Margot Robbie packs on the PDA with husband Tom Ackerley during intimate balcony moment in Italy
Margot Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley enjoyed a tender moment during their getaway to Naples, Italy on Friday. The Barbie star, 35, and the film producer, 35, packed on the PDA on the balcony of the Grand Hotel Parker's while taking in the historic views. Tom was pictured tenderly placing both hands on his wife's midriff while kissing her from behind, with Margot covering one of his hands with her own. The Australian actress — who gave birth to their first child last October — showed off her toned legs in a chic mini dress with an elephant print. Margot, who was recently tipped as favorite to star in a 'wild and orgasmic' reboot of the '90s cult classic Basic Instinct, completed the look with a pair of beige mesh flats. She wore her long golden tresses cascading down her shoulders as she sipped from a bottle of water. Meanwhile Tom — whom the star married in 2016 — sported a light button-up shirt and dark shorts. The two new parents are reportedly over the moon with their son. 'They waited a long time to get pregnant, so it was almost unbelievable when the baby actually arrived,' an insider told People in November. 'They've both been settling into being parents. They're homebodies so it's been lovely to spend the time just them, at home with him,' the insider added. 'They're so happy.' Margot's pregnancy was made public in July and the couple enjoyed a romantic 'babymoon' to Sardinia, Italy, at the end of August. The couple welcomed their son in October, and are yet to reveal their child's name. Tom and Margot first met in 2013 while working on Suite Française, where he was an assistant director, and she was in front of the camera. They cemented their relationship after moving in together with other friends in a four bed house in Clapham, South London, which according to Margot was the 'best days of my life'. The couple got married in 2016 and are co-producers on a number of projects, including Hulu's Dollface, through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment. 'I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,' Margot told Vogue in 2016. 'And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. 'Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.' It comes after Robbie has emerged as a favorite to star in a new reboot of Basic Instinct. The Wrap reported this week that Amazon MGM Studios' United Artists had acquired the rights to an as-yet-untitled reboot of the controversial 1992 erotic thriller. News of the reboot sent fans into a frenzy on social media, with many offering their pick to take on the film's antagonist Catherine Tramell, played in the original by Sharon Stone. 'OMG Margot Robbie would be perfect for this,' one film fan wrote on X,' while another offered a similar sentiment: 'remake it with Margot Robbie.' It seems the market agrees, with UK bookmaker William Hill placing the Barbie actress as one of the favorites to star. They currently have Margot at 3/1 odds, just behind Oppenheimer star Florence Pugh at 2/1. Other actresses in contention include Sydney Sweeney (5/1), Anya Taylor-Joy (6/1), Ana de Armas (8/1), and Jodie Comer (10/1). Pop star Lady Gaga, meanwhile, is the outside chance at 12/1 odds. Joe Eszterhas, the Hollywood veteran screenwriter behind the 1992 original, has inked a $4million deal to pen the reboot, the publication reported. The original Basic Instinct, starring Stone and Michael Douglas, was a box office phenomenon, grossing more than $350million globally. The film followed Douglas as Detective Nick Curran, who becomes embroiled in a dangerous seduction game with novelist Catherine Tramell (Stone), a prime suspect in a murder investigation. The film, known for its explicit content, including Stone's now-iconic interrogation scene, shot the actress into the stratosphere. Back in 2023, Stone revealed that Robbie would be the perfect choice to play her in a film adaptation of her life. 'I adore Margot Robbie so probably her,' she said on The Lady Gang Podcast in 2023. 'She is so talented. After I saw her playing Tonya Harding I was like you're it.'

