The mystery woman on the arm of paralyzed former NRL player Alex McKinnon could be revealed as a glamorous young social worker ten years his junior.

Former Newcastle Knights player McKinnon, 32, and fellow Newcastle University student Lily Malone, 22, both shared an image with their arms around each other on their Instagram pages on Sunday.

McKinnon posted the photo of them both dressed in pink at Malone’s 22nd birthday party just hours before the NRL season opener kicked off in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Moments later, Malone debuted McKinnon on her own Instagram page, sharing the same photo with a love heart emoji.

Malone’s mother Monique did not deny the pair were an item when contacted by Daily Mail Australia on Monday.

“I’m not going to comment on their relationship, that’s for them to comment on,” Ms. Malone said.

Lily Malone is studying for a bachelor’s degree in social work at Newcastle University. McKinnon studies psychology there and works as an analyst for Fox Sports.

Malone – who works as a family liaison officer at Life Without Barriers – recently revealed she will soon become a qualified social worker.

“Working with a small, dedicated team, I have developed an eight-session program tailored to the unique needs of “parents of young offenders within a domestic violence context,” she recently posted on her LinkedIn page.

McKinnon’s romance comes after he split from ex-wife Teigan Power in January 2022 after five years of marriage, three children and his own horrific on-field foot accident that left him paralyzed.

When they split, both parties confirmed that the split was amicable and that they remained committed to co-parenting their children, twins Audrey and Violet, and eldest daughter Harriet.

Power announced her new love Jake Nelson at the end of last year.

Last year, McKinnon said he and Power were still connected by a strong, close friendship.

“We are still very close,” he told News Corp.

‘Being a parent is such an important job and having a strong relationship with their mother is just as important.

‘We are still good friends, we both realize that we are role models for the children and we have to show them that supporting each other is the only way to be that.’

McKinnon proposed to his high school sweetheart from his hospital bed just days after his promising NRL career was cut short in March 2014 when he suffered a devastating spinal cord injury in a horrific on-field accident. He was only 22.

He suffered fractures to his C4 and C5 vertebrae after a dangerous tackle just before half-time of a Round 3 match against the Melbourne Storm. McKinnon proposed to Power just a fortnight after breaking his spine.

McKinnon and Power married in October 2017 in an intimate ceremony in the NSW Hunter Valley.

The former Knights star promised his bride that he would get up from his wheelchair when he popped the question, and he did just that at their wedding.

The couple was together for 12 years and married for five years before their relationship quietly ended.

McKinnon’s father Scott told Daily Mail Australia at the time that McKinnon “did well, but it’s really sad – what can you do?”

“I know he’s a good boy, but Alex is a private guy.

“It’s just very, very sad.”

A night of celebration ended with the usual flurry of high-profile departures following the star-studded 76th annual BAFTA Awards on Sunday evening. 

Celebs scattered across London to enjoy lavish afterparties hosted by Vogue, Netflix and Universal. 

Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal cosied up to pal Emma Stone at Netflix’s afterparty at the Chiltern Firehouse.

Meanwhile, Kate Beckinsale and Kaia Gerber brought the glamour as they attended the British Vogue And Tiffany & Co. fashion And film party.

Florence Pugh stayed true to form on Sunday night and celebrated the BAFTAs by attending the Universal and Netflix afterparties.

The Dune star, 28, looked incredible as she hopped from the Universal party held at the Nomad hotel in Covent Garden, before skipping off to the Netflix bash at the Chiltern Firehouse.

Dua Lipa and her new boyfriend Callum Turner looked besotted with each other as they left Vogue party. 

The singer, 28, and the actor, 34, held hands as they walked towards their waiting car after partying the evening away at the star-studded bash. 

The biggest night in British film returned with actor David Tennant as host and an array of guest presenters on hand to deliver awards throughout the night.

Prince William attended the ceremony in London solo as his wife Kate Middleton continues her recovery from last month’s abdominal surgery.

Oppenheimer won Best Film as well as sweeping the board in the major categories at the EE BAFTA Film Awards at The Royal Festival Hall .

The epic biographical thriller led the wins with seven gongs, including Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. and Best Director for Christopher Nolan. It had the most nominations with 13.

Murphy, 47 – who plays the titular role in Nolan’s atomic bomb saga – picked up the prize at the prestigious awards ceremony.

