who’s news Sofia Richie felt the love during her wedding week at the exclusive Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, and not only from groom Elliot Grainge. “I love you more than anything,” her famous big sister, Nicole, captioned a photo of herself fanning out Sofia’s haute couture Chanel wedding gown, one of two she wore on her big day. “I love you more than life,” the bride commented. Life for Sofia, 24, has never been sweeter. The model and designer, also the youngest child of singer Lionel Richie, became engaged to music executive Grainge, 30, in April 2022 after a year of dating. “I’m so excited to be married just because I’m marrying Elliot,” she told Vogue magazine during her gown fitting in Paris. “He’s the man of my…

who’s news Amid her ongoing battle with Stage 4 breast cancer, Shannen Doherty has been dealt another blow. The actress has announced she’s split from her third husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko. “Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted,” Doherty’s rep, Leslie Sloane, said in a statement. “Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option.” A few hours before the news of the filing broke, Doherty shared a cryptic message on Instagram. “The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness and total respect,” read the post. Website TMZ, who was first to report the news, claimed the situation is messy, saying, “Sources close to the estranged couple tell us Doherty’s ‘not well’ health-wise and the divorce is very…

who’s news Is Taylor Swift ready to add another chapter to her Love Story? Whispers that the newly single singer, 33, is dating F1 driver Fernando Alonso recently started swirling, with the Spanish sports star only adding fuel to the rumours. The 41-year-old posted a short TikTok video on April 24 of himself winking, set to the tune of Swift’s hit song ‘Karma’. “Race week era,” he captioned the post, seemingly alluding to the Grammy winner’s current world Eras Tour. The two-time world champion also cheekily referenced Swift’s song ‘22’ when he commented, “Feeling 33”. Speculation started mounting recently after celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi posted about the odd pairing. “The couple has been seeing each other for a week now. Nothing serious tho since they are both recently single,” an…

Celebrity Alec Baldwin can breathe a little easier after charges against him for a fatal on-set shooting were dropped on April 20. The actor, 65, was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the shooting during the filming of Rust in New Mexico in October 2021. The movie’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, was killed by a live bullet fired from a prop gun that was being used by Alec. The charges were dropped reportedly after new evidence emerged suggesting that the gun could have been fired without pulling the trigger, a source close to the investigation told The Wall Street Journal. A statement released by New Mexico special prosecutors appeared to confirm this, saying that “over the last few days … new facts were revealed” in the case, requiring further…

Celebrity With his classic good looks, gorgeous dimples and endless charm, it’s hard to imagine anyone standing up Chris Evans following a first date. Unless, of course, the person not returning his texts just happens to be someone as equally stunning, like Ana de Armas. That’s just what happens in their fun new flick, Ghosted. With the pair having already teamed up twice to make 2019’s Knives Out and The Gray Man in 2022, we’ve already seen that Evans and de Armas’ on-screen chemistry is off the charts – but this movie delivers a surprising new twist. Evans plays Cole, an ordinary beekeeper who falls head over heels for Sadie (de Armas), before she gives him the cold shoulder. In the vein of action-filled ’80s romcom Romancing the Stone, Cole…

Real life For Saffrine Duggan, wife of imprisoned pilot Daniel Duggan, and the couple’s six kids aged 6 to 18, these past school holidays have been particularly tough. “That’s when they miss their father the most,” Saffrine tells WHO. “This is the time that they would be spending quality time with their dad. But he’s locked up in prison.” Daniel, a former US marine ‘Top Gun’ pilot who moved to Australia in 2002 and gained his citizenship in 2012, faces extradition to the USA after he was arrested in a supermarket car park in the New South Wales country town of Orange on October 21 at the request of the United States government and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. US prosecutors have drawn up a list of charges against him…

When news broke in February that Hollywood star Bruce Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, it shone a light on a disease that many of us had never heard of. Also known as FTD or Pick’s disease, it’s a relatively uncommon but cruel disease that often strikes at a younger age than other forms of dementia. While anyone can get FTD, Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe says it most often occurs in people aged between 40 and 65. “There are many myths about dementia in the community and one of them is that only older people get dementia,” she explains. A major challenge with FTD is that it can often go undiagnosed for years. “The symptoms are different than you would find in, say, Alzheimer’s disease,” says McCabe. “Memory…

