Kidman

SANDRA Bullock has shown off her new tattoo after her partner’s sad death, as she wowed on the red carpet for the premiere of Practical Magic 2.

Last night, Sandra, 62, and co-star Nicole Kidman, 59, both looked incredible at the star-studded screening in London for the hotly-anticipated sequel to the 90s classic film.

But one thing that was noticeable on the much-loved actress’ shoulder was a small tattoo that read: “L B”

Although Sandra is yet to comment on her new inking, it is understood that the “L” stands for her two children – son Louis, 16, and daughter Laila, 12.

While the “B” is believed to be a tribute to her late partner Bryan Randall who died in 2023 at 57, following a three year battle with ALS – the most common form of motor neurone disease.

Sandra first met Bryan, who was a model-turned-photographer, when he photographed her son Louis’ birthday back in 2015.

Speaking two years before his sad death, the actress told Red Table Talk: “I found the love of my life.

“We share two beautiful children – three children, [Bryan’s] older daughter. It’s the best thing ever.”

The Hollywood star also has another small tattoo, which she had inked over her heart in tribute to her late mum.

Sandra was joined by her Practical Magic 2 co-star Nicole on the red carpet last night.

The pair both looked glamourous as they posed together for photos at the film‘s premiere in London’s Leicester Square.

Sandra and Nicole also showed off their timeless good looks, as they appeared to have not aged a day since the first film, almost 30 years ago.

Practical Magic originally came out in 1998, and was a huge film for both Sandra and Nicole.

Based on the novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman, the film follows the life of two witch sisters – Sally and Gillian Owens – who are bound by a curse that prevents them from finding forever love.

The new film, which sees Sandra and Nicole reprise their leading roles, picks up from the last one, and this time sees Sally’s daughters affected by the curse.

Practical Magic 2 hits cinemas on September 11 in the UK.

If you’re looking for a new binge watch this autumn, than ITV have exciting news for you

ITVX is set to welcome a bestselling thriller, and viewers will be able to stream the series for free.

ITV has lined up an adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s 2018 bestselling thriller Nine Perfect Strangers that stars a stellar cast.

The chilling psychological series from Hulu and Amazon Prime Video tells the story of nine strangers from different backgrounds who attend a wellness centre named Tranquillum House.

The group of stressed-out city dwellers plan to spend 10 days at the retreat to find a better way of living, and each has a unique, sometimes heartbreaking, background. However, the more time they spend at the remote resort, the more they realise that nothing is as it seems.

As the group begins their healing journey, they are watched over by the mysterious host, Marsha Dmitrichenko, played by Nicole Kidman, who is on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies.

The eight-part drama is full of suspense, punctuated by lighter comedic moments, and explores how far people will go to confront their personal demons on their journey of self-improvement.

Joining Kidman in the series is a star-studded cast, including Melissa McCarthy, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, Bobby Cannavale, Regina Hall, Samara Weaving, Melvin Gregg, Asher Keddie, and Grace Van Patten, who all play the strangers on the retreat.

Nine Perfect Strangers originally aired on HULU and Prime Video in 2021, and will arrive on ITVX on Sunday, September 27.

Since its launch, fans have been taking to Rotten Tomatoes to praise the series, with one person calling it: “Healing, great acting, profound and meaningful.”

A second stated: “One of the best TV shows I have ever watched really moved me”, while a third chimed in: “Recommended, not bad!”

“Well, I didn’t know what to expect when I started the show, but it amazes, and it pushes the envelope! Can’t say enough good things about the acting and the story!!! Keep you guessing every step of the way”, shared one fan.

“The story was brilliant, the cinema beautiful, and I really liked the acting. Highly recommend!”, added another.

One viewer confessed: “I loved every single bit of it. The depth of the characters, the lesson in its story. A completely fresh take on ‘you’re the director of your own life’. A take so new and strong it smashes in and leaves you teary-eyed and inspired.”

Nine Perfect Strangers will stream on ITVX from Sunday, 27 September
