The Bachelorette star Timm Hanly reveals his completely collapsed septum and the post-surgery practice that made him cry
The Bachelorette star, 33, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a picture showing the right nostril of his nose completely closed.
While it is not yet known how his nostril collapsed, there are several ways it can occur, including a deviated septum weakening the valve, structurally weak nasal cartilages or direct trauma to the nose.
Timm underwent a septoplasty - a surgery that straightens the nasal septum - to reconstruct the nostril.
The reality star, who was a fan favourite on Angie Kent 's season of the dating show, posted a follow-up video to show his nose post-surgery.

In the clip, Timm was seen squirting saline solution up his nose, a common practice after septoplasties to keep the nasal passages moist.
'POV: Day 1 septoplasty,' he captioned the post, which showed the shirtless star teary-eyed as he attempted the uncomfortable recovery measure.
Timm made headlines last year after he was an unexpected hit in the US, charming his way into American hearts during a holiday in West Hollywood.
In June 2024, the Aussie star went viral after doing a vox pop TikTok interview with American content creator Chris Stanley as he attended a gay pride parade.
Having just 'stumbled across' the festival with his wife Briana De La Motte and their nine-month-old daughter Harper, Timm made quite the impression on viewers.
'We're just here from Australia. It's our second day here. Second day in America and we just stumbled across [the parade] and I'm just here for the vibes,' Timm said.
'We love it. We absolutely love it,' he added, before Chris asked: 'Do you think the gays can throw a good party?'
Timm promptly responded: 'F**ken' oath. One hundred per cent. No one does it better really.'
Chris then asked: 'How does it feel if a gay guy is hitting on you?'
'Oh, I love this. Let's say I'm walking down the street and a gay guy is, like, looking at me [checking me out]. That's as good as a girl looking at me,' Timm said.
'That counts. That's as good for my ego as a hot chick looking at me,' he added.
Newfound fans from the US flocked to the comments of the video to swoon over the hunky father-of-one.
'More men like him please,' Chris wrote in the caption of the clip.
Another person said: 'That's a healthy, secure and proud masculinity', while another said Timm had the 'biggest, fattest, longest d**k energy!'
'Australians are so cool and friendly,' a third added.
Meanwhile, Timm and wife Briana welcomed their daughter Harper on August 31 2023, announcing the news to Instagram alongside footage of their bundle of joy.
The couple dated on and off for six years before his stint on Angie Kent's season of The Bachelorette in 2019, where he placed runner-up to Carlin Sterritt.
He went on to appear in Bachelor in Paradise in 2020, where he struck up a romance with Brittany Hockley in Fiji.
The pair left the show as a couple after just a few episodes but broke up not long after returning to Australia.
Timm and Briana went public with their newly rekindled romance soon after Bachelor in Paradise's finale aired on TV.

Mary Fowler's love letter to Nathan Cleary sends a signal their love is stronger than ever
Perhaps it was coincidence, or perhaps it was a clear signal to their haters, either way Mary Fowler made a statement about her committment to NRL boyfriend Nathan Cleary on Thursday. There had been reports the power couple were on shaky ground after social media posts and public appearances began to dry up. However she has put those suggestions to bed with a defiant single-letter message to those doubting their love. Fowler was present at CommBank Stadium on Thursday night to support Cleary in their 22-18 loss to the Melbourne Storm, along with his mother Bec. She wore a Penrith Panthers hoodie and notably, a beige cap with the letter 'N' emblazoned on it, the first letter of her beau Nathan's name. It comes after Fowler made big strides to put an end to rumours about her relationship with Panthers star Nathan Cleary by making a surprise appearance in the crowd at CommBank Stadium. Talk of a split had intensified after reports claimed the pair had spent little time together since Fowler arrived in Australia in July. Those whispers were silenced when she was spotted at the ground alongside Nathan's mum, Bec, cheering on Penrith as Cleary starred in a 36-2 win over the Tigers, their seventh straight victory. Fowler suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during Manchester City 's FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester United, which required a full knee reconstruction and likely sideline her for much of 2025. Under the guidance of Matildas coach Joe Montemurro, she is currently doing running work in Sydney and aiming for a comeback by November 2025 - just seven months after her injury. Cleary and Fowler began making headlines in late 2023, when photos emerged of the pair together in Sydney during the NRL off-season. Their connection appeared to strengthen over the following months, with Cleary travelling to the United States in early 2024, where the two were seen together in Los Angeles during Fowler's time with Manchester City's women's team on tour. They became a regular talking point for fans and media alike, appearing in social media posts and being spotted together both in Australia and overseas, which fuelled public fascination with the high-profile sporting couple. Speculation about a possible split emerged mid-2024 when reports claimed they had spent extended periods apart due to Fowler's club commitments in England and Cleary's NRL season. Cleary and Fowler's romance has been under the spotlight since late 2023 when they were first photographed together in Sydney That lead to suggestions their demanding schedules might take a toll on the relationship. The Matildas are preparing for a series of international friendlies later this year as part of their build-up to the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup. Montemurro is expected to use these matches to test squad depth while key players like Sam Kerr and Fowler work through injury recoveries. The long-term focus remains on securing qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and building a squad capable of challenging for medals. The Penrith Panthers will look to bounce back next week when they face the Canberra Raiders at home. With finals approaching, the Panthers aim to regain momentum and secure a top-four position on the NRL ladder to push for an historic five-peat.