Pregnant Sophie Habboo jets off on babymoon with Jamie Laing as he shares funny snaps from their flight
shared some funny snaps of his pregnant wife Sophie Habboo as they jetted off on a babymoon on Friday. The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, took to his Instagram to post a fun clip of Sophie, 30, standing outside of an airport looking a little downcast. He then posted a funny snap of the soon mother-to-be curled up on a chair of a plane with a thick eye mask and a cap covering the top of her face. Alongside the clip Jamie penned 'Hey Mamma' before writing on top of her sleeping picture, 'The Mamma Is Out'. For their trip, which the destination of has not yet been revealed, Sophie wore a pair of grey joggers and a grey T-shirt. Opting for comfort, the former reality TV personality finished her ensemble with a pair of black trainers and a black jacket. It comes after Sophie revealed on her and Jamie's newly named podcast NearlyParents, that she has struggled with some aspects of her pregnancy. She confessed that when her second trimester hit, she felt like she was 'dying' and was dealing with a lot of hormones that made her frequently feel irritated. 'This girl has gone from a bit of a b***h to don't come near me,' she quipped. 'Up until week eight, I was smooth sailing. No good aversions, no sickness, so much energy, I was like what is every talking about this is unbelievable. 'Week eight hit and everyone's starting to grate to me a bit. Like that man sat next to me on the plane breathing, like is it illegal if I punch him in the face? 'If you're a fan of the podcast, I love you so much but you're not going to like me if you meet me at the moment.' Jamie said he struggled to get his head around Sophie's mood changes with pregnancy, recalling: 'I asked Sophie if she had any cravings and she said, ''No, the only craving I have is hating you''. 'I then spent an evening on Reddit looking at 'Why does your wife hate her husband so much when they're pregnant'. He went on: 'Sophie is teaching me to drive and I'm a little bit nervous in the car and she goes 'You're a s**t driver'. I'm literally in my head going 'Oh my god she hasn't eaten this is really scary'. 'Sophie then gets so angry she says to me 'I'm so angry I want to drive us both into the back of this car and kill us'. And then she started crying!' Sophie confessed that the 'anger is uncontrollable' but that it 'was very fleeting' as she lamented how her 'enormous t*ts' also meant she couldn't fit in any of her clothes. Jamie candidly told listeners how he owed her a real apology after not taking her hormones seriously and threatening to leave her over her 'grumpiness'. Sophie said: 'Jamie was like 'Oh you're just milking it, you fake all your hormones, there's no such thing'. He went 'Oh you're just faking all of this.' I was like 'Oh my god' as I'm lying there with my enormous t*ts out and I can't fit into a single thing.' Recalling the incident in question, she went on: 'We are leaving and I feel really sick this day and Jamie gets his camera out and goes 'I'm going to vlog today'. Like on my Sunday that I'm about to vomit all day long. 'And what happened was Jamie sits down and he goes 'I'm going to call my friends and ask them what I should do about this. Because I'm going to have to leave you. I'm going to leave you because you're just so unbearable right now.'' Jokingly pretending to break down in tears, she shared: 'And I went 'You're going to leave me and I'm pregnant'.' In defence of his actions, Jamie quickly added: 'The amount of people who are going to call me an a*****e. Just a caveat to add - I had no idea the emotional journey that you go on, how your body changes. 'I just didn't understand the extreme things that go on and since having read stuff on Instagram, I am awe of what you go through. The hormone change is wild.' Showing their Chelsea roots, the couple also revealed that Sophie's worst craving so far was for caviar, recounting how they had dashed around London trying to find a shop that was open at 8pm. Jamie explained they eventually found a caviar store only to discover a single pot cost £240, as he declared: 'I was like 'Well that craving has to stop there and then'. Sophie revealed that after some Googling, she learned it is recommended that pregnant people avoid the expensive delicacy due to the risks of bacteria and mercury. However, she confessed that the risks were the only thing that stopped her from eating it, otherwise, she would not have allowed the hefty price tag to put her off.

Pregnant Vick Hope displays her baby bump in a colourful bikini while holidaying with husband Calvin Harris at their sprawling 138-acre Ibiza farm
