From the #MeToo movement to “divorcee” Meghan Markle marrying Prince Harry, 2018 is the year of game-changing women. So we couldn’t be happier to join forces with our fellow women’s mags to campaign to put an end to paying GST on tampons. It’s even more shocking that products such as Viagra and condoms are exempt. If you want to get on board, head to bloodyannoying.com and sign the petition. While we’re on the topic of brave women, this issue is filled with inspiring females. From Angela Bishop’s strength in the face of her husband’s tragic death (p24) to 17-year-old Jenna Jones (p38), who hasn’t let losing her eyesight stop her from chasing her dream of Olympic gold. Enjoy! We’d love to hear from you (02) 9282 8508 WomansDay@bauer-media.com.au WomansDay.com.au WomansDayAus…

HAVE BRAD & JEN MARRIED IN SECRET?! Jennifer Aniston is flaunting a mystery ring on her wedding finger – and friends are sensationally buzzing that she and Brad Pitt may have secretly tied the knot again! The Hollywood superstar, 49, stepped out sporting the suspicious bling during a break from filming her new movie, Murder Mystery, in Montreal, Canada. While she’s yet to confirm the ring’s exact significance or meaning, that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from going into overdrive! “There’s mounting talk Jen and Brad may have gotten hitched in secret and this is her wedding ring,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “She’s being very coy about it all, but word is she and Brad are very much in love again, and they decided to do something utterly romantic…

BECKS WALKS OUT: I CAN’T DO THIS ANY MORE!

‘Victoria knows if she forced him they’d both be miserable’ They have doggedly tried to insist all is well in their 19-year marriage, but if the latest signs are anything to go by, David and Victoria Beckham’s marriage is all but over. Woman’s Day understands they will undergo a secret trial separation as the weight of their increasingly independent lives and persistent rumours of infidelity continue to plague their once-fairytale union. The pair, along with their four children, were seen last week on a family holiday in Croatia – but insiders close to the Beckhams say this was more of a final goodbye rather than an attempt to get things back on track. LAST CHANCE “The writing’s on the wall. David wants out, even though Posh is still clinging to…

CELEBS WHO SPLIT ON HOLIDAY

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston went on a trip to Anguilla in the Caribbean to ring in 2005, but behind the scenes they’d already decided to announce their split days later. Despite Seal and Heidi Klum posing happily during a family Christmas ski trip in 2011, Heidi filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences just weeks later. We all know that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow “consciously uncoupled”. They whisked their kids off to the Bahamas just after the news broke in 2014. And Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner also jetted to the Bahamas with their three children to escape the fallout of their 2015 break-up.…

‘I’LL TAKE CARE OF YOU, MUM’

Livin’ it up in the Big Apple! Nicole Kidman couldn’t have looked happier as she escorted her beloved mum Janelle to catch a Broadway play in New York City. After the 78-year-old’s hospitalisation in Sydney in 2016 with suspected heart problems, and a series of medical tests in May this year, the pair finally got the chance to have some fun together in the States. “Nicole’s been waiting for the moment her mum could be declared healthy enough to fly, so she could whisk her over to the US for them to spend some precious time together,” says a source. “Nic’s been worried sick about Janelle and is so relieved to see her looking so strong and full of life – she looks years younger than she did after her…

MEGHAN DUMPS HER DAD FOR GOOD!

Meghan Markle looked deliriously happy and beautiful on her wedding day as she exchanged vows with Prince Harry in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, signalling the start of her fairytale life as the Duchess of Sussex. But two months on from her big day, palace insiders say the 36-year-old is secretly struggling to cope with the pressures of royal life as well as her increasingly fractured relationship with her family. Now, shock claims have emerged that her father Thomas Markle, 74, “made up” his emergency heart surgery as a reason not to attend her wedding and avoid further embarrassment after he was accused of staging photos to sell to the paparazzi. And Woman’s Day can reveal heartbroken Meghan has been forced to make the painful decision…

MEGHAN DUMPS HER DAD FOR GOOD!

We’ll protect Meghan!

