    PEOPLE - Robbie Williams kauft Waterfront-Villa in Miami
    SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
    WORDS BYLINE: Hayley Chamberlain
    Robbie Williams has reportedly splurged on a £30 million waterfront mansion in Miami.
    The opulent property includes seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, a wine cellar, and its own dock leading directly to the water.
    In addition to the £30 million purchase price, he is said to have spent another £4 million on furniture, modifications, and renovations to transform it into the perfect family home.
    The purchase follows the sale of his Los Angeles mansion for £51.6 million ($65 million) in May last year, netting him a profit of £12.3 million in just over two years.
    At 51, Robbie, along with his wife Ayda Field, 46, and their four children, are preparing to move into the 19,380 sq ft property.
    The mansion also features a resort-style pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a movie room.
    Robbie enlisted the help of Miami property developer Manny Angelo Varas, known as “the billionaire’s builder,” to extend the home in Coral Gables, one of Miami’s most sought-after areas.
    Planned additions include a 2,000 sq ft guest pavilion with potential for a recording studio, as well as a floating padel court, which would be the first of its kind in a US home.
    Robbie purchased the mansion from Real Housewives of Miami star Dr. Nicole Martin and her husband, Anthony Lopez. The couple had bought it in 2022 and spent two years renovating the property, which featured on the reality TV show.
    Featuring: The property boasts a luxury resort-style pool

    PEOPLE - Robbie Williams kauft Waterfront-Villa in Miami
    SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
    WORDS BYLINE: Hayley Chamberlain
    Robbie Williams has reportedly splurged on a £30 million waterfront mansion in Miami.
    The opulent property includes seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, a wine cellar, and its own dock leading directly to the water.
    In addition to the £30 million purchase price, he is said to have spent another £4 million on furniture, modifications, and renovations to transform it into the perfect family home.
    The purchase follows the sale of his Los Angeles mansion for £51.6 million ($65 million) in May last year, netting him a profit of £12.3 million in just over two years.
    At 51, Robbie, along with his wife Ayda Field, 46, and their four children, are preparing to move into the 19,380 sq ft property.
    The mansion also features a resort-style pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a movie room.
    Robbie enlisted the help of Miami property developer Manny Angelo Varas, known as “the billionaire’s builder,” to extend the home in Coral Gables, one of Miami’s most sought-after areas.
    Planned additions include a 2,000 sq ft guest pavilion with potential for a recording studio, as well as a floating padel court, which would be the first of its kind in a US home.
    Robbie purchased the mansion from Real Housewives of Miami star Dr. Nicole Martin and her husband, Anthony Lopez. The couple had bought it in 2022 and spent two years renovating the property, which featured on the reality TV show.

    A mother jaguar and her adorable cub have been spotted in the wilds of Argentina for the first time in decades – in what conservationists are hailing as a huge leap forward for one of South America's most threatened big cats.
    Local nature guides Darío Soraire and Pablo Luna were boating down the Bermejo River on July 30th when they came across the extraordinary sight: a female jaguar and her tiny cub lounging on the riverbank in El Impenetrable National Park, Chaco Province.
    Stunning photographs show the young cub, believed to be around five months old, nestled by its mother, Nalá – a jaguar born in captivity and released into the wild just last year by conservation group Rewilding Argentina.
    The sighting marks a pivotal moment in efforts to reintroduce jaguars to the region, where female jaguars had not been seen since 1990. It’s a sign that the ambitious programme to restore Argentina’s top predator is finally bearing fruit.
    Nalá is part of a breeding initiative launched in 2019 after a lone male jaguar, named Qaramta, was tracked and collared in the park. With no females in the area, Qaramta faced a genetic dead end – until captive-bred females were introduced from the Jaguar Reintroduction Center in Iberá Park.
    Nalá was one of the first to be born through this programme and was released into the wild in August 2024. Her cub is now living proof that the jaguar might once again roam freely in this remote and rugged landscape.
    Sebastián Di Martino, Conservation Director of Rewilding Argentina, explained just how high the stakes are: “Wild jaguars are holding out in isolated pockets of Northern Argentina, but they need genetic diversity and connectivity to thrive. Creating a breeding population not only brings us one step closer to the jaguar’s recovery, it offers the blueprint to extending their comeback throughout the Gran C *** Local

