Brooke Blurton revealed the state of her love life on Wednesday night after recently making headlines for her string of very short-lived romances.

The Bachelorette star, 29, was brutally dumped twice in the past year after just a few weeks of dating mystery beaus.

“I’m so single it hurts,” she told Daily Mail Australia as she walked the red carpet at the Formula One Glamor on the Grid event.

But despite appearing unhappy with her current relationship status, Brooke insisted she wasn’t looking for a new partner at the moment.

‘Not tonight. I am fine. I have a 6am flight tomorrow…It’s all business tonight,” she joked.

Brooke was spotted passionately kissing a new man on the Sunshine Coast in November despite swearing off love, but their tryst now appears to be over.

Before her beach date, Brooke announced that her latest mystery boyfriend of one month had pulled the plug on their relationship.

Brooke posted an aerial photo from her flight to Melbourne last July and captioned it with some reflective words.

“Perth was such a beautiful reset for my soul. After the man I fell for broke it off, I really started to question who I was,” she began.

‘Sometimes a reset helps you get back on track. As much as it stung, I know in my heart that it’s not me. I haven’t met the right person yet and that’s okay.’

Brooke has also dated Nick Power, as well as Bachelor stars Alex Nation and Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins.

The series matchmaking reality TV star went on to say that she put her love life on hold for a while while she focused on other priorities.

‘I love my job, I love my friends and I really love what I do. “I just need to chill out about the ‘love aspect’ now,” she added.

In the past, Brooke was romantically linked to Australian non-binary singer G Flip in 2021, a rumor she confirmed in December last year.

The outing comes after an interesting past week for Pip.

Last week, Pim and PE Nation founder Claire Greaves officially parted ways after more than a decade together.

The friends, who have recently been hit by rumors of a split, co-founded the athleisure brand in Sydney in 2015 and have since turned it into a thriving global business.

However, Claire has now stepped back from running the label, while Pip will continue to run the brand solo.

This move marks the end of one of the most enduring relationships in Australian fashion and represents a huge change for the popular streetwear brand.

Claire – who split from her husband, filmmaker Timothy Tregoning, in 2022 – will now “pursue other creative endeavors” as she takes her career in a new direction.

The brand confirmed the news in a statement to the Daily telegramwhich said: ‘After ten years leading PE Nation with friend and co-founder Pip Edwards, Claire Greaves has made the decision to step down from the day-to-day running of the business.

She wore matching white and black Salvatore Ferragamo stilettos and a Tag Heuer watch

Her blonde and orange locks were styled in voluminous waves

“Claire will remain on the board and maintain her shareholding as the company continues to thrive in the highly creative, visionary hands of Pip Edwards at the helm, together with the board of directors.

‘The company has secured and developed an extremely strong product and design team.

“Pip and the company fully support Claire’s transition to pursue other creative endeavors and wish her all the best in her next chapter.”

Shortly after the news broke, Pip confirmed on Instagram that PE Nation is now a B Corp certified company as she announced the exciting news for the brand.

The outing comes after an interesting past week for Pip. Last week, Pip and PE Nation founder Claire Greaves officially split after more than a decade together

B Corps are companies that meet high standards of social environmental performance and transparency, and Pip detailed the two-year journey to achieving the certification.

Alongside photos of herself standing solo in front of PE Nation signs, she wrote: “PE Nation was born out of a love for an active life. A lifestyle that thrives in the outdoors of our urban coastal environment. We love connecting people and communities and shaping the way we feel and move.

‘Personally, I have a deep innate love and appreciation for our Earth and the ocean, and I understand that this ultimately sets the context for how we can live and feel good. It is from our landscape that I find great peace and inspiration on a daily basis, so naturally @penation embarked on a conscious journey to commit to honoring, respecting, and restoring the planet while still doing business.

“The path to B Corp certification has been a huge company-wide initiative over the past two years, all employees, and I couldn’t be prouder to announce this huge milestone and achievement. @penation is now a certified B Corp.

“But we know we haven’t crossed the finish line because it isn’t there. We will continue to navigate the complexities toward positive impact, we will be constantly questioned about what more we could do, and we will undoubtedly face challenges that will be difficult to overcome.

‘But we promise that we will do our utmost to commit ourselves to improvement, greater social responsibility and environmental stewardship. We can all be the change to continuous improvement @bcorporation @bcorpanz.”

