Laura Byrne rages as husband Matty 'J' Johnson accidentally reveals the name their unborn baby girl
The media personality's wife Laura Byrne was doing an 'ask me anything' questionnaire on her Instagram story when one of her followers brought up the moment, which she was seemingly unaware of.
'Did you punch Matt in the ovaries for revealing [your] baby name on Two Doting Dads?' the question read.
Laura was clearly caught off-guard as she replied: 'He did f***ing what?!'
Later on, the business owner, 39, brought up the blunder with her husband, 37, as they lay in bed together.

'Matt I have a question for you: did you say the girl's name, the baby's name, on the podcast?' she asked him in a clip posted to her Instagram story.
He looked at his partner confused as he denied the accusation.
'I think you might have,' she told him, cheekily.
'I would never, never. Never would I say that,' he said defensively as the couple both broke out into giggles.
Laura told the camera: 'People always ask us, "how do you know the limits when you're telling stories and stuff on the podcast?" and normally we're pretty good... Normally.'
Matty began to pipe up as he sported a giant smile on his face, clearly telling a fib.
'Whoever is spreading this false information, shame on you, because that's not true at all,' he said.
While Matty may have mentioned the little girl's name, it seems it was edited out of the podcast as it could later no longer be found.
The couple, who met while filming The Bachelor Australia, already share little girls Marlie and Lola, and are expecting their third in October.
In April, Laura announced the exciting news on her podcast, Life Uncut, which she co- hosts with fellow reality star Brittany Hockley.
'It turns out, we're having baby number three!' she declared.
'I'm pregnant guys!'
Laura revealed she was 18 weeks pregnant, two weeks short of the half-way mark.
'It is a Christmas miracle. We had a really small window. I have known for a very long time.
'I found out very early on in this pregnancy, not because I had any symptoms but because my friend made a comment that made me do a pregnancy test,' she explained.
Laura explained she took a pregnancy test while Matty was filming I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa but did not tell him the news until she was two and a half months pregnant.
'I wasn't able to tell Matt for ages. The whole time he was in the jungle, I wasn't able to tell him and then it was really tricky because I didn't want to tell him when it was the finale,' she explained.
'I didn't want to tell him as soon as the show, because I don't know if you guys remember, but the show wasn't filmed live this year, so we did the finale over there.'
Matt also made an announcement on his Two Doting Dads podcast, telling listeners: '[It's] an October baby.
'We were trying before I went into the jungle. The plan was, we said this year 2025, if we were going to have a third, this will be the year that it happens.
'I'm conscious that Marlie and Lola are really close together, they're about 18 months [apart] and Lola just turned four, so I was like if it doesn't happen this year, it's a big gap… We want the third child to still be friends with Marlie and Lola.'

Full moon horoscopes: 'Big feelings' are set to be unleashed on August 9
Australians are being warned to brace for emotional fireworks this week as August's full moon in Aquarius rolls in - bringing with it rebellion, sudden realisations and a push for personal freedom. According to intuitive astrologer and spiritualist Rose Smith of Absolute Soul Secrets, the lunar event on August 9 will be supercharged by Aquarius' ruling planet, Uranus - famous for its unpredictable and electric energy. 'We can expect bottled-up feelings to surface, leading to overreactions and, in some cases, impulsive or inappropriate behaviour,' Ms Smith told the Daily Mail. Aquarius, symbolised by the Water Bearer, is an air sign often seen as emotionally detached on the outside but feels deeply beneath the surface. Ms Smith said this full moon could bring that hidden intensity to a tipping point - particularly for those with strong placements in Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio. Expect the unexpected Uranus' influence could trigger both literal and symbolic storms - from lightning strikes and electrical glitches to sudden emotional flashpoints. 'Sudden realisations or emotional outbursts could surface without warning,' Ms Smith said. 'Expect the unexpected - in your environment and your relationships.' Aquarians are usually slow-burning romantics, preferring connections built over time. But under this moon, even they may feel uncharacteristically intense about love and personal connections. 'This lunar energy invites us to move beyond emotional suppression, embrace authenticity, and reclaim personal freedom,' Ms Smith said. 'It's a time to think clearly, feel deeply, and initiate meaningful change.' What is the Sturgeon Moon? Traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon - named for the abundance of the fish in North American waters - the August full moon is tied to emotional reflection and ancestral roots. 