Vick Hope showed off her blossoming baby bump while holidaying with her husband Calvin Harris in Ibiza on Wednesday. After leaving her BBC Radio 1 show on maternity leave a couple of months ago, the radio presenter, 35, and her DJ spouse, 41, are preparing to welcome their first child. In the meantime they're spending some time away at their 138-acre farm called Terra Masia, with Vick sharing snaps from the sun-soaked getaway to her Instagram. Captioning the slew 'june bloom', the TV personality looked every inch the glowing mother-to-be as she gazed down at her bump while sporting a bikini top. She also posed for a photo on the beach, cracking a smile for the camera after slipping into a white summer dress. The compilation also revealed that the couple were joined by pals on the Spanish island, with Vick cradling her bump in one photo while stood arm-in-arm with some friends. The radio presenter, 35, announced she was pregnant with her DJ husband's child during an appearance on her BBC Breakfast show in May (pictured March 2025) Vick confirmed rumours that she was pregnant live on her BBC radio show in May, letting her listeners know that she would soon be leaving on maternity leave. During a conversation with co-host Jamie Laing, she revealed: 'I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave.' Jamie told her: 'You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum.' She replied: 'Oh, thank you.' A few weeks later while on stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Vick and Jamie curiously asked the thousands of supporters in the crowd for baby name suggestions. Addressing the audience, Jamie said: 'Vick is about to go on maternity leave, and she wants some help with some baby names, so if you can shout some names to me.' As the huge crowd began screaming out suggestions a giggling Vick replied: 'Ok, I got it.' Whenever Calvin and Vick's baby is born, they will likely be raised at the couple's sprawling Gloucestershire mansion. The Scottish-born DJ has reportedly transformed a sleepy village in the county into his own multi-million-pound countryside empire snapping up homes left, right and centre. The One Kiss hitmaker, worth an eye-watering £250million, is set to move into a stunning new five-bed mansion with his pregnant wife later this summer. Calvin is thought to have already bought two neighbouring homes and is eyeing up a third, bringing his total spend in the area to an estimated £15million. One local told The Sun: 'Building work there finally finished, for now, last week and we're expecting Calvin and Vick to move in at the end of the summer after his season playing at clubs in Ibiza has finished. From the road, the house looks amazing. 'No expense seems to have been spared. I am sure they will love living here as a family.' The move mirrors Ed Sheeran's infamous creation of 'Sheeranville' in Suffolk, with Calvin now following suit by transforming the sleepy village of just 700 people. Another resident said: 'Just like Ed Sheeran, he seems to want to buy up the properties that surround his incredible new house. 'We have had to put up with lots of building work going on, for what seems like years but what has annoyed locals most is that a lovely vineyard has gone.' Alongside the main mansion, originally bought in 2019 for £3.6million, which was flattened and rebuilt from scratch, it is thought Calvin also snapped up a six-bedroom property with a three-acre vineyard for £3.6 million, although he insisted the vines be ripped out. The plush pad, made from classic honey-coloured Cotswold stone, features five bedrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court. Other locals joked that the local pub could be next on his list - and suggested the chart-topper might even treat residents to a DJ set. Calvin, who once worked in a fish factory and stacked shelves at Safeway to buy his first decks, has since topped charts with 11 UK No1s and raked in millions from a Las Vegas residency. Ever since he sold his song catalogue in 2020 for a reported £76million and has invested heavily in property ever since. The new mansion features a series of large ground floor rooms including kitchen, dining room and TV snug. Already the owner of a £12million mansion in LA, a £7.5million London townhouse, and a 138-acre farm in Ibiza, Calvin appears to have found his UK base in the Cotswolds, alongside celebrity neighbours like the Beckhams, Kate Moss, and Jeremy Clarkson.

Chincoteague, Virginia: the perfect family vacation spot you've been sleeping on
What if I told you a stunning island oasis boasting pristine shorelines, natural beauty, and endless family fun existed just a three-hour drive from Philadelphia? Pack your bags for Chincoteague, Virginia: the ultimate summer family vacation destination that you've likely overlooked until now—and need to visit stat. Known for its wild ponies, unspoiled nature, and relaxed atmosphere, this small island off the coast of Virginia's Eastern Shore offers the perfect balance of leisure and outdoor adventure for the whole fam to enjoy. I recently visited Chincoteague, VA with my husband, toddler, and baby bump for a family vacation-slash-babymoon. From sunny beach days to long nature walks, sunset dinners on the sand, and even an up-close wild pony encounter, we left the island with sun tans, full bellies, happy hearts, and incredible memories that we still gush about to anyone who will listen. Our first trip to Chincoteague certainly won't be our last. Here's your go-to Chincoteague family guide to eating, exploring, kicking back, and taking in everything that Virginia's only resort island has to offer. When planning our babymoon to Chincoteague, I wanted modern, family-friendly accommodations that put the 'home' in home base versus a hotel—and Key West Cottages truly delivered. This new and luxurious resort features 38 cottages right on the bay and is within walking distance to many top Chincoteague restaurants and attractions. From the pastel hues to the waterfront views, the resort felt like a tropical paradise; I couldn't believe I was just a short drive from my New Jersey home. We stayed in a nautical-themed, one-bedroom cottage complete with