WHO Issue 3, 2023

When it comes to exclusive interviews with the stars, this issue of WHO has got you covered. From hanging out with actor and model Christian Wilkins (and his dad, entertainment legend Richard) at his super-cool Sydney home on page 20 to chatting to rocker Jon Bon Jovi about his love of rosè – hey, you and me both Bonj! – and the range he’s created with his son Jesse on page 28, plus a catch-up with Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim himself on page 32, our associate editor Naomi Toy has been busy! I pored over all three stories, but I don’t think you can beat a sneak peek inside the home of a star – and chez Wilkins is a real treat. Meanwhile, I’ve also been unable to look away…

How things can change in the space of a year! Rewind 12 months and Australian tennis star Ash Barty was celebrating her win at the Australian Open. Now she’s retired from the game and just announced that she’s going to be a mum! Barty, 26, dropped the bombshell she was hanging up her tennis racquet for good in March 2022 to “chase other dreams”. The athlete revealed she had discovered her purpose after stepping away from tennis, telling Mamamia, “I want kids and I want people to feel comfortable in themselves.” And in an exciting Instagram post making the news official, Barty shared that her next role will be mum. “2023 set to be the best year yet,” Barty wrote next to a photo of baby sneakers and her border collie watching…

He has a reputation for showing big-name celebrities around his local neighbourhood, and Chris Hemsworth put on his finest collared shirt and dress pants last week to welcome royal couple Mike and Zara Tindall to the Gold Coast. As long-term ambassadors for the Magic Millions event, Mike, 44, and Zara, 41, were escaping the frosty UK winter for a spot of sunshine in Queensland. It was the royal couple’s second visit in almost as many months. Last November, former rugby player Mike finished in fourth place on the UK’s version of I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!, which is filmed in Queensland. And while it’s unclear whether the Hemsworths have been acquainted with the royals before, the Tindalls certainly seemed to hit it off with Thor star Chris,…

It’s been six weeks since Carrie Bickmore hung up her heels on The Project, after a 13-year stint as host on the Network 10 news program. And the 42-year-old is well and truly in recharge mode, having been spotted taking a well-deserved break in Byron Bay with her family. Showing off her sensational figure in a neon swimsuit, Bickmore hit the beach with her three children – Ollie, 15, Evie, 7, and Adelaide, 4. The presenter looked amazing as she splashed around with her little ones in the high-cut one-piece on January 3. The beach outing comes months after Bickmore announced she was leaving The Project to spend more time with her family. “It’s time for a new challenge and for my next chapter,” she shared in October. “I want to…

A year after her devastating miscarriage, Jessie J has revealed she is pregnant with her first child. The former The Voice Australia host, 34, posted the happy news on her Instagram alongside a sweet video showing off her baby bump. “I am so happy and terrified to finally share this,” the singer captioned the reel, which revealed her positive pregnancy test, ultrasound videos and a series of bump shots. “Please be gentle with me … honestly, ya girl just wants to ugly cry in public in a catsuit eating a chocolate covered pickle with no questions asked.” In November 2021, Jessie revealed she had suffered a miscarriage. “Yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down … After going for my 3rd scan and being told…

There must be something in the water Down Under, with a host of local stars announcing additions to their families in recent days. The Block’s Elyse Knowles, 30, took to Instagram on January 9 to reveal she is set to welcome her second child with fiancé, Josh Barker. “Very, very grateful for baby number 2,” she shared alongside some bump snaps. “Half way until Sunny is a big brother.” Meanwhile, fitness guru Kayla Itsines welcomed her second child – a son, Jax Stokes – with fiancé, Jae Woodroffe. “Words absolutely cannot describe this feeling,” she gushed.…