He triumphed against Bradley Cooper for Maestro, Colman Domingo for Rustin, Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers, Barry Keoghan for Saltburn and Teo Yoo for Past Lives.

Accepting the trophy, he said: ‘Oh boy, holy moly, thank you very, very much BAFTA.’

He paid tribute to ‘the most dynamic, kindest producer-director partnership in Hollywood: Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas, thank you for seeing something in me that I probably didn’t see in myself.’

The Irish actor said to Nolan: ‘Thank for always pushing me and demanding excellence because that is what you deliver time and time again.’

Nolan also acknowledged his ‘fellow nominees and my Oppenhomies’, adding: ‘I know it’s a cliche to say, but I’m in awe of you.’

He said J Robert Oppenheimer was a ‘colossally knotty character’, adding: ‘We have a space to debate and interrogate and investigate that complexity and it’s a privilege to be a part of this community with you all.

Downey Jr, 58, also collected a BAFTA for his role as Lewis Strauss in the Hollywood blockbuster, which has swept the board during the 2024 awards season.

He admitted he owes the award to Nolan, producer Emma Thomas and leading man Murphy, as well as ‘British influence’.

Gesturing to Nolan, he said: ‘Recently that dude suggested I attempt an understated approach as a last ditch effort to resurrect my dwindling credibility.’

Downey Jr’s win set a new record for the longest gap between wins by any performer as it comes 31 years after his previous BAFTA, for the 1993 film Chaplin.

The previous record was 27 years, set by Sir Anthony Hopkins in 2021 when he won the award for best actor for The Father, nearly three decades after his 1994 win for Shadowlands.

Nolan won the Best Director BAFTA for Oppenheimer, his epic tale of how the nuclear bomb was created.

Before accepting the award from actor Hugh Grant, Nolan hugged Murphy.

Nolan joked that his brother ‘beat him up here’ by being in a chorus of a production 40 years ago.

Nolan has previously lost out despite numerous commercial successes such as Inception and The Dark Knight, the UK-born filmmaker won out against Jonathan Glazer [The Zone of Interest], Justine Triet [Anatomy of a Fall], Alexander Payne [The Holdovers], Bradley Cooper [Maestro] and Andrew Haigh [All of Us Strangers].

He paid tribute to Murphy and added to those who backed the film: ‘Thank you for taking on something dark’.

The director also acknowledged the efforts of nuclear disarmament organisations to bring peace.

Oppenheimer swept up in the big name categories, but it was closely followed by the surreal black comedy Poor Things.

It marked five awards for the film, as Emma Stone collected the Best Actress gong for her turn as Bella Baxter.

Accepting her award, she said: ‘Since we’re in London, I want to start by thanking dialect coach. She praised him for not laughing at her when he taught her how to say ‘water’.

‘I really wanted to thank my mum, because she’s the best person I know. Without her none of this would exist, including my life, so thank you for that Mum.’

The American actress said she was ‘in awe’ of all of the team behind the film, where she plays the part of a woman who is reanimated and implanted with the brain of a baby.

She paid tribute to the writers for coming up with the line ‘I must go punch that baby’ in a memorable dinner scene, and also hailed director Yorgos Lanthimos for ‘our friendship and the gift of Bella’.

Also thanking her mother, Stone said: ‘She kind of made me believe this crazy idea that I can do something like this.’

Meanwhile, Da’Vine Joy Randolph crowned victorious in the Best Supporting Actress category for her part in The Holdovers as she continues her march to Oscars glory.

Randolph took to the stage and told Chiwetel Ejiofor, who was presenting the award, ‘you are so handsome’ – prompting laughter from the audience.

On a more serious note, she said: ‘Thank you for trusting me with this beautiful character.

Becoming emotional, she said being able to ‘wear this beautiful gown, standing on the stage in London, is not a responsibility I take lightly’.

Randolph plays school cook Mary in the film set at a boarding school in the early 1970s.

Next up, Director Jonathan Glazer and producer James Wilson’s The Zone Of Interest won the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film.

Wilson told the audience they were ‘stunned’ the film had won three awards during the ceremony, and while it was shot in Poland, the team who made it was assembled from the UK.

The night kicked off with French legal drama Anatomy Of A Fall winning the Original Screenplay award after premiering in Cannes back in May.

