Baby joy! Billionaire Merivale owner Justin Hemmes, 52, welcomes his first child with model partner Madeline Holtznagel, 28
Justin Hemmes has welcomed his first child with his long-time partner Madeline Holtznagel. The model, 28, announced their son's arrival on Instagram on Sunday alongside a gallery of sweet photos. 'Jaeger Justin Hemmes ❤️ 1.06.25,' she captioned the post. This is the model's first child with the billionaire Merivale owner. He shares two daughters - Alexa, nine, and Saachi, seven - with his ex-partner Kate Fowler. Madeline recently announced the sex of their baby in an interview with Stellar magazine, and said she was thrilled because she wanted a 'new journey' with Justin. 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. 'I always thought I was going to have a boy. I knew I was going to be a boy mum,' she said. 'Justin has two beautiful little girls, so having a boy, it's like a whole new journey together. '[The baby] is going to be his little best mate.' She said she previously kept details of her pregnancy private, but was ready to share her journey. 'I keep a lot of my life private and I don't share a lot online anyway, so [being pregnant] wasn't really something that I was going to share online,' she said. 'I haven't posted about it and it's been nice to have some quiet time off Instagram. 'But obviously because I am in the public eye and we do get photographed quite a lot, I think now I'm at this point in my pregnancy where it's nice for me to be able to share some nice photos'. Madeline also revealed she has sought advice from her older sisters Anna and fellow model Simone, who both have had children. In November, an insider confirmed the exciting news of Madeline's pregnancy to Daily Mail Australia and revealed a friend of Justin's recently moved out of his Vaucluse mansion to make room for their growing family. The business mogul, who has a net worth of $1.39billion, began dating Madeline in 2019 when she was 22 and he was 47 after his split from Fowler in 2018. Madeline is the younger sister of fellow Aussie model Simone Holtznagel, who welcomed her first child, a daughter called Gia, in March 2024 with her now-ex-boyfriend Jono Castano. Justin and Madeline have gone from strength-to-strength since going public in 2019 and even sparked engagement rumours in June 2023. Eagle-eyed fans noticed Madeline was wearing a ring on her wedding finger as they questioned whether Justin had popped the question. A picture showed her sporting the jewellery as she cuddled up to Justin while enjoying a bowl of Udon noodles together at a restaurant in Japan. But the bling appeared to be an emerald and diamond promise ring, and another photograph showed her wearing a different ring on the same finger as she posed for a selfie.

Residents weigh in on SANDAG's rail realignment proposals along Del Mar bluffs
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Public input is pouring in on the San Diego Association of Governments' (SANDAG) latest proposals to reroute the The LOSSAN (Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo) rail corridor along Del Mar's deteriorating coastline. A large crowd turned out Thursday night at a music venue on the Del Mar fairgrounds to hear from project managers and share their thoughts, which will ultimately help SANDAG further refine how the project will evolve over time. It comes after SANDAG released a new Notice of Preparation on May 16, teeing up a 30-month environmental review process which will eventually lead to a report. 'I was actively playing on the bluffs west of the tracks with my son who is 27 as he was growing up, and that's all gone,' said local resident, Jack Jaeger. 'So, I've watched 25 feet go in 44 years.' Jaeger knows first-hand just how bad the coastal bluff erosion is near his 10th street home in Del Mar. He wants a seat at the table when decisions are made to realign the rail lines. Up for debate are four options undergoing further study by the SANDAG Board of Directors. 'What we're looking for in this project is to make the lines safer, efficient and resilient,' said Keri Robinson, SANDAG's deputy director of Mega Projects, Border, and Goods Movement. One option would involve tunneling under Camino Del Mar, while another would move the tracks from the San Dieguito bridge to Interstate 5, also involving some tunneling. There's also the option to tunnel under Crest Canyon or keeping the tracks where they are but adding double tracking. Or there's a no-build option, which would involve more stabilization efforts. 'I think it's ludacris, absolutely ludacris,' said Jaeger. 'Darn near legally actionable for them to maintain the tracks on the bluffs.' Opinions vary widely on the best way forward with the multi-billion-dollar project. 'I think it makes more sense to go under Camino Del Mar,' said Gary Hoffman, who lives on the outskirts of Del Mar on Racetrack View Drive. 'It would be easier, faster, less money.' He said if the tracks move close to where he lives, noise is a major concern. 'So, I'd rather see it some other place, which is kind of what everybody wants – not in my backyard,' Hoffman continued. The public will have until June 30 to provide comment on the four realignment options.

Adidas, Puma expected to hike sportswear prices following Nike as US tariffs hit
LONDON: Adidas and Puma are likely to hike prices for running shoes and sportswear in the United States, following Nike's lead, analysts and investors said on Thursday, as U.S. tariffs on imports drive costs up for retailers. Nike on Wednesday said it would raise prices next week, charging up to $10 more for shoes currently costing more than $150, while keeping prices stable for products under $100. It is the biggest sportswear company by sales and market cap. 'That was the moment Adidas and Puma were waiting for,' said Robert Krankowski, sporting goods analyst at UBS. Both German sportswear brands recently said they would not be the first movers in raising prices, instead waiting to see what rivals do. 'We should probably expect a similar decision from both Adidas and Puma because … this is not Nike-specific, it is an industry issue. Everyone will be impacted by the tariffs,' Krankowski added. U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a blanket 10% tariff on all imports, and hit China with a higher tariff of 30%. More worrying for sportswear brands, the key footwear and clothing manufacturing hub of Vietnam faces the threat of a steep 46% tariff returning in July. Nike described the announced price increases as part of its normal seasonal planning, without mentioning tariffs. Puma said on Thursday it is in talks with its U.S. partners but has not decided whether or how it would adjust prices. Adidas did not immediately reply to a request for comment on its pricing plans. 'Historically, when the leading brand adjusts its prices, competitors tend to follow suit shortly thereafter,' said Federico Borin, an analyst at Janus Henderson. How high other brands raise prices will depend on their assessments of U.S. shoppers' willingness to pay, which varies based on how in-demand their sneakers or running shoes are. Adidas, which has enjoyed a surge in sales thanks to trendy vintage shoes such as the $100 Samba and $120 Gazelle, could easily raise prices, said Simon Jaeger, portfolio manager at Flossbach von Storch in Cologne, Germany, which holds shares in Adidas and Nike. Nike's price increases are relatively modest, Jaeger added, but 'what concerns me more is that the U.S. consumer in general is not as strong as a couple of years ago.' U.S. consumer sentiment slumped further in May while one-year inflation expectations surged, according to the University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers on Friday. Given weaker demand, sportswear brands will have to carefully manage their inventories at retailers, Jaeger said, to avoid oversupplying and being forced to discount. Puma, whose sales in the U.S. have been slowing, may have less room to hike prices than Adidas, said UBS' Krankowski. Puma has said it aims to sell 4 million to 6 million pairs of its $100 Formula 1-inspired Speedcat sneaker this year but sales have been slower than expected, raising the question of whether it should hike the shoe's price. 'Puma doesn't have a massive first-mover advantage because the other brands are taking more momentum,' Krankowski said. Read More Prada not looking at M&A, CEO says More expensive brands are also adapting as Nike hikes prices. Running-focused On, whose adult sneakers sell for $130 and up, plans to increase prices in July on certain products in the U.S., saying this is part of its ambition to be the 'most premium' global sportswear brand and not a reaction to tariffs.
