Jennifer Lopez and fiancé Alex Rodriguez have four kids between them – and it looks like a fifth might be in the planning stages! “Jen wants them to have a child of their own and doesn’t like leaving things to chance,” says an insider. “She’s aware that at her age [49] it could take years of IVF. She feels like they’re in a position to help a child in need and wants to adopt from Puerto Rico, where she has family.” J.Lo and A-Rod would join the ranks of celebs who’ve adopted children, including Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise and Madonna. In fact, Jen played an adoptive mum in the 2012 film What To Expect When You’re Expecting and revealed at the time, “I can see how somebody can do this.”…

It’s been the question on everyone’s lips for quite some time. And now Charlize Theron has confirmed that her eldest child Jackson, seven, is transgender and is being raised as a girl. “Yes, I thought she was a boy too – until she looked at me when she was three years old and said, ‘I am not a boy!’” the actress recently shared of Jackson, whom she adopted in 2012. “So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive.” However, while Charlize, who’s also mum to daughter August, has certainly embraced Jackson’s choices, spies tell NW that it still has been an adjustment for the actress. “Charlize is an amazing mum and she wants to…

Heidi Latcham went into Married At First Sight hoping to find her happily ever after with the man of her dreams. Instead, the bubbly radio host left the experiment heartbroken and humiliated after her marriage to gas-lighting husband Mike Gunner imploded just two days after she relocated to the Gold Coast to begin their lives together. Since their split was revealed, Mike has enjoyed romances with a bevy of beauties. However, it’s Heidi who’s ultimately getting the last laugh, as NW can exclusively reveal that she’s moved on too... with Australia’s very own Prince Charming, Dr Chris Brown. Talk about trading up! “It’s still early days, but word is they’ve been on a few sneaky dates while she’s been down in Sydney visiting Cam and Jules,” an insider divulges. As…

She may appear to have all the confidence of a Kardashian (with a lookalike face and body to boot!) but Martha Kalifatidis has been left down in the dumps after fans took the MAFS star to town recently over allegedly photoshopping her Insta snaps and a series of “self-indulgent” social media posts. The 30-year-old, who is no stranger to Instagram trolling, was accused of editing a thigh gap into one of her Instagram selfies, plus posting a racy nude snap of herself – with people calling the pics “tacky” and “sad”. And while hubby Michael Brunelli quickly jumped to his bride’s defence, saying it was his job to “support” his partner and help her “be confident” in her body, Martha hasn’t taken the trolling too well – hitting back at…

Celine Dion wittered on about the power of love, but she’s now discovered that the power of friendship only goes so far! The Canadian crooner, 51, has been, erm, Dion for her pal Angelina Jolie to play her in the biopic of her life – but turns out Ange has had cause to, well, think twice. “For years now, Celine’s big passion has been a musical movie adaptation of her life, career and marriage to Rene [Angelil],” whispers an insider. “She wants this to happen for both her kids and her fans – and was set on Ange landing the part. But Ange has decided her schedule is simply too full for her to take on the project.” Oh, no! It would have been perfect casting, right down to the…

BETTE MIDLER & MARTIN VON HASELBERG (34 YEARS) “We checked in to the wedding suite at Caesars Palace. It was 2am, we got our licence and wound up at the Candlelight Wedding Chapel,” Bette recalled of her 1984 nuptials. “We put on [the] soundtrack of Fellini’s Juliet Of The Spirits and got teary-eyed. The guy who read the ceremony was an Elvis impersonator.” Sounds so romantic, doesn’t it? JON BON JOVI & DOROTHEA HURLEY (30 YEARS) It’s his life! Jon caused hysteria among his fans when he and his high-school sweetheart eloped to Vegas and wed at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in 1989. “We did it for us and didn’t give a damn,” he shared. “I got a lot of heat from it, between the band [and] my parents. Everybody…

