Then there’s our exclusive chat with singing sensation Jessica Mauboy (p.16) who talks about the“fairytale”of her marriage to hubby Them Magripilis and how it’s been a “dream come true”for their families to get along. And, we look at Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds (p. 22) and how they built a $700 million fortune! Let’s not forget, stars are like the rest of…

The 49-year-old stepped out at the Los Angeles premiere of Nicola’s directorial debut film, Lola, on February 3, with the pair striking a pose for photographers that spoke volumes about their relationship. “We could not be more proud of you!” Victoria wrote in an Instagram post tagging Nicola after the event. “Congratulations on your incredible film, Lola. Officially in theatres February 9th! Kisses xx.” The love was certainly reciprocated from Nicola, 29, who gushed about her motherin-law while wearing custom designs from Victoria’s eponymous clothing brand on the pink carpet. “She is a genius.

It’s been almost three months since Natalie Bassingthwaighte made the brave announcement that she is in anew relationship with non-binary Pip Loth, who she says“makes my heart smile”. But the Rogue Traders singer admits she’s still grappling with the revelation. “If I’m honest, I’m still navigating it all for myself and that is really hard,”the 48-year-old tells WHO. Although Bassingthwaighte agrees she felt relief after going public with the news, it’s her family – with her coming out also coinciding with the confirmation that she had ended her 12-year marriage to bandmate Cameron McGlinchey, father of her two kids – that has weighed heavily on the Aussie star’s mind. “I have to sit in my truth and understand everything that it means for me, but at the same time I…

GRAMMY AWARDS 2024 The Grammys has always been one of the wildest events on the awards season calendar and this year was no exception, with onstage antics, shock appearances and even an arrest thrown in for good measure. Taking place on February 4 in Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, the 66th Annual Grammy Awards kicked off with a glittering and glamorous red carpet. While Miley Cyrus made quite an entrance in her gold sequined minidress and Barbarella-inspired ‘do, she continued to shine inside.

Blake & Ryan Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively seem to have built the perfect life together. Even their only misstep – appearing in the 2011 box office bomb Green Lantern – ultimately turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to them. It’s where they first met, and when the relationships they were in at the time ran their course, the pair found each other. By October 2011, they were confirmed as a couple. From then, they have gone from strength to strength both in their professional and personal lives. They married in September 2012 and have brought four children into the world. “Everything we do in life, we do together,” Blake explained to Vogue in 2014. “I get to share my life with the person he’s become,…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Every now and then, a friend cull is required. It’s all about friendships for you, and the social circles you move in.

For the past four decades, since he first walked into a Tamworth newsroom as a cadet reporter, Seven’s Mark Ferguson has had a front-row seat to the events of the day – both big and small. Like all good stories, there’s been a bit of luck involved, a bit of drama and plenty of action along the way. Here, in his own words, Ferguson, 57, reflects on a lifetime in the news. I had this notion that I wanted to be a country vet. I’d grown up in Tamworth and loved the country life and had done a bit of work experience down at the local vet and absolutely loved it. I thought that was going to be my path. But by the end of Year 11, I was failing…

[Restaurant] Bills was delicious, too,” she gushed on Instagram alongside a series of snaps from a day out in the famous Sydney suburb. “Soooooooo happy to be back on this side of the world!” Joining Pink on the trip is hubby Carey Hart, 48, and their children Willow, 12, and Jameson, 7 – who the 44-year-old revealed are “stoked” to be Down Under. “Thank you beautiful Australia for being our home away from home,” she added.

Madeleine West has opened up about coming face-to-face with the man who abused her during her childhood. During an interview on 60 Minutes, the 44-year-old revealed she had been fitted with a secret recording device when she knocked on Peter Vincent White’s home in 2022, as part of a major police operation to put him behind bars. “The door opened. And in that moment, I had my ‘gotcha’moment because his face dropped,”she recalled.“He’d been waiting for this day for 30 or 40 years.” During audio of the encounter, West confronted him about the abuse she endured between the ages of 4 and 10.

There’s something different about Jessica Mauboy when WHO catches up with her for a chat – and it’s not just her bright cherry cola hair that she’s chosen to usher in 2024 with. “I feel like a chameleon,” she laughs. The gorgeous smile is still the same, as is her generosity of spirit that has endeared her to those in the music industry and to her legions of fans. But there’s a lightness and freedom to her as she talks about her current approach to life. “I’ve become a lot more patient,” she tells WHO. “I’ve grown in having my own back and being kinder to myself. I’ve always had the love there – but there’s a difference between loving and loving yourself. I’m embracing life. And I’m proud of…

Stepping out to watch a soccer game in January, it was a very different Princess Charlene to the one we’re used to seeing. Gone was her gaunt appearance and pallor as she threw her arms around Princess Stephanie. While Charlene has been very upfront about feeling lonely since making the move from South Africa to Monte Carlo, it appears that the former Olympic swimmer has a true friend in her sister-in-law, 59. “They have a lot in common when it comes to their charities and causes,” royal biographer Arlene Prinsloo tells WHO. “They are very close and Stephanie gives her a lot of support.” Following a difficult few years where she spent a lot of time abroad due to health issues as her husband was hit with another paternity suit,…

For the past 40-plus years, Toby Lieder has been looking for love. Not for herself – in fact, the 66-year-old has been loved-up with husband Rabbi Schlumin Yaakov for almost half a century – but for the thousands of singles who have come to the Jewish matchmaker (or rather, Shadkhan) hoping she can help them find ‘The One’. “It actually started 46 years ago, when my husband and I got married,” Lieder tells WHO of how her foray into matchmaking began. “We realised that I had so many young single friends that weren’t married yet …so we started matching them up and we made about 10 matches that worked – they are all grandparents and great grandparents today. We realised we both have [a knack for it] and we’ve been…

Here, financial advisor Helen Baker shares how you can help your child navigate their path towards financial independence. 1. CAREER CHOICE Kids are often told to follow their dreams. However, dreams don’t always pay the bills: look at how many out-of-work actors are waiting tables…

They are simply one of the most versatile pieces for warm-weather dressing, no matter where you’re heading.

Despite being relatively private about their relationship, it’s safe to say that more than a decade into their romance and two kids later, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester are still blissfully in love. The pair, who will celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary this month, tend to keep their romance under wraps, but late last year Meester got candid by admitting they have a “normal relationship with all the good and the hard”.

Martin Scorsese’s epic movie equivalent of Killers of the Flower Moon is a story of deceit, betrayal and calculated murder. Sadly, it’s also true. Based on David Grann’s 2017 book of the same name, it portrays the murders of at least 60 Indigenous members of the Osage Nation in 1920s America. “The Osage had countless millions of dollars stolen from them,” Grann told People magazine. “Many lives were lost.” William Hale, a white cattle rancher and self-titled ‘King of the Osage Hills’, devised a chilling plan to slowly kill off…
