Apple heiress to be wed this week in $10.2 million countryside ceremony

News.com.au23-07-2025
Apple heiress Eve Jobs, 27, is set to tie the knot with Olympic equestrian gold medallist fiance Harry Charles, 26, this week — in a $6.7 million (A$10.2m), British countryside blowout, boasting family friend Kamala Harris on the guest list and a performance by Elton John.
Describing the working model's big day as 'a multi-million-pound fairytale' in the making, one insider claimed that the elite event, planned by 'I do'-industry superstar Stanlee Gatti, was already 'turning rural Oxfordshire upside down.'
The source told The Sun that the failed 2024 presidential contender — a close, personal pal of matriarch Laurene Powell Jobs — will be in attendance, alongside the likes of Jessica Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders and Princess Beatrice. Tech scions Jennifer and Phoebe Gates are thought to be making the trip as well.
'The wedding is being planned like a military operation. The itinerary is scheduled so precisely, with guests starting to arrive all this week before the wedding celebrations begin on Thursday,' the insider said.
Jobs' siblings — Reed, 33, and Erin, 29 — are also expected to attend the ultra-posh party, though sources close to the family were unsure whether or not the bride's half-sister, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, will be present.
Though details regarding Jobs' wedding looks have been kept under wraps this far, many have speculated that the blushing bride will opt for a unique couture gown for the main event.
The happy pair first publicly debuted their relationship at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where Charles was competing.
Since graduating from Stanford University, where her parents first met, Jobs has walked Paris Fashion Week runways for luxury labels like Coperni, competed in equestrian World Cup Finals and followed in her mother's philanthropic footsteps.
Jobs is currently signed with DNA Model Management. In recent years, she has appeared on the cover of Vogue Japan — as well as a splashy Louis Vuitton campaign.
Notably, the offspring of the late tech titan Steve Jobs will not inherit the Apple architect's billions, it has been widely reported.
Last month, the 27-year-old jetted off to Capri for a lavish Italian bachelorette weekend — alongside close friends like Olympian Eileen Gu, and fellow Stanford alums.
Her fiancé's sister, Scarlett, and mother, Tara, also attended the glam girls' getaway.

The shocking true story behind chilling crime series 'Under the Bridge'

Under the Bridge is a compelling crime drama and at times, a shocking one, too. It's even more unnerving to realise it's based entirely on a true story – the violent murder of 14-year-old Indian Canadian girl Reena Virk at the hands of her peers. Virk's murder shook Canada to its core in the late '90s. The story was later turned into a wildly successful true-crime novel by Rebecca Godfrey (played by Riley Keough in the series). Under the Bridge takes moments from Godfrey's book – also called Under The Bridge – and the memoir of Reena Virk's father, Manjit Virk – Reena: A Father's Story – to form its plot and help fill in finer details. Despite this, the warning at the start of each episode stating some elements are "fictionalised or invented for dramatic purposes" can make one wonder just how much of the story actually happened. Here, we answer the questions you may have had while watching Under the Bridge. Which parts of this riveting drama were real and which were invented for the series? If you haven't seen Under the Bridge yet, it isn't to late to watch right now on SBS On Demand. Here is the fact and the fiction of Under the Bridge . The following facts may discomfort some readers. Is 'Under the Bridge' a true story? Yes. 14-year-old Reena Virk (played by Vritika Gupta) was killed in a bullying incident under the Craigflower Bridge in her hometown of Saanich, British Columbia. Six teenagers, who became known as the " Shoreline Six " (named after Shoreline Community Middle School) were tried and convicted for assaulting Virk. It is reported that they swarmed her and beat her, leaving her bloody and bruised. Upon trying to leave the area, Virk was followed and attacked by two other individuals, Warren Paul Glowatski (Javon Walton) and Kelly Marie Ellard (Izzy G), who knocked her unconscious and left her body in the Gorge Waterway, where she later drowned. Glowatski and Ellard were tried as adults and convicted for Virk's murder. Izzy G as Kelly Ellard in 'Under the Bridge'. Credit: Jeff Weddell. Godfrey's account of the story alleges 14 girls and two boys were at the scene that night, but only a handful participated. In MSCNBC's Dateline episode titled Bloodlust Under the Bridge , Nicole Cook (named Josephine Bell in the series and played by Chloe Guidry) admitted to lighting a cigarette and putting it out on Virk's forehead to imitate the placement of a bindi. This action is reported to be the beginning of Virk's assault. Cook also returned to the scene of the crime to retrieve Virk's sweater and shoes, forcing another resident to hide them in the girls' group home. This ultimately led to the resident contacting the police. Who is Lily Gladstone's character based on? Lily Gladstone plays Indigenous police officer Cam Bentland in the series, a character invented solely for Under the Bridge . Lily Gladstone as police officer Cam Bentland in 'Under the Bridge'. Credit: Darko Sikman. In an interview with the New York Times , Gladstone said the addition of Bentland as a character added some much needed nuance to the story that the book was missing. "The murder happened just by tribal land," she said. "The bridge connects the municipality to a reserve. So inherently, there's a First Nations presence in the story. I thought it was a brilliant construction to have a First Nations, adopted cop, who feels compelled to Reena in a way that becomes clearer and clearer to her." Thus, Bentland's relationship with Rebecca Godfrey is also fictionalised, but its adds a layer of depth to the story that makes Under the Bridge just that much more interesting to watch. You can catch Lily Gladstone in the following films: Who is Riley Keough's character based on? In Under the Bridge , Riley Keough plays Rebecca Godfrey, author of the true crime novel of the same name. Though Godfrey did in fact investigate the murder closely, she was not as actively involved in the story as the series suggests. In fact, in her novel, she is not even a character.

