When it came to putting this issue of WHO together with the team, I was really pleased to note that we are featuring interviews with a number of inspiring Australian women.

Read the story and check out all the gorgeous pictures from page 22.

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have called time on their seven-year marriage, after tying the knot in Florida in 2015. “We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the pair shared in a joint statement. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.” Speculation on the state of their marriage ramped up on July 11, after Manganiello, 46, shared a “cold” birthday tribute to the Modern Family actress on Instagram while she was celebrating her 51st birthday in Italy with friends. Now, sources have revealed that they “grew apart after the true versions of themselves started showing”. “Joe is a big kid … he chases fun,”…

who’s news Jane Birkin has died at her home in Paris aged 76. The British-born singer and actress was a much-loved star in France, with their president, Emmanuel Macron, paying his respects on social media. “Jane Birkin was a French icon,” he tweeted. “She bequeaths us a legacy of songs and images that will never leave us.” While Birkin was well-known for her 12-year relationship with songwriter Serge Gainsbourg – recording the iconic track ‘Je t’aime… moi non plus’ with him – she was also a model and a fashion icon, becoming the muse behind the famed Hermès Birkin handbag in 1984. She leaves behind two daughters, actress Charlotte Gainsbourg and singer Lou Doillon. Her first child, Kate Barry, a fashion photographer who worked for Vogue, died in 2013 at…

who’s news Teen star from the ‘80s, Anthony Michael Hall, is a first-time dad at 55. The actor and his wife, actress Lucia Oskerova, 32, welcomed a son on June 1. The couple named their new arrival Michael Anthony Hall II, after his famous dad’s birth name which was switched around later in life. “It’s great. We’re excited,” the Sixteen Candles star told People magazine. “That first month of parenting is pretty wild.” The doting dad is being as hands-on as he can. “In-between his breastfeeding, I get to give him his bottles, and I can tell you, this kid has some appetite,” Hall says. “Everything that everybody tells you is pretty true: you lose sleep and it’s the craziest time, but it’s the best time. So we’re really enjoying…

Before Prince George could even think about heading off to his parents’ idyllic country retreat in Norfolk for school holidays and a summer of fun – not to mention celebrating his 10th birthday with friends – there was work to be done. On July 14, the young royal was busy undertaking official duties, attending the huge Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. Flanked by the Prince and Princess of Wales and his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, George was given the important task of pressing a button to partially raise the ramp of the C-17 transporter aircraft the family were being given a tour of. It was the same plane that was used to transport the late Queen Elizabeth’s coffin to London for…

DANCING WITH THE STARS Interview “I had no idea dancers were such extraordinary athletes”–GAY Since she burst onto the screen as nursing unit manager Gabrielle Jaeger on All Saints in 2006, Virginia Gay has been a staple on Aussie TV screens. During her almost two-decade long career, she’s tried her hand at everything from drama to comedy, and she’s even been known to belt out the odd tune with her powerhouse voice. In fact, it seems like the only thing that’s been stopping the 41-year-old star being labelled as a triple threat is her lack of dance skills. That is, until now. For the last few weeks, Gay has been wowing viewers while taking to the stage to compete for the Mirrorball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars.…

For some people, winter is a time to enjoy crisp outdoor walks and cosy nights in front of the heater. However, for others it can kickstart a noticeable mood shift widely known as the winter blues, or in more serious cases, seasonal affective disorder (SAD). If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. “It’s quite common for people to feel a bit lower in mood in winter,” says Mary Spillane, a clinical psychologist and mental health expert for Headspace App. WHY DOES IT HAPPEN? The exact reason for the winter blues isn’t known, but some scientists believe that the shorter and darker days can bring on a shift in mood for some people. “There’s a theory that the seasonal change and the changes in lights actually interrupt our body clock,”…

