Whitney Port has a 'complex relationship with body image'
The Hills star, 40, has opened up about her body image issues in a candid question and answer sessions with fans on Instagram and she admitted she doesn't want her social media posts to influence youngsters who may be struggling with similar problems.
One of her followers asked: "Do you think your body glorifies an unhealthy body image for girls?" and Whitney replied: "I totally understand this question, and I appreciate you asking it with care.
"I know I'm thin - it's how my body has mostly always been - but that doesn't mean I don't have my own complex relationship with food and body image.
"I continue to work with a nutritionist to help support a healthy relationship with eating and my body, and that journey is ongoing.
"I never want my appearance to make anyone feel like they need to look a certain way - especially young kids."
She went on to add: "I share my life as honestly as I can, but I also recognize how powerful images can be.
"Health and beauty come in so many different forms, and i try to be mindful of that in what I put out into the world.
"I'm always open to learning and doing better, especially as a mom to a son who's growing up in this same world."
Another fan asked Whitney how she is dealing with changes to her appearance as she's "getting older" and the TV star replied: "Physically, it's been a challenge to look at myself and not judge or expect things to look the way they used to.
"I started noticing the biggest changes around 38, especially in my skin - some sagging and crepiness - and that's taken some getting used to.
"Living in LA, where the obsession with staying young is so intense, it's easy to get caught up in it. I'm trying really hard not to let that happen. I want to care without being consumed".
However, Whitney is adamant she's feeling stronger emotionally as she ages. She explained: "Emotionally, getting older has felt really good. There's more awareness, more perspective, and a deeper sense of who I am.
"I care less about things that used to take up way too much space in my head - and that part has been such a gift."

Melbourne schoolteacher 'cancelled' after sharing images of Kylie Jenner and son Aire at Italian resort
An Aussie schoolteacher has been "cancelled" for sharing images of Kylie Jenner and her three-year-old son Aire while they were both at a resort in Italy. Brie Price, who is a Melbourne prep teacher, was enjoying a relaxing pre-wedding holiday with her fiancé Dylan at the luxurious Borgo Santo Pietro resort in Tuscany. It's there she spotted the billionaire businesswoman. Seemingly starstruck, Brie took out her phone to film Jenner, 27, standing poolside beside Aire lounging in a deck chair. In clips shared by the teacher on TikTok, Jenner could be seen wearing a loose-fitting cream linen short and white singlet with a bikini underneath. Brie also took to Instagram Stories to share a selfie posing on the resort balcony, with Jenner walking in the background. "The closest I got to a selfie with Kylie," she captioned the shot. More footage shared by the teacher showed Kylie's supermodel sister, Kendall Jenner, 29, joining her famous younger sibling on a resort buggy. However, social media users were less than impressed by the clips, which quickly accumulated more than a million views. Some people even claimed Brie had "stalked" the stars. "Is this where you stalked the icons Kendall and Kylie?" one person wrote, according to screenshots of comments obtained by Daily Mail Australia. "They filmed your other guests and posted it online," another person posted, tagging the Borgo Santo Pietro resort. Ms Price subsequently deleted the controversial TikTok post. Brie still has clips of her holiday which do not feature the Kardashian sisters on her TikTok, and her Instagram account is private. However, it's unclear the switch to private was made before or after the backlash. The prep teacher in a TikTok video in May announced it was her final term as "Miss Price" before her marriage to Dylan, a real estate agent. It comes as Kylie herself shared snaps of her Tuscan getaway on social media. Photos on Instagram show the Kylie Cosmetics founder posing in the gardens, cooking, and swimming with Aire and her seven-year-old daughter Stormi, from her previous relationship with rapper Travis Scott. "Italian summer yes pleaseeee," Jenner wrote in the caption. It's understood Kylie and Kendall's European holiday occurred after the sisters attended the controversial multi-million-dollar wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy, in June. Kylie could be seen in photos wearing a Dilara Findikoglu-designed silver sleeveless garment with a bow-adorned strap as she boarded a gondola at the nuptials. She paired the structured dress, which featured a long skirt and a lace-up front, with black sunglasses and large diamond earrings. A-list guests who joined the sisters at the high-profile celebration included actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom, singers Usher and Ellie Goulding, NFL legend Tom Brady and TV presenter Oprah Winfrey. Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner, as well as Bill Gates and Queen Rania of Jordan, were also in attendance. The wedding festivities, estimated to cost around AUD$76 million, culminated in a star-studded party, as many angered Venetians and activists argued Bezos had exploited the 50,000-resident city. has contacted Brie Price and Kylie Jenner for comment.

Robert Irwin apologises for ‘dine and dash' incident at NSW restaurant
Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin has apologised for a dine and dash moment he had at a restaurant in NSW and paid for the mistake. Irwin claimed in a video on Instagram that things 'turned into a bit of frenzy' at the restaurant when fans began to notice him and 'didn't even realise' he didn't pay for his food. The next morning, Irwin contacted the restaurant as soon as he realised the error, offering to pay remotely and in his Instagram video, gave the small business a shoutout. 'Good on Robert. He definitely did the right thing there,' Sky News host Freya Leach said.
