Matt Young and Olivia Benic, who met on the 2023 season of Farmer Wants a Wife Australia, have welcomed their first child together. Taking to Instagram to announce the surprise news, they shared a sweet picture of their now family of three. The pair kept Benic’s pregnancy under wraps, taking the opportunity in their latest announcement to thank close friends and family for helping to keep the news private. “286 days of carrying you, 8 hours of labour without pain relief, and what has felt like a lifetime of waiting…our little bubba entered our little family happy and healthy on Thursday,” the couple wrote on Instagram. “Thank you to our close friends/family/ baggy clothes (haha) for helping us to enjoy this wonderful experience privately and with so much unconditional support.…

During their jam-packed four-day visit to Colombia, there was everything we’ve come to expect from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex hugged excited school children, met with wounded service personnel from the Invictus Games family and beamed while watching cultural performances. They even took part in a performance, getting into the rhythm while enjoying a drum lesson. But this, of course, was not a royal tour. The pair were representing themselves and the Archewell Foundation – not King Charles – after they were invited by Colombia’s vice president, Francia Márquez. Her lack of royal status didn’t stop Meghan, 43, wowing the crowds. The duchess spoke Spanish while taking part in a discussion focused on highlighting and uplifting Afro-Colombian women in Cali. Prince Archie, 5, and…

Dr Plascencia, 42, who worked in clinics in Santa Monica, has also pleaded not guilty and faces up to 10 years in federal prison for each ketamine-related count and up to 20 years in federal prison for each records falsification count. Perry’s assistant, Iwamasa, and street dealer, Fleming, have pleaded guilty and will face up to 15 years and 25 years respectively when they are sentenced in their federal cases. Dr Mark…

PROUD AS PUNCH “I’m most proud of my family. My children, my relationship for sure,” said Victoria. “Very, very proud.” But she added that the fashion and beauty business she has created is a special achievement. “I’m so hands-on and so proud of what I built.” David and Victoria Beckham have spent their European summer in style, holidaying with three of their four children – Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, who celebrated her 13th birthday on July 10 – on a mega yacht off the coast of Sardinia, Italy before cruising to Corsica. “We had the best dinner last night. We woke up this morning and said, ‘We’re so proud of the kids – they’re such great, kind, sweet, humble, funny, hardworking young adults,’” Victoria – whose eldest son…

1 NO-HEAT HACK For damage-free styling, try heatless curls. This gentle and effective method involves wrapping hair around a rod, then using scrunchies to hold it in place while the curls set overnight. Rollers are another easy, affordable option and come in different sizes. For tighter, more defined curls, opt for small ones, while large rollers will add lift and volume. 2 KNOT THE ONE Make combing your hair more manageable with a good detangler spray. A great way to minimise breakage and give strands smoothness and shine, they’re especially handy for frizz-prone hair. Use on wash day alongside a wet brush in the shower, distributing the conditioning treatment evenly while loosening knots. SPLURGE! 3 DAMAGE CONTROL If you’re applying any kind of heat on your hair, even a quick…

Have you ever found yourself away on a trip and encountered a person who seemingly lives at the hotel and wondered just what has gone down in their lives? Well, that happened to author Sophie Green when she visited Melbourne in 2018, and it became the inspiration for her newest novel, Art Hour at the Duchess Hotel. “I wondered why [this woman] who had been there for several months had stayed for so long after she told me she was trying to figure some things out,” Green tells WHO. “She was the inspiration for the character of Joan.” After spending 35 years being exactly who her husband and family expected, and losing herself along the way, Joan packs up and checks into the Old Duchess on the Mornington Peninsula. There,…

The “heartbreaking” day when her daughter would move out of home has finally come for Katie Holmes. “You want them to stay with you forever, but … then they’re going to go. And that’s going to be very, very sad for me,” she admitted to Town & Country magazine in 2017. If she was sad, the actress, 45, didn’t let it show as she helped her only child, Suri Cruise, carry her bags into the hall of residence at Carnegie Mellon University, a private university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ahead of classes commencing on August 26. Cruise, 18, will be living on campus in basic lodgings, a far cry from the penthouse she has shared with her mum in Manhattan, New York since Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise in…