1 STRIPED JUMPER It’s back to basics with this wardrobe staple firmly in the fashion spotlight. Whether it’s a turtleneck, boat neck or chunkier style, a nautical white jumper with navy stripes is the hero piece this winter. Style it with anything from jeans and trousers to skirts. 2 SQUARE TOES Need a new everyday boot to complete your outfit? Try a low heeled, square toe ankle boot. This combination means they’re comfy enough to run around in all day, while ticking the fashion box with the trending toe shape. Swap your usual black for chocolate brown to mix things up. 3 DROP WAIST If you haven’t already, try updating your wardrobe with a pair of lower-waist jeans. Don’t feel you have to take the trend back to the extremes…

Once makeup and skincare were mutually exclusive – one did not encroach on the other’s patch. But things have changed. A lot. This year we’ve seen a backlash against heavy, time-consuming makeup looks and instead welcomed a new obsession with clear, radiant skin and seeing our socials suddenly flooded with makeup-free selfies. Enter skinimalism: using fewer products in our daily routines for better, less-irritated, glowing skin. The new movement saw us paring back our Korean beauty-inspired 14-step (or more) routines to a mere three or four. And the less-is-more train of thought caught on in makeup routines too. Brands began coming up with innovative ways to boost the health of skin via cosmetics. In some cases, this new breed of foundation means we can even skip the moisturiser or serum…

Tip A soft beanbag or floor pillow can create instant cosiness – perfect for this time of year. Tip Don’t be afraid to mix textures. Pair a velvet pillow with a tufted or satin finish cushion.…

What first drew you into the wine industry? I grew up in Armidale in New South Wales. I didn’t come from a wine family background, I just loved the idea of winemaking and really wanted to study it, so I enrolled at Roseworthy University in South Australia. I was one of the youngest people studying winemaking there and was clueless about what was involved in making wine, but it was even more interesting and inspiring than I expected it to be. I came to Coonawarra as a young winemaker and fell in love with the region, the terra rossa soil and with Wynns Coonawarra Estate, where I have worked since 1998. What’s the best part of your job? What’s the bit you love the most? I love that I get…

The couple, who secretly married in May 2021, are believed to have separated in January – after the real estate agent made a “last-ditch attempt to save their marriage” by visiting the singer, 30, in London where she was shooting Wicked. “They came to the decision together,” says a source. “They were having problems before January, but they want to remain best friends.”…

who’s news Lea Michele has posted a touching tribute to her late Glee co-star, Cory Monteith, a decade after his death. On July 13, the actress shared a black-and-white snap of her with her former boyfriend on Instagram, alongside some candid words to Monteith. “Hey you. 10 years,” Michele, 36, captioned the photo. “It feels like only yesterday that you were here and yet a million years ago all at the same time. I hold all of our memories in my heart where they will stay safe and never forgotten. We miss you every day and will never forget the light you … brought to us all. I miss you big guy.” While Michele and Monteith starred together in the hit show from 2009, their off-screen romance didn’t…

Actors have joined screenwriters in walking off the job, a historic move that has Hollywood grinding to an immediate halt. On July 14, members of the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) stopped work, joining members of the Writers Guild of America who have been protesting since May 2 – in the biggest tandem strike in over 60 years. Here, WHO breaks down why the walkout happened, who is involved and what it means for the future of entertainment and all your favourite TV shows. HOW DID IT START? The decision to strike came hours after contract negotiations with companies such as Netflix, Amazon, Disney and Warner Bros. failed to pass before the July 12 deadline. Both writers and actors had been back-and-forth with…

Women who INSPIREReal life The nation cheered on Alice Tait as she clinched multiple gold medals for Australia at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Alice, known by her maiden name Mills, then went on to make her country proud at the Beijing Olympics four years later, smashing world records as she went. When her career in sport came to an end in 2012, she hung up her swimming cap and retired to an even more purposeful career as a nurse. Today, the 37-year-old mother-of-two works in paediatric operating theatres at Queensland Children’s Hospital. To mark DonateLife Week, a campaign encouraging Australians to register to be an organ and tissue donor, Alice is sharing her story and asking households to talk about joining the donor list before it’s too late. “The first…