'When combined with Aquarian rebellion, it urges us to challenge outdated emotional systems and create new ways of being,' Ms Smith said. She added it's an opportunity to 'clear emotional clutter' and make space for fresh perspectives. The Sturgeon Moon will reach its peak at 5:55pm AEST on August 9. A cosmic triple-act: Perseids, Lion's Gate and Mercury retrograde The energetic charge won't stop with the full moon. Just days later, the Perseid Meteor Shower peaks between August 12 and 13, adding what Ms Smith calls 'masculine energy' to the full moon's feminine pull - a mix that could stir relationship tensions or power struggles. The meteors, named after the Greek hero Perseus, also symbolically nod to the story of Medusa, which Ms Smith says represents 'suppressed feminine power rising for acknowledgement and justice.' Meanwhile, the Lion's Gate portal - an alignment between the Sun in Leo and the star Sirius - opens on August 8, bringing a boost to personal growth and inner strength. The Perseids will be visible in Australia under dark skies, especially before dawn, by looking towards the northern horizon. And with Mercury retrograde lingering until August 11, communication and travel could be rocky, so she advises treading carefully. Aries (March 21 to April 19) The Full Moon is lighting up your social life, and with Pluto in the mix, things could get intense. This isn't just about mates and messages; it's about who you really connect with on a deeper level. Some friendships might feel like they're shifting or even fading, and that's okay. You're evolving, and your circle needs to evolve with you. If you've been feeling out of sync with certain people, it could all come to a head. Don't force what's not flowing. Instead, focus on the connections that feel genuine - the ones where you can fully be yourself. Let go of the past and open up to new friendships that reflect who you're becoming. Taurus (April 20 to May 20) Now your career, reputation, and long-term goals are spotlighted, and with Pluto's presence, something big could be shifting. Maybe it's time to let go of an old role, routine or ambition that no longer fits. If things feel intense at work or you're questioning your direction, don't panic! You're just being pointed toward something more meaningful. Take time to reflect on what success really looks like for you, not just what's expected. This is a powerful moment to find your purpose and set a more authentic path forward. Maybe it's a job change, a pivot in your public image, or simply reclaiming your own goals. Trust that something deeper is unfolding. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) This Full Moon lights up your zone of travel, higher learning, and big-picture thinking, and you might find yourself seriously rethinking your beliefs, goals or even your life philosophy. Something you've held onto for a long time might not resonate anymore, and that can feel both weird and freeing. It could be a shift in your worldview, a spiritual insight, or the urge to explore something new (literally or mentally). You could be called to let go of limiting ideas or outdated perspectives that have been holding you back. It's a powerful time now to seek knowledge, expand horizons and trust the unknown. A trip, course, or conversation could be the catalyst for a major mindset reset. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) Some deep feelings could rise to the surface of your mind now, especially around trust, shared finances or emotional ties. It's unlikely to be light and fluffy. You may be facing a power imbalance in a close relationship or feeling ready to release something you've been carrying for too long. Maybe it's money, control or unspoken fears, but something's asking to be cleared out and transformed. Don't stuff it down - feel it, face it and then let it go. This is deep-clean energy for your emotional world. You might also find yourself drawn inward, needing space or privacy. Your intuition's in overdrive, and it'll guide you to what's ready to shift. Let go of what drains you and open up to deeper trust - with yourself and others. Leo (July 23 to August 22) This Full Moon lands in your relationship zone, and with Pluto sitting right there, things could get real. You might be seeing the truth about a partnership, whether romantic, professional or platonic. Something may be shifting, ending or deepening. Either way, it's about honesty. If you've been avoiding a difficult conversation or ignoring red flags, this lunation could push things to the surface. But it's not all doom and gloom - it's also a powerful moment to create deeper intimacy, or break ties with the past. You're not here for halfhearted commitments. This is about the real stuff - shared effort, emotional honesty and mutual growth. Choose connections that feel empowering, not draining. Virgo (August 23 to September 22) This Full Moon is spotlighting your daily habits, and it's asking for a serious shake-up. You might be noticing what's no longer working when it comes to your work, health or routines. Maybe something's become too heavy, draining or simply outdated. This isn't about adding more to your to-do list. It's about cutting what's not serving you anymore. It could be a job, a habit, or a mindset. However, now it's time to simplify, cleanse and upgrade how you care for your body, time and energy. Pay attention to stress signals because your system might be craving real rest and balance. This is a chance to get serious about what supports you daily, not just occasionally. Libra (September 23 to October 22) This Full Moon is highlighting your self-expression, creativity and romantic life, and Pluto's presence adds emotional depth (and possibly drama). You might feel extra exposed, or like something in your love life or creative world is ready to shift, evolve or end. If you've been pretending everything's fine when it's not, it could be called out now. It's a great time to drop the performance and speak from the heart. You don't have to impress anyone - just be your real self. It could be love, art or joy itself, but whatever it is that feels blocked, it's on the move. But first, you must stop hiding what you truly want. It is time to be vulnerable and honest with yourself. Scorpio (October 23 to November 21) This Full Moon touches down in your home and family zone, and Pluto, your modern ruler, is right in the mix. That makes this deeply personal. Old emotional patterns, family dynamics or even physical living situations could come to a head. You might feel the urge to change where (or how) you live, or finally deal with something that's been simmering under the surface. It's a powerful time for emotional clearing and claiming your space. Whatever needs to shift now is about building a foundation that supports who you're becoming - not just who you've been. You could also look back in your ancestry and uncover deep emotional issues. Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21) Now your communication zone is activated, and your words pack more power than usual. Conversations, texts, or even passing comments could hold way more emotional charge than expected. You might find yourself speaking your truth - or hearing someone else's - in a way that changes how you see things. Don't be afraid of uncomfortable topics. This Full Moon wants honesty, even if it's awkward. It's also a good time to clear out old mindsets or inner narratives that have been dragging you down. Your thoughts create your reality - so make sure they're actually yours. Learning and local community activities might also be on your mind now. Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19) This Full Moon lands in your values and money zone, but thanks to Pluto, it's not just about your bank account. You might be re-evaluating what really makes you feel secure. Is it money, status, control - or something deeper? If financial tension comes up, take it as a signal to restructure something. There's power in clarity. You could also find yourself questioning old ideas around self-worth. Are you undervaluing yourself or holding on to outdated survival strategies? Now you are being assisted to shed what no longer serves you. You can soon rebuild from a stronger, more authentic foundation. This time is a great investment for long-term growth. Aquarius (January 20th to February 18) This Full Moon is in your sign, and with Pluto sitting nearby, you're feeling it deeply. Something about how you see yourself or how others see you is shifting. Maybe you're letting go of an old identity or stepping into a version of yourself that feels more real. You could even change your appearance - think new hair, new clothes! Whatever's surfacing, it's big. And it's not just a mood - it's a transformation. The key is to stay grounded in your truth, even if other people don't quite get it yet. Change like this doesn't ask for permission. It just arrives. So, meet it with courage and care. You can do it - so go on, give it a crack! Your new identity is just around the corner. Pisces (February 19 to March 20) This Full Moon falls in your 12th house - the most mysterious and private part of your chart. With Pluto conjunct the Moon here, a deep emotional layer is surfacing for healing. You might feel extra sensitive, nostalgic or even spaced out. It's not a time for overdoing. Rest. Reflect. Let go of what no longer serves. You could find yourself releasing something from the past - a regret, a habit or an old dream. Then, make space for what's next. Your intuition is strong now. Trust it. What ends quietly now opens a powerful door later. Pay attention to your dreams and practice meditation because the answers are there if you can tune into yourself.

‘Proud to call this woman my mother': artist wins National Indigenous fashion award for tribute to daughter Barkaa
When Cleonie Quayle's daughter became addicted to ice and was incarcerated, her grandchildren were placed in her care and she had to stop full-time work. 'I had to rethink my life,' she said. 'I've always made things, and I thought, 'Oh, well, I'll make jewellery.'' She started selling earrings at markets and eventually developed her own business. On Wednesday evening, the Malyangapa Barkindji woman won a National Indigenous fashion award (Nifa) for her first piece of clothing: a dress made from hundreds of gold-tipped jacaranda seed pods, inspired by the resilience and recovery journey of her daughter, Chloe – AKA rapper Barkaa. Quayle was one of many First Nations artists and designers celebrated as part of the awards, across seven categories including fashion, traditional adornment and textile design. Quayle won this year's wearable art award, with a $5,000 cash prize. Accepting the award with her daughter by her side, in a ceremony at Darwin's Deckchair cinema, Quayle was moved to tears – and then laughter. 'I'm really blessed to have such an amazing model to work with,' she said. Quayle's dress, which she estimated took three months of work – including gathering seed pods with her daughter from streets and car parks in western Sydney – was originally made for Barkaa's video clip We Up, an anthem of female empowerment. The night before the Nifa ceremony, the rapper wore a different version of her mum's piece – a top – while performing her hit King Brown on the runway of Darwin Aboriginal art fair's First Nations fashion showcase, Country to Couture. Quayle watched proudly from the front row. Sign up for our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Quayle said the jacaranda seed pod was chosen as a symbol of her daughter's journey. Incarcerated in Emu Plains correctional centre while she was pregnant, Chloe hoped to be admitted to a centre for mothers and babies called Jacaranda Cottage, but was denied; instead, Quayle took care of her grandson while her daughter was in custody. 