Married At First Sight's Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant share major relationship news: 'We're two individuals with our own dreams'
The mother-of-two took to social media on Thursday to thank the former cricket star for being her biggest cheerleader ahead of the 2025 AusMumpreneur Awards.
'We're two individuals with our own dreams, but when it counts… we're a team,' Jules wrote.
The 42-year-old revealed he is the ultimate behind-the-scenes support act.
'He irons my suit (with a towel), reads my presentation back to me while I get ready, and cheers from the wings…
'Not because he has to, but because that's what partnership is. Choose someone who celebrates you in the spotlight and loves you in the quiet.'
Jules joked that win or lose, she had already 'hit the jackpot', adding: 'Thank you Cam. I love you and I hope everyone has a Cam.'
The reality TV favourites – who met at the altar on MAFS' sixth season in 2019 – also shared touching messages to each other in the comments.
Cam responded: 'These are cherished moments together and I love them all, so proud of you. Love watching and helping you rise and love when we do the same for each other.'
Hours later, Jules was on stage collecting her quartet of awards, recognising her entrepreneurial achievements as the powerhouse behind body-positive shapewear brand FIGUR.
'I'm honestly blown away,' she told fans after the ceremony. 'Thank you to everyone who voted. Thank you for supporting me, for cheering me on through it all! I promise to keep putting my heart into what lights me up and putting positivity into the world.'
The victory comes as Jules prepares to unveil her latest venture – a new activewear collaboration with Australian label Active Truth.
The pair have gone from strength-to-strength after meeting on MAFS in 2019, and welcomed their second child in July last year.
The hairstylist shared their happy news on Instagram as she delighted her followers with the gender of their newborn.
Confirming the birth of their new arrival, Jules shared an array of heartwarming snaps of herself, Cameron and their son Oliver doting over the newborn baby.
Giving an insight into the precious moment, the family all beamed with pride as they cuddled up to baby Carter in hospital.
Jules also revealed the poignant meaning behind her son's adorable moniker Carter James in a long caption.
The proud mother said the name Carter 'holds spiritual significance by embodying leadership, wisdom, responsibility, creativity, representing community spirit'.
She added that people with the moniker are 'commonly' viewed as 'hardworking, loyal, disciplined, and protective, valuing security and nurturing close relationships'.
Jules went on to reveal the many sweet tributes behind her baby boy's middle name James, which means 'gift from God' and is Cameron's middle name.

Inside Yahoo Serious' Hollywood downfall, from having the world at his feet in a $3 million mansion with his glamourous wife, to living out of his car at age 72
In 1988, an unknown bloke with a strange name from Australia's coal-mining heartland became the toast of Hollywood. Yahoo Serious blazed to international success with his film Young Einstein - which he directed and starred in - making $20 million at the box office. His professional relationship with his movie-making collaborator Lulu Pinkus - herself an acclaimed Australian actress and artist - had blossomed into romance. They married in 1989. Yahoo was on top of the world, with US media describing him as 'the next big thing from Down Under'. Which makes it all the more shocking that almost 40 years later, he is understood to be homeless in Sydney after being evicted for illegally squatting in a Palm Beach mansion. The 72-year-old was forced to flee with his Jack Russell terrier Jingle after police were called to help his landlord kick him out last Tuesday. Serious left an array of items behind in his ageing BMW sedan, which lies abandoned outside the Barrenjoey Road home, including a box of Jingle's medication, Ugg boots, a length of rope, an esky, and a cooking pan. It's understood he may still be on the city's northern beaches, given his longtime affinity for the area. In much better times, the then Mr and Mrs Serious owned a stunning house on Norma Road, which overlooked the postcard-perfect biscuit-coloured sands of Palm and Whale beaches. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home featured a pool with a stunning vista over the Pacific Ocean, which the couple sold in 2011 for $3.1 million. It's now estimated to be worth $5.8 million. Ms Pinkus and Serious split in 2007, after working together on Einstein, Reckless Kelly (1993) and Mr Accident (2000). On his website, Yahoo described Lulu as 'My partner in everything. She is an extremely versatile artist. Lulu works so silently that few people are aware that every character and every scene is so enriched by her critical eye and deft touch.' They divorced in 2010. It's not known why they split, but it appears to mark the beginning of Serious' downward spiral. Ms Pinkus has fared far better since the divorce, moving to a waterfront apartment overlooking Sydney's Double Bay, which she bought for $1.5 million in 2011. Today, it would be worth around $2.9 million. He once lived on Palm Beach's Norma Road, with stunning views over the Pacific Ocean She was not at home when Daily Mail approached her for comment on Tuesday. Serious, apparently attached to the northern beaches, rented an apartment in Avalon, which he was evicted from in 2020 for not paying rent - and was ordered to pay his landlord $15,000 in arrears. Not long after, he was homeless and living out of his car with his dog at Palm Beach, using its public shower block for his ablutions, when kindhearted local Margie Charlton took pity on the ageing former star. She told the Daily Mail in June that she invited him to live in the granny flat at the home of Palm Beach resident Charles Phillip Porter, for whom she held power of attorney. Ms Charlton, who lived in nearby Avalon, explained that while she took care of Mr Porter's cooking and cleaning, she wanted someone around to keep an eye on her ageing charge when she wasn't there. She said it was made clear to Serious that the offer only stood until Mr Porter was moved to a nursing home when his dementia advanced so far that living in his mansion was no longer feasible. She would then need Serious to vacate the property so she could sell it to help with Mr Porter's care. But when the time came, Serious not only refused to leave - he had moved from the basement into the main house. This kick-started an ugly battle between Serious and Ms Charlton in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which came to a head earlier this month. Serious was ordered to leave by August 4, and after an altercation between him and Ms Charlton on August 5 - in which he claimed she was being violent, which Ms Charlton vehemently denies - police turfed him out. In the days before his eviction, Serious claimed he was not squatting, but 'surviving'. It is understood he has been receiving treatment for Lymphoma, and indeed in the past year has appeared a shadow of his former self. 'I'm greatly improving, I was very close to death very recently … I just, I'm coming good but I'm having trouble with just, recall of day to day things,' he said during his tribunal appearance. In 2016, he underwent debilitating hip surgery. A quirky website registered to Serious in 2000 - the same year he tried and failed to sue the search engine Yahoo! for trademark infringement -provides an insight into his chaotic mind. After growing up as Greg Pead in NSW's Cardiff, near Newcastle, he explained on his site why he changed his name by deed poll in 1980. 'Each day there are a million choices to be made starting with what you put on your toast. You're born with a name but so what?' he said. 'You can choose every other aspect of your life, so why not your name?' In an undated interview posted to his site, Serious said he sees himself as, 'Nasty, untrustworthy, rude, unreliable, and childish'. A perhaps foreboding sentence uttered years before he left a trail of furious landlords in his wake. Now, grave fears are held for Serious and his dog Jingle's wellbeing. When he was forced to leave the Barrenjoey Road home, Sydney was suffering through days of cold rainstorms. Neighbours did not know where the fallen Hollywood star and his faithful dog went after being kicked out, and his car remained untouched a week after the eviction. A Daily Mail search of the Palm Beach area - where he once enjoyed prime position in the home he shared with Lulu - turned up no sign of Serious or Jingle.