For almost two weeks, Taylor Swift teased fans with the date April 26. Swifties promptly decided that the pop star would be dropping new music on that day – her first since 2017’s Reputation – but Tay kept things ambiguous with a series of pastel, heart and cat-filled Instagram posts, a countdown clock on her website and billboards around the world, including Down Under. Indeed, she went all out to build excitement. Now, NW can reveal her secret rivalry with fellow chart-topper Ariana Grande is part of the reason for the suspense... “Taylor has been watching Ariana’s massive success over the past year and she can’t help but feel jealous,” reveals an insider. “She’s plotting to get back on top!” Though Taylor, 29, was on her hit Reputation stadium tour…

MAFS might no longer be on our screens, but the drama continues – and thank the sweet baby cheeses you’ve got the NW-ettes to keep you up with the goss!

Nine years after she revealed she’d signed a book deal, the ink has dried on the last pages of Demi Moore’s memoir. But with the actress set to spill all about her past marriages and more, the September release date has her ex Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis quaking in their boots! “He more than anyone knew this was in the works, as Demi’s talked about it forever. She was carrying a Dictaphone around with her when they were married, recording her thoughts and memories for this tell-all she dreamed about penning one day,” shares an insider. “Now it’s happening and Ashton’s freaked. He wants reassurances – in person – that Demi won’t be embarrassing him.” And he’s not the only one! “Pretty much everyone in Demi’s circle…

Kate Moss is sober, in love and heading down the aisle – but some of her former party pals won’t be on hand to watch her and Count Nikolai von Bismarck say “I do”. Yep, the supermodel, 45, recently reached her 18-month sobriety milestone and wants to stay that way. Thus, she’s decided the wedding guest list won’t include her hard-drinking pals, including Cara Delevingne, Rita Ora and Courtney Love. “She and Nikolai have said that their wedding would be booze-free because so much of their relationship has been about them getting through this sober period in their lives together and it making them so much stronger as a couple,” a source tells. “Kate has a lot of wild mates so she’s already finding herself having to leave a few…

The sky has fallen in on Adele’s marriage, with the superstar and her charity CEO husband Simon Konecki calling it quits after seven years together. But with several sources claiming the estranged couple actually separated on the sly nearly 12 months ago, rumour has it the mum-of-one has been enjoying a secret rebound fling with Drake! Indeed, in February, Adele and Drizzy enjoyed what can only be described as date night as they grabbed dinner at Jerry’s Famous Deli in LA, before hiring out an entire bowling venue and chilling at a vape lounge. This came hot on the heels of Adele attending one of the rapper’s Aubrey & The Three Migos shows in October last year. In a rare Instagram post she gushed, “[Drake] blew my mind tonight. Way…

She was famously dumped by hubby Dan Webb for Jessika Power – and history is sadly repeating itself IRL for Tamara Joy. Just weeks after Tam and fellow MAFS star Mick Gould were spotted on several dates, it seems the budding romance has gone kaput – and the farmer’s already moved on with another reality babe! Yep, Mick and former Bachie star Kayla Gray – from Nick Cummins’ season – have been putting on some major PDA of late. Awkies! “Poor Tam, that girl can’t catch a break,” one fan commented. We think it’s time to look elsewhere, girl!…

If looks could kill, Brie Larson would’ve keeled over at the Avengers: Endgame world premiere in LA last week. Yep, it appears Elsa Pataky, aka Mrs Chris Hemsworth, has a superpower of her own – the death stare! Shooting daggers in Brie’s direction, Elsa was doing everything she could to warn her hubby’s co-star to back off him – without actually verbalising it. A despondent Chris did his best to ignore the tension in front of cameras, but Elsa’s MO was clear – especially in light of rumours that Captain Marvel’s flirty scenes with Thor have spilled over into real life. Indeed, Brie and Chris are thought to have grown just as close off camera. And sources tell NW Elsa’s not happy, Jan! “It’s easy to see that Brie and…