    Baelie Pierce had her first sip of alcohol at the age of 13.
    By college, she was drinking daily, often showing up to class drunk.
    “I honestly don’t know how my professors didn’t notice,” says Baelie, 25, from Utah.
    “I’d drink before class, during breaks, and all night.”
    It got so bad that she missed her board exam because she was too intoxicated.
    After graduating, she drank constantly, starting with a White Claw the moment she woke up and continuing until she passed out.
    She’d visit the liquor store twice a day for 12-packs and regularly woke up in strangers’ hotel rooms.
    “I cheated on my boyfriend of six years while blackout drunk,” she confesses.
    “It’s something I’ve never admitted before, but I take full responsibility.”
    As her addiction worsened, she started calling her family in tears.
    “One day, I cried so much my eyes were swollen shut. My sisters finally realised something was seriously wrong,” says Baelie.
    Her family moved her back home, but the darkness didn’t lift.
    “I lived on the top floor of my apartment and it took everything in me not to jump off my balcony,” she says.
    “I seriously just wanted to end it all.”
    One day, after a wild weekend, Baelie made a terrifying decision. She got in her car, took off her seatbelt and floored it at 80mph, intending to crash. Miraculously, she survived.
    She was taken to the hospital where she worked registered respiratory therapist. It was a humiliating experience, she says.
    “My co-workers knew I was drunk. They knew my blood alcohol level,” says Baelie.
    “I was so lucky I didn’t get a DUI. That would have ruined my life.”
    Too drunk to be discharged, Baelie was kept overnight.
    But that night marked the start of her recovery. A nurse gave her rehab resources, and she was transferred five hours away to a psychiatric facility for five days.

    WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
    They had only been married five months and were happily making plans together.
    And when Jake started complaining about a headache, Cami Bartel thought nothing of it.
    He went to bed and the couple hoped he’d be better in the morning.
    But at 4am on October 1 2019, Cami woke up to find Jake having a seizure next to her in bed.
    “I called 911 immediately. It was surreal, almost like watching someone else’s life unravel,” says Cami, now 28.
    “One moment we were planning our future, and the next I was rushing my 27-year-old husband to hospital without knowing if he’d survive.”
    What began as a simple headache turned into a full-blown medical emergency overnight. By the time Jake was admitted, doctors were completely baffled.
    “He didn’t just have a seizure,” says Cami.
    “There was also swelling on his brain, and that really scared everyone.”
    Doctors initially suspected a severe viral or bacterial infection and began testing for everything from meningitis to West Nile virus.
    “They told me they were checking for all kinds of infections,” she says.
    “But every single test came back negative. It was like watching them search in the dark while Jake got worse.”
    With no clear answers and Jake’s condition deteriorating rapidly, doctors prepared Cami for the worst.
    “That’s when they gave me the five per cent survival rate,” she says.
    “They assumed it had to be some virus they just couldn’t identify, but they weren’t even considering anything beyond that.
    “I was 22, sitting there, trying to process that my husband, who had been healthy just hours earlier, might not make it through the night.”
    But Jake, now 32, defied the odds. After two weeks in hospital, he was discharged. However the nightmare was far from over. No one could explain what had happened or why.
    “We went home with no diagnosis, just this overwhelming sense of fear mixed with relief,” says Cami.

    But at 4am on October 1 2019, Cami woke up to find Jake having a seizure next to her in bed.
    “I called 911 immediately. It was surreal, almost like watching someone else’s life unravel,” says Cami, now 28.
    “One moment we were planning our future, and the next I was rushing my 27-year-old husband to hospital without knowing if he’d survive.”
    What began as a simple headache turned into a full-blown medical emergency overnight. By the time Jake was admitted, doctors were completely baffled.
    “He didn’t just have a seizure,” says Cami.
    “There was also swelling on his brain, and that really scared everyone.”
    Doctors initially suspected a severe viral or bacterial infection and began testing for everything from meningitis to West Nile virus.
    “They told me they were checking for all kinds of infections,” she says.
    “But every single test came back negative. It was like watching them search in the dark while Jake got worse.”
    With no clear answers and Jake’s condition deteriorating rapidly, doctors prepared Cami for the worst.
    “That’s when they gave me the five per cent survival rate,” she says.
    “They assumed it had to be some virus they just couldn’t identify, but they weren’t even considering anything beyond that.
    “I was 22, sitting there, trying to process that my husband, who had been healthy just hours earlier, might not make it through the night.”
    But Jake, now 32, defied the odds. After two weeks in hospital, he was discharged. However the nightmare was far from over. No one could explain what had happened or why.
    “We went home with no diagnosis, just this overwhelming sense of fear mixed with relief,” says Cami.
