WHO Issue 8, 2023

As pregnancy reveals go, I thought Beyoncé’s announcement onstage at the 2011 VMA’s would take some beating. Step up Rihanna at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The “is she, isn’t she” chatter reached fever pitch here in WHO’s office while we took a break to watch her performance. So when the news came through shortly afterwards that the ‘Umbrella’ singer was in fact expecting her second child, just nine months after the arrival of her first, I was impressed. Who else could perform for millions while suspended from a swaying platform – and potentially fend off morning sickness – at the same time? Find out all about Rihanna’s surprise pregnancy and her incredible show from page 14. Speaking of babies, Sam Frost’s fiancé, Survivor star Jordie Hansen has told WHO…

Sarah Jessica Parker has left And Just Like That… fans scratching their heads, after sharing what appears to be a major spoiler for the show’s upcoming second season. The actress, 57, posted an on-set snap of herself (as Carrie Bradshaw) and her co-star John Corbett, 61, (aka Aidan Shaw) locking lips. “This. Is. Not. A. Drill,” she wrote alongside it. The post left the internet ablaze, with fans appearing to have very mixed feelings about a romantic reunion between the characters. Some were very much down for the pair to get back together, after they were engaged in Season 4 of Sex and the City, but split for a second time when Carrie cheats on Aidan with Mr Big. “Please don’t play with our emotions like this,” one wrote. “Stop it.…

More than a week has passed since two devastating earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria, with the death toll climbing well past 35,000 and the United Nations warning that the final number may double. “We have not seen suffering and devastation of this scale in over a decade,” Johan Mooij, the response director for World Vision Syria, said in a statement. “The impact is so enormous … it could take a generation for survivors to recover.” More than 1.1 million people have been displaced in Turkey, as many more lay buried under the rubble after the 7.8- and 7.6-magnitude quakes on February 6. In Syria, a scarcity of excavators has left people desperately digging for loved ones on their own, with those living in the rebel-held, north-west region decrying the lack of…

Influencer Martha Kalifatidis teamed up with Target for a Peter Rabbitthemed baby shower in Melbourne. Surrounded by mountains of soft toys, sweets and a nappy tower, the bash took place at the Gardens House restaurant in the lush grounds of the Botanic Gardens. “A day I’ll never forget, for a boy I’ll love forever,” the former Married at First Sight star said on Instagram. Kalifatidis, 34, is just weeks away from sharing her baby boy with the world. The star met fiancé Michael Brunelli on MAFS in 2019. The duo have had a rocky pregnancy to date, with Kalifatidis being diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), an extreme form of morning sickness, just five weeks into her pregnancy – with her health rapidly declining at the time. “At first I thought it…

Nothing says “it’s over” like wiping all evidence of your relationship from Instagram. Just before deleting her profile entirely, Megan Fox stripped it of all photos of her and her rapper fiancè Machine Gun Kelly and unfollowed him. She also pointedly shared a post featuring lyrics from Beyoncé’s ‘Pray You Catch Me’, “You can taste the dishonesty/ it’s all over your breath.” A source told People that while the couple haven’t officially called off the engagement, Fox has stopped wearing her ring. It’s been a wild ride for the pair, with their intense romance starting in 2020 after Fox finalised her divorce with actor (and father to her three children) Brian Austin Green. By January 2022, the couple were engaged – an occasion they marked at the time by drinking…

Congratulations to Younger star Molly Bernard and her wife Hannah Lieberman, who welcomed a “healthy, gentle and sassy baby girl” into their lives on January 28. “We are overjoyed and more in love than we ever imagined,” wrote the 34-year-old on Instagram alongside their first family photos. “It’s been a gorgeous two-week whirlwind adjusting to parenthood and it’s the coolest club we’ve ever been in. Hannah and I want to stay in our new family cocoon of diapers and milk and snuggles and eat every second of it up for as long as possible.” Sharing the highs and the lows of these early days, Bernard revealed, “My nips are sore, oxytocin is high, MOMS RULE.” BLAKE’S SURPRISE! And then they were six! Blake Lively, 35, and Ryan Reynolds, 46, have welcomed their…