a spacious living room and full kitchen, which meant I could easily store snacks and make breakfast for my toddler (a huge time and money saver). When traveling with children, having a clean, cozy, and comfy retreat to unwind in between activities is crucial for everyone. While my daughter took her afternoon nap, my husband fished off the pier and I read my book on our private porch (vacation mode, activated!). Everyone's favorite part? The heated outdoor pool, which is open year-round and features a shallow end and toddler-friendly waterslide that my daughter went down 487 times (rough estimate). Other amenities include: Private bayside beach with fire pits and lounge chairs Onsite outdoor activities: complimentary bicycles, kayak launch, fishing, and crabbing Sunset pier Option for late checkout at 12 p.m. (parents, this is an extra $45 well spent!) Whether you're looking to book a weekend getaway or an extended week-long trip, this luxury Chincoteague resort for families will check all your boxes. Wild ponies roam freely around the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island, woven deeply into the fabric of the town's history and community (legend has it they arrived via shipwreck in the 16th century). No trip to Chincoteague is complete without a wild horse sighting—and here are the best ways to catch a glimpse: Drive or bike around Assateague Island on Beach Road and you'll likely see the horses grazing from a distance. The Assateague Explorer boat tour is a great option for up-close views of the ponies in the marshes Plan your summer vacation around the annual pony swim, a world-famous, week-long celebration in late July where the ponies are herded across the Assateague Channel and paraded through town; the event is followed by an auction and big carnival. For a hands-on experience, we took our daughter to the Chincoteague Pony Farm (next to The Bike Depot), where she could safely pet and feed a herd of ponies. Chincoteague and Assateague Islands are brimming with natural beauty—from pristine shorelines to diverse wildlife and jaw-dropping sunsets. The area is a paradise for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and relaxation enthusiasts alike—and here are some fun ways to take it all in with the family: Embark on a guided boat cruise or kayak tour. These eco-adventures grant you up-close wildlife encounters, scenic views, and plenty of fun facts about the island's unique ecosystem. Visit the historic Assateague Lighthouse. My family and I just enjoyed the photo op in front of the iconic striped landmark, but during high season, it's open to visitors on weekends from 9am-3pm (free admission). Enjoy a beach day on Assateague Beach. With 37 miles of sandy shoreline, it's a great spot to sunbathe, swim, fish, and maybe spot some ponies. If you're traveling with children, beware of strong currents and swim in a designated area with on-duty lifeguards. Hike the nature trails. The 3.25-mile paved Wildlife Loop through the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge is great for birdwatching; also, the Life of the Marsh trail is stroller friendly and features a half-mile boardwalk through the salt marsh. Don't forget bug spray! Rent bikes and use the designated bike trails and lanes to explore both islands. Walk along Main Street in Chincoteague; you can pop in and out of art galleries, bookstores, and souvenir shops, then do a lap around Robert Reed Park and snap a pic at the infamous LOVE chairs. The long stretches of sidewalk were ideal for our morning stroller walks. Brianna's Kindness Park features a toddler-friendly sensory playground so the kids can run their energy out. There is no shortage of great spots to eat and drink in Chincoteague. When mealtime approaches on vacation, my husband and I seek out local fare, delicious cocktails, and excellent vibes; our daughter, however, just wants a kid's menu, entertainment, and ice cream. These top Chincoteague restaurants for families delivered on food and atmosphere for all—and many of them were walkable (with the stroller) from our resort: For casual waterfront dining, head to Ropewalk, where you can feast on crabcakes, stick your toes in the sand, vibe out to live music, enjoy epic sunset views, and let your little ones run amok on the playground while you sip an orange crush (or three). The kid's menu is expansive and more importantly, comes served on a souvenir frisbee. Pico Taqueria is an island staple, serving up gourmet artisanal tacos made with locally sourced ingredients (I went back for seconds of The Main Street taco). The shoes-optional, outdoor atmosphere is chill and the cocktails tasted so fresh, we lingered for a few rounds while our daughter played in the sand. Check out the specialty food trucks around the island, including Having a Meltdown for sandwiches, K&J Teriyaki for Korean fare, Cosa for wood-fire pizza, and Better. for some healthier options. Added perk: they're dog-friendly if you're traveling with your pup. Get your caffeine fix at Main Street Coffee House or AmaRin Coffee (both spots have adorable indoor and outdoor seating for your well-deserved coffee break). For a grab-and-go breakfast delight, don't skip Sandy Pony Donuts for warm specialty donuts, acai bowls, and smoothies—the long line is worth the wait! Must-visit ice cream spots in Chincoteague: Mr. Whippy for soft serve, Island Creamery for homemade scoops, and BYOC (Build Your Own Cookie) to