Feel like your locks have been looking a little less than lush lately? Well, fear not! We’ve consulted the pros to get their expert advice on how to treat some of the most common hair woes. DISAPPEARING STRANDS CONSIDER THE CAUSE: To treat thinning hair, you’ll need to get to the root cause, which can be anything from pregnancy and illness, to damaged strands. “If your hair loss is at the scalp, then often it’s related to internal factors,” explains Larry King, founder of Larry King Haircare and a celebrity hairstylist. “If the thinning is directly on the hair shaft, this is likely due to chemicals and heat. Hair also has a natural cycle, so you will have periods where hair feels thinner.” MAKE A PLAN: For thinning mid-lengths due…

What was the last book you read? Weasels in the Attic by Hiroko Oyamada. Not only does its title suggest it’s a book for kindergarten kids, there’s a cartoon weasel on the cover. So, I looked like a fully grown toddler reading it, even though it’s a proper sophisticated adult book with death and sex! What was the last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I fall asleep to Catholic conservative podcasts. When was the last time you danced in public? I did a breakdance class during school holidays in primary school. Been keeping it to myself since then. What was your last TV obsession? To Catch a Predator on YouTube. When was the last time you were starstruck? I saw Beck at a bar in Los Angeles. He told me…

who’s news It’s the world’s longest-running tennis tournament and often considered the most prestigious, so it’s no surprise that Wimbledon attracts as high calibre of A-list fans in the stands as it does players on the court. And this year didn’t disappoint. With the Hollywood writers’ strike shutting down production and leaving actors with extra time on their hands (see page 12), stars of the big and small screen joined British aristocrats at the All England Lawn, Tennis and Croquet Club in London from July 15 and 16 for the finals. Making Wimbledon history, the unranked Czech player Marketa Vondrousova, 24, beat world number six Ons Jabeur, 28, during the women’s final to become the first unseeded player to win the prestigious grand slam. “It’s such a crazy journey,” she…

Lindsay Lohan has given birth to her first child, a baby boy named Luai, with husband Bader Shammas. “The family is over the moon in love,” a representative for the actress, 37, said in a statement. Lohan gave birth in Dubai, where the couple live, but the pair are yet to reveal any more details about their new addition. However, Lohan’s mother Dina divulged to Us Weekly on July 17 that the baby had come “two days early” and that she was “so excited” to meet the little one. “Overwhelmed with love and joy!” she added. Lohan and Shammas went public with their relationship in February 2020, with the financier popping the question less than a year later. They secretly tied the knot in April 2022, with the actress revealing…

The path hasn’t always been an easy one for Zayn Malik – or his former bandmates (see breakout) – since he walked away from One Direction in 2015. But the musician has finally found his new purpose in life all thanks to his baby girl, Khai. “Since I’ve had my daughter, the main thing in my mind is trying to be a good example to her,” the very private singer opened up on the Call Her Daddy podcast while giving his first interview in six years. “That’s why I’m even doing this interview, you know? I used to get a lot of anxiety around having a conversation like this. And I want her to be able to look at me and be like, ‘My dad’s doing this.’” Malik and ex…

Interview She might not be the one stepping onto the field wearing green and gold when the Matildas kick off their first FIFA Women’s World Cup match on July 20, but Mel McLaughlin admits she’s probably equal parts as excited and nervous as the players are. “It’s just such a massive thing and it makes you just want to do the best job that you can, I’m obviously nervous,” the sports presenter, who will play a leading role in Seven’s coverage of the tournament, tells WHO. “But it’s also just unbelievably exciting.” Despite her nerves, this definitely isn’t the 43-year-old’s first rodeo. McLaughlin has been an integral part of Australian sporting news since making her television debut on Sky News. A regular on Fox Sports in the late noughties, McLaughlin…

BEAUTY Tell us about the inspiration behind your new fragrance? There was a message and reason around my new scent, Power. It’s about having fluidity in the moment, moving forward, climbing and having resilience. The mood now is that people want a lot of colour. They want to feel fresh and this fragrance is about harnessing the strength and self-confidence to be who you want to be. How do you want people to feel with it on? I wanted this fragrance to feel like you are wearing it – it’s not wearing you. I love that it has notes like the dreamwood and cedarwood. And the milky musk [is so good], while the vanilla bourbon has a bit of a richness to it, which is nice. The idea is that…