As Meghan struggles to come to terms with her family drama, the royal family are rallying around to support her. And none of them have been there for her more than Harry. While Meghan oozed confidence during the early days of their relationship and seemed at ease in their engagement photos, Harry has now become a fierce protector of his wife. He’s frequently seen taking the lead during royal engagements and guiding Meghan through the endless loopholes she needs to jump through. But Harry isn’t the only one looking out for Meghan. Her new sister-in-law Kate showed her support by whisking her on a girls’ day out to Wimbledon, where they watched Meghan’s close friend Serena Williams compete in the women’s final. Even the Queen is lending a hand. As…

‘Our baby might even be climbing before he’s walking!’ Forget the Warped Wall – Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal Ninja Warrior favourites Andrea Hah and husband Lee Cossey will face their biggest challenge yet when they welcome their first child, a boy, in November! The happy couple – who are part of a group called the Blue Mountains Rock Climbers alongside Lee’s brother Ben – found out they were expecting just a few months after filming wrapped for the second season of Australian Ninja Warrior. And they couldn’t be happier. “It’s been on the cards for a few years,” physiotherapist Lee, 36, excitedly tells us. While Andrea and Lee – who wed in March – share a mutual love for exercise and nature, they’re on slightly different pages when it…

ANGELA BISHOP ‘MY LITTLE GIRL’S GIVEN ME STRENGTH’

‘I think it’s great for Amelia to see her mum doing what she loves’ Behind her smile and polished professionalism in front of the camera, veteran entertainment reporter Angela Bishop is hiding a very personal pain. In November last year, her cherished husband Peter Baikie died from a rare form of cancer – and Angela, alongside their daughter Amelia, 10, has been struggling to come to terms with the loss ever since. FINDING STRENGTH “You never know when the grief is going to happen,” the Studio 10 co-host told Stellar magazine last week. “You never know when it’s going to hit.” Eight months on and aside from the job she loves, Angela, 50, has a very good reason to get up each morning and keep going. Amelia has been Angela’s…

Jessica Marais LOVE & THE CHURCH HEALED MY HEART

It’s been a tough time for Love Child star Jessica Marais, who has completed four weeks as an inpatient at The Sydney Clinic to treat her bipolar disorder. Now the star is recovering as an outpatient, and credits the love and support of her photographer boyfriend Jake Holly with helping her through. “You can go 40 days without food, 4 days without water, 4 minutes without air, but not a moment without hope. So grateful for hope-filled and faith-filled humans who have contagious kindness. Love transcends all barriers both internal and external, the world could do with more of it,” Jess wrote on Instagram alongside a recent pic of herself with Jake. The Hillsong Church has also been a source of comfort. “She’s a devout member of the congregation and…

How Ita got revenge on Studio 10

‘It’s pretty great she’s managed to nab another gig so quickly’ Three months on from her shock departure from Studio 10, Ita Buttrose is having the last laugh. The media maven has landed a high-profile new television gig, putting the personality clashes with former co-stars – including Denise Drysdale, who launched a brussels sprout at Ita’s head during a cooking segment after several glasses of champagne – well and truly behind her. Ita’s now starring alongside David Campbell on Nine’s significantly higher-rating morning show Today Extra – and she couldn’t be happier. “Sonia Kruger is in Canada on assignment and Ita was more than happy to step into her shoes,” reveals an industry insider. “At the moment, it’s not a permanent gig, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t…

Sonia’s baby news!

With Ita filling in for her, our source says 52-year-old Sonia will also take the opportunity to have a holiday with her husband Craig McPherson – before adding to their family! “She has quietly told a few people that they’re planning to have another baby,” says our source. Sonia fell pregnant at 48 with the help of an egg donor and the couple welcomed their daughter Maggie in January 2015. “This vacation is a chance for her to really put her feet up, relax and spend some time with Craig before they go down the route of becoming parents again,” adds the insider.…

MARRIED AT... LAST!

