timberlands. “Excited to take #demkids to the Kids’ Choice Awards today!” Mariah posted on her Instagram account. “Trying on a…

Pippa barely broke into a sweat as she jogged near the Royal Albert Hall It’s two months to the day until she says “I do” so it’s no surprise keen athlete Pippa Middleton is upping her fitness game as she prepares to marry James Matthews. The Duchess of Cambridge’s 33-year-old sister, who ties the knot on 20 May, was seen running through the streets of West London with the couple’s two dogs – Pippa’s cocker spaniel Rafa, named after Spanish tennis ace Rafael Nadal, and James’s black labrador. In a hot-pink top, black leggings and a white baseball cap, Pippa barely broke a sweat as she jogged past London landmark the Royal Albert Hall, not far from the home she and James share in Chelsea. She certainly looked fit and…

‘I don’t think people get too freaked out when they come over and I open the door in it. I’m like, “What’s the big deal? Wouldn’t you want to wear this too?”’ Actress Sarah Paulson loves the Prada gown she wore to last year’s Emmys (left) ‘I do love Guinness. This is going down really well’ Kate Garraway enjoys an early St Patrick’s Day tipple on Good Morning Britain ‘I went into Harrods furniture department and thought, “Oh, I’ll have a lie on a bed.” It was so comfortable I nodded off – and then bought it’ Actress Brenda Blethyn looks forward to sleeping off a tiring day’s filming ‘I’m off Twitter ’til Saturday so if you hate it... fill yer boots’ Davina McCall was expecting trouble ahead of presenting…

Enjoying precious time with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the Duchess of Cambridge chose to stay at home this month as her husband the Duke of Cambridge took time out ahead of their official trip to Paris. While skiing fan Prince William (below) sloped off for a long weekend in the Swiss resort of Verbier with close friends Guy Pelly, James Meade and Thomas van Straubenzee, Kate made the most of some down time with her children. William has described her as “an amazing mother and a fantastic wife” and her devotion to motherhood extends to her charity work. This week, the 35-year-old will show her support for fellow mums by speaking about the importance of maternal mental health at the launch of a series of films made by the…