Work is tough but someone has to do it, right? Unless of course you are Queen Mary and King Frederik and your job entails boarding a luxury yacht to cruise around the islands surrounding Denmark, that is. Mary, 52, joined Fred, 56, on August 19 to set sail for Bornholm, which is famous for its picture-perfect fishing villages. Thousands of delighted locals excitedly waving Danish flags came out to greet the pair, who took up their new royal roles in January. After taking a hike through the forest, the couple returned to their ship to glam up before hosting an official dinner on board. This is the fourth time Mary and Fred have utilised the vessel this year, after they sailed to Sweden, Norway and Greenland for official duties in…

T he cries of Bennifer fans can be heard around the world as the once-golden couple has officially called it quits … again. Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, the two-year anniversary of their lavish wedding ceremony in Georgia. Lopez is said to be “very disappointed and sad” about the situation, a source told People. “But Ben hasn’t given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage. He hasn’t shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It’s gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself,” they continued. Another source told the magazine that Lopez’s decision to file papers on their anniversary “speaks a ton”. This legal step comes after months of speculation that the couple’s…

BARRY & SABRINA THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS, THE PAIR KEEP PEOPLE GUESSING ABOUT THEIR STATUS He’s the Irish actor who stunned with his bold performance in Saltburn and she’s the American pop star who supported Taylor Swift on her Eras tour and has been topping charts around the world in 2024. So when rumours began late last year that Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter were dating, the unlikely but potentially perfect match became one to watch. After months of romance speculation, the pair went public in March 2024 on the red carpet for Vanity Fair’s Oscars afterparty. They also appeared together at high-profile events including the famed Coachella Festival and the Met Gala. But according to reports, it seems the party might already be over for the couple, with unverified…

For as long as she is able to remember, Abbey has wanted to be a journalist. “I am very social and I wanted to meet new people, travel the world and interview celebrities,” she tells WHO. But with autism and a rare congenital joint disorder that leaves her confined to a wheelchair, it felt unlikely that her dreams would come true. Since leaving school three years ago, the 20-year-old has struggled to find a job and has experienced training that doesn’t accommodate her needs. This is all changing thanks to The Assembly. In the bold new ABC show, Abbey has joined a journalism class along with 14 others with autism who aspire to careers in the media. Guided by veteran journalist Leigh Sales, they receive training through Macquarie University to…

Getting kids to eat healthily can be tricky at the best of times, and if you’ve got a picky eater who only wants to eat cheese toasties, encouraging them to eat any kind of new food may seem like an uphill battle. Dr Nick Fuller, researcher and author of Healthy Eating, Healthy Kids, shares how to get even the fussiest food critic to embrace wholesome meals they’ll enjoy. PUT A TWIST ON OLD FAVOURITES You can make the same meals often but try to introduce different flavours every time.

Gone is the era of just a little dab of rouge to the apple of our cheeks for a subtle flush.

IN THE BALANCE Contending with an active toddler, making an album and auditions is no mean feat. “It’s hard to juggle everything and be present,” Anderson admits. “The secret is being as prepared as possible and taking it one day at a time.” As Bonnie Anderson joins WHO on the eve of the release of her latest single, ‘Bad Advice’, the excitement is palpable. During a couple of years of massive changes for the performer, including becoming a mother and wife, music has been somewhat on the backburner.

In a year that seems to be filled with unexpected celebrity romances, Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn have become the latest unlikely duo to be linked. Thanks to the work of real-life Gossip Girl DeuxMoi, fans uncovered the existence of the new couple through an anonymous eyewitness video that showed the Stranger Things star walking with his arm around the singer and holding her hand behind his back.

Kit Harington would sometimes look at himself in the mirror with such self-loathing that he’d call himself vitriolic names. He was at the height of his fame, having earned a huge following for his portrayal of Game of Thrones heart-throb Jon Snow, a role he played from 2011 to 2019, but the happy-go-lucky Brit the world saw walking red carpets and participating in engaging and playful interviews was merely a character he’d created. Behind closed doors, he was a shell of himself, self-medicating with alcohol. “I’d hate myself. I would literally despise myself and not be proud of anything I’d done. I couldn’t be proud,”he recently admitted to GQ in what is possibly the most revealing interview of his career. By the time Game of Thrones’ final season was being…

Antunes suggests trying the look as a solid manicure, experimenting with a reverse French tip or with detailed nail art.