Collecting the award, co-writer and director Justine Triet, said: ‘The last time I I was in London, a woman said to me: ‘After I saw your movie I called my ex and told him to see it to understand why I dumped him.’

‘Someone else said ‘Did you put a mic in my kitchen?’

Gesturing to her co-writer and partner Arthur Harari, Triet said ‘I would like to make a statement tonight: it’s a fiction and we are reasonably fine.’

Harari referred to the plot of the courtroom drama when he joked that he had recently found himself near a window in an attic.

He added: ‘I want this room as my witness, if something happens to me, I loved insulating that attic and I’m quite happy tonight.’

Next up, Poor Things has won the BAFTA for special visual effects.

VFX supervisor Simon Hughes said receiving the special visual effects BAFTA for the the film was a career highlight.

‘It’s the peak of my career, absolutely for me. And to have it happen on such a unique film like this is just a real eye-opener, it’s been such a surreal and such a rewarding experience.’

Following this, drama film Earth Mama was honoured with the BAFTA outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer, presented by David Beckham.

Director Savanah Leaf was sobbing as she took to the stage to be presented with the award for her tale of a pregnant single mother.

Leaf said ‘this is crazy’, adding: ‘Our lead had never acted before and she poured her heart into this and she was so fearless.’

The director was given the award alongside Irish producers Shirley O’Connor and Medb Riordan.

The Zone Of Interest won the BAFTA for a film not in the English language.

Director Jonathan Glazer said it was ‘an out of body experience’ to win the award as he paid tribute to his collaborators.

Producer James Wilson thanked Glazer for his ‘virtuosity and his friendship’.

He continued: ‘Walls aren’t new from before or since the Holocaust and it seems stark right now that we should care about innocent people being killed in Gaza or Yemen or Mariupol or Israel.’

He added: ‘Thank your for recognising a film that asks us to think in those spaces.’

The BAFTA for Casting was awarded to Susan Shopmaker for private school-set The Holdovers, while the editing award has gone to Jennifer Lame for Second World War biopic Oppenheimer.

Comedy drama American Fiction has won Best Adapted Screenplay.

American writer and former Gawker journalist Cord Jefferson said winning a BAFTA was ‘surreal’, and that he had his speech written for him because he did not think he would need it.

Jefferson said in a ‘risk-averse industry’, he is thankful for his film – about a novelist who spoofs the ‘black genre’ of books, which becomes a ruse he has to maintain – was made.

The Boy And The Heron won the Best Animated Film Bafta.

Filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki was not at the ceremony so the award was collected by presenters Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.

The Documentary BAFTA went to 20 Days In Mariupol, which highlights the work of Associated Press journalists in the besieged Ukrainian city during the Russian invasion.

Ukrainian filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov said: ‘This is not about us’, this is about the country invaded by Russia and the bombed city they filmed in was just ‘a symbol of everything that has happened’.

‘Thank you for empowering our voice, and let’s keep fighting,’ he added.

Composer Ludwig Goransson won the BAFTA for Original Score for Oppenheimer while Johnnie Burn and Tarn Willers scooped the honour for best sound for Holocaust film The Zone Of Interest.

The BAFTA for Production Design went to Shona Heath, James Price and Zsuzsa Mihalek for surreal comedy Poor Things, about a woman who is reanimated and begins a new life.

It was previously announced the BAFTA for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema would go to programmer and archivist June Givanni, founder of the Pan African Film Archive, who collected the prize during the ceremony from Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh.

Northern Ireland actor James Martin, from Oscar-winning film An Irish Goodbye, presented the British short film Bafta to Yasmin Afifi and Elizabeth Rufai for Jellyfish And Lobster, a tale about care home residents.

Accepting the prize, Afifi said the film was about elderly people who find the ‘magic in their final days’, before wiping tears away from her face.

Egyptian actor Sayed Badreya, who appears in the film, got down on his knees and prayed on stage.

The British Short Animation BAFTA was presented to Ross Stringer, Bartosz Stanislawek and Aleksandra Sykulak for Crab Day, about a father and son in a fishing community.

Stringer thanked his parents in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and said the film was about ‘standing up for yourself, no matter what the world thinks of you’.

Poor Things won two more BAFTAs for best costume design, and make-up and hair.

