ZARA PHILLIPS & MIKE TINDALL – MEET BABY MIA
A few weeks into parenthood, Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall are on top of their game. Past championship form on horse or pitch is no guarantee of ease around a small, swaddled bundle, but the Tindalls make the transition from couple to family look entirely natural. Mia Grace, born January 17 and weighing 3.3kg, is lucky in her lineage. She has no royal title – not even an Hon – but is the Queen’s fourth great-grandchild and 16th in line to the throne.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE! HUNTER TYLO – MY AFFAIR WITH RONN MOSS
The Ridge, Brooke and Taylor love triangle has been the backbone of international soapie The Bold and the Beautiful through much of its run. And for years, fans of the show have been wondering if any of the actors carried on the raging passions when the cameras stopped rolling.

In a world exclusive interview, Hunter tells New Idea what went on behind the scenes…

HOME AND AWAY’S STEVE PEACOCK – WE’RE GETTING MARRIED
Home and Away’s cutest couple Steve Peacocke and Bridgette Sneddon were spotted out and about in Sydney on two separate occasions recently, with Bridgette sporting some seriously sparkly engagement ring bling – which she promptly removed when she spotted photographers. The ring has further fuelled rumours that the pair – who have been a couple since they met at in 2005 – are set to walk down the aisle.

KIEREN PERKINS’ SURPRISE PROPOSAL
It was the perfect finish to a day filled with quiet contentment, good friends, fine food, whisky and wineries in beautiful Tasmania. In fact, there was only one thing missing when Australian swimming superstar Kieren Perkins took the plunge and proposed to his partner Karen Davis on the historic Hobart waterfront – a sparkler on her finger! There may be no ring, but there’s definitely a lot of
love between Kieren and Karen, who can’t wait to tie the knot later this year.