According to The Wrap , show creators Quinn Shephard and Smir Mehta worked closely with Rebecca Godfrey and Reena Virk's father to develop the show. Godfrey herself is said to have made the casting call to have Keough play her in the series. Shephard and Mehta felt that telling the story through a slightly fictionalised version of Godfrey helped to ground the series in a central character. It also allowed Godfrey's perspectives in her novel to be displayed showcased in a single character, instead of making it the "only definitive account of the crime". The series also explores the death of Godfrey's brother, Jonathan, (named Gabe in the series), who also coincidentally drowned . Though in her novel, Godfrey did not draw parallels between that experience and the murder of Reena Virk like the series does. You can catch Riley Keough in the following films: Under the Bridge is now streaming on SBS On Demand.

A new, larger than life teaspoon sculpture lands on Sydney Harbour

Spoon-bending 'feats' of telekinesis and illusion are the inspiration for a new commission at the Museum of Contemporary Art as the gallery heroes contemporary sculpture on the harbour and tackles a multi-million dollar operating deficit. Los Angeles-based Australian artist Ricky Swallow was fascinated by Uri Geller's so-called mind tricks as a young boy growing up in the pre-internet Melbourne, and has created four warped large-scale stainless-steel spoon sculptures for the MCA's terrace which appear to have been put through the same mind wash. 'I felt like Uri Geller was on an endless world tour with that trick,' Swallow notes. 'I remember trying to bend spoons having seen it demonstrated by Uri Geller on TV. ' Swallow's Bent Forms #1–#4, scaled-up wax prints of actual teaspoons, are the first in a series of prominent sculptural commissions to be installed at the MCA over the next six months, the biggest being the inaugural Neil Balnaves Tallawoladah Lawn Commission to be unveiled late September in honour of the late arts philanthropist. A work by British contemporary sculptor Thomas J. Price will be the first of three to be showcased over three years on the museum's prominent harbour-side verge. The details come as the MCA revealed a $2 million operating deficit for 2024. The loss, which it says is covered by cash reserves, has been attributed to the ongoing impact of the global economic downturn and rising costs of wages, energy, exhibition freight and construction. In January, it introduced admission fees for the first time in 25 years. According to its latest financial results, the MCA is now self-generating about 85 per cent of its revenue from corporate partners, patrons and commercial activities including a new-look gala fundraiser, the MCA Artists Ball, which raised more than $1.1 million. Cost-cutting would continue throughout this year, its chair, Lorraine Tarabay said, its revenue measures moving the gallery closer to a balanced budget by end of the year with the benefit of full impact felt in 2026.
