Former Miss Universe Jesinta Franklin wows on red carpet
One of Australia's most well known models has shown off her baby bump after annoucing her third pregnancy with AFL legend Lance 'Buddy' Franklin. The 33-year-old announced she was expecting in June this year. Franklin hit the red carpet at the MIFF Opening Night Gala at HOYTS Melbourne Central on Thursday. Franklin wore a floor length strapless dress in a pastel blue for the occasion, cradling her bump as she smiled for the cameras. Her brunette hair was styled in tight curls, and she complemented the simple look with a single silver necklace. It's been two months since the couple's pregnancy announcement, where the Miss Universe Australia 2010 winner cradled her growing baby bump while her children, Tullulah and Rocky danced around her and touched her belly. 'Tullulah and Rocky are getting a baby brother or sister for Christmas. The most beautiful surprise of all @buddy_franklin23,' Franklin captioned the clip. Franklin, formerly known as Jesinta Campbell, also took a moment to recognise that pregnancy announcements can be difficult for some. 'Our hearts are full and yet, we share this news with deep sensitivity. I know that announcements like this can be incredibly hard for those who are walking the path of infertility or loss. My heart is with you, always,' she said. Prior to the birth of their first daughter, Franklin revealed it wasn't an 'easy' road to pregnancy. When she initially announced her first pregnancy on her app, JESINTA, she said: 'The journey to get here hasn't been easy and this little life is the greatest gift and we feel truly blessed and grateful that we will have a little angel of our own. 'We have both dreamt of this for a long time and while the last 2.5 years have been physically and emotionally challenging, there's nothing we would change as it's brought us to this beautiful moment. At the time, she also revealed that she and her husband had been 'trying for years and years' to conceive, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. In a follow-up post to her announcement, she revealed that her pregnancy had been a 'rough time'. 'Sadly I'm not someone who thrives when they are pregnant,' she said. Many — included fellow model Natalie Roser — rushed to congratulate the couple on the news of their third child. 'Beautiful. Congratulations,' Roser said. Meanwhile, comedian Celeste Barber said; 'Now THIS is a pregnancy announcement.' Australian singer and former Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson left a series of hearts on the clip. The couple recently celebrated eight years of marriage, tying the knot in November 2016 before welcoming their first child in February 2020. The pair's love story got off to a rough start. After getting her number from a friend in 2012, Buddy was met with rejection when he texted his now wife out of the blue. 'I was like, 'Um, I'm not dating at the moment. I'm dating my career'. Cringe! Oh my God, I can't believe I said that,' Franklin told Beauticate in 2017. However, he managed to convince her to take a chance and the couple had their first date at Sydney's Crown Hotel Bar.

Matildas star and partner reveal ‘shock' baby gender test news
Matildas star Emily van Egmond and her wife Kat Thompson have revealed 'shock' news about their upcoming baby. The duo have been keeping their followers up to date with their journey after announcing they were expecting in April. Thompson posted a video of the couple on Instagram in June, showing them digging two glasses into a cake as they discovered the baby's gender. Or so they thought. On Thursday, Thompson shared the gender reveal video again and explained that the initial news they had excitedly witnessed was actually wrong. 'Little did they know there was a lab error with their gender test and would go 16 weeks picking a name, buying clothes, and sharing the news before finding out the truth,' a text banner on the video clip read. Thompson further clarified what had unfolded in the caption of her post. 'So our gender reveal was a flop, which was definitely a shock originally, but makes for a good story now!' she wrote. 'So many people ended up seeing our first post with this video and were upset it was black&white, but that's mainly because it was wrong! And we love these moments, but some details we want to keep to ourselves and family. �Strongly advise against any early gender blood tests!' The shock revelation comes after the pair melted hearts online when they announced the heartwarming news that they were expecting. Van Egmond posted two images of the loved-up couple holding up ultrasound pictures of their new family member. The Matildas midfielder had a hand on Kat's stomach as they looked into each other's eyes with the post captioned: 'Baby Van Egmond coming October' alongside a love heart emoji. The post attracted a flood of comments from fellow soccer players over the moon about the announcement. Australian soccer player Lydia Williams wrote: 'So exciting.' Irish soccer star Katie McCabe commented three love heart eyes. The baby announcement came after the two tied the knot in late December 2024 in the Hunter Valley. The pair beamed from ear to ear as they greeted their guests following the ceremony, which took place at a winery in the picturesque Krinklewood Estate. Kat wore a stunning white dress, and van Egmond, 31, wore a black dinner jacket and bow tie for the nuptials.

See inside the new apartments looking over the future Olympic Games
A luxury development with more than a hundred residences is under construction opposite the site of the future Olympic Games, with only a limited supply of units remaining. Oria, an art-deco inspired project, is being made on Gregory Tce in Spring Hill: developed by Keylin, designed by MAS Architecture Studio and built by CoStruct. The 15-storey building features two, three and four-bedroom options, with prices starting at around $1.45 million for the remaining two-bedroom units. Three-bedroom apartments begin at $2.335 million, while a few higher-end offerings sit above the $4 million range. A variety of unique floor plans and styles are available across 132 units. Two-bedroom homes can range between 91 to 110 sqm, with three-bedroom homes reaching 130 to 246 sqm. Keylin Managing Director Louis Cheung said Spring Hill's high demand meant the development needed to cater to a wide range of desires. 'The struggle for many that want to live in the area is a lack of inventory and supply that meets their needs,' he said. 'With Oria, we are addressing these gaps and setting a benchmark for luxury in the area.' Sales lead and Ashwin Property director, Tony Ashwin, said current sales have been from a wide range of demographics. 'Over the last 8 weeks, we've had 1350 inquiries, so demand's been really strong,' he said. 'We've got some younger professional couples, a significant amount of downsizers, and also a significant amount of families.' 'We had a number of investors who came in early, who were aware of all the infrastructure for the Olympics, but ended up making Oria their home.' Each of these residents will be sharing a wide variety of communal features in the development, including a gym, cinema, pool, sauna and private dining areas. Meanwhile, open spaces include a pickleball court and off-leash dog area, accounting for downsizers who may be moving with pets. A display area is available where interested parties can inspect the building's future features, including an interactive 3D model of the rooms, allowing for an in-person digital walk-through. 'They'll be able to experience apartment views, whether it's the city skyline or overlooking Victoria Park, because the visualisations are based on real imagery taken at different storey heights,' Mr Cheung said. With construction already at level five, residents are expected to move in early 2027, five years ahead of the Olympics.
