Tongues are wagging that recently engaged Bindi Irwin could be expecting! With a spate of images that appear to show the wildlife warrior hiding her stomach, along with a recent Instagram post hinting she was unwell, rumours are swirling that the young TV host could be pregnant. “They’ve been talking about starting a family since she was 19, but her mother Terri begged her to wait until she was 21,” a source told OK!. “They’ve upheld their end of the bargain so now they can’t wait to start trying for a baby. Bindi’s already told friends she would not be fussed if she were a pregnant bride.” And, according to the publication, Terri is delighted with their decision to start a family. “If Bindi and Chandler have a baby soon…

Recently separated Nadia Bartel was pictured at dating app Bumble’s event ... so could this mean she’s already dating again?

And while Jimmy has moved on, it appears Nadia is ready to do the same. She was pictured looking happy and carefree at the recent Melbourne Cup event in a gorgeous yellow outfit.…

They’ve denied rumours of a split for months, but last week Kyle Sandilands revealed that he and long-time girlfriend Imogen Anthony have gone their separate ways. As reported in New Idea several months ago, the couple had been drifting apart for some time despite being together for eight years. A source claims the reason for their split was largely due to Kyle’s reluctance to make a commitment. “Imogen has desperately wanted to get married and have kids for quite some time now but unfortunately Kyle wasn’t ready,” a source tells New Idea. “Kyle has issues from his past that he speaks about openly but keeps people at a distance, especially since his first marriage to Tamara [Jaber].” The source further claims the couple didn’t spend much time together and effectively…

He’s had a tough year filled with setbacks and injury, so it’s no surprise Grant Denyer might want to let loose and enjoy himself. But at the recent Derby Day event kicking off Melbourne Cup month, Grant appeared more animated than usual as he seemingly made the most of the fizz on offer and enjoyed a day out with his wife, Chezzi. At one point the TV host was spotted with two glasses of Champagne on the go! And while it’s very possible he was being a gentleman and holding his wife’s glass, an onlooker at the celeb-packed event tells New Idea that at points during the event Chezzi was “looking a little concerned” at her husband’s behaviour as he continued to “party hard”. Grant looked slightly dishevelled and at…

She’s married to the future King of England and her eldest son will one day inherit the role, yet the Duchess of Cambridge is determined to give her children as normal a life as possible – for as long as possible. Now New Idea can reveal how Kate is doing all she can behind the scenes to protect her children, which means being away from Kensington Palace and royal circles as much as the family’s schedule allows. “They spend as much time as possible at Anmer Hall, their home in Norfolk, because that is where they can live as normal a life as possible,” explains a royal insider. “The children go to the beach, walk in the woods and go to fairs and equestrian events. They even went along to…

As doctors rushed to save his premature baby girl, who was struggling into the world three weeks early, Brisbane Broncos captain Darius Boyd watched helplessly from the sidelines. The NRL star’s gutsy wife Kayla had been in labour for eight hours, with no result, and their unborn child was now severely distressed. An emergency caesarean was the only option to ensure both mother and daughter survived. “It was very intense and quite traumatic,” smiles a relieved Kayla, safely back home and tenderly cuddling new arrival Romi Yves Boyd under the watchful gaze of big sister Willow, 4. “I was getting really stressed and bub was really stressed … “It’s quite crazy, because it all happened so much earlier than we expected. After my waters broke, we were running around the…

Little more than one year on from the tragic death of his pregnant wife and two young daughters, a grieving father is still fighting to come to terms with the immeasurable loss. He still speaks to photographs of the children morning and night, even reading their favourite storybook at bedtime. He mourns his partner daily. If only he hadn’t murdered them all in cold blood. On August 13, 2018, Chris Watts killed his wife Shanann, their 4-year-old daughter Bella and 3-year-old Celeste so he could be with his unwitting mistress, Nichol Kessinger. Shanann was also pregnant with their third child, a son they planned to name Nico. Currently serving life without parole, the convicted murderer has been exchanging letters and taking visits from author Cheryln Cadle, who has published his…

MERE MALE Angry MM reported teenagers for jumping over his fence and damaging his garden when retrieving a ball. The police asked him if he recognised any of them. “I’m pretty sure one is Nicky, it was printed on his top.” The young police officer pondered, then asked him to spell it. “NIKE,” MM replied confidently.