Britney Spears’s April 3 Instagram post was short and to the point: “We all need to take time for a little ‘me time’.” Coinciding with reports that the 37-year-old had checked into a wellness facility in the wake of her dad Jamie’s declining health, the message earned her kudos for being proactive about her problems. However, not everyone was persuaded it was Britney’s choice to seek treatment. Indeed, fans are convinced Brit was being held against her will – and her mum, Lynne, added fuel to the fire by reportedly liking several “#FreeBritney” posts recently. Adding to concerns about her wellbeing, Brit looked dishevelled when spotted for the first time since supposedly voluntarily admitting herself a month ago. Guarded by her boyfriend Sam Asghari, the singer was spotted at the…

Mass appeal! Gwen Stefani dresses it up in leopard print and thigh-high boots as she heads to Sunday Mass with partner Blake Shelton and kids Kingston, Zuma and Apollo. There’s, ahem, no doubt Gwen’s boys share a close bond with Blake, given they’ve taken to dressing like him. Yep, from the boots to the plaid, they’re a couple of bootscootin’ cowboys. Yee-haw! Suri cruises into her teens It seems like it was just yesterday that Suri Cruise made her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair with folks Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes – and now she’s a bona fide teenager! The fashionista arrives at JFK Airport in New York City with her mum and besties after celebrating her 13th birthday with a trip to Paris. So jell! Witch, please...…

Mario, the man behind Kimmy’s signature beauty look – as well as the creator of Cardi B’s “Okurrr” catchphrase (“He used to say it in the glam chair all the time!” spills Kim) – dishes on his star client’s beauty evolution... How have you changed Kim’s beauty style over the years? At the very beginning, she was into extremely huge lashes and I hated them! And I used to go super-light under her eyes with concealer – we loved it at the time, but obviously you evolve and grow. How much planning goes into Kim’s make-up? Unless a photographer wants to discuss it first, it’s usually done in the moment. What are you guys into now? She’d started going a little bit more glam with lips and…

She’s never been shy about sharing all aspects of herself (ahem, real or otherwise) but Brandi Glanville’s recent antics have got even the outspoken former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star turning red with embarrassment. “For those of you that want to judge me, you can, all you want,” she shared after unflattering pictures of the “wasted” 46-year-old surfaced. “But I’m telling you, I’m embarrassed.” The snaps of Brandi – looking incredibly messy – quickly sent her into a spiral. “Sometimes, you know, you see your friends with their perfect husbands and they have their kids full-time, and I don’t have that. And then there’s a worry that I’m going to grow old alone,” continued Brandi, who shares sons Mason, 15, and Jake, 12, with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian. “I know…

Their Parisian romance may not have worked out, but there are no hard feelings…

Forget Brokeback Mountain – Michelle Williams has made a return visit to Broken-hearted Mountain, with sources confirming the actress has split from her husband Phil Elverum after less than a year of marriage. Michelle, 38, attended the screening of her new miniseries Fosse/Verdon – in which she plays Gwen Verdon, dancer and partner of legendary choreographer Bob Fosse – minus her wedding ring, and insiders confirmed soon after that she and Phil have parted ways. The actress is famously discreet about her private life, so the reasons behind the speedy split can only be guessed at... “When she met Phil, she threw herself into their relationship and loved that it was so secret,” shares a spy. “She truly thought things would be different this time and that she’d found her…

It wasn’t long after word spread that Emma Roberts and her former fiancé Evan Peters had split that the 28-year-old was seen getting cosy with Garrett Hedlund. And now, just over a month later, it seems the actress is well and truly moving on with her new man! Emma and Garrett, 34, were spotted out in LA on April 21 looking very loved up. However, it was the ring on Em’s wedding finger that really had everyone talking! “Jeez she didn’t waste any time,” shared one commenter online. “Engaged?” questioned another. If the pair are actually engaged, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising. “Emma’s always been an all-or-nothing kind of girl,” says a source. “She and Garrett are really cute together, but they only just got out of other…

