Things are heating up between Channing Tatum and Aussie model Inka Williams.
The couple are currently enjoying a romantic European getaway, with Williams sharing a cheeky photo to Instagram of her stomach covered in what appeared to be bite marks, followed by a shot of her cosied up with Tatum.
The 25-year-old posted rare snaps of her Hollywood beau as they cruised around on a luxury yacht.
In one picture, Williams rests her hand on Tatum’s shoulder while he lounges on the deck.
The next day, while Williams napped Tatum set off on a solo hike.
In one reel, the Hollywood star tells her, “This looks like the best I can do for you” as they beached the paddle board onto the rocks.
“Thanks baby, this looks like my spot,” she replies.
In another clip, she wishes her beau goodbye as he paddled away on the board.
“I love you,” she calls after him.
Williams then shared a snap of her beachside set-up, which included a pool float covered with a towel under the trees.
The pair had kept their relationship fairly low-key until April, when Williams confirmed their romance with a tribute for Channing’s 45th birthday.
“Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest, most gorgeous human ever,” she wrote.
“Merci for making life beautiful and fun. Jtm trop fort,” she added — French slang for “I love you heaps.”
Born in Melbourne and raised in Bali, Williams balances a successful modelling career with running her own fashion label, SheIs I.
MOSMAN IN A PICKLEBALL
Dynamic tech entrepreneur Robin Khuda has secured final permissions for his $13.76m new Mosman home, with an 11th-hour addition of a pickleball court.
Mosman Council’s planning panel approved the pickleball proposal unanimously earlier this month, despite objections from neighbours John and Jennifer Harvey.
The neighbours referenced overseas studies recommending minimum setbacks for pickleball courts of up to 15m in residential settings, given the “noise generated is typically 50 per cent higher than that generated by a tennis court.”
The neighbours noted Khuda’s 13.4m by 6.1m pickleball court will be located 10m from their main indoor living areas.
The application exposed that Mosman municipality does not have planning controls for pickleball courts in residential settings.
But it decided the court usage be restricted to between 7am and 8pm Monday to Saturday, and from 8am to 8pm on Sundays and public holidays without lighting.
AirTrunk founder Khuda and his wife Melea bought the three-title 2100sq m Balmoral Ave consolidation, paying $19.5m mid-2021 for a double block and then adding the neighbouring property six months later for $11m.
They are building a three-level MHN Design Union-designed mansion on Balmoral slopes amid Fifth Season Landscapes.
Earlier this month Khuda paid $32m for a development site elsewhere in Mosman, where he is planning his next luxury residential apartment project.
MOOKHEY’S BUDGET BOO-BOO
Treasurer Daniel Mookhey could never be accused of being caught short on detail.
Wearing the label of the NSW government’s “peak geek” as a badge of honour, the “fiscal rectitude” enthusiast is famous for being scrupulous with his numbers.
That is until Tuesday, the very day when the Treasurer handed down his third – and perhaps most boring – budget.
On Mookhey’s big day, he somehow ended up reading from the wrong books, under questioning from his Opposition counterpart.
It turns out that Mookhey had accidentally taken a prop version of Budget 2025-26 into parliament’s question time, instead of the real thing.
It was all very embarrassing for Mookhey, especially when the Opposition pointed out he had got his own numbers wrong.
The Treasurer was forced to return to the chamber on Wednesday to clean up his mistake.
He said that of 20 copies of this year’s budget in his office, he picked up last year’s books that had been given a fake 2025-26 cover.
“Each year, we do have to produce on a Monday a version of the budget for people to film, and it happens to include last year’s,” he bashfully conceded when quizzed about why his numbers were wrong.
“You got me!”
KATTER PUSHES FOR FORTRESS
We’re all familiar with Donald Trump’s years-long efforts to “build the wall”, but now Australia’s most-quotable politician has joined in with a similar call.
Far North Queensland MP Bob Katter this week said, with the seeming threat of World War III breaking out amid conflict in bthe Middle East, that Australia had to build its own style of wall.
Invoking the threat of Australia being surrounded by a “flotilla of Chinese warships”, veteran politician Katter said money had to be pumped into a “fortress wall”.
“If Australia (is) in a situation that is now arising is to stand and defend itself, then we need a fortress wall,” Katter said.
“Ever since man’s been man, he’s been putting palisades around … fire at the mouth of the cave.
“A fortress wall in our day and age (is) missiles and rockets.”
“That makes (a) very, very formidable barrier and protection for our nation”.
Keep an eye on the next federal budget to see if Katter gets his wish.
SYDNEY BIKIE’S DUBAI ARREST
Andre Kallita, a former Commachero who was allegedly the target of a plot to kill him outside a Sydney police station, has been arrested in Dubai.
A good mate of murdered Sydney gangster Alen Moradian, Kallita wisely left the country after being released from jail knowing there was still a price on his head.
His addiction to cocaine was well documented in various court appearances and appears not to have been addressed, with Kallita allegedly in possession of 20 grams of coke when he was arrested at a hotel in Dubai.
Details of what happens next are a mystery, with the expectation he will be kicked out of the country — which means he could land back in his birthplace, Iraq.
MORE LABOR STAFF EXIT LEFT
Last week our friends at the Sunday Telegraph’s Sauce column reported on an array of Labor staffer exits in Canberra.
And now there are even more, including one of Anthony Albanese’s most high-profile hires.
Former Guardian editor and respected political reporter turned media adviser Katherine Murphy, or Murpharoo, was hired by Albanese at the start of 2024.
The decision to hire Murphy prompted a petty swipe from then opposition leader Peter Dutton who said “I am genuinely shocked to see Murpharoo take up a spot to now be officially running lines for Labor”.
She joins former Channel 10 reporter Stela Todorvich who is also leaving Albanese’s office to pursue a private sector opportunity in Sydney.
Other high-profile departures include Caitlin Raper from Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s office.
It comes as the Prime Minister’s Office this week confirmed they would be slashing staffers across all political lines, including in their own ranks, after just weeks ago denying the PM’s chief of staff Tim Gartrell was taking an axe to staffing levels when contacted by The Telegraph.
At the time, Unleashed was told there would be no cuts to staffing levels.
It’s understood most, if not all, the departures from Labor’s ranks are voluntary.