There was a huge laugh as Melanie Schilling and her new hubby Gareth hit the floor for their first dance to At Last at their stunning Balinese jungle wedding. “It was the most apt song given I’m getting married for the first time at 46 after a six-and-a-half-year engagement,” laughs Mel, relationship coach for Nine’s Married At First Sight. Mel met her now-husband through eHarmony after spending the majority of her 30s single and happy. PERFECT DAY Unlike the MAFS couples she coaches, Mel and Gareth took their time to marry and, despite the delay, their day was perfect. Mel couldn’t have looked more beautiful or relaxed as she pledged her love to Gareth in front of 60 close friends and family, and the couple’s three-year-old daughter Maddie. ‘Saying my…

MH17 MUM ‘WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, I CAN SEE THEIR SMILES’

With their dancing eyes and cheeky grins, it’s still so hard to believe Mo, Evie and Otis Maslin, who tragically became the faces of the MH17 disaster, are gone. All three would be in high school by now but instead, their lives, along with their grandfather’s, were cut short at just 12, 10 and eight respectively, after a Russian missile destroyed the civilian plane they were on as it flew over eastern Ukraine. The Malaysia Airlines jet fell from the skies killing 298 people – including 38 Australians – on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. No person or country has been charged for the July 17, 2014 atrocity, however international investigators have concluded that the attack was orchestrated by pro-Russian rebels. For four years, mum Rin Norris has…

‘WE ONLY FILL ONE BIN A YEAR!’

When Nic Turner drags her wheelie bin to the kerb, it rattles with a few broken toys that couldn’t be fixed or recycled. The only other things in there are some worn-out fabric from her family’s well-loved clothes. Unlike her recycling bin that’s placed on the street every two months, it’s rare to see a rubbish bin outside Nic’s home because, incredibly, she and her husband Mike Ryan produce just one binful of garbage a year. In 2012, the parents, who live in Auckland, NZ, with daughters Asha, four, and Makhi, two, completely changed the way they approached shopping and waste. “We made one small change at a time so it didn’t feel like a big deal,” says Nic, 40. The family embraced the minimalist lifestyle six years ago after…

Did this hospital poster girl KILL 17 BABIES?

She was entrusted with the care of vulnerable premmie babies, but now British nurse Lucy Letby has been arrested on suspicion of murdering eight newborns – and police believe the 28-year-old could also be responsible for the deaths of another nine babies. Her arrest came after police were called in to investigate an inexplicable spike in neonatal fatalities during 2015 and 2016 at the Countess of Chester Hospital in the UK, in a case that shocked the world and devastated parents whose children were at the unit at the time of the deaths. “This is really scary,” said mum Melissa Campion on social media. “To think in this time period not only was my son born, so was my baby cousin and my sister’s daughter – all in this hospital.…

‘I’m losing my sight,but I’ll never stop swimming’

When she was in her first year of primary school, teachers thought Jenna Jones was a naughty, fidgety child. “I was always in trouble and constantly told to sit down,” Jenna recalls. “But I wasn’t naughty. I just had to move closer to the front so I could see what my teacher was doing.” When the school called her mum Therese and dad Brad, that was their first inkling something wasn’t right with Jenna, who’s now 17 and the second youngest of their six kids. “We thought she just needed glasses but when an ophthalmologist told us to go straight to Westmead Children’s Hospital it began to sink in Jenna had a more serious issue.” SHOCK DIAGNOSIS At first, doctors feared a tumour on Jenna’s optic nerve was damaging her…

How to... REFRESH A FRIENDSHIP

Most friendships hit road bumps during their lifetime, and while it’s healthy to let some go, there are others you want to go the distance.

