Over on page 34 we bring you a whole host of celebs and their grown-up offspring. Prepare to be wowed by the pics and wonder where the time went! Over on page 22, we have an exclusive interview and photoshoot with Tammin Sursok, who takes us inside her new family home, chats about parenting and the big changes in store for her. Then, on page 16, Friends star Courteney Cox gets candid about the challenges she’s faced as amum – and how a break-up shock changed everything. Finally, congratulations to Nicole…

Nicole Kidman is many things to many different people. She’s an acclaimed actress, a producer, the wife of a country music superstar, and a mother. She Nalso tries to be the ultimate protector, having spent enormous effort sheltering the daughters she shares with Keith Urban, Sunday Rose, 15, and Faith Margaret, 13, from the public gaze. But late last month, Kidman used her very special night to debut Sunday and Faith – and in the presence of Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Watts and Michelle Pfeiffer, no less. The American Film Institute presented Kidman, 56, with a Lifetime Achievement Award on April 27, and on the red carpet, she was flanked by her husband, daughters, sister Antonia Kidman and niece Sybella. “There’s an enormous amount of luck in my…

It’s the announcement we’ve all been waiting for. TV funnyman Andy Lee, 42, and his partner Rebecca Harding, 33, are engaged! Lee shared the news on the Hamish & Andy podcast before confirming it in a sweet Instagram post, a decade after he and Harding first met in a Melbourne cafe. “People keep saying we’ve rushed into this but we don’t care what people say,” the duo quipped in the joint post, which was accompanied by photos of Lee planting a kiss on Harding’s cheek and Harding showing off her sparkling ring. The development overjoyed friends and fans of the couple, coming less than a year after Lee was forced to deny the pair had already secretly wed on an episode of the Kyle and Jackie OShow. Lee and Harding…

Celebrity If you follow actress Courteney Cox on Instagram, you’ll know she regularly posts about both her daughter, Coco, and boyfriend, Johnny McDaid, offering a heartfelt glimpse into her personal life. Now, in a new podcast episode, Cox has shared a different side of both relationships, revealing previously private details of her life as mother and partner. The 59-year-old star was recently a guest on Minnie Driver’s podcast, Minnie Questions, and the topic turned to Cox’s relationship with 19-year-old Coco. “Earlier on when she was a kid or not even that many years ago, I wish I’d been a firmer parent,” Cox confessed, adding that there were times where she “didn’t want to step in, even though I knew something wasn’t right because she would get so mad at me”.…

DEFYING THE ODDS In Broken Girl, Caroline recalls her family were warned she’d “never be able to see, hear, smell, taste or speak”again. Against all odds, she has not only achieved that, but learned to walk again too.“Every day was painful,”she says of her recovery. When Caroline Laner Breure was struck by aspeeding car while holidaying in Spain, she was given afive per cent chance of living. But following months of gruelling rehabilitation, she quickly discovered that surviving the catastrophic accident wasn’t the greatest challenge she’d have to face. “It was coming home and finding out that her boyfriend, all her friends, everyone had moved on,” says writer Bradley Trevor Greive, who has been working with Caroline for several years to tell her story in the book, Broken Girl. “The…

Of all the celebrity quotes from last year, the most memorable may have come from Linda Evangelista when she explained why she is “not interested” in dating. “I don’t want to hear somebody breathing,” she said in a now viral moment. “I don’t want to sleep with anybody anymore.” Many embraced this as the perfect clapback to questions over her single status from one of the most outspoken icons of the supermodel era. Even so, Evangelista admits she really does struggle with misophonia, a condition that affects around 18 percent of the population. “I have that disorder where when people make noises it hurts me,” she said in the same interview. “Like at the movies? That loud popcorn chewing or the rustling of wrappers. I don’t go to the movies…

COATS AS DRESSES When the weather really cools down consider styling your coat like a dress. Find something simple to layer underneath and then button and belt your coat over the top. It’s a simple tweak but forms a polished, elegant look for day or night. ALL WRAPPED UP It’s never been cooler to drape scarves and oversized jumpers around your neck and shoulders. Think of them almost like an accessory to add interest to your entire look. If you have a wide scarf, don’t let it hang loose. Instead wrap and drape so both ends hang over your shoulders. SOCKS ON SHOW Countless designers sent their looks down the runway with socks proudly on display. Whether it’s ribbed socks with loafers for day or a lurex style with stilettos…