Before launching PE Nation together, the pair worked together two years earlier after meeting at Australian designer Sass & Bide.

Pip and Claire then turned their luxury activewear label into an international brand sold by 600 individual retailers in 95 countries, creating a host of celebrity clients.

But last year Pip was forced to deny rumors of a falling out with Claire after her office was cleared out and turned into a ‘creative space’ following a months-long absence.

Daily Mail Australia revealed rumors were swirling that the deep friendship at the heart of the business may have crumbled after a luxury trip.

A source with knowledge of the company’s internal dealings claimed at the time: ‘Pip and Claire have had a falling out.’

Shortly after the news broke, Pip confirmed on Instagram that PE Nation is now a B Corp certified company

The source said Claire took a month off in December 2022, extended her break for another month in January and then opted for another three months of leave.

However, a PE Nation spokeswoman subsequently denied the pair had an argument and insisted they did remain ‘dedicated and collaborative business partners’.

“Claire is taking well-deserved time off and remains an important part of PE Nation,” the spokeswoman said at the time. “(She) is taking a well-deserved sabbatical for a few months.”

Claire reiterated the message when approached for comment, adding: ‘The company and Pip have both been huge supporters of my sabbatical and I am grateful to have this time off with my family.’

In December 2022, Claire announced the launch of her new luxury accommodation venture in Byron Bay called ‘Sun Ranch’.

Last year, Pip was forced to deny rumors of a falling out with Claire after her office was cleared out and turned into a ‘creative space’ following a months-long absence.

“I’m feeling really itchy and excited about the unveiling of this new project that me and my amazing friends have been working on,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“Sun Ranch is a 1970s-inspired, offbeat luxury 55-acre estate,” according to the Instagram page.

‘An ultra-chic guest house with five rooms and six epic barns. Abundant with unpretentious good times. Coming in 2023.”

Her work stoppage followed a period of turmoil in her life during which she quietly parted ways with her husband Timothy in mid-2022 after 11 years of marriage.

Nadia Bartel made sure all eyes were on her as she joined best friend Bec Judd and Melbourne socialite at Glamor on the Grid at the Albert Park race circuit on Wednesday evening, ahead of this weekend’s Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The former AFL WAG, 38, almost risked wardrobe destruction in a shimmering beige DZO dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit.

The dress barely covered her bottom thanks to the tiny skirt underlay, and dangerously close to revealing more than she bargained for.

Of course, a revealing dress requires a deep tan, and she accentuated her olive skin tone with a tan from her own tanning company Spray Aus.

She paired her daring look with sparkling stilettos from friend Lana Wilkinson’s shoe line.

Nadia will likely want to give her feet a rest after Wednesday night, after revealing her toes were sore after Dancing With The Star rehearsals.

Taking to Instagram, the fashionista shared a sneak peek of her intense training for the Channel Seven programme.

Wearing a white singlet and gray yoga pants as well as heels, Nadia filmed herself walking to a mirror in a dance studio before zooming to her feet.

“My sore little feet,” she captioned the images, tagging the official Dancing With the Stars Instagram account.

The fashion designer then shared a full-body selfie in the mirror at the same studio, tagging her dance partner for the show, Lyu Masuda.

“A day of rehearsals,” she wrote in a caption for the photo, in which the mother-of-two marveled at her very fit figure.

It comes as Nadia recently confessed that taking part in the Channel Seven hit is anything but a walk in the park.

Nadia will likely want to give her feet a rest after Wednesday night, after revealing her toes were sore after Dancing With The Star rehearsals.

“Training is a lot harder than I thought it would be and it’s been a bit of a juggle to fit it into my schedule with the boys and work, but I’m loving it,” she told the Herald Sun on Sunday. from weeks ago.

Nadia, who shares two sons with ex-husband Jimmy Bartel, further revealed what drew her to the show.

“I have always watched the show and love the passion and dedication of all the dancers,” she told the publication.

“I love dancing, especially with my boys at home, so the idea of ​​doing this show was so exciting.”

Nadia’s admission follows the official cast announcement for Dancing with the Stars 2024.

Four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune will do her best on the dance floor alongside much-loved MasterChef favorite Julie Goodwin.