PROBLEM AREA: BACK CULPRIT: STRESS? “Stress and anxiety can cause muscle tension, which itself can trigger pain in many areas of the back,” says leading Sydney neurosurgeon Dr Richard Parkinson. “Exercise such as walking, yoga and simply stretching can provide relief.” For a more holistic approach, chiropractor Dr Caterina Massara suggests meditation, guided visualisation, body scanning and slow, diaphragmatic breathing daily to achieve relaxation and release the pressure on your back. PROBLEM AREA: JOINTS CULPRIT: OSTEOARTHRITIS? Osteoarthritis is one of the most chronic joint conditions in Australia. “It causes pain in joints and loss of mobility,” says NPS MedicineWise medical adviser Dr Jill Thistlethwaite. Some people rely on opioids for managing the pain, but Jill says simple changes to your weight and exercise regimen can reduce the condition’s impact. “Think…

3 WAYS TO CHAMPION WOMEN LIKE AN A-LISTER!

FIGHT FOR NO TAX ON TAMPONS Each year, the Australian Government rakes in $30 million in revenue from the 10 per cent GST placed on tampons and sanitary pads. “I don’t think the government should be able to tax bodily functions. And yet, that’s what happens to millions of Australian women,” says The Project host Carrie Bickmore. Thankfully, our Senate recently passed a bill to abolish tax on feminine hygiene products, which would save every Aussie woman around $1000 over a lifetime, but it’s a waiting game to see whether state and territory governments also agree. SUPPORT #METOO One in two women will experience sexual harassment during their lifetime. So it’s more important than ever to support female-empowering initiatives, like #MeToo and our national NOW Australia campaign created by journalist…

The animal Whisperer

Pearl reconnects with Liz’s mum AMANDA SAYS Pearl shows me that she has passed over. I felt it had only been a few months since she passed and that she was around 10 years old. Pearl had been unwell for quite some time, but she hung on as Liz was unwell too and she needed to stay alive to support her. Pearl was a fighter and very strong willed – the vets said she should have passed a long time ago but she proved them wrong. She had a lot of mobility problems especially in the hip area. She tells me she came to Liz and her family when she was very young. She was mistreated in her previous home, but wants Liz to know that when they got her,…

I AGREE NO MORE TAX ON WOMEN!

“A woman’s menstrual cycle is fundamental to the creation of human life. It’s not a luxury to be taxed!” – Leisel Jones, Aussie Olympian From the #MeToo movement to the debate over the gender pay gap, women’s equality is a hot topic across the world. And the fact that Australian women pay GST on tampons and sanitary items is among the issues at the top of the agenda. Since 2000, women have been paying GST on tampons and sanitary items. That’s because they’re deemed to be “nonessential” – unlike fresh food, toilet paper, health insurance, lubricants and medical items. Even Viagra is deemed “essential” and therefore not subject to the tax. When GST was introduced, it was meant to be fair and simple, but we believe it’s not. So,…

Hats off to the fans Natty and Don travelled to the amazing Etihad Stadium, home of the Melbourne Renegades, for their Big Bash cricket game. M Janetzki , Horsham, Vic Prissy princesses Who do the two young “ladies” Eugenie and Beatrice think they are? Just because they’re born into the royal family doesn’t give them the right to behave badly. The rest of the family are going to turn their backs on them.

Xavier’s legacy & love

For 10 years I worked with children and families as a social worker. I learned a lot about grief but I didn’t realise its total devastation until January 30, 2015, when my husband and I heard the words every parent dreads. “I’m sorry. There’s no heartbeat.” Our beautiful boy Xavier was stillborn the next day. Some time later, my husband and I made the decision to try for another baby, and on March 14, 2017, we were lucky enough to welcome Xavier’s baby brother into the world. His name is Kai and in a very special coincidence he was born at 2.18pm – the exact same time as Xavier. I’ve found great comfort in reading other parents’ stories of loss and their process of healing, so I decided to write…

SHANE: ‘MY SECRET FAMILY HEARTACHE’

‘With Kris Smith and Jett Kenny, no one will be looking at me!’ Shane Jacobson has plenty of experience when it comes to being in front of the camera, but the TV star faces his most nerve-racking job yet when he hosts – and strips off for – Seven’s upcoming charity special The Real Full Monty. Despite his reservations, Shane says it’s all worth it because it will spread awareness about prostate and testicular cancer – a cause close to his heart. “My stepfather has prostate cancer,” Shane reveals. “Felicity, my wife, encouraged me to take part and said it’ll get people’s attention. She said I’d regret it if I didn’t. “All the people involved in this project have been affected in one way or another by men’s cancers, so…