She struggled with sciatica, bronchitis and other ailments during her third pregnancy – so it’s no wonder Jessica Simpson has told her hubby Eric Johnson that she’s done having children! “Jessica thanks her lucky stars that their daughter Birdie was born healthy – she really had fears over it while she was sick,” a close friend reveals. “It took so much out of her.” According to the pal, Jess, 38, is so serious about her declaration that she wants Eric, 39, to “have a little snip-snip” to ensure there are no more surprises, even though the former NFL star would still like to expand their family. “Jessica was willing to entertain the idea before, but after this pregnancy, she’s shut down all baby talk,” reveals the friend. “If Eric doesn’t…

Adele is currently working on her next album (30?), which promises to be as epic and emotional as her first three mega-sellers 19, 21 and 25. And our source reckons the singer might have stuck it out in her marriage to use the unhappiness as material! “It all made sense when it came out that she was recording a heartbreaking new album,” spills the insider. “She needed to stick with Simon and cop the bad times because it was giving her inspiration.” And fans can’t wait! “I think we all know what happens next,” said one. “THE SADDEST MUSIC KNOWN TO MAN.”…

We know all about married at first sight... but when do we get our first sighting of Jules Robinson’s dress?! Days before she and fiancè Cameron Merchant celebrated their engagement with an epic star-studded party at Sydney’s Acre Eatery on April 21, blushing bride-to-be Jules hit the stores to track down the perfect gown for her big day, ably supported by bridesmaid and MAFS bestie Heidi Latcham. And it seems the girls might have succeeded in their quest – because after excitedly trying on various options, they left a Sydney boutique with a carry bag containing The Frock! It’s only been about two seconds since Cam got down on one knee and proposed to Jules, 37, for real during their MAFS vow renewal. “It just felt right,” 35-year-old Cam gushed…

Miley Cyrus can’t stop, won’t stop living the high life – and her hubby Liam Hemsworth has had it! Acting reckless at the Avengers: Endgame premiere, the smokin’ hot singer had to be smokin’ pot beforehand. Between flashing her tongue and her tits, the 26-year-old did nothing to hide her less-than-classy conduct, drawing attention to herself at every given chance. It’s the kind of OTT behaviour that could send long-time love Liam packing. “He doesn’t get why she has to tell the world about her questionable habits and wishes she’d stop showing off,” an insider reveals. “The other worry he has is that she’s slipping back into the bad old days in terms of her lifestyle. The trouble is, she won’t listen and just laughs in his face when he…

She’s a pro at keeping up appearances, but Khloe Kardashian checked into Heartbreak Hotel a helluva long time ago. “She puts on this mega-brave face, but in private Khloe’s basically forgotten how to function,” an insider tells NW. “She’s had some kind of emotional collapse – and you can’t really blame her. It’s been a year from hell – finding out your man is cheating as you’re about to give birth, then having him cheat on you 10 months later with your friend is enough to send anyone out of their minds.” Two months on from splitting with Tristan Thompson, Khloe’s still reeling. “The saddest thing about our story is that we could have made it work,” she lamented in a heartbreaking Instagram post last week. “If you cared about…

It’s not enough for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first child to have a posh godparent – it’s got to be a Posh godparent! Victoria Beckham is dead keen on filling that royal role for her pals Harry and Meghan, with an insider revealing that she feels she has a proper shot at doing so. “Vic has been spending quite a lot of time with Meghan lately and heard rumours that she may be asked,” details the source. “She absolutely loves having  a connection to royalty and it would be the ultimate honour.” However, there could be a big problem – in the form of Victoria’s bungling hubby David! “Victoria is terrified of him making some public mistake in the run-up to the birth,” shares the informant. “David seems…

1 IS LISA DOING OK? She’s shunned the spotlight ever since admitting her past struggles with addiction last year. And when Lisa Marie Presley stepped out in New York on April 22, the physical and emotional toll combined with the stress of her current divorce drama didn’t go unnoticed. “Lisa Marie’s struggles with drug addiction and alcohol abuse are no secret. In the past, when she was going through a difficult time, it would be easy for her to slip back into those old habits. She insists that she’s determined not to let that happen this time. However, that doesn’t mean that Lisa is taking care of herself,” an insider tells NW. “Instead, she’s indulging in junk food a lot. For her, it’s a lot better to be…