What was the last gift you got? Recently, I received an enormous bunch of flowers and some Star Wars stuff at my front door. I still don’t know who sent it! When was the last time you danced in public? Today. I dance from the minute I wake up – so at any random moment you’ll see me dancing, like in a gas station filling up my car or at a supermarket. Last thing you bought that you regretted? A bag of lodestones I bought from Etsy. They’re very specific magnetic stones but they sent me some weird magnet thing. I knew as soon as I opened it that the bag was a fake. What was your last TV obsession? I just finished The Last of Us. I bawled my…

who’s news Wrexham, the floundering Welsh football club bought by A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has won the National League with a game to spare, resulting in their automatic promotion to the English Football League after a 15-year absence and turning their new owners into local heroes. “I don’t think I have a heart anymore. I think I used all the beats that I had left during that match,” Reynolds said after the team’s 3-1 win over Boreham Wood. “Usually, I’m not at a loss for words, but I’m genuinely at a loss for words at this moment … They created drama unlike anything you’d ever seen in a damn movie. It’s something that I think people will be talking about for ages.” The Deadpool actor and his Mythic…

who’s news Two days after Barry star Bill Hader referred to his “girlfriend” during an interview with Collider, he seemingly confirmed that he had rekindled his relationship with comedian and Beef actress Ali Wong. The pair were spotted holding hands and kissing while hiking together in Los Angeles on April 19, Wong’s 41st birthday. Hader, 44, shares three daughters with ex-wife Maggie Carey, who he divorced in 2018. He then dated actress Rachel Bilson before moving on with his Noelle co-star Anna Kendrick. Shortly after their split following one year of dating, Hader sparked romance rumours with Wong, recently single after splitting from her ex-husband of eight years, businessman Justin Hakuta, with whom she shares two daughters. “They are just super busy with things,” a source told Page Six of…

When they pop open the champagne to celebrate on April 29, the Prince and Princess of Wales will have more to toast than just the 12th anniversary of them tying the knot at Westminster Abbey in 2011. During the toughest year of their lives, the parents of three have faced many challenges, from moving their family to the country to having even more shocking allegations levelled against them by Prince Harry (see breakout). But despite the drama, Prince William and his university sweetheart, Kate, have stood side by side and faced it together. Following the difficult 12 months, the pair have emerged even more in love and confident that no matter what their future holds, nothing can tear them apart. “The last year was a tough one for Kate and…

Interview EXCLUSIVE Who Jamie Oliver’s face on the telly is a sight that’s become pretty familiar to most Aussies. The celebrity chef has been gracing our screens for the better part of 25 years, starting with The Naked Chef in 1999, all the way to last year’s Jamie’s One-Pan Wonders. So when the 47-year-old appears on Zoom to chat exclusively to WHO about all things MasterChef Australia, it’s almost like chatting to an old friend. “I’ve just had my coffee, so I’m feeling good,” he says from the UK, where he lives with his wife, Jools, and their five children. If you’re a fan of the hit show, you’ll know by now that Oliver is the first guest judge on this year’s MasterChef Australia: Secrets & Surprises. And it’s clear…

ANA ‘I FOUND LOVE THROUGH TINDER’ Imagine opening your dating app to swipe right or left and seeing Ana de Armas on your screen. While ultimately, she met her current beau the old-fashioned way, Tinder was still involved. The actress has been dating boyfriend Paul Boukadakis, an executive for the dating app, since June 2021. “Paul and Ana were introduced through friends,” a source told Page Six at the time. When de Armas and Boukadakis met, the Cuban-born star was living in LA, while the 39-year-old media exec was based in Austin, Texas, but visited regularly. Things got serious pretty quickly with the pair introducing each other to their families then moving into an apartment together in New York just months later. “It’s a city that keeps you anxious,” de…

Shirley Singh and her husband, Vijay, were in Fiji in April 2003 when three of their four children were murdered in their Brisbane home. Neelma, 24, Kunal, 18, and Sidhi, 12, were brutally slain by Massimo ‘Max’ Sica, then 33, Neelma’s ex-boyfriend. They were all beaten with a garden fork and their bodies dumped in an overflowing spa bath. After a lengthy investigation and trial, Sica was finally found guilty of the heinous killings and, in July 2012, was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 35 years. In this exclusive extract from a new book, Shirley tells how she has survived not only this brutal crime but the devastating loss of eldest daughter Archana, 43, from a brain aneurysm in 2020. “I take each day as…

