Jeff Fenech breaks silence on his daughter's big baby announcement with NRL star Bradman Best - after saying he didn't want her to date a footy player
Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech has spoken of his pride after his daughter Kayla announced she and NRL star Bradman Best were expecting a baby. The former IBF and WBC title holder had previously stated that he didn't want his daughter to date a rugby league player but has now changed his tune after meeting the Newcastle Knights star. Kayla and Best announced that they were expecting a baby in 2026 on Instagram last week. 'Baby Best due in January 2026. We can't wait,' Kayla wrote on the social media platform. But despite his earlier comments, Fenech has now spoken of his delight at the news. 'They are so happy,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 'And I'm so proud of both of them. Whether it's a boy or a girl, the baby is going to have some great genes. 'And they'll be great parents. You know how much I love Kayla and Bradman is a great fella who will make a great dad.' Fenech said he went 'apes***' when he found out his daughter was dating a footy player. 'I'd always warned my girls about going out with league players,' he had previously said. He added: 'So when she rang and told me, I went off the deep end. I gave her a roasting. She kept trying to say, "Dad, he's a lovely guy". Kayla was telling me every day how nice he was.' But it his opinion has changed since meeting Best, with Fenech, one of the country's greatest fighters, now also having gone down to the gym to train with the footy star. 'Bradman knew I was angry, but he told Kayla, "I'll prove your dad wrong" - and he has,' Fenech added. Kayla has over 200,000 followers on Instagram and works as a business development manager for Ray White. He added that he was 'so proud' of the pair having also previously revealed that he and Best had gone down to the gym to train together After announcing the big news on Instagram last week, the pair received a heartfelt reception from many of their close friends and family. Her mother, Suzee, wrote in the comments: 'Omg I'm so proud of you both, can't wait to meet my gorgeous little bubba. 'Super excited to be on this next chapter/journey with you both. Luv u both.' Jeff has also previously sung Best's praises and lifted the lid on how their training went. 'Maybe he was trying to impress his future father-in-law,' Fenech said. He was very impressive when we trained. 'When we first met, you could tell he was a good young man. He's treating Kayla beautifully. Like a gentleman. They're very happy. And so is my wife Suzee and I. 'The only time I got dirty is when he scored two tries against my Parramatta side last weekend and beat us.'

James Packer's ex-wife Erica and MasterChef star Shannon Bennett call it quits after 18 months of dating: 'Was always going to be a challenge'
Erica Packer and Shannon Bennett have split after 18 months together. The former singer, 47, and celebrity chef, 49, are said to have parted ways earlier this year, with friends revealing that distance was a big factor in their breakup, according to Erica, who is the ex-wife of billionaire James Packer, currently resides in London after relocating with her three children to be near her sister. However, occasional MasterChef judge Shannon lives in Belongil Beach near Byron Bay, with his business Culinary Wonderland being based in Sydney. 'The distance was always going to be a challenge for them,' a friend of the couple told the publication. 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. Shannon had previously opened up about navigating their long-distance relationship. He revealed last year that his girlfriend was doing a lot of travelling to make things work between them. 'She's really good. (Erica is) going back and forwards a lot,' he told the Herald Sun. He went on: 'It's a fun and amazing adventure. It's amazing we haven't met earlier. We're loving life. 'I'm a very lucky man'. In April last year, Sunday Confidential reported that the couple had bought a house together just months after they first went public as a couple. The publication claimed the pair were 'going strong' and had decided to expand after living in Shannon's $2million beachfront property at Belongil Beach. Between them, the lovebirds share nine children, with Shannon sharing Phoenix, Hendrix, Xascha, Xanthe, Xahlia and Margaux with ex partner Madeleine West. Meanwhile, Erica co- parents children Indigo, Jackson and Emmanuelle with ex-husband James. Shannon and Erica were first spotted out and about together in 2023 over the Christmas holidays. Erica married former husband James in 2007 and they later split in 2013, but are on good terms as they co- parent their three children. Erica reportedly received a $100 million divorce payment, and purchased a family home in Los Angeles shortly after the break-up. In contrast, Shannon's relationship with ex-partner Madeleine West is not as amicable. Shannon, who rose to fame on MasterChef Australia, split from Madeleine in September 2018 after 13 years of dating. Madeleine later stated the separation process 'turned love toxic'.

On Saturday, the 28-year-old marketing manager was spotted getting up close and personal with tattooed TikTok heartthrob Tyson Fievez during a wild night out in Melbourne and fans can't stop talking about it Speaking to Daily Mail Australia after their surprise reunion, Tyson finally broke his silence on why he bailed on their original meeting during filming - and it seems there are no hard feelings between them. 'She's an amazing chick, with a bubbly energy! Definitely a vibe to be around,' Tyson gushed. 'Honestly I had no bad intentions standing her up first time round. Just didn't wanna intrude on her previous marriage with David,' he explained. 'Guess you'll have too wait and see if romance develops!' he added with a wink. Fans were quick to flood social media with support for the unlikely duo, with many now shipping them as a post-show couple. 'They actually look so cute together,' one person commented. 'She dodged a bullet with Dave – this is the match we were robbed of!' another declared. Jamie was left visibly disappointed on-air after being ghosted during the 'most f**ked up challenge' of the season, as she waited alone at a Sydney restaurant with a glass of white wine. The popular bride was left humiliated after she bravely agreed to meet her alternative match - only to be left hanging when her 'Plan B' ghosted her at the last second. In a light-hearted yet emotional moment, Jamie told producers: 'I'm a nosey b***h, I love to know these things… So curious!' 'I had more than one match? I'm actually surprised there was one match. Now, there's more? I'm unmatchable!' Later that evening, when her TV husband Dave returned, Jamie confessed she had accepted the challenge - only to be stood up 'for the first time ever'. Dave, who had declined his own offer to meet a potential second match, was surprisingly supportive. 'We're in a marriage here. I trust her… but I'm glad she got stood up,' he laughed in a vox pop.
