Hello! After a whirlwind eight months on maternity leave, I’m back. As excited as I am to return to work, I was hit with some serious mum guilt when I dropped my daughter at daycare. However, I’ve been inspired this week by Jennifer Lopez (Super Bowl Halftime Show, anyone?). The talented singer is Superwoman in every sense of the word. She slays motherhood, she’s kicking career goals and she looks like that (p18). If you ever doubted that women can have it all, she’s proof that we can. Of course, it’s not without hard work, but nothing worthwhile comes easy, right? So, if you have a burning desire to do something – do it! *Signs up for pole dancing classes.*…

While some were still suffering from a Super Bowl hangover, Kendall Jenner and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Ben Simmons continued the party poolside at their lavish hotel in Miami! The model, 24, who also appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show last week, lounged in the sun beside her Australian basketballer beau, 23. Until going public poolside, Kenny has kept her relationship with the Philadelphia 76ers star on the down low. ‘I’m very young and right now I feel like relationships aren’t always super-certain,’ says Kendall, who’s also been linked to Harry Styles. ‘I don’t want to bring too much attention to something if you don’t really know long term what it’s going to be.’ But after also being spotted leaving a Super Bowl party together on February 2, it seems…

Well, that was fast! Just 12 days after tying the knot, Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters have put their relationship on pause. The former Baywatch star and the movie producer wed at a private ceremony in Malibu on January 20. But Pamela, 52, has admitted the union – both the pair’s fifth marriage – was never formalised. They’re now taking ‘time apart to re-evaluate what [they] want from life and from one another’. It’s not Pam’s first mini marriage. Her previous nuptials, including two marriages to Rick Salomon, didn’t last long either.…

Liam Hemsworth might have thought that his divorce being finalised last week would get his ex Miley Cyrus off his case, but he has another thing coming. According to sources, the 27-year-old pop star has ‘renewed efforts to make his life miserable’ after being hurt that he moved on so quickly with 21-year-old Aussie model Gabriella Brooks. Despite Liam putting distance between him and his ex-wife by spending more time in Byron Bay after legally ending his eight-month marriage, we’re told Miley is still trying to wreak havoc. And while The Hunger Games actor isn’t reacting publicly, sources say he’s ‘over’ his ex’s drama. ‘Miley really seems to want to get back at Liam,’ tells a source. ‘She can’t believe that despite her efforts to paint him as a moody…

WHAT Vegan hair colour ‘Contrary to what people think, vegan hair colour has no limitations,’ says salon owner Simon Bright. ‘It can lighten, it’s gentle and it’s plant-based with the best gloss and colour pay-off I’ve ever seen.’ VERDICT ‘I’ve been growing out my highlights for a while, but my locks desperately needed a freshen up. I’m so happy with my new multi-tonal chocolate colour – and I didn’t need to compromise my hair condition! Elise Wilson, Beauty Editor WHERE Jonny + June Hair, Sydney jonny junehair.com…

Let it be said, the gym isn’t short on hotties. And with three quarters of people saying they’d rather meet someone while working out than at a bar, the new trend for fitness speed dating or ‘datercise’ was always going to be a matter of time! ‘There is overall something special about people connecting in general through fitness,’ says Steven Macecevic, who is CEO of Datefit, a dating app that runs fitness-infused speed dating sessions. ‘You’re meeting someone that right off the bat has a common lifestyle interest, your endorphins are fully activated during exercise, and you get to engage with someone in a safe environment,’ he explains. The events are currently based in the US, but there are plans to expand into Australia this July.…

JENNIFER ANISTON With a new season of her critically acclaimed series The Morning Show in the works, Jen says we definitely don’t need to worry about whether she’s doing OK. ‘With all due respect, I’m not heartbroken,’ she said following her 2018 divorce from Justin Theroux. ‘I’m very busy.’ DREW BARRYMORE ‘I have fought my way to a deeper happiness on my own, and I love being independent,’ says the single mum-of-two. Drew believes she’s  ‘still a romantic’, adding, ‘Don’t waste the day being sad about what you don’t have. Be happy about what you do have. It’s there. I promise.’ MINDY KALING ‘I didn’t think I’d have a child before I got married, but hey, it turned out that way, and I wouldn’t change a thing,’ says Mindy, who’s…

