Son's intuition reveals Aussie Olympic gold medallist's pregnancy
The 38-year-old former snowboarder has two sons with husband Angus Thomson — and she says it was their eldest who first revealed the latest addition.
Bright said they are 'so excited' to become a family of five.
'The boys are hyped and so sweet with their baby growing in my belly!' she wrote.
On Wednesday, Bright said they are not learning the gender until the baby arrives.
'But I'm feeling a third boy,' she said.
The dual Olympic halfpipe medallist also shared that son Flow 'knew I was pregnant before I actually was'.
'A whole month before I conceived, he was telling people I had a baby in my belly,' Bright wrote.
'Maybe he already knows who this little soul is.'

Bright said younger son Halo has also connected with the baby.
'Every night, Halo falls asleep holding my belly — and every morning, he wakes up and kisses it,' she said.
'Our hearts are expanding, and so is our family. So deeply grateful for this growing love. #PregnancyMagic #IntuitiveKids.'
Bright made headlines in 2021 when she uploaded a photo of her breastfeeding baby Flow while performing a handstand to celebrate her first Mother's Day.
'Becoming a mother has unleashed something inside of me,' she wrote in the caption.
'It's deeply spiritual. It's primal. It's raw. it's fierce. It is pure.'
The post immediately went viral, prompting Bright to address the negative reaction in a video. Bright shared an Instagram story clarifying the post. Credit: Instagram
She said it was 'just a little bit of pure fun' and 'celebrating the bond between mother and child'.
She also said she could 'understand how it's not everyone's taste' but lamented the judgement.
'Mothers, we need to encourage each other,' she said in the Instagram video.
'We need to lift each other up. We need to pay each other compliments.
'We need to support each other. We need to be each other's biggest cheerleaders because motherhood is so beautiful, but the reality is we are the only ones who know just how hard those hard moments are.
'And we need to have each other's back. Not compare each other and judge each other, because we all do think so differently. That's why it's so beautiful.'
She finished the video by asking: 'But did anyone really think that's how I breastfed?'

'Michael Jackson of Gambling': An Aussie social media influencer goes viral for his gambling addiction
A young Australian influencer is gaining viral fame for his gambling habits as experts warn his online content could have a powerful impact on his growing audience. Luca Kante has built a large online by sharing videos of his daily wins at pokie machines, with his content regularly showing stacks of cash and jackpot celebrations. The gambler has become a fixture on social media feeds where fans praise his apparent luck and skill. The full-time gambler and content creator is quickly becoming a recognisable figure among young Australians. His flashy videos draw thousands of views and followers often leave comments hailing him as 'King' and calling him the 'Michael Jackson of Gambling.' Fans particularly praise his gambling success, writing comments like 'Pokies hate to see him coming' and 'Bro is just too good at gambling.' Others ask him for tips, with one user saying, 'I wish I had 1% of this power.' This kind of adoration highlights the growing impact Kante has, particularly on younger audiences. One in three Australians aged 12 to 17 have engaged in some form of gambling, raising concerns that influencers like Kante may be encouraging risky behaviour through their content. These influencer videos often show Kante betting large amounts and celebrating wins, with little mention of losses or the risks involved. Gambling experts worry this glamorised version of gambling could normalise addictive behaviours and mislead viewers into believing that gambling is an easy way to make money. As Kante's popularity grows, questions are also being raised about how much influence a single social media gambler can have and what the long-term impact could be for his followers.

Jamie Lee Curtis tearfully praises Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson
Jamie Lee Curtis has tearfully praised the relationship between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. The Naked Gun stars are rumoured to have become romantically involved after meeting on the set of the film, and the Freakier Friday star has called for people to stop speculating about the pair but to just feel happy if they have found love with one another. She told VT in a clip shared to TikTok: 'With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found [its] way into that relationship - God bless them both - leave them the f*** alone. Let them like each other. 'Both of them have had hardship, and they're both beautiful human beings - makes me cry." She grew tearful as she added: "If they actually have found an intimate love with each other, we should all go to bed tonight feeling better.' Jamie thinks her Last Showgirl co-star and Liam - whose wife Natasha Richardson died in a skiing accident in 2009 - both deserve happiness. She said: 'She's a beautiful person. She was fantastic [in the movie], but she's a beautiful human being. 'He also suffered an unimaginable loss so young, and has had a really hard go of it. "So if, in fact, these people have hard launched, then wish them the best and leave them alone.' The Freakier Friday star's comments come after 73-year-old Liam's son Daniel expressed his approval over his dad's new relationship. The 28 year old was in the audience when the pair appeared on Watch What Happens Live over the weekend. Host Andy Cohen told the couple: 'The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you, but I do just want to say, as a very old friend of [Liam's], all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say." As Liam put his hand on Pamela's shoulder and she reached to squeeze it, Andy then asked Daniel, who was sitting in the audience: "Right Danny?" Daniel replied: "Yes." On Friday (01.08.25), Pamela shared a series of photos of herself and Liam on Instagram along with the caption: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! "I'll see you there [white heart and popcorn emojis] (sic)" And Daniel commented with a string of emojis including hands up, fire, and white hearts. Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, also commented on the post with a string of red heart emojis. Liam - who has Micheal, 30, and Daniel with his late wife - previously confessed to being 'madly in love' with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. He told People magazine: 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.'

Migraine misery ails one in three Australian women
Kate May experienced years of severe pain, fatigue, nausea and other debilitating symptoms before receiving a migraine diagnosis. "Two years ago, I was struggling to walk," the 30-year-old told AAP. "I was in hospital a lot, just being able to make enough money to pay bills was nearly impossible." Ms May described her diagnosis as life-changing and now works toward doing what she loves, such as playing sport. A survey reveals one in three Australian women live with migraine, the leading cause of disability for women aged 18-49. The data was collected by health organisation Jean Hailes for Women's Health, in partnership with Migraine and Headache Australia. It is the first to provide an analysis of the rate of Australian women experiencing migraines, and reveals the condition as one of the top contributors to the health gap facing women. Migraine is a common brain condition that causes moderate to severe attacks, with symptoms including sensitivity to light, smell or noise. Ms May was diagnosed with chronic migraine, a subtype of the condition that causes at least 15 attacks per month. Her symptoms meant she struggled to work or continue her hobbies as a keen swimmer and traveller. But her diagnosis two years ago helped her regain control of her life. "It's slow progress, but it's definitely a huge progress," she said. "I wouldn't be where I was today without that diagnosis and access to care." More than half of women surveyed reported significant impacts from migraine in their work, physical health and mental health. Jean Hailes chief executive Sarah White said women are at least twice as likely as men to experience migraine and the condition hits hardest in their thirties, right when they are building their careers, families and futures. "The cost of days lost to pain is immense for individual women, which has broader consequences on society," she said. Less than half of women told the survey they had a positive experience seeking a migraine diagnosis, while most received a diagnosis in less than two years. Many reported challenges once diagnosed in finding treatment that worked for them. Migraine research, funding and support lag far behind other health conditions and more must be done for affected women, Migraine and Headache Australia chief Carl Cincinnato said.
