BACHIES BACK WITH THEIR EXES!

The death of the actor’s dog Mighty is causing a big rift with his pregnant partner

-

They say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone – and in Jake Ellis and Timm Hanly’s case, Bachelor In Paradise made them go running back to their exes! Despite being two of the most eligible Bachelors on the show, Jake, 33, and Timm, 27, were seen canoodling with their exes recently – and had no qualms about being affectiona­te in public, either! In Melbourne, Timm was seen kissing ex-girlfriend Briana de la Motte as they hung out on the balcony of their home before their home before walking hand in hand to get food, while Jake was spotted leaving his home on the Gold Coast, which he is believed to be sharing with his ex, 2016 Bachelor star Megan Marx! Jake sensationa­lly quit the show last week after revealing he wanted to have another go at his romance with Megan. While he said it was still early days, the pictures of them looking very close as they left their home prove that the couple are very much on – again!

It should be the most exciting times of their lives, but the past fortnight has not been a good one for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. Despite expecting their first child – a daughter – together any day now, friends close to the engaged pair say they are struggling to gloss over the fact that “they are two very different people”.

The fact was starkly highlighte­d when Orlando endured a deeply distressin­g incident recently.

The Lord Of The Rings star, 43, took to Instagram earlier this month to tell fans that his tiny brown poodle Mighty was missing in Montecito, California. ornia. Sadly, he has since revealed that at Mighty has died.

Orlando, who offered a $US5000 5000 reward and even posted his own wn phone number appealing for informatio­n, was spotted searching ching the neighbourh­ood and handing ng out missing dog flyers along with th his heavily pregnant 35-year-old ld fiancee. However, sources say that was where the singer’s

support ap appeared to end.

“Katy looked loo like she didn’t want to be there,” says an onlooker. “She must be very uncomforta­ble uncomfort right now this close to birth, but she ha had this air of boredom about her.” Later tha that week, Orlando posted an emotional note to Instagram, saying, “I don’t recall rec a time in my life where I’ve been broken broke so wide open. The rawness I have felt o over these past few days and sleepless sleeple nights at the idea of my little man being lost and scared, with me being bein unable to do anything to protect him, him is a waking nightmare. I feel powerless... pow Cherish the moments we share with the ones we love because bec nothing is promised... I am a ad devoted father & partner, still, the there is a reason why they call the them ‘man’s best friend’. I miss him.”

DIFFERENT DI CONNECTION

In stark contrast, Katy, who didn’t sha share informatio­n to help with Mig Mighty’s safe return aside from com commenting “I love you” und underneath his emotional plea, was posti posting selfies from her bathroom. “Th “Their friends have noticed that there h hasn’t been a lot of social media interact interactio­n between Katy and Orlando at all late lately and what she does say seems forced,” says s a source.

The problem, pro says an insider, is that Katy has a always been secretly jealous of Orlando’s b bond with his dog. “Orland “Orlando treated Mighty like a human and lavish lavished a lot more attention on him than he do does on Katy, which she has never been fond of,” says a source. “Even the fact th that to Orlando l chose to get a tattoo of his name in the days after his death made her secretly feel very down in the dumps. She can’t help but feel that Mighty’s escape, and now his sad passing, is overshadow­ing the final days of her pregnancy when she needs her man the most.”

Katy has spoken in the past about how “terrified” she is of becoming a mother for the first time, and there have been reports that Orlando, who shares nine-yea nine-year-old son Flynn with his h Aussie model ex Miranda Kerr, w wasn’t taking her f fears seriously. “He’s already had a kid, so knows exactly what to expect, while Katy is feeling like a classic first-time mum and really nervous,” says a source. “At times she has felt that Orlando hasn’t prioritise­d being there for her.”

The problem, says a friend, is that they have always been on “totally different wavelength­s.” “Orly is your classic British lad who keeps a lot to himself, and aside from the missing Mighty situation, usually very much keeps calm and carries on. Whereas Katy has always been a bit of a rollercoas­ter emotionall­y,” says a source.

“Friends have often worried if getting married is truly right for them. A lot of people think they wouldn’t have lasted if it weren’t for the fact that Katy fell pregnant. The next couple of months, when the baby arrives, will be very telling for them.”

‘Orlando lavished a lot more attention on him than he does on Katy’

Despite Australian Ninja Warrior star Cian Maciejewsk­i missing out on being crowned a winner last season, , the fierce competitor has still managed to win big!

Last year, the athlete married her soulmate and fellow Ninja competitor Tiarna Grzona, and now the pair tell Woman’s Day, they’re ready for a baby!

“The first year of marriage has been amazing!” Cian excitedly declares. “We had our honeymoon over in China, where we got some breathtaki­ng photos taken on top of the Great Wall of China in our wedding dresses,” she says of the happy memory.

“It is going g g to sound so damn cliche but I mean it when I say this, ‘When you meet someone who you feel was truly made for you... it brings a whole new perspectiv­e to your life and life becomes that much more magical.’” g

The fitness fanatic lovebirds fell for each other when they were training, and the rest, as they say, is history!

With the prospect of becoming Australia’s first female Ninja Warrior at stake, Cian says she’s more prepared than ever, and a $400,000 cash prize will certainly be a welcome addition. “Tiarna and I are ready to start a little family, and winning any amount of money y would d be so helpful throughout the IVF process,” reveals Cian.

“It is not a cheap process,s process, b but t it will ill be worth every penny, even en better if it is $400,000 $40 – that’s at’s a crazy good cot!” co

The 32-year-old 32-year-o says she e and her wife have ha never been more ready read to fulfil their lifelong dream dr of having a fam family.

“We have alw always wanted d to be mothers,” Cian tells, but admits she’s not as keen n about being pre pregnant.

“I have never seen myself elf being the pregn pregnant one, and nd trust me, growing growin up that was so confusing to understand. nd. However, it all makes m sense when you truly learn who you are as a human. human Tiarna is a natural carer an and nurturer, and craves that maternal mate feeling.

“For us, we just ju need to wait for when we have hav enough funds to start th the process to become mothers mother and creating a new beautiful life.”

Meanwhile, fans can definitely expe expect the mums to be raising a Ninja- obsessed baby! “I have a already started imagining wha what our garage is

‘There will be obstacles for our little ones to play on!’

going to look like. There will be obstacles hanging from every nook and cranny for the little ones to play on!” says Cian. “I cannot wait for what [the future] has to offer Tiarna, myself and our little family-to-be.”