Jeff Bezos' mother Jackie has died
Published: | Updated: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos mourned the loss of his mother after she died surrounded by family in her Miami home at the age of 78. Jacklyn Bezos, also known as Jackie, died peacefully at home on Thursday, after a battle with brain illness, Jeff said in a post to his Instagram. 'After a long fight with Lewy Body Dementia, she passed away today, surrounded by so many of us who loved her — her kids, grandkids, and my dad,' Jeff Bezos wrote. 'I know she felt our love in those final moments. We were all so lucky to be in her life. I hold her safe in my heart forever.' Earlier the Bezos Scholars Program confirmed her passing in their own statement, writing: 'A quiet final chapter to a life that taught all of us, friends and family alike, the true meaning of grit and determination, kindness and service to others. Jackie's life of service was second only to her passion for family and gathering. As a grandmother Jackie found immense joy in watching her family grow. She passed down not only traditions and stories, but also her values - kindness, resilience, and the importance of togetherness.' Jacklyn had been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in 2020, her foundation said, with her husband Mike remaining by her side throughout the struggle. The family acknowledged the team of health care professionals that had helped her over the last few years. News of her passing was shared by Bezos' wife Lauren Sanchez, who posted a picture of her mother-in-law on Instagram with a breaking heart emoji. After news of her passing was shared to social media by the Bezos Scholars, they were quickly inundated with tributes.

After news of her passing was shared to social media by the Bezos Scholars, they were quickly inundated with tributes. 'I'm so honored I got to work with Jackie on the Bezos Scholars program and stay in touch with her and Mike. The universe is a better place for having had her in it,' one person commented. Another added: 'Jackie taught and lived by the ripple effect. The ripples she created will continue to magnify. How she touched so many lives.' Jacklyn had met Jeff's biological father Ted Jorgensen and gave birth to the billionaire at the age of 17, they had married the year previously. When Jeff was just 17 months old she filed for divorce from Jorgensen, later going on to marry Cuban refugee Miguel 'Mike' Bezos who adopted Jeff. The two share their son Mark. Jacklyn and Miguel went on to invest just under $250,000 into Amazon in 1995 to help their son with his new company. The sum that they lent him was considered not just a huge amount but also a massive risk as people were still skeptical of the internet. But the gamble paid off, as their son is now worth over $243 billion dollars - with Amazon a $2 trillion company. Bezos spoke about the original investment his parents gave him at a 2015 event, recalling telling them: 'I want you to know how risky this is. Because I want to come home at dinner for Thanksgiving and I don't want you to be mad at me.' It is unclear how much stock they still hold in the company, they donated just under 600,000 shares to the Bezos Family Foundation from 2001 to 2016 according to filings. In 2022, Bezos helped his parents snap up a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom waterfront mansion in Miami for $34 million. The property was bought by a Delaware company linked to Bezos' parents with the help of a $5million loan from the Bank of America. Jeff added to his own tribute: 'Her adulthood started a little bit early when she became my mom at the tender age of 17. That couldn't have been easy, but she made it all work. She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity, brought my amazing dad onto the team a few years later, and then added my sister and brother to her list of people to love, guard, and nourish. For the rest of her life, that list of people to love never stopped growing. She always gave so much more than she ever asked for.'

Channel Nine star shocks industry as he sensationally quits flagship show in favour of rival network
The Block's Neale Whitaker has revealed his shock career move, one year after quitting the Channel Nine series. The interior design expert, 63, is set to appear as a judge on Channel Seven 's upcoming reality TV series My Reno Rules, hosted by Dr Chris Brown. 'I'm thrilled to be joining a show that will truly redefine renovation TV. I get to share my experience with a new generation of Aussie renovators in one of my favourite cities,' Neale said in a statement. 'I can't wait to see the creative and innovative ideas our teams bring to the competition.' My Reno Rules will see four teams of contestants completely renovate two existing properties, which are then given away to lucky viewers. It distinguishes itself from The Block in that the houses are not auctioned off, meaning contestants are working to their own style ideas instead of trying to appeal to buyers. The Block judge Neale Whitaker has revealed his shock career move, one year after quitting the Channel Nine series 'Contestants will be judged on quality of craftsmanship, execution and creativity,' Neale told Sunrise hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington on Friday. Neale will be part of a judging panel, alongside Top Buyer's Agent Simon Cohen and interior design specialist Julia Green. The series is set to air on Channel Seven and 7Plus next year. He won't be the only Block veteran on the show as last month it was reported that billionaire home buyer Adrian Portelli would also be joining the series. The 36-year-old entrepreneur, who has spent millions of dollars snapping up houses over the last three seasons, shared a post to social media revealing he was leaving the Channel Nine series for good. 'Bet my high school teachers never thought… I'D HAVE MY OWN TV SHOW,' he wrote alongside a promotional photo of him and Dr Chris Brown. 'The Reno games looking a little dusty. Time for a fresh coat. The gloves are off. My Reno Rules - Coming to Seven.' Seven recently announced the brand-new home renovation series, My Reno Rules, produced by MasterChef Australia creators Endemol Shine. Neale will be part of a judging panel, alongside Top Buyer's Agent Simon Cohen and interior design specialist Julia Green The show will feature four teams of renovators competing on two neighbouring rundown house. The teams are competing for a huge prize, with a live grand finale awarding two fully renovated and furnished properties. It comes after The Block host Scott Cam sent a warning to billionaire businessman Adrian Portelli ahead of the new season's premiere. Scott begged Portelli not to attend this year's auction to give others a chance to own a home. 'To be honest we said to Adrian "we'd love you not to come next year, if that's all right." But you know it's up to him it's a public auction and he can do whatever he wants,' he revealed on Nova 96.9's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie. 'He said he won't come but he may. We don't know, but we do want to give mums and dads the opportunity to have a crack at a block house. 'If Adrian comes and wants to buy the lot of them, well, that rules them out,' Scott said. During the 2024 finale of The Block, Portelli made history by purchasing all five of the properties for a huge $15million.
