Katy Perry snapped in Peter Alexander bear onesie with daughter at Luna Park in Sydney
It is not uncommon to spot a onesie-wearing Australian in the colder months down under but an American superstar has joined in the trend while on tour. Snapped at Luna Park in Sydney, pop superstar Katy Perry was seen in an Aussie designer's fluffy offering looking calm, collected and super comfy. The showbiz queen clearly has good taste as the onesie was from none other than Australian sleepwear king Peter Alexander's collection. So chuffed was the designer he shared the pic on his official Instagram account. While a large portion of Australians go to bed wrapped in Alexander's sleepwear, it is nice to know he has an international following too. The fluffy bear onesie appears to be a popular choice and is sold out online with some children's sizes available. The adorable snap also captured Perry holding the hand of her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, whose father is Hollywood superstar Orlando Bloom — Perry's partner since 2016. Days after the Californian diva had a security scare when an audience member charged the stage at her sold-out Qudos Bank Arena show in Sydney, news has surfaced that the A-list couple's relationship may be on the rocks. The couple are contending with rumours of a potential split following Daily Mail reports Perry was spotted without her wedding ring on the tour and following tensions created around the flop of her 2024 album 143. 'Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It's like, 'La la la la la, I love you. Alright, let's move on,'' the pop superstar previously said in 2024. She also mentioned the impact that their domestic blow-ups had on their four-year-old daughter Daisy. 'We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that,' Ms Perry said. 'He's a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There's two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego. When the ego is running the show, then it's like, 'Whoa.' But when that's in check, then we're both something else.'' Mr Bloom, who is in New York for the Tribeca Film Festival, has spoken previously about the challenging moments in their partnership. 'Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity.' Perry is currently in Melbourne before her tour heads to Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

‘Did I want this?': Tammy Hembrow and Matt Zukowski call it quits
Fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow has broken down in tears while announcing her split from Matt Zukowski after fewer than eight months of marriage. Ms Hembrow, 31, took to social media, where she shared that although it was giving her 'so much anxiety' to announce it, their marriage was over. 'I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am getting a divorce,' she said. Ms Hembrow stressed that she didn't want to get into the details, and wanted to be sensitive to everyone involved. 'Did I think this was going to happen? No. Did I want this? No. Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking … um, that it is going to be forever,' she said. 'I blame no one but myself.' Ms Hembrow and Mr Zukowski tied the knot in November 2024. Ms Hembrow had to pause multiple times to collect herself, explaining that she doesn't think she's always made the 'best choices' in her romantic life. 'When it comes to relationships. I'm really good at putting on rose-coloured glasses or just getting swept up in it all,' she said. 'Obviously, the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don't care about me, I know I'll be okay. I feel awful.' Ms Hembrow continued to cry as she said she just wanted to focus on her kids, healing, and all the good things in her life. She also acknowledged that there had already been some cruel commentary online about her inability to make a relationship last. Ms Hembrow has three children: Wolf and Saskia with her ex-fiance Reece Hawkins, and her daughter Posy with her ex-fiance Matt Poole. 'Nothing anyone could say will make me feel more s**t or humiliated than I already do. I already think that about myself right now,' she said. Ms Hembrow then shared she was still in therapy, and this experience has made her realise there's a lot of work she still needs to do. 'There's a lesson in everything. Hopefully, this time, I learn it,' she said. 'Hopefully, I'll be more cautious going forward and more eyes wide open and listen to the people around me. 'Hopefully I finally learn from these mistakes. Super embarrassing, super heartbreaking, super just s*** situation.' Meanwhile, Mr Zukowski posted on his Instagram story to confirm that the marriage was officially over and admitted he'd 'struggled' with the decision. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate. Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however, we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children,' he wrote. 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten.'