She’s always maintained an enviable model’s figure, but lately Charlize Theron has appeared in public looking slimmer than ever. Friends fear her Oscars prep – Charlize is nominated for this year’s Best Actress Academy Award – is taking its toll on the 44-year-old star. ‘Her arms look like sticks and her legs have virtually no flesh on them,’ a friend close to the Bombshell actress divulges. ‘She does a punishing workout every day and consumes little more than juices, salads and fruits.’ In fact, just last week, a red-faced Charlize was snapped on the streets of LA following an intense yoga workout. ‘She was out of breath and sweaty, too,’ commented an onlooker. ‘It looked like she’d really smashed it in class.’ Fans first noticed the 177cm-tall star was showing…

“BEING A MUM IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING SHE EVER IMAGINED” Ever since they announced they’d welcomed baby daughter Raddix Chloe Wildflower, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden haven’t been able to wipe the smiles off their faces. The pair said they felt ‘happy, blessed and grateful’ when they shared the news about their daughter’s arrival – via surrogate – on December 30. Now a source tells OK! Cam has been overcome in recent weeks by just how much she’s relishing every minute of motherhood. ‘The late-night feedings, the sweet cuddle sessions and joining in on lullabies that Benji’s written himself – being a mum is better than anything she ever imagined,’ the insider tells. ‘She and Benji are such loving, super-protective parents. Cam doesn’t even want to take the baby out…

HOLA MIAMI! Name a more iconic duo... we’ll wait!

Now they’ve both been released from the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle, Ryan Gallagher and Charlotte Crosby can pursue their relationship IRL – and neither of them can wait to take their love to the next level! ‘I just wanted to jump on Ryan when I got out,’ gushed Charlotte, 29, while on the phone to OK!. ‘I knew I’d be in for a treat because when we were in bed in camp, I could feel him against me leg!’ While Charlotte is joking about her new man’s equipment, she’s deadly serious when it comes to how she really feels about the former MAFS star. ‘I’ve never felt about anyone like I do about him,’ she insists. ‘I want to marry him and have all his…

When she stepped out in LA last week showing off what onlookers claim is a small baby bump, it appears that actress Leighton Meester has some gossip to share! ‘She definitely looked pregnant,’ commented a source. ‘I’m totally getting baby vibes,’ quipped another. If Leighton, 33, is adding to her family with husband Adam Brody, 40, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise. Not only has the Gossip Girl star said she’s ‘lucky’ to be a mum, but her daughter Arlo will celebrate her fifth birthday in August. It seems all the signs are pointing to a new family member this year!…

When Jennifer Lopez hit the stage for the 2020 Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show, fans couldn’t believe their eyes. The 50-year-old’s bod looked abs-olutely amazing as she twirled, twerked and twisted her way through the high energy performance – causing women decades younger to jump on Google to find out her secrets. Luckily, OK! had already done the hard work to share what the superstar does to stay in shape. For starters, the mum-of-two called on her go-to 10-day sugar and carb-free diet to get her body Super Bowl ready. ‘I’m not going to lie, it’s hard – no fruit, no tomatoes,’ she tells. ‘We eat a lot of meat, fish and vegetables.’ While the star has always cut a flawless figure, she’s upped the ante since starring as a…

In the immortal words of Hugh Grant’s Prime Minister David, ‘Love actually… is all around’ – and we’re feeling it in spades right now. But as Valentine’s Day approaches, we’re not just relying on the boys to spoil us. We’re feeling loads of love in the way of self-care Sundays, Galentine’s planning, wardrobe overhauls (turn to page 32 for one of the best-looking lingerie round-ups I’ve ever seen in my magazine career) and giving in to your sweet tooth. It wasn’t just all the single ladies at Star Style who voted hell yes to running our story on harnessing the power of being sans a significant other – as much as I adore my better half, I’m so thrilled to be sharing this inaugural ode to just general love.