Gripping eight-part thriller, High Country, follows Detective Andie Whitford (played by Leah Purcell), who is transferred to the Victorian bush to solve a baffling case involving five missing people who vanished in the wilderness. WHO talks to Aaron Pedersen about the series and his character, park ranger Owen Cooper, who helps Andie connect to Country and her Aboriginal heritage. What attracted you to this role? It was nice not to play a copper for a change. When I was offered the role, I came on board with great enthusiasm because I loved the character and being able to head out into Country and do projects in the vast wilderness where there is a very fine line between beauty and beast. How was it working so closely with Leah? This was…

Jules Robinson has done a lot of things in her life. She’s worked as a professional makeup artist, designed a range of shapewear and found love under seemingly impossible circumstances during Season 6 of Married at First Sight. Fans have watched her tie the knot with Cameron Merchant, struggle with body issues and welcome their 3-year-old son Ollie. So it isn’t a surprise to find out that the inspiring reality star is often inundated with messages on social media from other women wanting to know what her secret is to having it all. “About four years ago I created #askjules [on Instagram] and with the book, I am hoping to reach even more people,”she tells WHO. Within the pages, she shares her best advice split into three sections: style, love…

It’s not often that Barbra Streisand finds herself in hot water but she recently did just that all thanks to a social media faux pas. The singer was forced to apologise after going viral for leaving a message on Melissa McCarthy’s Instagram post. McCarthy, 53, looked fabulous in a mint green tulle dress by Mac Duggal that she wore to Center Theatre Group’s CTG Gala on April 28. She later shared a snap of herself at the event with director Adam Shankman. “Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?” Streisand asked. McCarthy’s fans were quick to call out the 82-year-old ‘Emotion’ singer, labelling her comment as “so rude”. “Did you actually just have the audacity to ask her that?!” one responded. Mortified, Streisand later took to Insta Stories to…

Anna Heinrich has given a shocking update on the birth of her second daughter, Ruby, revealing what began as a routine delivery almost turned fatal. Appearing on The Morning Show, Heinrich shared, “I went in for a caesarean – I had a C-section the first time round – I got a bit cocky, thinking it will be great, I’ll have my child in 20 minutes. It all went to plan and as soon as she came out I wouldn’t stop bleeding. I just kept on bleeding…” Heinrich then had to undergo an emergency two-hour surgery in order to stop the bleeding. “It was touch and go, and I don’t think they realised how serious it was until afterwards. It was quite traumatic, but we’re here on the other side and…

Home – or in this case Home and Away – definitely seems to be where the heart is. On screen, James Stewart, 48, and Ada Nicodemou, 46, have seen their characters, Justin and Leah in Seven’s long-running soap, navigate a rocky road, which eventually leads them down the aisle in one of Summer Bay’s most memorable weddings. “Everyone loves a happy ending … and finally, that’s exactly what they’re getting with Justin and Leah,” Nicodemou told WHO just before the episode aired on April 9. Now it looks like the co-stars are on their own real-life romantic path together, having fallen for each other after the cameras stopped rolling. On Anzac Day, the enamoured pair caught up in a pub in Sydney’s eastern suburbs before heading out on a dinner…

CHILD PRODIGY Church was discovered at the age of 11 after singing a few bars of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Pie Jesu’ over the telephone on This Morning in 1997. Soon afterwards she made her first TV appearance on Jonathan Ross’ The Big Big Talent Show. She was reportedly once worth a whopping $47 million, but former child singing prodigy Charlotte Church has made a stunning revelation. “I’m not amillionaire anymore,” she told Closer. The 38-year-old star’s former life of luxury yachts and mansions, mixing with celebrities and world leaders, and travelling the globe is athing of the past. She has just sold off her $4.2 million mansion in Wales, nicknamed ‘The Spinney’, for asemi-detached home with husband Jonathan Powell and her three children – 3-year-old daughter Frida who she shares…

On the night of November 8, 2010, a hysterical Jennifer Pan called 911, telling the operator armed men had broken into her home in suburban Ontario to steal money, terrorising her and her parents. She’d been tied up and was frantic with worry about her mum and dad’s fate. As police raced towards the scene, Pan’s mother Bich Ha was already dead, killed by a gunshot wound to the head. Her father, Hann, was miraculously clinging to life after being shot in the shoulder and face. Placed in a medically induced coma, he was taken to hospital while Jennifer was taken to the station to help police with their investigation into who was behind this violent crime. What detectives would soon discover was that Pan, then 24, was the key…

A friend asked you to give them a lift on Sunday, and you agreed (what’s the harm in being helpful?!) but now you’re running behind on preparing a roast dinner for your extended family – the third weekend in a row you’ve cooked for them all. It’s the disease to please, bending over backwards, setting yourself on fire to keep others warm; whatever you want to call it, people-pleasing is something that so many of us struggle with. Even Beyoncé admits that she used to put the needs of others before her own. “I spent so much of my life as a serial people- pleaser,” the Grammy winner says during her Renaissance documentary. But, just as 42-year-old Queen Bey claims to have curbed her addiction to approval, we’re here to…

