‘My home is my absolute favourite space. I think that’s the way it should be’ When the time came to build her dream home in Los Angeles, Maria Sharapova found the perfect spot. Set on a slope that leads down to the ocean, the property has a view stretching from Palos Verdes to Malibu, with beautiful Catalina Island – where hundreds of films have been shot – floating in the distance. The former tennis ace had always wanted a Japanese-inspired home by the beach so, before she hung up her racket as a professional player, she spent almost three years making sure every detail of its construction and decor was just right. It’s that same persistence and hard work in pursuit of perfection that took Maria, 33, to the top…

Former Strictly Come Dancing champion Kelvin Fletcher (left, with pro partner Oti Mabuse) was firing on all cylinders when it came to choosing his dad Warren’s 60th birthday gift. The former Emmerdale star, who has competed successfully on the GT motor racing circuit as well as in the ballroom, presented his father with a silver Bentley Continental. Sharing photos on Instagram of him posing with the car (above right) and of the birthday boy overcome with emotion (above left), Kelvin paid tribute to Warren, writing: “You’re the kindest soul I know and you’ll put anyone before yourself. We know how much you’ve always dreamed of this car so to see your face yesterday made my heart burst with pride and happiness. You deserve it and we are so lucky to…

From supervising lockdown learning to counting down the weeks until the birth of his third child, Mike Tindall’s conversion from professional rugby union player to committed family man is complete. And in a recent interview he has revealed why, as their tenth wedding anniversary approaches this summer (they married in Edinburgh in July 2011, right), he and wife Zara are happier than ever. “She’s always been my best friend,” was how the former England star described the Queen’s eldest granddaughter, adding: “That doesn’t change.” The couple (left) have spent much of Zara’s latest pregnancy isolating with their children Mia, seven, and two-year-old Lena, at their home on Zara’s mother the Princess Royal’s Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire. And Mike said there have been upsides to the restrictions as Zara’s due…

Dawn French has spoken passionately about the need to give a voice to young girls who can’t speak out for themselves.

Shrouded in a long veil and caught in a warm embrace, Pamela Anderson looked every inch a woman in love as she married her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, at her idyllic Canadian home on Vancouver Island. A small, intimate ceremony sealed the relationship of the couple, whose romance blossomed during lockdown. “I am in love,” the actress and model declared simply. “I was married on the property I bought from my grandparents 25 years ago; this is where my parents were married and they are still together. I feel like I’ve come full circle.” Of Dan, a builder from her small home town of Ladysmith, where she lived until moving to Los Angeles in her 20s, Pamela said: “I’m exactly where I need to be – in the arms of a…

Serena Scott Thomas starred in a film based on Andrew Morton’s book, Diana: Her True Story. Made for TV in 1993, it follows the breakdown of Charles and Diana’s marriage and starred actor David Threlfall as the Prince of Wales alongside Serena, who later appeared opposite Pierce Brosnan in Bond film The World is Not Enough. Caroline Bliss took on the royal role straight out of drama school, playing the Princess in 1982 on US TV channel ABC’s Charles & Diana: A Royal Love Story, which portrayed their romance and fairytale 1981 wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral (above, with David Robb, Downton Abbey’s Dr Clarkson, as Prince Charles). Caroline went on to play Miss Moneypenny opposite Timothy Dalton as 007 in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill. It was…

‘I don’t think we can call ourselves a civilised society unless we fight for unfortunate children’ Shalina and her children – one of whom suffers from a complex, life-threatening condition and needs an oxygen cylinder to breathe – live in a two-bedroom, high-rise flat in London. When her abusive husband left her in debt and rent arrears more than a year ago, Shalina found it difficult to access help as English is not her first language. Her School-Home Support practitioner Kim helped her complete forms for support, including disability living allowance and free school meals, and arranged a grant through the charity to buy food and a fridge. She also contacted the local housing department, which awarded a benefit back-payment to cover Shalina’s rent arrears and has now prioritised the…

‘For young people, being educated by a diversity of adults fosters an ethos of inclusion and respect’ Fifteen years ago, I was told by a colleague in the school I was working in at the time that as an openly gay man, it would be virtually impossible for me to be a headmaster. Now, all these years later I have been completely blown away by the response to my assembly to mark LGBTQ+ Week. It is still the case that there are very few openly gay headteachers and it struck me how wrong that is, and how important it is that young people see diversity within leadership. I had been holding my regular conversations with senior students and we were talking about diversity and inclusion in the school more broadly.…

Soprano Camilla Kerslake and her rugby star husband Chris Robshaw only recently revealed they would be beginning their own American dream by relocating to Las Vegas. Now the couple are delighted to announce exclusively in HELLO! that they are also about to embark on an even bigger adventure: parenthood. “It felt like the right time to start our family,” says mum-to-be Camilla, who is expecting the couple’s first baby at the end of May. Former England rugby union captain Chris adds: “We’re really excited for this next chapter – there’s a lot of excitement coming our way.” Their move to the bright lights of Las Vegas is something of a wild card for Camilla and Chris, who recently celebrated ten years together; they married in June 2018 in a romantic…

She recently revealed that, when it comes to fashion, she wears pieces “to death.” However, there are some treasures Angelina Jolie is happy to say goodbye to. The big screen queen (left) is auctioning a painting by Winston Churchill that is expected to fetch up to £2.5m when it goes under the hammer at Christie’s in London. The only artwork the UK Prime Minister created during the war, Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque (below) was painted in 1943 in Marrakech for US President Franklin D Roosevelt. It was bought by the Jolie Family Collection in 2011, after being stored in a cupboard for 15 years by its previous owner. Angelina and husband Brad Pitt bought numerous artworks together, creating a collection estimated to be worth £18m before they famously split…

Gigi Hadid stood out with a bright-red glossy lip, extra-long lashes and voluminous hair for Lanvin’s AW20/21 catwalk. The 25-year-old model and new mum is quite laid back when it comes to haircare – her top tip is not to wash it too regularly. “I don’t wash my hair every day, which keeps it healthy – it doesn’t dry out,” she says. Gigi also swears by applying SPF to her hair to keep UV rays at bay.…

Wearing matching outfits, the new mum introduced Violet on her Facebook Live series Cooking with Joss together with fiancé Cody DaLuz, who couldn’t look prouder as he cuddled his baby girl (below, with Joss). “I have a very special little bun that I’ve been making.

There is no need to read between the lines to recognise the Duchess of Cornwall’s commitment to literacy, and she recently explained that her love of books was inspired by her father Major Bruce Shand. In a video released to promote her new book club The Reading Room, Camilla described Bruce, who died in 2006, as “probably the best-read man I’ve come across”. She said: “He devoured books. I think the love of books was ingrained in us because it was there from such an early age.” The Duchess (above), a patron of charities including BookTrust and First Story, launched The Reading Room last month to celebrate literature around the world. In an interview with author and illustrator Charlie Mackesy, she said that during lockdown she had “immersed myself into…

KYLIE MINOGUE Pop star denies engagement rumours A spokeswoman for Kylie Minogue has denied reports that she is engaged to GQ magazine creative director Paul Solomons, saying: “It’s not true. They are happy as they are.” Last week, actress Billie Piper referred to Paul, 46, as the singer’s fiancé in an interview, and Paul’s stepmother Gloria Solomons then told a newspaper: “She’s very nice, I’m thrilled they’re engaged. It’s very exciting. But I cannot tell you any more because I’ve been told not to. I respect my son and I respect Kylie too much to say any more.” Kylie, 52, and Paul have been dating for nearly three years after being introduced by mutual friends. “We’re really low key, we’re very real, very supportive,” she has said of her beau.…
