The new season of Farmer Wants A Wife has only just begun, but it looks like Cupid’s arrow is on track to hit at least one bullseye. Sources tell New Idea that Farmer Dean, 25, has already fallen head over heels for one of his ladies, and could be close to declaring his love! “Let’s just say he is very happy,” says the insider. If Dean has fallen in love, it would be his dream come true. “At the end of the day, I’m here for love, it’s the one thing that’s missing in my life,” he says. “Bringing someone back [to the farm] to start a family, I would love.” However, there’s a few people who might not be so impressed with the Queenslandbased cattle farmer dropping the L-word.…

Being suddenly elevated to heir of the Danish throne at the tender age of 18 was never going to be an easy time for Crown Prince Christian – let alone learning to cope with his new role and responsibilities in the face of a family crisis. With reports about his dad King Frederik’s alleged affair with a Mexican socialite failing to abate, New Idea understands the relationship between father and son has also hit the skids. “The whole thing hasn’t just overshadowed Fred and [Queen] Mary’s marriage, it’s also affecting Christian,” says a source. “They are barely on speaking terms at the moment. It’s bad. Fred has vigorously denied the affair claims and is outraged that anyone needs to question his word.” The source says it’s hard to deny things…

Three years after Samantha Armytage left Sunrise, the star made an unexpected return to Brekky Central to promote the new season of Farmer Wants A Wife, which she now hosts. Sam, 47, chatted cordially with current Sunrise hosts Nat Barr and Matt Shirvington. There was no sign of any coolness between Nat, 56, and Sam in particular, even though it’s thought their professional relationship ended on a bit of a sour note when Sam left Sunrise in 2021. A few months later, Nat said in an interview that she and her colleague had never really been close. Sam responded with a tweet which read: “Look, I’m out. Nat’s wanted the job forever, and she’s finally got it. She just needs to get on and enjoy it and forget about me.”…

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri turned 18 last week. But New Idea hears a “dampener” was put on celebrations after Dakota Fanning revealed in a recent interview with US Harper’s Bazaar that “thoughtful” Tom had sent her a birthday present every year since they co-starred in 2005’s War of theWorlds.. “For Dakota to come out the week of Suri’s birthday and talk about getting presents and a birthday cake from Tom was a shock,” the source says. In 2012, Katie, 45, filed for divorce from Tom, 61, with reports suggesting it was motivated by the actress wanting to shield Suri from Scientology. Tom, a long-time member of the church, has reportedly been estranged from his daughter ever since. A “fiercely protective” Katie is understood to be “annoyed” at…

Luckily we could dissolve it today. Whew.” How gracious!…

VINTAGE CHANEL Exuding glamour from the top of her head to the tips of her toes, Amal Clooney is renowned for her highend clothing choices.

Becoming a parent is a life-changing event. Your world is suddenly turned upside down and no matter how many books you read or classes you take, nothing can really prepare you for holding your newborn and starting the journey of parenthood.

As they move from one stage to the next, I’ve had to make sure I put in the effort to keep a close bond, stay involved with their lives and hear about whatever is important to them at that time. It can be much more difficult as they get older, and sometimes they can feel harder to reach. The younger kids are so…

It’s estimated one third of the Aussie population is iron deficient, and it is also the number one mineral deficiency in the world. Those numbers are considerable, and it’s important to note the most affected are menstruating women. WHAT IS IRON AND WHAT DOES IT DO? Iron is a mineral our body needs to develop and grow. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells carrying oxygen to all parts of the body from the lungs, and myoglobin is a protein providing oxygen to muscles – our body needs iron to make both of these. Iron plays a role in creating enzymes that are vital for the production of new cells, amino acids, neurotransmitters and hormones, and it’s so important for energy levels. Iron is also important for boosting our…

Cliff Curtis’ resume reads like one long box-office hit list. From roles in Avatar: The Way of Water to Training Day and The Meg movies, he is one of New Zealand’s most prolific actors. Yet, despite being a contemporary of George Clooney and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Cliff has long rejected the notion of ‘celebrity’. SWIFT STREET Premieres Wed. on SBS and SBS On Demand “You see through the facade of it,” he says. In fact, Cliff doesn’t spend “very much time at all” being famous. “I’m lucky.
