Mummy blogger Constance Hall reveals the 'extremely low' amount she got from the sale of her marital home with estranged husband
Famed blogger Constance Hall has finally found a buyer for her bushland property in Western Australia 's Margaret River. First listed for $1.3 million by the social media star in April, the six-bedroom, two-bathroom multi-level pad is now 'under offer' ahead of the final settlement. Located in a forest 271km from Perth, it features a herb garden and jacuzzi bath. Known as a 'mummy blogger', the 41-year-old mother of seven children moved out of the home after her partner Denim was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 2020. On Thursday, the Courier-Mail reported that no details of the sale - including the final price - have been released. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. However, Constance has been outspoken about her experience of selling the property, revealing that she was presented with 'extremely low' offers ahead of the final sale. Taking to her Facebook on Wednesday, Constance announced triumphantly, 'My beautiful home has sold, you guys, it settles in a month.' 'That was more stressful than I thought it would be, between extremely low cash offers from very very rich well known families to people's finance falling through,' she gushed. Elsewhere in the share Constance said, 'So, opening my home every week for the local public to judge hasn't been amazing.' She also said that while the house languished on the market for four months she feared that the 'right buyer would never come.' Constance moved out of the home after her partner Denim was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 2020. The family relocated to Perth so that Constance's mother could help look after her children, The West Australian reported. 'The house is breathtaking and that never wore off,' she told the publication. 'You feel it every single day. I've had to get used to different stress levels while living in Perth because I don't have that forest to unwind in every day. 'People don't realise the impact clean air and a huge tree have on them, but you notice it retrospectively when it's gone.' Surrounded by large gum trees, the original three-bedroom abode was constructed in 2008. Major renovations added three more bedrooms in 2018. Highlights include oversized timber ceilings and an expansive entertainment deck. Meanwhile, the main bedroom features a private balcony that offers a stunning view of the surrounding forest. The outdoor setting also has a shower, water feature and a timber pergola. The unique interior styling includes a wall mural and elaborate decorative tiling throughout. Constance and Denim, who met in 2017, 'married' and had their son Raja in 2018. The controversial mummy blogger explained up until recently, she was still legally married to her first husband, British carpenter Bill Mahon, because she couldn't cope with the red tape involved with getting a divorce, hence she and Denim are not legally married at this time.

The Only Denim I'll Wear In Summer Comes From GapStudio
Ever since Zac Posen joined the Gap Inc. fold and debuted GapStudio this spring, we haven't been able to take our eyes off the elevated designs — or the celebrities wearing custom looks (hi, Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo, and Reneé Rapp). With serious star power backing the New York atelier, I was curious to see what the new summer collection — modeled by Lila Moss — looked like in real life. The brand's already-iconic Draped Denim promises a 'liquid-soft' texture that's 'made to move with you,' so I had to put it to the test. As a denim fanatic, I have my go-to comfy picks — mostly stretchy and baggy styles — but I typically avoid the fabric in the summer. Too hot, too suffocating. That is, until now. GapStudio's denim has completely changed my perspective with its incredibly lightweight, soft, and flowy feel — so much so that I'm pretty sure I could sleep in it. Ahead, my honest review of GapStudio's new drop, including the best buys from its denim, dresses, and more.

The Who set to 'come out of retirement and do an Elton John' after final gig
EXCLUSIVE: The Who were previously left in turmoil after drummer Zak Starkey left the band but they've been tipped to continue touring The Who won't retire and are set to follow in the footsteps of Elton John with one pal saying: 'It's not the end.' The rockers previously told how they are retiring from touring following 60 years together after a final set of dates in North America. The tour, which begins in August, will be a farewell to live shows for the legendary rock band, with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey performing hits from their six-decade career. But Journalist Will Hodgkinson, a close pal of the band, regularly hosts press conferences for them after penning The Ballad of Britain about The Who and other bands' cultural significance in shaping British musical identity, said: 'I think they might do what Elton John has done. Elton has done the Palladium for a special. 'I can see them doing something like that. I think it's got too much for them being on tour. But I don't think it will be the end.' Elton announced that he was quitting music with his final epic Goodbye Yellow Brick Road tour. But he has since returned with a special date at The Palladium in London. The Who were recently left in turmoil after drummer Zak Starkey left the band. But Will says they will 'cope fine' without him. He continued: 'The Zak Starkey thing was odd. I guess they fell out. I guess that's what happened. They had an argument. But Zak didn't talk about it at all when I saw him a few weeks ago. I think they will cope fine.' He added: 'I don't know who it will be or if indeed they've already got someone.' Will's latest book titled Street Level Superstar is about failed pop star Lawrence who he spent a year shadowing in a bid to uncover a true 'uncompromising' artist. Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, Pete Townsend and Noel Gallagher are all fans of the little known star who fronted 1990s band Denim. The book won the prestigious Penderyn Music Book prize last year and has become a cult classic (MUST) while Denim's nearly famous record Summer Smash is being re-released. Will said: 'I think it took off because failure is more interesting than success. I was very reticent. But I really enjoyed it. I thought creatively this could be really good. This is somebody who is at odds with the world. He looks like a superstar but there he is with no money whatsoever getting shouted at by kids at the bus stop, mistaken for an old lady by an old man outside the pub. I thought this was amazing. When he walks down the street he thinks he is Prince.' The Who's Townsend even said he wants to be like Lawrence - a former heroin addict - because he's such an 'uncompromising' artist.

This Brand Just Made Summer Dressing Feel Interesting Again
Summer dressing arrives suspiciously early these days. When we're still encased in shearling and mainlining oat-milk flat whites like it's a personality trait, shop floors quietly start swapping out knits for kaftans. By the time the mercury finally rises, our appetite for linen-blend anything is already waning. Those wide-leg trousers we optimistically bought back in March? Practically worn out from the mere fact of their presence in our wardrobes. And last year's sandals? One glance makes you question the ROI of a seasonal pedicure. This is what happens when summer hits a little too soon - and a little too hard. We anticipate it so feverishly that, by the time the sun actually turns up, our wardrobes are already in need of a reset. Thank goodness, then, for Whistles. Yes, Whistles. The quietly confident label that's been doing understated elegance since before we had names for things like 'quiet luxury'. Its latest summer collection doesn't shout. It doesn't even whisper. It simply is, and therein lies its power. There are denim co-ords (a phrase we didn't think we'd be writing with any conviction this season) that toe the line between 'festival-ready' and 'dinner-with-parents-of-your-new-crush'. Shirred blouses and relaxed dresses don't lean into that performative 'holiday wardrobe' energy, instead they look like they belong wherever you happen to be, whether that's Lisbon or Lewisham. The accessories - fringed suede jackets, studded leather ballet pumps, a crochet bag that's somehow not remotely whimsical - feel pleasingly adult. This is summer dressing with longevity, pieces that transcend trend cycles and withstand the inevitable onslaught of 'Core' aesthetics. They work hard without making it look like you're trying which, let's be honest, is the endgame. Shop the edit below and maybe, just maybe, summer might feel fresh again. 1.
