WHO Issue 28, 2022

One of the best things about working on WHO mag is being trusted by our favourite celebrities to share their stories. Whether it’s about an exciting new project, welcoming us into their home, or dishing on life as a newlywed or parenthood, I’m really proud that in every issue we feature interviews with our favourite Australian and international stars. This week, our Associate Editor Naomi Toy had a chat with Sophie Monk. It was our first catch-up with the star since she married her soulmate, Joshua Gross, back in April – and to say that married life agrees with Sophie is an understatement! The star, who’s also returning as the host of Nine’s fun reality show, Beauty and the Geek, opened up on how married life is going and her exciting…

The European fashion shows are in full swing and a whole galaxy of stars are turning up at both Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week and the Italian counterpart. At the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda event in Sicily on July 9, famous guests including Drew Barrymore, Mariah Carey, Sharon Stone and Helen Mirren brought the bling, while on the runway crystal- encrusted corsets, artistic skirt trains, hairpieces and puff sleeves were all the rage. Barrymore kept it real, choosing to do her own hair and makeup. “I never go to fashion shows. I’m kind of intimidated by the whole world,” she said on Instagram. Meanwhile at the Valentino Couture Spectacular, actress and guest Anne Hathaway embraced the Barbiecore trend by wearing head-to-toe pink. Bellisimo!…

Protocol dictates a hands-off approach, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge couldn’t help themselves from stealing a kiss and a tender embrace at a charity polo match in Windsor on July 6. Looking every bit as in love as they were when they met two decades ago, the couple let themselves be swept up in the fun and excitement of the day. Kate wore a stunning white midi-dress with black detail by designer Emilia Wickstead, while Wills was decked out in his polo attire. The parents of three have been spending a lot of quality time together recently as they prepare to move their young family away from Kensington to Windsor. They attended Wimbledon earlier in the week – catching Aussie bad boy Kyrgios in his drama-heavy final – with…

It’s official… Jessica Mauboy is a married woman! Australia’s darling and her man, Themeli Magripilis, said ‘I do’ in the couple’s home town of Darwin, the singer’s rep has confirmed to WHO. “It was a beautiful ceremony with family and friends,” her management shared of the July 9 Top End nuptials. But while the ceremony was kept intimate, the reception was anything but, reports the Northern Territory Times, with the pair inviting 300 of their closest loved ones to join them for a celebration at the Mindil Beach Casino. “I always knew I wanted to have the wedding in Darwin,” said the new Mrs (who lives in Sydney) in the lead-up to the big day, which has been several years in the making. “A Darwin big family fest, because all my mob is…

Aussie swimming star Michael Klim has revealed he is suffering from a rare autoimmune disorder that has left him with little to no feeling in his feet. In 2019, the two-time Olympic gold medallist (who also boasts five Commonwealth Games golds) was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) – an incurable condition in which the body “is eating its own tissue”, he tells The Project. “In my case, it’s eating the outside of my nerves.” As a result, Klim is no longer able to walk unassisted. “I’ve had special orthotics and braces fitted,” he told The Sunday Telegraph. “Without them I can’t walk and need a walking stick.” While the 44-year-old admits he has had a tough time processing his diagnosis, he says his DJ partner, Michelle Owen, has been…

The Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister Pippa Middleton, 38, has given birth to her third child – and it’s a girl! Middleton and husband, billionaire financier James Matthews, 46, kept the pregnancy under wraps, but her secret was revealed last month when she stepped out sporting a prominent baby bump! Now a mum of three, just like her big sister, the English socialite has sought parenting tips from her sibling, says a source. “Kate has so much knowledge to share. She’s a walking baby encyclopedia,” the source told Us Weekly. The baby, who was born in the exclusive Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital, London – just like cousins George, 8, Charlotte, 7, and Louis, 4 – will join siblings Arthur, 3, and Grace, 1, at home. Reports state that Pippa, like…