Bon Jovi has revealed that he “got away with murder” in his marriage to high school sweetheart Dorothea Hurley in a candid chat with ABC News. “I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star. I’m not a saint, I’m not saying that there weren’t 100 girls in my life. I’m Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good!” he confessed. Despite this, he shared he never did anything to “jeopardise” what he had, adding, “What kind of excesses does a man need that’s gonna fuel that fire? It’s just not worth it. Not worth it.” The singer had nothing but praise for his wife, with whom he shares four children, Stephanie, 30, Jesse, 29, Jacob, 21, and Romeo, 20. “There is no doubt in my mind that this world revolves because of her,…

Celebrity Last July, the meme-driven phenomenon known as “Barbenheimer” worked to see Barbie and Oppenheimer hit record-breaking box office numbers, with the double-header bonanza and faux competition between the films seeing the two vastly different offerings rake in a total of over $3 billion globally. Gosling, who scored an Oscar nomination playing scene-stealing himbo Ken in Barbie, and Emily Blunt, who also scored a nod playing Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer in the film that won the Best Picture Oscar, are teaming up to get more bums on seats in the theatres with their mass-appeal action romance, The Fall Guy (out May 3). “Right now, I crave connection and common ground, and movies can do that,” Gosling explained in an interview with The Sunday Times. “We may disagree on a lot, but…

I have complicated feelings about kids and fame and being in the public eye, or being a child actor,” Zendaya told Serena Williams during her Vogue cover interview. An interesting take from the star who herself started out as a child actor in the Disney Channel hit show Shake It Up alongside Bella Thorne. Being the breadwinner of her family at a young age, Zendaya recalls feeling “thrust into a very adult position”. Despite this pressure, she is one of the few child stars who has managed to seamlessly transition into adulthood in the public eye. “We’ve seen a lot of cases of it being detrimental,” she said, referring to child stardom. “I think only now, as an adult, am I starting to go, ‘Oh, OK, wait a minute: I’ve…

Kim Kardashian NORTH WEST Kim Kardashian has a mini-Kanye on her hands in the form of daughter North West, 10. “North is really special and smart and creative and definitely beats to her own drum,” Kardashian said on an episode of The Kardashians in 2023. “Kourtney always says North is my lesson on this planet. It means I’m supposed to learn more patience. She teaches me patience.” Beyoncé BLUE IVY CARTER Beyoncé foresees big things in daughter Blue Ivy Carter’s future. In court documents to trademark the 12-yearold’s name, Bey made some big claims about the aspiring star, who’s now one of her mum’s backup dancers. “Blue Ivy Carter is a cultural icon who has been described as a ‘mini-style star’ and has been celebrated for her ‘fashion moments’ over…

Herbal remedies are a popular go-to for relieving menopause symptoms like hot flushes, but which ones live up to the hype? GP Ginni Mansberg delivers the lowdown in this extract from her book The M Word: When we filmed [TV show] Medicine or Myth? we were inundated with cures for hot flushes. Studies show that up to 80 per cent of women will try a non-hormonal treatment for their hot flushes. I guess it’s no surprise. After all, hot flushes are so common and women are really concerned about the safety of HRT. And there are many women who, for medical reasons, can’t take HRT. The biggest problem is that often the evidence for these treatments is pretty weak. However, the placebo effect is significant when it comes to hot…

HEY, BIG SPENDERS! Netflix is yet to commit to Season 2, but given how well 3Body Problem rated, it’s hopefully just aformality. But maybe the eye-watering production cost is giving the streamer pause. Each episode reportedly cost $30 million to make! Marlo Kelly literally didn’t know what she was getting herself into when she auditioned for the top-rating Netflix hit Problem, the latest big budget 3 Body blockbuster series by the same people behind Game of Thrones. “I genuinely didn’t know anything about it until I got the job,” Kelly, 27, tells WHO over Zoom from her home in New York. “Even while I was auditioning, everything was very secretive.” But with millions around the world making the show – in which she plays a trained killer who disposes of…

What was the last gift you got? A really cool pen shaped like a mushroom. I am someone who needs to write everything down, even in this digital age, and I also just really love a novelty item. What was the last meal you cooked? I just made – at 3.30 in the morning – fluffy pancakes with banana, mixed berries, a whipped brown sugar butter and optional cream on the side. It was a little indulgent but delicious! My son Dylan LOVES pancakes. When was the last time you stayed up late? I don’t know if it’s because I spent so long on tour with my dad [Jimmy Barnes] and had a lifetime of late nights, but I suppose that I generally stay up late most nights compared to…