Kristine Froseth & Margot Robbie Night or day, the classic Chanel tweed suit is an icon. Kristine added a teal quilted bag in NY, and Margot pared it back with a singlet and easy slides in Cannes. Alessandra Ambrosio & Kyle Richards Effortlessly chic, Alessandra wore her Retrofete robe with a nude bikini and sandals, then Kyle sparkled in emerald with nude heels.…

FULL METAL You have our permission to break out all the glimmers. Swipe your lips, eyes or cheeks (or coordinate all three) with metallic shades of copper, bronze and rose gold for a flattering, girly glow. Whether you opt for a gilded pout or statement eyes, the trick is to build colour with gleaming formulas that catch the light (and maybe your crush, too) and gives your features that lit-from-within glow. TIP This look deserves full and fluffy brows – create hair-like flicks with a fine-tip pencil followed up with a brow soap. COLOUR CODE For a Valentine’s date look that appears effortless, go for bold colours with a matte finish on eyelids or lips, and keep the rest of your complexion bare. Start with a radiance-boosting foundation, rounding out…

Didn’t they tell you she was a savage? Hours after news broke Rihanna and Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel had split, she was spotted with someone new: ASAP Rocky! The singer and the rapper, both 31, were caught hanging out backstage at the annual Yams Day Benefit Concert in Brooklyn on January 17 – and while the pair were romantically linked in 2013, sources say the singer doesn’t have Love On The Brain! ‘They’ve always had a friends-with-benefits relationship,’ a source tells, ‘where they don’t have to explain anything to each other or expect much because they’re so busy working and travelling.’ It’s the no-strings-attached aspect of their rebound romance that RiRi finds so attractive. ‘Rihanna really loved Hassan and the break-up has been hard on her,’ the source says. ‘She…

She’s just transitioned from single life to being a wife – but that’s not the only transformation Married at First Sight’s Cathy Evans has undergone. ‘After gaining weight, thanks to partying at uni, I got into body building four years ago,’ Cathy, 27, tells OK! exclusively. ‘Friends of mine were into it and as I started finding out more about it I got inspired. I wanted to get a body I could be proud of.’ After some serious hard work in the gym, Cathy was ready to strut her ripped stuff on stage! ‘I got down to a very ripped 49kg and placed sixth in a national body building comp,’ she explains. ‘It was incredible to hear people cheering my name.’ But after achieving that success, a move from New…

It’s meant to be the most special day of her life, but Princess Beatrice has been left livid after constant delays to her wedding plans. The 31-year-old got engaged to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 37, in September last year. But Beatrice has reportedly been forced to delay her wedding because of the controversy over her father Prince Andrew’s links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Prince Harry and wife Duchess Meghan’s decision to step down as senior royals. ‘The decision has been delayed repeatedly because of all the issues, but finally they have something that seems to work,’ tells an insider, who adds the couple are planning to tie the knot on May 29. ‘The press officers of all the palaces hope to portray the Beatrice wedding as the big event that…

Model Kaia Gerber stunned fans when she began dating Saturday Night Live bad boy Pete Davidson – only for the romance to fizzle out months later amid whispers of a secret pregnancy. Now the 18-year-old has hit headlines again, after posting a cryptic Instagram post that seemingly refers to the rumours. Kaia posted a snap of herself holding an ice-cream tub, with her belly slightly protruding, and the book The One Minute Mother. ‘Read into this,’ she captioned the shot. Clearly the young star’s got something on her mind, but is it a bub? GONE BABY GONE Kaia’s break-up with Pete reportedly came as a relief to her parents, Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford. ‘I think they’re hoping [it] fizzles out,’ said an insider in December.…

Though Renée Zellweger is experiencing a streak of success at awards shows this season, the same can’t be said for her love-life. Most recently, the Judy star dated musician Doyle Bramhall II. But since their split in 2019, after seven years together, insiders claim her nitpicking has prevented her from finding another steady romance. ‘She has major trust issues, so she screens men thrice over before even agreeing to dinner,’ the insider says of the actress, whose marriage to Kenny Chesney ended after four months in 2005. ‘It’s really awkward on dates, when she lets on how much she knows about a guy before the entrees have even arrived.’ And in cases where the first outings do go nicely, the star, 50, inadvertently sabotages things by getting clingy. ‘She means…

1 IT KEEPS YOU ACCOUNTABLE Getting to those early HIIT classes is easier when you have someone to motivate you.

Why do we see being single as such a failing? Why are we still so desperate to find The One? In 2020, why are we not evolving? Why are we still waiting for our prince or princess to come along and rescue us from our lonely, sad lives? I’ll tell you why, it’s because we don’t like the company we keep. Most of us can’t be alone and single for long, nor can we do it very well. I mean truly alone, where you’re not obsessing about meeting someone. It means not being consumed with our next lover or relationship, just being really alone and loving it. We just don’t know how to love ourselves single and it’s time we start. This Valentine’s Day, if you find yourself alone, it’s…
