New Idea 3 June 2019

Marni Little and husband Dave Robertshaw are smitten with their new bundle of joy who was born last week on May 21 by caesarean. Naming their son Charlie Joseph Robertshaw, Marni sits down with New Idea to chat about her first few days with her newborn and how her first son Archie, 4, who she shares with ex-husband and former Home and Away star Dan Ewing, is enjoying being a big brother. “Josephine was my mother’s mother’s name and Charlie is a good name to go with Archie,” says Marni. She reveals Charlie’s birth was completely different to Archie’s: “It was a planned caesarean, after the emergency of last time, but this actually caused me a lot more anxiety. “Knowing what was coming and going into it without labour is eerie and I had too…

Despite their ups and downs, Pink and Carey Hart are one of the most solid couples in showbiz, but the pair were caught having what appeared to be a row in New York City last week. The couple were spotted out sightseeing with their son Jameson, 2, but things appeared to be tense. The trio sat down at a table and Pink was seen having what appeared to be a word with Carey before the family walked off looking frosty. The seeming row is very unusual for the couple who have been going strong since their brief split in 2008. Since rekindling their relationship, the couple have welcomed two children together, Willow, 7, and Jameson, and often appear loved up on social media. “I’m very grateful for you, baby,” the singer wrote on…

Last week retired Aussie cricketer Michael Clarke was spotted out with his personal assistant Sasha Armstrong. Both dressed in workout gear, they looked deep in conversation as they grabbed breakfast together at a Sydney cafe.

It’s not the first time the pair have been seen together outside of the office. Last year photos of Michael and Sasha, relaxing on a yacht in Sydney Harbour, hit the headlines before it later emerged that the bikini-clad blonde was in fact his personal assistant.…

Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie star together in one of the most anticipated movies of the year. But it was their off-screen chemistry that was obvious for everyone to see as they took to the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival to celebrate last week. “There’s no denying that Brad and Margot have become close friends,” a film insider tells New Idea. “And while it’s obviously very innocent, it’s certainly had tongues wagging. They just seem so comfortable around one another, so relaxed.” Margot appeared to keep a very close and watchful eye on Brad while standing with her Once Upon A Time … In Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Amid much laughter and joking between her and Brad, at one point the Aussie star put a comforting…

A shocking report has revealed that in the past four years, seven members of Kensington Palace’s staff were sacked or resigned over their conduct. In the past year, one worker even stormed out while being investigated for harassment while another, who’d been accused of theft, quit while under scrutiny. The royal residence is home to Prince William and Kate, among others, including Princess Eugenie, while Harry and Meghan moved out of their apartment at the London residence last year.

Like all new parents, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex are enjoying every moment of their tiny bundle of joy, baby Archie Harrison. But now a royal source tells New Idea exclusively that these early weeks of parenthood are also proving to be a challenging time for the royals. Meghan is so wrapped up in her blissful baby bubble and determined to spend every possible moment with her newborn that she won’t let anyone else help out – including her mother, Doria. “Meghan likes to be in control of everything. She just can’t have anyone be alone with Archie. She’s ignoring help. No-one has looked after him but her,” explains the insider, adding that even the hired nannies aren’t able to step in and help the new mum. “She won’t allow them…