Samantha Morton collected the BAFTA Fellowship from producer David Heyman, who she worked with on Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

There were tributes from her Minority Report co-star Tom Cruise, as well as collaborators Susan Lynch, Molly Windsor and Daniel Mays, while Heyman described her as a ‘rare breed and true artist’.

Morton was visibly emotional and overwhelmed as she said: ‘This is nothing short of a miracle. When I first saw Ken Loach’s Kes on a huge telly that was wheeled into my classroom I was forever changed.

‘Seeing poverty and people like me on the screen, I recognised myself – representation matters.’

She said she would tell her younger self: ‘You matter, don’t give up, the stories we tell, they have the power to change people’s lives.

‘Film changed my life, it transformed me and it led me here today.’

She added: ‘I dedicate this award to every child in care, or who has been in care and who didn’t survive.’

The BAFTA Rising Star award was won by Mia Mckenna-Bruce following a public vote.

The star of coming-of-age film How To Have Sex appeared emotional on stage as she thanked her family and her ‘beautiful baby boy’.

The 26-year-old joked that she hopes her little sisters, who do not think ‘I’m cool’, will change their mind after her win.

Margot Robbie, Emily Blunt, Emma Stone and Florence Pugh were among the star-studded arrivals earlier in the evening on the glitzy red carpet.

Kareena Kapoor made a stunning appearance in a shimmering ocean green dress as she represented India at the Vogue Ball of Arabia event in the UAE on Thursday evening.

Kareena Kapoors fashion has its own fan base. Be it her ornate sarees or elaborate dresses, the actress keeps the style meter ticking when she chooses an outfit. Once again we grace our Instagram feeds in a glamorous dress from the shelves of top designer Sabyasachi. Bebo made a stunning appearance in a shimmering ocean green dress as she represented India at the Vogue Ball of Arabia event in the UAE on Thursday evening. The theme for the mega event was 'Mermaids and Aquatic Glamour' and Bebo looked nothing short of a queen.

Kareena Kapoor took to her Instagram stories and shared her glamorous OOTD of the day. She sizzled in a fully sequined aquamarine dress with a plunging neckline, thin straps and a mermaid hem. To complement her so-hot ensemble, Bebo wore a vintage neckpiece from the designer's high jewelry collection and a clutch from the same brand. Her tresses were left open as she opted for glossy makeup. Kohl-laden eyes, well-textured contours and glossy lips completed Bebo's stunning avatar.

Kareena shared a mirror selfie and wrote, “Woke up like this.”

Fans were on fire with her dazzling avatar. One user said: “You look beautiful,” another said: “What a look!”, “Wow, what a color.”

French singer and former first lady of France, Carla Bruni, graced the ball, accompanied by Lebanese actors, Arab and Egyptian models. Check out more pictures of Kareena Kapoor from the party:

On the professional front, Kareena Kapoor will next be seen in The Crew alongside Kriti Sanon, Tabu and Diljit Dosanjh. She also has Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, which also stars Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh.

Simon Cowell was mobbed by fans on Sunday as he arrived with Amanda Holden for another day of auditions for Britain's Got Talent at the London Palladium.

The music mogul, 64, brushed off another day of quirky auditions after experiencing a dramatic start to the show earlier this week, which saw the police called to deal with an intruder.

Simon smiled as he arrived at the venue and waved and chatted with fans as he got out of his car.

Meanwhile, Amanda tried to keep a low profile as she rushed in with her hood up and her head down.

The presenter, 52, looked casual in a pink tracksuit and brown UGG boots, teamed with dark sunglasses.

Geordie duo Ant and Dec were all smiles as they stopped to organize another day of fun auditions.

Bruno Tonioli wore a white tracksuit and a brown jacket, paired with a baseball cap and sunglasses.

It comes after police led away a female intruder on the set of Britain's Got Talent at the London Palladium on Wednesday after she 'tried to get backstage' to see the judges, including Simon and Amanda Holden.

The unidentified woman, who was pictured with her hood up, reportedly tried to “sneak” past security and enter the restricted area.

A Met Police spokesperson said: 'Police were called at 1.23pm today to reports of a woman suffering from a mental health crisis in Argyll Street, W1.

'Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended. The woman was assisted by officers who arranged for her to be met by a family member. There were no violations.'

