Booby tape founder Bridgett Roccisano confirms marriage split
Bridgett Roccisano, who created Booby Tape with her sister Bianca, confirmed she has separated from her husband of two years, Joshua Cavallaro.
The 31-year-old said she was 'devastated' by the break-up and stressed her focus was on their young daughter Elle who she gave birth to in April.
'This year has brought more change than I could have ever imagined. Becoming a mother has been the most profound and beautiful gift of my life,' Ms Roccisano wrote in a statement posted to Instagram on Monday.
'While I am devastated and disappointed the journey hasn't unfolded the way I envisioned, as family is everything to me, I've discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed for both my daughter and I.
'Elle and I may be walking a different path now, but it's one filled with support and most importantly, stability and love.'
The new mum's heartfelt admission comes just hours after she posted a series of photos on social media that appeared to show her without her wedding ring, sparking speculation about her marriage.
In the snaps, Ms Roccisano, who also shares cult fashion label Bianca and Bridgett with her elder sister, could be seen in a 'sold out' red-wine coloured suit from the brand's latest collection.
'It's been a minute! Suit, always @biancaandbridgett,' she captioned the post.
But some eagle-eyed followers were quick to spot her left hand, which was holding her phone as she took the mirror selfies, didn't have her statement diamond sparkler.
Mr Cavallaro hasn't spoken publicly about his marriage breakdown, but according to the Daily Mail, he has removed all images of his wife from his social media pages.
Ms Roccisano, who became a self-made millionaire alongside her sister Bianca after launching Booby Tape – a 'breast lift in a box' – in March 2019, married Mr Cavallaro, a senior draftsman for the civil engineering firm Laker Group, in April 2023, two years after they got engaged.
It comes after both Booby Tape and Bianca & Bridgett hit major business milestones. The fashion brand recently landed a deal to be stocked in David Jones stores across the country, while the body adhesive will soon be stocked in Boots, a major British beauty retailer.

Christian O'Connell blindsided by Amanda Keller's radio reveal
Christian O'Connell was blindsided last Friday when Sydney radio duo Amanda Keller and Brendan Jones unexpectedly revealed on air they were shifting timeslots, a bombshell that lit up his phone mid-show. 'There are going to be some changes,' Keller said on Sydney's Gold FM shortly after 6am. 'Brendan and I are going to go to the drive shift (4-6pm).' The pair, who have been hosting their breakfast show for 20 years, said they felt compelled to share the news that morning due to recent media reports that claimed they were to be replaced by O'Connell's Melbourne-based show in 2026. 'We wouldn't have otherwise mentioned this, but there is a podcast that's gonna come out on Saturday about it (Game Changers) … and it was in the trade papers yesterday,' Jones said. 'We should own the news of it,' Keller added. The sudden on-air announcement caught not only their loyal listeners off-guard, but also Christian O'Connell, who was sitting 850km away in Gold FM's studios in Melbourne. 'I thought my phone was gonna actually burst into flames during Friday's breakfast show,' O'Connell told podcast, From the Newsroom. Behind the scenes, a deal had been done for The Christian O'Connell Show to be networked into Sydney breakfast from 2026, with Jonesy and Amanda to become an afternoon show on the same two stations. But that deal wasn't meant to be made public for a few weeks. 'Look, it did surprise everybody,' O'Connell told 'I'm not gonna BS you. 'But my god, those two (Keller and Jones) really deserve to do their news when they think it feels right. 'Radio is the leakiest industry in the world,' he added. 'So I get that they had this big thing that was going on and it must be hard for them not to be able to talk about it.' O'Connell said he's thrilled that Jonesy and Amanda will be heard on Gold FM in the afternoons next year, and raved about one of the hosts in particular. 'I think Amanda is one of the best broadcasters in Australia,' he said. 'I think she's incredible. 'Whenever she's come on the show to do stuff with me, I get nervous,' he admitted. 'Because … I know I'm funny, I know I'm good, but … you've really got to have your A-game ready because Amanda is like a ninth damn black belt.' O'Connell said he received a text from Keller over the weekend in which she said she was glad that he was the 'new guy'. 'She's invited me to come out for a long lunch in a couple of weeks time so we can talk about it all,' he told From the Newsroom. Christian O'Connell's big announcement After Keller and Jones' big announcement on Friday, O'Connell shared his exciting news with listeners on Monday morning. 'From January next year, we get to break new ground,' he said on Gold FM in Melbourne. 'We'll be the first ever commercial breakfast show to go live to Australia … Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and then Sydney, from Melbourne.' O'Connell confirmed to that his breakfast show will be broadcast onto Gold FM in Sydney and Melbourne, whereas he'll be heard on DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) stations in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. You can tune into DAB+ stations in most modern cars, online, or with digital radios. 'The future of radio listening in this country, as it's been shown with TV as well, is digital,' he said. 'So it's a great way to be able to roll it out.' Dream come true Having his show networked into multiple cities is a dream that O'Connell has had ever since he moved to Australia. 'There hasn't been a day I haven't thought about this for the last seven years,' he said on-air on Monday. That move happened back in 2018. At the time, he was one of the biggest radio stars in the UK, having hosted a hugely successful breakfast show over there for 12 years. But craving a new challenge, he quit his show, packed up his life and moved to Melbourne with his wife and kids to join Gold 104.3. It didn't take long for the city to accept the Brit, and within 18 months his breakfast show had gone to number one on the FM dial. The Christian O'Connell Show has gone through a couple of changes of late. Longtime co-host Jack Post quit in May, with ex- Today Show presenter Alex Cullen joining the program a couple of weeks ago. Also on the show is newsreader Patrina Jones, who O'Connell described as a 'wild and unpredictable powerhouse', and producer Riordan Lee aka Rio, who has 'a very smart joke IQ and is a great storyteller'. His wildest on-air moment While speaking to we asked O'Connell to tell us about the most bizarre thing that's ever happened to him while live on air. The experienced broadcaster didn't hesitate. 'I've done this competition called … Who's Calling Christian?' he said. 'The idea is that we say to listeners, 'contact a celebrity … and get them to call the show and they could win thousands of dollars for the charity of their choice … and you could win thousands as well.' 'I did it in the UK and Rod Stewart called in,' he said. 'Then Liam Gallagher called in. 'Liam said the F-word 13 times and on the radio in the UK, that is not cool, but he offered to pay any fines. 'Literally in the last 10 minutes (of the show) my producer goes, 'you're not gonna believe who's on the line right now … it's the Prime Minister from Number 10!' 'I'm trying to just suddenly ground myself in this moment,' O'Connell recalled. 'I'm thinking, what the hell am I gonna say?' But just seconds before he went live on air with the PM, one of O'Connell's producers buzzed through with some rather unhelpful advice. 'He goes, 'don't f**k this up!' I remember just getting angry, like why would you even say that? 'I remember we did this 10 minute live interview and he (the PM) was at his desk at 10 Downing Street. 'In one show, to go from Rod Stewart to Liam Gallagher and then the Prime Minister, it was like the greatest line-up on a chat show,' he said. For O'Connell, it's that sense of unpredictability, the mix of chaos and connection, that makes radio 'magic'. 'You're on a tightrope every morning and sometimes you fall off it, but there's no other medium that can offer that.'