After revealing that Karl Stefanovic and Allison Langdon are set to take over fronting Today in the summer non-ratings period, a source has told New Idea that Karl is convinced he could singlehandedly save the ailing show. Karl recently dropped major hints about his potential return to his former hosting role during a Nova FM radio interview. The 45-year-old suggested he’s not only open to returning to Today, but that he could be the key to turning around the show’s fast-declining ratings. “I keep trying to tell Channel Nine that I’m the lucky charm,” Karl told hosts Fitzy and Wippa. “If they want to pad me up and send me in, I’m ready to go in and we’ll have a win.” A TV insider has added that Karl is “not…

Despite a rocky year after taking out an AVO against her husband Stuart Webb, Kate Ritchie appears to be positive. At an event in Sydney, the radio host looked happy and carefree. The former Home and Away actress is yet to speak publicly of her split but pictures show Kate has been going to and from a friend’s home suggesting she is living apart from Stuart. On October 21, police took out the AVO, which stated that he was not allowed near Kate “for at least 12 hours after drinking alcohol or taking illicit drugs”. On Thursday, Stuart appeared at Waverley Local Court where he agreed to the AVO for 12 months and was slapped with strict conditions. He also pleaded guilty to drink driving and was given a 12-month…

It’s been a year of scandal for the royal family with Prince Andrew’s alleged association with Jeffrey Epstein and almost constant scrutiny over the young royals’ apparent falling out. Just when the Queen could be forgiven for hoping things couldn’t get any worse, her eldest son, Charles, has been caught up in a shocking art scandal that has left not only his mother, but also his wife, Camilla, and sister, Anne, embarrassed by the whole situation. Now New Idea is told by a senior courtier that Her Majesty called an emergency meeting at Buckingham Palace. During the gathering, the Queen gave her family a stern warning that they can’t continue making a mockery out of the monarchy. Last week The Mail on Sunday revealed that several artworks purporting to be…

New Idea’s royal insider reveals that one of the main sources of inspiration for Kate Middleton’s style of parenting comes from her good friend, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. “Kate has long admired Princess Mary and how she has juggled being a mum of four as well as a royal. She loves the way Mary makes sure that her children don’t get above themselves and mingle with normal kids and do normal things.” It’s also Mary who’s inspired Kate to expand their family and have a fourth child. “She would like four children just like Mary. She would love to have a little companion for Louis and another girl would be perfect,” adds the insider.…

US-based Megan, 26, first met her current partner Mark Stone, 49, in November 2015 at a local restaurant where he was working at the time. They shared a laugh and Megan’s sister decided to book Mark to DJ at Megan’s wedding in July 2016. Her big day went off without a hitch, but sadly a year into her marriage, Megan was feeling unhappy and neglected, so she went back home to visit her sister. It was then that she returned to the same restaurant, where she met Mark again. They soon became close friends and chatted every day. Mark also confided in Megan…

For years I sighed every time a bill arrived. Home insurance, car insurance, electricity, mobile phone ... I just groaned and paid them. But five years ago, in a bid to save any money I could, I decided to ‘spring clean’ my bills. Just like you clean your blinds and wipe your skirting boards once a year, I set aside a few hours to go through every household bill to see if I could save money. First I called my insurance company, who I knew were offering great deals to new customers. After crunching the numbers with them and researching options of cheaper cover with other providers, I managed to save more than $250 on my home, contents and car insurance. Next it was my energy company. Again, I checked…

Now, on The Ghost Files podcast each week, Karina will introduce a guest who’ll share their personal encounter with the spirit world. THE MYSTERY OF PAST LIVES Have you ever wondered if you’ve lived before?

It’s been a year of milestones for Kamahl. The legendary entertainer, who turns 85 this week, also recently marked 60 years since he first appeared on television, and 65 years since he started singing. Speaking exclusively to New Idea ahead of his birthday, the beloved performer was in fine form, happily regaling detailed stories about his past successes, career highlights and pivotal life moments. However, when recalling what he describes as the “peaks and valleys” of his incredible life and career, Kamahl recalls singing ‘Ol’ Man River’ for the Queen at a Royal Command Performance in Brisbane in 1982 as one of his highlights. Another royal encounter, this time with Prince Harry at last year’s Invictus Games, was, he says, the absolute pinnacle. “It was the most fulfilling moment of…

Bella (Courtney Miller) is still doing everything she can - including feigning illness – to keep her adored brother Colby (Tim Franklin) away from Mackenzie (Emily Weir). “Bella has been throwing so much hatred at Mackenzie,” says Emily. “It’s been shocking for Mackenzie that Bella is so deeply against her and Colby being together.” And Bella’s ploy is certainly paying dividends, as it seems Mackenzie and Colby have hit pause on their relationship – and possibly for good this time. Heartbroken, Mackenzie now finds herself drowning her sorrows at Salt. Needless to say, the usually responsible restaurateur is horrified when, having unintentionally crashed at Salt for the night, she’s woken up the next morning by a concerned Willow (Sarah Roberts), Alex (Zoë Ventoura) and John (Shane Withington)! “Mackenzie is mortified,”…

It was very scary but it made us want him even more.” Their third pregnancy had been a surprise, but once Amanda and her husband Marcus, 35, had got used to the idea they were desperate for their baby’s safe arrival. “After all the problems I’d had the doctor wanted to induce me a little early,” Amanda from Cobram, Victoria, remembers.