A Fremantle spokesperson added: 'Police dealt with an individual outside the Palladium who caused some commotion, and the BGT team assisted to the rescue.

“But BGT did not call the police and there was no threat to the judges because they did not enter the Palladium.”

Audiences reportedly heard chatter among theater staff saying an intruder was “trying to sneak in backstage” to see Simon and his celebrity counterparts.

Auditions for the popular television talent show, which seeks to find the country's next star, have been postponed due to the chaos caused by the 'intruder', according to reports.

She was pictured wearing a hooded tracksuit flanked by officers as she was escorted out of the theater.

Officers were seen speaking to theater door staff after the incident, as a small crowd gathered outside the stage door, with security staff standing by.

MailOnline has approached the Met Police for comment.

The judges and presenters have had a busy week as hopefuls flocked to the London Palladium to showcase their talents in a bid to make it to the show.

They started the auditions earlier this week on Wednesday afternoon and packed two blocks of audition shows a day into a packed schedule through Sunday.

They will then head to Manchester in early February for another five days of auditions, held at the Central Convention Centre.

The release date for the upcoming 17th series of Britain's Got Talent has not yet been confirmed.

Last night Meghan Markle was the image of Hollywood glamour with a slicked-back bun and what fashion experts believe to be a bespoke, flowing maxi skirt from Carolina Herrera – as she and her husband attended the premiere of the new Bob Marley film in Kingston, Jamaica.

But when the Duchess of Sussex, has in past jetted off to the island – for her own wedding to first husband Trevor Engleson in 2011 and to a friends’ nuptials in 2017 – her ensembles appeared significantly less A-lister polished.

She paid a visit to the Caribbean nation thirteen years ago, showing off an even more laid-back style when she had her first ever wedding there.

The Duchess – who has in past described herself as a ‘Californian hippie’ – donned a casual white sleeveless frock, adorned with minimal glittering detail at the waist, as she and her former husband had a beach barbecue at their reception.

The pair tied the knot at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios before their split in 2013, and Meghan could also be seen wearing a yellow bikini and baseball cap as she enjoyed some drinking games with pals ahead of the ceremony.

Meanwhile in 2017, Meghan visited once again when Prince Harry’s pals Tom Inskip and Lara Hughes-Young tied the knot.

Then, the mother-of-two channelled a boho-chic vibe with a simple flowery dress – featuring a flowy silhouette and a halter neck – along with some sunglasses.

Instead of pinning her hair up, the former actress kept her brunette tresses relaxed and wavy. 

It’s also a marked contrast from Meghan’s previous island looks, such as her soft floral ensembles during a 2018 trip across Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.

The Duchess of Sussex oozed glamour in a monochrome ensemble, which she looked to team with a simple body suit, on Tuesday evening. 

The strappy design showed off her toned shoulders and cinched at the waist, as the mother-of-two grinned for the cameras during Paramount’s glitzy screening of the biopic at the Carib Theatre.

Meghan teamed her sophisticated look with flashy accessories, and is thought by royal watchers, including Royal Fashion Police on Instagram, to have sported 18K Gold earrings from Jennifer Meyer Jewellery, costing $3,250 (around £2,558.37).

Elsewhere, the Duchess held onto her classic ‘J Box clutch’ from Jimmy Choo (worth £750, or around $952.75) – one of her staple items, which she has worn multiple times over the years.

She showed off her dewy skin with simple, understated make-up and styled her hair in a slicked-back bun. 

Meanwhile Prince Harry, 39, opted for a casual black suit and white shirt for the event.

Accustomed to wearing designer clothing and exquisite jewels, the Duchess of Sussex is widely recognised for her luxurious style.

And in 2023, this was no exception as Meghan showcased a wardrobe worth £86,612.16. It is £4,121.48 more than her 2022 total, which was £79,000.

Meanwhile, in 2021, she showcased outfits worth £58,388, and in 2020, the year she stepped back from her role as a senior royal, her closet totalled £44,188. However, in 2018 her clothing bill totalled almost half a million pounds (£406,662.55).

While a working member of the Royal Family , the cost of Meghan’s clothes for work engagements was covered by then-Prince Charles through the budget he gave the couple from the Duchy of Cornwall.

However, since the couple became financially independent, it is not clear who is picking up the bill for Meghan’s clothes, whether she pays full price or receives discounts from designers.

