EditorialThis Week In… New IdeaLocal stars p24 Royals p12 Food p44 If there’s two things I’m a sucker for, it’s a good wedding, and rewatching nostalgic episodes of Home and Away. So when Kimberley Cooper – aka Gypsy Nash, one of the show’s most iconic characters in my opinion! – revealed she was getting married to her dream man, I was thrilled that she invited New Idea to attend the wedding in stunning Ojai, California. Check out the gorgeous photos and her lovely chat with associate editor Melissa Field on page 16. We think you’ll agree Kimberley made the most beautiful bride, and even handled a few hiccups on the day with amazing grace. Congratulations to the happy couple! Editor Fashion p55…1 min

NEWSDivorced With No Prenup!Hollywood’s worst-kept secret has finally been confirmed, with Jennifer Lopez filing for divorce from Ben Affleck. After two years of marriage, the singer and actress filed the paperwork without an attorney present in the LA County Superior Court on August 20. Their official separation date was listed as April 26, 2024. Significantly, J.Lo, 55, chose the second anniversary of their traditional Georgia wedding ceremony to file the papers (their first wedding was held in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022). It wasn’t confirmed if a prenuptial agreement was in place between Ben, 52, and J.Lo, though multiple sources have told TMZ “there is indeed no prenuptial agreement”. With California being a community property state, this means any earnings or profit made during their union will be split 50/50. According to…1 min

NEWS‘My Son’s Going To Make It!’Priscilla Presley has dealt with an unthinkable amount of grief in recent years, with her grandson Benjamin and daughter Lisa Marie both passing in tragic circ*mstances. Now, it can be revealed that her second child – son Navarone with her ex Marco Garibaldi – was terrifyingly close to his own demise. The 37-year-old revealed in a candid Instagram post last week he was addicted to fentanyl, but has since overcome his addiction. “My name is Navarone … I am a survivor of the fentanyl epidemic,” he said, adding that he became addicted when dealers told him the drug was “white China heroin”. He claimed he has been off the drug since 2020, “but had a brief relapse with heroin … neither are part of my life anymore”. He added he…1 min

NEWS$1 Million Blowout!When Sonia Kruger hit the Logies red carpet earlier this month, she was dripping in almost $1 million in diamond jewellery! The Voice Australia presenter – who turns 59 on Wednesday – went all out with her extravagant bling, wearing five diamond rings, two sets of diamond earrings and five diamond bracelets – all designed by Double Bay fine jeweller Jan Logan. When added together, the pieces were worth just shy of $1 million – with the most expensive piece being a 6.09-carat diamond ring worth $230,000. Clearly last year’s Gold Logie winner set out to make a style statement, but the star’s look was met with disapproval by fans online. Amid a cost-of-living crisis, one commenter dubbed the look as “excessive and frankly unnecessary”. Other pundits said they hadn’t…1 min

NEWSSet To Wed!A wedding looks to be on the cards for Brooke Warne and her long-time love Alex Heath! The couple have been holidaying in the Greek Islands – and fans are speculating it was topped off by a romantic proposal. While they are yet to confirm the news publicly, the rumour mill went into overdrive after Brooke, 27, posted a video of the pair to Instagram, in which Alex, also 27, looked poised to get down on bended knee. After eight years together, an engagement wouldn’t come as a surprise to the couple’s nearest and dearest. Alex has been a rock to Brooke since she lost her dad, legendary cricketer Shane Warne, in March 2022.…1 min