Australian musician Col Joye dies aged 89
Australian musician Col Joye, the first Australian pop performer to reach number one on the local charts, has died at the age of 89. Colin Jacobsen — known professionally as Col Joye — had enormous success in Australia in the early days of rock and roll with his band the Joy Boys. He started his music career in his brother Kevin Jacobsen's band, The KJ Quintet, in Sydney in 1957. They impulsively changed their name to Col Joye and the Joy Boys to secure a gig at the Manly Jazzerama and, joined by younger brother Keith on bass, the Joy Boys began performing regularly in Bankstown. In 1959 their second single, Bye Bye Baby made the top spot on the Sydney charts and three further top 10 hits followed. Along with his brother Kevin, in th 1960s Joye also established an influential management, publishing and recording business. Joye saw the Bee Gees in Surfers Paradise in 1961 and signed them to Joye Music, with the Gibb brothers performing backing vocals as Joye's hit single Starlight of Love in 1963. In 1973, his single Heaven Is My Woman's Love became a national number one. Joye recorded and performed until suffering an accident in the early 1990s.

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis cop backlash for seemingly snubbing fans at Sydney premiere
Westfield Bondi Junction rolled out the purple carpet for the Australian premiere of the highly anticipated Freaky Friday sequel, Freakier Friday. Stars of the film, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, attended the glitzy affair at Event Cinemas on Tuesday night to promote the new film, which comes 22 years after the original. However, some fans who lined up for hours were left disappointed after the Hollywood duo skipped the fan area altogether, walking straight past it and straight onto the stage, which was closed off to select guests lucky enough to secure tickets to the screening. After judging a fashion show on stage modelled by influencers such as Tammy Hembrow, Curtis and Lee made their way back down the red carpet and up the escalators, with their diehard fans barely catching a glimpse. 'Waited hours only for them not to come say hi,' one fan wrote on TikTok as they shared a video of Curtis and Lohan seemingly snubbing the fans lined up against the barricades. 'I just wanted to see Lindsay. Westfield staff were like let's give the fans who waited 6-10hrs a free $10 food voucher for today only but also all the stores are closed bc it's 7:30pm.' There is footage on social media of other fans crying after the supposed snub, while others also vented their frustrations from outside the cinema. 'I've been going to red carpet premieres for over 20 years now, mostly in Sydney Australia, and these people like me have been here since 10am in the morning – people have come before me as well,' one fan shared in a TikTok video. 'This is officially the fan section and we were all expected to, hopefully, get a photo with them, hopefully get an autograph but they didn't come out.' 'For whatever reason, they didn't bring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis out to us. So we've been here for all these hours. For me personally from 10am, and I've got nothing.' However, as the event continued upstairs, Curtis and Lohan were more than gracious as they did numerous red carpet interviews before venturing into two packed cinemas to greet the audience seated inside, thanking them for their support. 'Thank you for having us here. This movie is a labour of love for the both of us, and we're just so thrilled that we're ending our press tour here because Australia is a beautiful place,' Lohan told the audience. 'It's the first time my son's here and I'm just so happy to be back here. It's my second time back here with Jamie now.' 'I've been here many times,' Curtis chimed in. 'As you know, you're a bit of a destination resort for us, and it tells me how important this country is to the success of movies. Disney – thank you – made a big, big effort and a big point to say, 'We need to go to Australia.'' 'You know, it's kind of a long flight, but we wanted to come and support the movie here because we understand how important you guys are to it and to its success,' she concluded. Also at the event was US supermodel Tyra Banks, who wanted to support her longtime friend Lohan. The duo starred in the comedy Life-size back in 2000 and have remained each other's biggest cheerleaders ever since. Banks has been living in Sydney since 2023 and has since opened her first flagship ice-cream store Smize & Dream in Darling Harbour.