On International Women’s Day in March, she showcased her most expensive outfit, featuring a £2,996 Max Mara Lilia coat, paired with a Chanel 19 Flap bag, costing £4,759.54.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex turned heads as they posed for photos and shook hands with actors last night.

The pair posed with the president and CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins, and his wife Tracy James.

Meghan and Harry – who stepped down from royal duties four years ago – also stood with prime minister of Jamaica Andrew Holness and his wife Juliet at the premiere.

Holness has said his country is ‘moving on’ from the British monarchy. Harry’s father, King Charles, is currently head of state of Jamaica. 

The process to sever ties with the British monarchy is underway, following in the footsteps of another former Caribbean possession, Barbados.

Much like the island county’s severance with the monarchy, Prince Harry too revoked his HRH titles and sensationally moved on from being a working royal in early 2020.

He moved to North America with his wife Meghan, who he wed in 2018.

Meghan and Harry now reside in Montecito, California, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. The Sussexes have made very few public and personal trips back to the UK since leaving their duties behind. 

The couple have had many ventures in the entertainment industry since their royal departure. They signed multimillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify to produce podcasts and docuseries, discussing their life within the royal fold. 

Six months ago, they parted ways with their $20million Spotify deal, following the production of Meghan’s ‘Archetypes’ podcast series. 

On Tuesday night, Prince Harry was seen on the red carpet hugging Ziggy Marley, the 55-year-old musician and son of Bob and Rita Marley, who produced One Love.

It is unclear why Harry and Meghan were there – although the film showcases British talent, with Londoners Kingsley Ben-Adir as Bob Marley and Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley, and James Norton playing producer Chris Blackwell.

And in 2012, Harry also travelled to the island nation for his Diamond Jubilee tour of the Caribbean, where he was seen dancing with a large crowd to Marley’s hit One Love.

He also met the late musician’s widow, Rita Marley, now 77.

Bob Marley died of cancer in 1981, aged 36.

And as they were soaking up the sun, Harry’s father King Charles was readying for his operation, and Kate Middleton was recovering.

The King, 75, was seen on Monday driving near Sandringham in his electric Audi. 

Charles, who clasped the wheel with thick green woollen gloves, was sighted briefly before making his way back through the main entrance of his Norfolk estate, where he was saluted by a policeman. 

Queen Camilla described the King as doing ‘fine’ as she chatted to a member of the public during a visit to Deacon and Sons, a 175-year-old family run jewellery shop in Swindon.

Local woman Jessie Jackson, 86, said she shook the Queen’s hand and asked her how Charles was doing. 

Nicky Jackson, 48, who accompanied her, added: ‘She asked how Charles was. He’s fine. We forgot about poor Kate.’

Charles flew back to Sandringham from Scotland on Friday to prepare for his upcoming operation.

The monarch and his wife were flown more than 300 miles on a Royal Air Force jet from Aberdeen Airport to RAF Marham before being driven the final 15 miles. 

He was pictured sitting in the back seat of his Audi EV while being driven by a chauffeur. 

It comes at a difficult time for the Royal Family, with the Princess of Wales recovering in hospital from scheduled abdominal surgery and the Duchess of York revealing at the weekend that she has skin cancer.

The Princess of Wales is said to be ‘doing well’ after going under the knife for her abdominal operation at The London Clinic near Regent’s Park last week. 

She will remain in the exclusive clinic for up to 14 days, and is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter. 

Meanwhile, Sarah, 64, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma – an aggressive form of skin cancer – after several moles were removed during reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy in June.

One was identified as cancerous and she is now undergoing further medical checks to make sure the cancer has been caught in the early stages. 

Ariana Madix made jaws drop on Wednesday night as she joined Scheana Shay, Lala Kent and Katie Maloney at the Vanderpump Rules season 11 premiere in Los Angeles.

It comes nearly a year after it was exposed that Madix’s longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval had engaged in a months-long affair with their VPR co-star Rachel Leviss.

The scandal — cleverly referred to as ‘Scandoval’ — made global headlines and resulted in record-breaking ratings for Bravo, with Variety reporting that Vanderpump Rules was the ‘most-watched cable series of 2023.’

Madix successfully avoided an awkward run-in with her philandering ex Tom on Wednesday as they walked the red carpet separately.

