We’re living in a stressful time and it’s never been more important to prioritise self-care. What this looks like to you may be very different to what it is for me, but setting an alarm every day to recharge for an hour could be just the thing to lift your spirits should you need a little boost! My happy place is walking my dog Penny. Every single time I look at her face, my worries seem to float away. There’s something really special about that bond between humans and animals. To read more about pet therapy, go to page 64. Another great form of self-care is stretching – something I wish I’d done more of post-pregnancy and I’m paying the price now. But thanks to my very patient physio, my chronic back…
5 things we’re talking about this week!
1 Erica’s dodgy excuse to Eugenie After cruising around the Italian coast sans bikini top with Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank, Erica Pelosini has admitted it wasn’t a “good look”. The model apologised, telling MailOnline, “I usually never go topless, but my bikini got wet.” 2 Is this Big’s final scene? An insider involved in the SATC reboot And Just Like That has claimed a cast member will be killed off in the first episode – and their choice of words has everyone up in arms. “It’s going to be a big death,” the source claimed to the MailOnline, leaving many to believe the victim will be Carrie’s husband, Mr Big. 3 Holly’s a survivor Hugh Hefner’s former main squeeze Holly Madison has compared her time in the Playboy Mansion to being in a cult.…
charlize theron’s family vacay!
European summer is in full swing, and Charlize Theron is making the most of the warm weather and relaxed restrictions in other parts of the world – heading off for a Grecian getaway. It was a family affair, as the 46-year-old’s two daughters, Jackson, 9, and August, 5, joined their famous mum on a yacht off Paros Island on August 3. The trio were also accompanied by the single star’s mum, Gerda Maritz, whom Theron previously admitted helps to co-parent alongside her. “I knew that I would have to have my mum help me if I was going to do this as a single parent,” the actress told Elle magazine in 2018 while discussing her adoption journey. “To not acknowledge her co-parenting my children would be a lie.” Alongside a group of…
jock zonfrillo ‘i stand by my story’
The past few years have found chef Jock Zonfrillo on a professional and personal high. In addition to reinvigorating MasterChef Australia as one of the three new judges who arrived on the show in 2020, his family life with third wife Lauren Fried and their two young children (in addition to his two older daughters from previous relationships) is, as he told WHO, where he now finds “happiness and solace”. So when Zonfrillo, 45, was approached last year to have his biography published, he says he finally felt ready to revisit his tumultuous past. “I’ve been asked to write my story so many times and I’ve always said no because I’m ashamed of a lot of the stuff I did,” he says. “I carry the guilt of those things with me…
our surprise romance
They may have been caught in a steamy three-way kiss with actress Tessa Thompson earlier this year, but Rita Ora and Taika Waititi have confirmed they are definitely just a twosome – making their debut as a couple at The Suicide Squad premiere on August 2. Stepping out on the red carpet in Los Angeles with their arms intertwined, the singer, 30, and Oscar-winning director, 45, appeared utterly smitten with each other. Posing for a few snaps, the pair kept close as they made their way into Regency Village Theatre to watch Waititi play Ratcatcher, a former exterminator-turned-villain, in the movie. They later enjoyed more time together at the premiere’s afterparty, where they were snapped hanging out with pal Kate Beckinsale. “They were very affectionate on the red carpet,” an onlooker…
rita’s a-list loves
A decade ago Ora had a blink-and-you-miss-it romance with Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, Rob Kardashian.“It was very short-lived,”she later said.“But it was fun.” The singer struck up a romance with Calvin Harris in 2013, but things turned messy the next year when he confirmed the break-up in a tweet but didn’t tell the singer. Ora’s whirlwind romance with Andrew Garfield in 2018 was not meant to be, with the actor calling time because he reportedly wanted a more private relationship. Before heading Down Under, Ora was in a relationship with French director Romain Gavras but split earlier this year because of “work commitments”.…