The the line between work and home is a blurry one, with many of us spending long hours in front of our computers and taking work home with us.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. With a little effort and some simple strategies you can reclaim your work-life balance. SET CRYSTAL-CLEAR BOUNDARIES One of the biggest challenges of balancing work and life is the lack of clear boundaries, which can lead to working longer (according to the OECD…

While the bathroom is often overlooked, it also has the potential to be one of the most tranquil spaces within the home. To help style your way to serenity, we spoke to Verity Kizek, co-founder of sustainable homeware brand Saardé, who shares tips on how a few simple tweaks can help transform your space into a land of luxury. LIGHT IT UP Lighting can alter the mood and atmosphere of a room, so it’s important to consider what type of lights to place in your bathroom. “In addition to brighter task lighting for the bathroom, consider adding pendant lighting or wall sconces at eye height for instant ambience and a spa-like atmosphere,” Kizek suggests. SPRUCE UP WITH TOWELS Don’t underestimate the power of a fresh set of towels. “For a…

Model and author Emily Ratajkowski has told Spanish Vogue that she was surprised at the attention garnered by a viral video of herself kissing Harry Styles in the streets of Tokyo. “I didn’t expect this to happen, but I think, in general, there’s a reason certain celebrities live in LA, hire security, don’t go to public restaurants,” she says. “It’s very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know about them and comment on them. This is the first time in a long time that I’ve been in a dating stage. The interest in that particular area is very strange.” She also expressed sympathy with his ex and her friend, Olivia Wilde. “I feel bad for Olivia, because she has had to suffer this situation on…

When starring in a romantic comedy, it’s expected to have a little chemistry with your co-star. But Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney’s antics on and off set of their untitled film – now shooting in Australia – is fuelling speculation there’s something special between the two, particularly after his real-life girlfriend, Gigi Paris, unfollowed the actress, 25, on Instagram. Sweeney and Powell, 34, have shared several snaps of their off-camera adventures of late, causing some to ask whether the actor and Paris, who have been dating since 2020, have called it quits. Sweeney got engaged to Jonathan Davino last year – although they haven’t been seen together for some time. “I look for a best friend,” the Euphoria star has said of what she looks for in a partner. “I…

Royals Turning 5 is a big deal in any little boy’s life, but when that little boy is Prince Louis, you can bet his birthday is celebrated with a party fit for a king. Before official festivities kicked off, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared two gorgeous new images of their youngest child to mark the occasion. Taken last week on the grounds of their new Windsor home, the snaps showed the gorgeous little rascal in the garden laughing as he sat in a wheelbarrow full of weeds being pushed by his mum. In a surprising change, Kate was in front of the lens instead of behind it as Millie Pilkington took the pictures – hinting that they were taken among a larger family shoot that could be released…

Reuniting at Perth Airport in early April, young couple Robert Irwin and Rorie Buckey couldn’t contain their excitement. University student Buckey, 18, was beaming as she threw her arms around Robert, who had flown in from Queensland. The couple was last pictured together in December during Robert’s 19th birthday celebrations at Australia Zoo, where the passionate wildlife photographer works with his mum, Terri, and sister, Bindi. Having married her long-time love, Chandler Powell, in March 2020 and welcomed daughter Grace a year later, Bindi has been putting pressure on her little brother to step up his romantic game. “It’s pretty funny because of course my sister has gotten married and had a kid and there’s always a lot of rumours that go around,” Robert told E! News in October. “‘Bindi’s…

Interview This upcoming Mother’s Day, which falls on May 14, will be a bittersweet time for Melanie Symons, just as it is every year. The Aussie television presenter, 48, had only just welcomed her daughter, Alexandra, into the world in 2016 when she lost her own mother, Robyn, tragically and unexpectedly. “Mum’s birthday was early May as well, so it’s always a hard time as her birthday and Mother’s Day come up,” the Sydney Weekender host tells WHO. When Alexandra was just a few months old, Symons was struck down with the flu, and Robyn insisted on travelling to her daughter’s home in Byron Bay to lend a hand. “We’d all had dinner and we went upstairs to go to bed,” Symons remembers of the night. “[Alexandra’s dad, Scott, and…