The blonde bombshell sizzled in a baby pink see-through dress that showed off her killer figure.

The sheer frock was worn over a coordinating pink bralette and ruched miniskirt.

Madix stood on strappy metallic heels that displayed her bright white pedicure.  

Scheana Shay dazzled in a sequin nude illusion gown with a daring thigh-high slit.

The podcaster gave her petite frame a boost with sky-high silver heels and wore her brunette hair in voluminous bun.

She was joined at the premiere party by her husband Brock Davies. 

The couple legally married in 2021 but waited exactly a year to host their wedding in Cancun, Mexico in August 2022.

Scheana and Brock are parents to a two-year-old named Summer Rain.

Lala Kent stood out amongst her glam co-stars as she hit the red carpet in a sporty look.

The mother-of-one rocked an army green Givenchy jersey as a dress over a baggy black T-shirt.

For a flirty touch, she threw on black semi-sheer tights and designer heels.

The Give Them Lala host smiled for shutterbugs with her golden hair falling down her chest in curls. 

Katie Maloney — whose shock divorce from Tom Schwartz was explored in season 10 — flaunted her edgy new look on Wednesday night.

The former model/actress layered a sexy leopard-print slip dress over a mesh top and lack lace bra.

Her chocolate brown ‘do was swept behind her ears as to showcase her shiny silver chainlink earrings. 

The Bravo series’ matriarch Lisa Vanderpump arrived in style in black calf-length coat with a dramatic faux fur collar.

The restaurateur layered her outerwear over a low-cut black lace dress and tights worn with heels.

She enjoyed a sweet reunion with Tom Schwartz on the red carpet — as she famously partnered with him and Tom Sandoval to open the popular West Hollywood bar TomTom. 

Tom Sandoval arrived at the Hollywood Palladium with a mystery brunette by his side. 

The musician and his plus one shared a pack of Trident gum as they waited to get in the 4,000-person venue.

Sandoval cut a quirky figure in baggy pinstripe pants with his signature silver lightening bolt necklace around his neck.

Tom Schwartz posed up against the Vanderpump Rules backdrop in head-to-toe cream.

Despite facing flack for his role in ‘Scandoval,’ the Minnesota native looked delighted to see his co-stars.

DJ James Kennedy packed on the PDA with his stunning girlfriend Ally Lewber upon their arrival.

The couple shared a kiss for the cameras.

Kennedy looked sharp in a maroon velvet suit with black lapels and black stripes running down the sides of the pants. 

Ally stunned in a glitzy low-cut dress with beaded fringe that touched the floor. 

Fans got their first taste of season 11 when the explosive trailer was released in November during BravoCon.

Last season saw Sandoval’s affair with Leviss exposed, bringing about the end of his and Madix’s nine-year relationship, and Leviss leaving the show. 

The teaser showed a tense confrontation between Madix and Sandoval as she accuses him of trying to ‘kill’ her dog.

‘Ruin my life, my home and then attempt to kill my f******g dog, my lawyer will be dealing with you,’ Madix says in a raised voice while speaking to Sandoval. 

There was also plenty of talk amongst the cast over whose ‘side’ they are on, with Maloney warning Shay: ‘If you’re going to be friends with him she’s going to cut you off, so think about your next move very carefully.’

Filming for season 11 kicked off in July — just four months after ‘Scandoval’ went public — and wrapped in September.

Reports at the time claimed that Madix ‘refused’ to be in scenes with Sandoval — with TMZ alleging that she shut down the opportunity to a one-on-one with her philandering ex.

Madix told Deadline in November that it was ‘weird’ shooting season 11 after all she endured that year.

‘It was different. It was difficult and I’m glad that it’s behind me,’ she said. ‘The last year has showed me I can do hard things.’ 

Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules premieres January 30 at 8pm ET on Bravo.

Vanderpump Rules viewers will soon see the return of two loved — and equally hated — cast members in the new spinoff series The Valley.

Jax Taylor, his wife Brittany and Kristen Doute appear in the first trailer for the reality TV show which will premiere in the Spring. 

It follows the trio as well as a crew of new faces as they ‘take a shot at adulting.’

Jennifer Garner took to her main Instagram page on Saturday to share a montage of photos and clips while saying goodbye to 2023 ahead of the New Year’s holiday. 