They will join singer Samantha Jade, SAS Australia’s Ant Middleton, AFL legend Shane Crawford and Olympian and former senator Nova Peris.

This year’s entrants are joined by comedian Nikki Osborne, James Stewart from Home and Away, presenter Adam Dovile from Better Homes and Gardens and chef Hayden Quinn.

Earlier this month it was revealed that AFL legend Ben Cousins ​​will also be among the stars taking to the dance floor.

The 45-year-old football star, who has spent the last few years rebuilding his life after a fall from grace, explained that part of his redemption arc will include reality TV.

Ben turned down shows like SAS Australia but agreed to do Dancing With The Stars this year, explaining that focusing on a new challenge would help him rebuild his life.

This year’s stars are currently rehearsing.

NATIONAL Grid plans to reduce the number of after-hours repairs to homes without power because it is cheaper to pay the fines.

The company, which made £5 billion in profits last year, justifies the move by saying such work can be noisy and disruptive.

National Grid, which is responsible for power connections to homes, currently says an employee will arrive within three hours if notified between 7am and 7pm on weekdays, or between 9am and 5pm on weekends.

If a customer is not present, he will be fined €35 ​​per customer.

And if a home is locked for more than 12 hours, customers will have to pay a £90 fine.

But sources claim the company has calculated that the fines could be cheaper than paying staff wages outside office hours.

A source said: “This means some customers will stay out of supplies all night just to save money.

“In the past, the company always put the customer first over costs, but now it’s all about cost savings. It’s wrong.”

A spokesperson for National Grid said: “We are committed to providing excellent customer service and know that any disruption to our service is unacceptable.

“We have publicly committed to minimizing any disruption caused by unplanned power outages – and take this commitment very seriously. Especially for the more vulnerable customers in our Priority Services Register.

“Conducting overnight roadworks to restore power can be noisy and disruptive, so we are considering whether in a small number of circumstances it would be better overall customer service to postpone these repair works until the following morning. No decision has been made.

“If we make this change, it will be on a trial basis, and we will continue to deliver on our commitment to work to restore power to customers within 12 hours under the Guaranteed Standards of Performance program.”

Experts said the coming cold wouldn't last as long as 2021's freeze, but could resemble the 2022 conditions known as Winter storm Elliot. Snow and ice were not expected to have a major impact on the state next week, officials said. Temperatures in Amarillo and the teens in Austin and Dallas are forecast to reach lows in the single digits overnight.

The arrival of a third strong winter storm in four years is unusual. If temperatures in Houston fall as low as they did at one point last winter, into the teens, it would be the first time in decades the city has experienced such frequent bouts of extreme cold, state climatologist John Nielsen said. Gammon. At the same time, he added, the state has generally seen an upward trend in the coldest temperature of the year.

Officials have projected confidence. “ERCOT expects to have sufficient supply to meet demand as cold weather hits the state next week,” said Ellie Breed, spokeswoman for the state Utilities Commission.

Still, the Texans have prepared. Mark Marrow, 52, a landscaper in Houston, went to a Home Depot early Thursday to buy supplies. “I did my aunt's house. I've done some clients' houses,” he said. “The problem is that there are so many people who are not from here, so they don't know how to prepare.”

During the winter weather of 2021, Mr Milton, the food truck owner, said he was able to continue serving despite the grid outages.

“It's almost embarrassing to say it was good for business, but honestly, it was,” says 41-year-old Milton. He said he was ready for something similar next week, just in case. “I am not dependent on the energy company for my gas, so I can always rock 'n' roll.”

Kylie Minogue looked raring to go on Saturday as she posed at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit ahead of the F1 Grand Prix.

The Dutchman only ultimately took victory on lap 37 of 50 when he passed Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari in a haze of increasing inevitability.

His win comes after the 26-year-old criticized the Las Vegas event ahead of the race, saying: ‘It’s 99 percent show and one percent sporting event.

‘I just stood there and looked like a clown. I think they (F1) are still making money whether I like it or not. So it’s not my fault. But I’m not going to fake it.

‘I give my opinion on positive and negative things. That’s just how I am. And you know, some people like the show a little more. I don’t like it at all.

“I grew up looking at the performance side of things. And that’s how I see it too. I like being in Vegas, but not so much for racing.”

Champion! The highly anticipated final race was won by Max Verstappen, marking his 18th victory of the 2023 season