'Chloe decided there and then that she wasn't going to go back to that life. She was going to be with her babies,' Quayle said in a prerecorded video played at the ceremony. 'So that's the symbolicness of the dress: it's jacaranda for Jacaranda Cottage, and it's gold, you know, to be about her empowerment. The blackness coz we're blackfellas.' Speaking to Guardian Australia after the ceremony, Barkaa said: 'I'm so proud to call this woman my mother. The reason why I got clean, and the reason why I found recovery and the reason why I believed in myself and thought I could create my own business, was because of my mother. 'She's won law awards and worked in law and family and criminology, but it's beautiful to see her come back to what she loves, and something that she puts her whole heart into and that makes her happy.' The Nifas, run by Indigenous Fashion Projects in conjunction with the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair, are now in their sixth year. Clair Helen Parker, winner of this year's fashion designer award, said it was a timely boost of confidence after more than a decade of hard work. 'Sometimes you're doing it for so long and you just feel like, 'Am I going anywhere?' Those self-doubt thoughts that come through. And so winning this award just kind of gave me that push and said, 'Oh, you are doing the right thing.'' Since graduating from Whitehouse Institute of Design in Sydney in 2016 as its first Aboriginal female graduate, the Tiwi woman has created gowns for the Logies and Oscars red carpets, presented collections at Australian fashion week, and in 2024 created her first online capsule. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion She did most of it alone, a one-woman operation. 'I do everything – I reply to all the emails, I pack everything, I do it all,' Parker said. 'Sometimes I almost felt like giving up, and now I'm going to put my award on the wall in front of my sewing [machine] and it's just gonna drive my motivation.' Parker draws design inspiration from Larrakia country (Darwin), where she was raised. 'When we had sad times, we'd always go out into the bush and spend time with family, and that would give us a lot – I guess it would help our mental health,' she said. 'So I kind of want to emulate that in my designs.'

It's 30°C This Weekend – This Is The Heatwave-Proof Uniqlo Dress I'm Reaching For
@@tonediscoveries via TikTok and @ Rogue August showers may have led you to believe that summer is nearing its end, but the UK weather has a few surprises in store. In fact, the weather apps are now predicting a heatwave over the weekend. Good news, if like me, you were looking for a reason to snap up another breezy frock. While there's plenty out there worth considering, none have caught our eye quite like Uniqlo's Gathered Mini Dress, and if Instagram is any indication, the style set agrees. Made from lightweight cotton to keep you cool once temperatures skyrocket to the late twenties, the mini dress is also incredibly affordable, meaning you won't regret only getting a few wears out of it before the September chill (until next summer, of course). So what is it about the dress that's us charmed? Well, to start with, the silhouette. Designed with an elegantly gathered bodice that cinches the waistline, it bears a striking resemblance to some of Dôen's whimsical frocks, namely the viral Ischia dress, minus the signature, extravagant puffed sleeves. Its fit and flare shape is also flattering across a range of body types, with sizes XXS through XL available to buy. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Olive Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) If you're looking for something lightweight that will see you through the stifling heatwave, consider this cotton Uniqlo mini dress. Fashion insiders have taken a liking to the olive green version. Of course, as with any Uniqlo staple, the brilliance of the dress doesn't end there. It comes in a conveyor belt of colours and patterns to cater to every mood. The classic black iteration is ideal if you're looking for something a little more traditional and chic, while the mossy olive is an excellent option if you want to inject a touch of (muted) colour into your wardrobe. Meanwhile, the ditsy floral versions have become a big hit among well-dressed women and are, surprisingly, still in stock in all sizes. Oh, and did I mention it comes with pockets (!)? Plenty of stylish dressers have worn the Uniqlo dress on its own with western and biker style boots. For a touch of boyish charm, retro style trainers are your best bet, and for a pop of colour, choose Adidas Gazelles in either pink or blue. We've also seen plenty of fashionable people wearing mini dresses like this one as blouses, layered on top of wide-leg jeans and trousers. For casual outings, sling a best-selling Uniqlo Round bag across your body, or for an elevated touch, opt for a designer-inspired tote bag such as the Ellyla Woven Leather Hobo Bag. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Light Blue Ditsy Print Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) The darling ditsy version of the Uniqlo is simply pretty, and is available in two colours, including this light blue iteration. 3. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Off White Ditsy Print Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) The off white version is equally as charming. 4. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Black Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) For a chic put together look, consider the black shade, which can be dressed up or down depending on your mood.