Jodie Whittaker is far too good for this contrived Aussie thriller
You'd be forgiven for thinking you've seen something like this before, as the Australia-set thrillers have been coming to our screens thick and fast recently (see also The Last Anniversary, The Secrets She Keeps, Apples Never Fall). This one, which had a brief showing on Paramount+ in 2023 but is now on ITV1, stars former Doctor Who lead Jodie Whittaker. Sadly it's so lacklustre that Whittaker might wish that she'd opted to eat kangaroo genitalia on I'm a Celebrity with Ant and Dec instead. Since hanging up her sonic screwdriver, Whittaker has spread her wings in eclectic roles. She played an imprisoned single mother in gut-punch BBC drama Time and was the standout star of Netflix's factual drama Toxic Town. Here she loses her native Yorkshire tones to adopt an Australian accent. I'm no expert in Antipodean linguistics, but she does a decent job. Set on the stunning New South Wales coast, One Night follows three women – Tess (Whittaker), Simone (Nicole da Silva) and Hat (Yael Stone) – who remain haunted by a harrowing event during their teens. Twenty years later, Simone writes a thinly disguised novel about that fateful night. It reopens wounds in cathartic ways. There's the germ of an interesting drama here about trauma and truth, justice and healing. But whenever it looks about to emerge, it gets bogged down in repetitive flashbacks or clichéd contrivances. Supporting characters are uniformly ghastly – either leering small-town gangsters, spoilt kids or self-serving adults. Worst of all, there's a fatal flaw at the heart of the story. Simone stole Tess's tragedy for her own gain, yet we're supposed to sympathise as she makes her friend's pain all about her. Stretched out over six episodes, One Night moves with all the urgency of an asthmatic koala. With its ocean views and high-flying female friends, it's a try-hard Sydney spin on Big Little Lies. Whittaker is rawly convincing as a sexual assault victim whose repressed memories come bubbling to the surface. Tess is a mass of body issues: bulimic, covered in tattoos, prone to pulling her hair out. There's a wordless scene in the finale where Whittaker acts her socks off with facial expressions alone. It's just a shame the script isn't in the same league as her performance. One Night is available now on ITVX and begins on ITV1 on Saturday 16 August at 9.30pm

Kim Kardashian debuts jaw-dropping hair transformation and says 'about time'
Kim Kardashian set social media abuzz Friday with a striking new hair color reveal. The 44-year-old reality star and beauty mogul, long known for her signature raven locks, stunned fans by showing off a fresh platinum shade with subtle dark brown roots. In the snap, Kardashian, who recently flew to Mexico for a surgery, puckered up for the camera, flaunting her ash-blonde tresses while still rocking a pair of crisp white pajamas and finishing touches on her glam. 'About that time,' she captioned the post, sparking immediate reactions from fans and celebrity friends alike. Hairstylist Chris Appleton, who frequently styles the Skims founder, weighed in, calling the look 'the best' and adding a white heart emoji. Even fellow celebrities joined the admiration: former City Girls rapper JT commented, 'Favorite color on you!' alongside a heart-eyes emoji. Kardashian's latest hair change is part of her ongoing style evolution, from platinum blonde to dark chocolate, proving she loves mixing things up. Most recently, the reality star sported a curly blonde bob wig for SKIMS' campaign with Roberto Cavalli. And fans still remember when she caused a social media frenzy last year by going platinum blonde ahead of the 2024 Met Gala. She also famously rocked an icy blonde look in 2022, channeling Marilyn Monroe at the Met Gala in the Hollywood icon's legendary 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' dress. Appleton praised his client as he explained the process of getting Kardashian's look at the time. 'I love a blond Kim. I think it's so interesting how a color can change the colors of the clothes you wear and it really changes your makeup. You can really reinvent things,' he told Page Six. 'We had a fast turnaround because we had to get it done for the Met, but it was lots of conditioning treatments in between each setting and lightening the process, he added. 'My technique really is all about taking very fine sections of hair and lightening the process with just very fine sections back to back.' She also famously rocked an icy blonde look in 2022, channeling Marilyn Monroe at the Met Gala in the Hollywood icon's legendary 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' dress Kim has never shied away from experimenting with her style, fully embracing each new look she tries. She explained to Allure in 2022, 'I'm a totally different person. I'm sassier. I'm more confident as a blonde.' Her blonde transformations clearly give her a boost of energy and confidence, showing how much she enjoys playing with her image. But she also noted, 'As soon as I go back to brunette, I'm a boss,' proving that no matter the color, she owns her signature style.