The 13 Going On 30 actress, 51 – who recently enjoyed a festive sleigh ride through the streets of L.A. – kicked off the reel by standing on a wooden deck outdoors just as the sun was setting in the distance.

The star – who kept it casual in a short-sleeved navy shirt and denim jeans – flashed a small smile and tilted her heads up towards the orange sky. 

The camera was then also pointed upwards, and ‘2023’ appeared over the video in white lettering, along with a waving hand emoji. 

As the instrumental version of Coldplay’s hit track, A Sky Full Of Stars, played in the background, special moments throughout the year appeared in the clip, such as the mother-of-three excitedly attending a Taylor Swift concert during her Eras Tour. 

Garner could be seen wearing a short-sleeved, yellow shirt that had ‘Je t’aime’ printed on front as well as a black and white, polka dot skirt. 

She held out her arms towards the camera with a smile on her face as she flaunted her numerous friendship bracelets. 

In another snap, Jennifer put on a dazzling display in a strapless, black dress that had sparkling, rhinestone details throughout the fabric. 

The star – who sent her fans a cheerful wave in the photo – wore the ensemble when she stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in April. 

The businesswoman additionally gave her 15.1 million followers a behind-the-scenes picture during her photo shoot for Allure. 

She donned a sheer, green dress as well as closed-toed, yellow pumps for the fashionable look. For a finishing touch, the Alias alum sported short, light purple locks. 

During her interview with the outlet, the beauty opened up about motherhood and raising her three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11 – whom she shares with ex-husband, Ben Affleck. 

‘Your kids will really figure out who they are and what they are when they’re older, and most likely they will hew toward lovely.’ 

She continued, ‘I have a lot of faith in my kids. I don’t love every behavior all the time, always. It’s gnarly growing up.’ 

Jennifer also shared a photo of herself appearing in the Capital One Venture Card advertisement featuring her food company, Once Upon A Farm. 

She included a snap of herself trying a snack from the brand while inside a factory, and could be seen wearing a jacket as well as a helmet with her name on the front. 

‘We are trying to be an ally for moms,’ she told Good Morning America in October while discussing the company that offers snacks made from fresh and low sugar ingredients. 

Garner shared a short clip of herself putting her health first while enjoying a productive workout session. 

Also in the montage, she could also be seen joining picketers during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike that took place earlier this year. 

The actress shared a fun behind-the-scenes snap while filming the Netflix film, Family Switch, that was released on the streaming site last month in November. 

Jennifer, as well as her fellow co-stars, Ed Helms, Brady Noon and Emma Myers, held shocked expressions while filming a car scene.  

Jennifer also starred in the thriller miniseries, The Last Thing He Told Me, which premiered on Apple TV+ in April. 

She shared a photo while promoting the project, and also posing for a snap with co-star, Victor Garber, which the actress uploaded to Instagram in March. 

The star also included a snippet as she twirled on stage inside a lavish and spacious auditorium. 

In 2023, the beauty also had the chance to travel and she shared a few moments from trips to the roundup. In one photo, Garner struck a pose on a balcony with a scenic view that stretched out in the distance. 

She had the chance to reunite with her 13 Going On 30 co-star, Judy Greer, for her birthday and the pair paused for a memorable snap together. 

The mother-of-three also flaunted her skiing skills and paused for a picture while on a snowy slope. 

Also during her busy year, she had the chance to stop by The Kelly Clarkson Show and uploaded a photo of herself getting ready for the appearance.

Jennifer enjoyed relaxing moments during her busy schedule, and flashed a big smile while standing in a sunflower field as the sun shone down on her. 

She uploaded another image of herself snacking on a bar from Once Upon A Farm while she was getting glammed up. 

Garner spent time with loved ones, and included a few images as she spent time with family members, such as her father. 

Jennifer is an Artist Ambassador for Save The Children – which offers ‘programs address children’s unique needs, giving them a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm,’ per the official website.   

She uploaded heartwarming and lighthearted moments as she worked alongside the charity throughout 2023. 

Some of the last memories she included in the reel ahead of ringing in 2024 included Jennifer spending time on a farm picking pumpkins from the ground. 

The actress could also be seen getting a bit of fresh air while enjoying a jog on a dirt path that was surrounded by green trees.
