She didn’t intend to buy a castle. But after Ann Kaplan Mulholland and her husband, Dr. Stephen Mulholland, relocated from Toronto to London in 2023, the pair discovered that housing prices in England were so high, it made sense to go big or go home. “We looked for an apartment,” the entrepreneur tells Hello! Canada. “But a house was cheaper than a flat. And so I thought, ‘I wonder how much a castle is.’” The timing was perfect. Ann had recently left her career in finance, and her stint on The Real Housewives of Toronto was well behind her. Stephen, meanwhile, had laid down his scalpel as a plastic surgeon. So why not purchase and restore Lympne Castle – a 27,000-square-foot, 944-year-old Grade 1 listed building in the county of…

It seems Elizabeth Hurley may have cured Billy Ray Cyrus of his achy breaky heart. In matching Instagram posts on Easter Sunday, both Elizabeth, 59, and Billy Ray, 63, shared a cozy photo in which the country singer – wearing bunny ears – plants a sweet kiss on the British actress’s cheek. Recently, too, the star used Billy Ray’s music to accompany a social media video in which she showed off a new bikini in the Maldives, hinting at a budding romance between the pair. They met while co-starring in the 2022 holiday rom-com Christmas in Paradise. OLD FLAMES Both Billy Ray and Gossip Girl alum Elizabeth have had their ups and downs in the love department. He’s had three marriages – including his 28-year union with Tish Cyrus (they…

Katy Perry was over the moon as she returned to Earth following a once-in-a-lifetime space odyssey. Stepping out of Blue Origin’s NS-31 rocket in Texas after her 11-minute journey, the “Firework” singer raised her arms in the air victoriously while clasping a small daisy – a nod to her four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, whom she shares with fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48 – and then bent down to kiss the ground in appreciation. “One day when you’re older, will YOU still look up in wonder? Still processing this incredible journey,” Katy, 40, later shared with fans, adding, “See you on tour (when I come down, figuratively).” The adventure had been on Katy’s bucket list for years, so she was delighted to realize her dream as part of the space tech company’s…

Like many working moms, Michelle Williams knows what it means to juggle family life and professional ambitions – sometimes concessions have to be made. Such was the case when the 44-year-old actress first set her sights on bringing a thought-provoking series, Dying for Sex, to the small screen in 2022. “I got pregnant – and it would be a hard show to make pregnant!” the Dawson’s Creek alum explains, smiling. Rather than going ahead with the project, she took an 18-month break, welcoming a second child with her husband, theatre and television director Thomas Kail, 48, in November 2022. The very private couple – who met on the TV miniseries Fosse/Verdon in 2018 and married two years later – are parents of four: they also share son Hart (born…

She can’t even walk yet, but Princess Iman of Jordan is already getting primed for future royal duties. The darling eight-month-old stole the spotlight at Bahrain’s Al-Sakhir Palace while accompanying her parents, Crown Prince Hussein, 30, and Princess Rajwa, 31, on an official trip. Dressed in a cream dress paired with Tod’s Junior pink leather shoes, Iman stared intently into the camera while nestled in the arms of her Erdem-clad mom (above) as photos were snapped with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. Perhaps the little princess was at ease because she has exceptional role models in her devoted mom and grandma Rania, whom Hussein – the eldest son of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania – showered with praise last month to celebrate Mother’s Day in Jordan. “To my…

Being outdoors always puts the Princess of Wales at ease, so she was delighted to hang out with a group of scouts in Britain’s picturesque Lake District to compare notes on the joys of Mother Nature. In a video released while the royal and her family were spending the Easter school break at Anmer Hall – their country retreat in Norfolk – Kate, 43, exuded sporty chic in a bomber jacket, jeans, hiking boots and a newsboy cap while chatting with the youngsters and their leaders to learn about their projects. “I find it a very spiritual and intense emotional reconnection,” said the mom of three – who has been joint president of the Scouts since 2020 – adding that the outdoors is where she finds balance and peace…