craft your own cookie sundae. History lessons on vacation can be fun (yes seriously!). Discover local hot spots, hidden gems, and local history with kid-friendly activities to keep little ones engaged: Ponies, pirates, and seafood samplers—the various Chincoteague Step Through Time Walking Tours let you get your steps in and immerse yourself in the town's rich and unique history (about 1.5 hours long). The Museum of Chincoteague Island offers a scavenger hunt and touch area for kids, plus a new Beebe Ranch exhibit (open Tuesday-Saturday). Learn all about NASA's 80-year history on the shore at the NASA Wallops Island Visitor Center, which features an interactive section for kids (open Thursday-Saturday with free admission). Heading to Virginia's Eastern Shore? Here are my top five vacation beauty essentials and accessories that I couldn't leave home without: SOL Labs Natural Mineral SPF 50 Sheer Mist My fair-skinned two-year-old needs SPF 50, my pregnant self needs mineral sunscreen, and my husband will only use a spray formula. Luckily, this lightweight, natural sheer sunscreen mist sprays on invisibly, doesn't feel sticky, and nourishes skin—I feel good about using it on the whole family. e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver Lip Balm Buttery soft, nourishing, and the perfect amount of healthy-looking shine and subtle color—this hydrating tinted lip balm feels luxurious but is super affordable ($9!) and I can't stop reaching for it day in and day out. Sunday Afternoons Kauai Hat The summer sun in Virginia is unforgiving, so a wide-brim hat topped my packing list. This one shielded my face and neck while I was poolside and on the beach with UV protection—it also folds up well in a suitcase and even more importantly, looked great in photos. Addoklm Extra Large Rubber Beach Bag Does it look like a gigantic Croc with handles? Yes. But does it also hold three big towels and all your beach paraphernalia? Sure does. And can you easily hose the sand off at day's end because it's rubber? Indeed. Function over fashion sometimes reigns supreme (although I think it's kind of cute!). SEEN Hair Care Travel Trio Even when I'm on a carefree beach vacation, I want my hair to feel good and look good. This travel kit features a trio of mini clean haircare essentials—shampoo, conditioner, and blow-out cream—to help reduce frizz and nourish my mane on the go.

Olivia Bowen displayed her growing baby bump in a navy bikini on Thursday as she soaked up the sun during a babymoon with her husband Alex. The former Love Island star, 31, looked every inch the glowing expectant mother as she sat on the edge of a hot tub during a loved-up break at the Wilderness Reserve in Sussex. Olivia, who is 34 weeks pregnant, looked relaxed and at peace as she lifted her head towards the sun while soaking her feet in the water. The blonde beauty, who teamed her two-piece swimwear with dark sunglasses, was later joined by her husband, who rested his head against his wife while showing off his hunky frame. Olivia also uploaded a romantic video of herself and Alex packing on the PDA while sitting together on a sun bed. Alex, who shares son Abel, two, with Olivia could be seen kissing and doting on his wife as they took in a sunset while clad in matching pink robes. The couple, who met in the Love Island villa back in 2016, looked as loved up as ever as they counted down the days till they welcomed their second child. It comes after Olivia showed off her blossoming bump last month, just weeks ahead of welcoming her baby daughter. Olivia displayed her bump in a casual bralette and joggers as she shared candid insight into her final weeks of pregnancy. She captioned the snap: 'She's so high now right up in my lungs'. In July, Olivia posted a sweet clip from her family of three as they enjoyed their last holiday all together before the birth. It looked like a truly relaxing trip, with the trio appearing to be spending the majority of their time at the beach. Olivia wrote: 'Another trip to Spain - the last one before baby girl comes, and next we'll return as a family of four to our own villa out here - never felt so lucky.' The former Love Island star, 31, looked every inch the glowing expectant mother as she sat on the edge of a hot tub during a loved-up break at the Wilderness Reserve in Sussex The blonde beauty, who teamed her two-piece swimwear with dark sunglasses, was later joined by her husband, who rested his head against his wife while showing off his hunky frame The stunner wore a colourful bikini for the beach trip, accessorising with a pair of dark sunglasses while her husband and son wore beige swimming trunks. In another snap with Alex, Olivia showed off more of her extensive summer wear collection, this time wearing a blue bralet that comfortably sat above her growing bump. The star kept it cool on the trip too, covering up with a black and white mesh sundress as she cuddled Alex and Abel on a lounger. Olivia announced that she was expecting in February of this year and has been keeping fans updated with her pregnancy. Sadly, it has not been smooth sailing for the family as Olivia was expecting twins, but sadly lost one of her babies eight weeks into her pregnancy. She made the revelation on Loose Women, where she recounted their tragic experience of vanishing twin syndrome. The couple were told they were having twins just before Christmas, when they attended an early six week scan.
