We hope you enjoy this episode of The Australian Women's Weekly Love Stories:

Ed Kavalee still remembers the exact moment he fell for his wife, and it happened on his TV screen, watching her compete as Angel on Gladiators.

In this episode, Tiff Hall and Ed Kavalee sit down with Tiffany Dunk (or podcast Tiff as Ed calls her) to talk about how a TV crush turned into an 18-year love story, including the radio interview Ed engineered just to meet her, the moment he got cold feet six months in, and the blender that won her back.

They also open up about becoming parents, Ed's own childhood without a father in the picture, and how that's shaped the kind of dad he wants to be. Plus, Tiff talks candidly about rebuilding her relationship with her body after having kids, and why she built a business helping other women do the same.

Moments you’ll hear:

• The night Ed first saw "Angel" on Gladiators, and his friend's prediction
• The interview Ed engineered just to meet her (and the second one he asked for)
• Their first date, and the book Ed used to test her sense of humour
• The moment Ed got cold feet, and the gift that won Tiff back
• Their engagement story – including a secretly pre-planned visit to a very famous jewellery store
• Ed opening up about growing up without a dad, and what it means to him now
• Tiff's journey to rebuilding her relationship with her body after having kids

We hope you enjoy this episode of The Australian Women's Weekly Love Stories:

Before Big Little Lies became a global phenomenon, Liane and Jaclyn Moriarty were just two sisters filling exercise books for pocket money, dreaming of becoming writers.

In this episode, Liane and Jaclyn sit down with Tiffany Dunk to talk about the family that shaped them: a mother who fostered more than 50 babies, a father who paid them to write, and the safety of growing up as two of six kids who loved books more than television.

They open up about the year Jaclyn was published first, the private rage Liane admits she felt, and what it took for her to finally sit down and write her own first novel.

Plus, they reflect on the whirlwind of Big Little Lies becoming a Hollywood sensation, the sequel Big Little Truths, writing a role for Meryl Streep, and Jaclyn's newest release, Time Travel for Beginners.

Moments you’ll hear:

• Growing up as two of six kids, and their mum who fostered more than 50 babies
• Their dad’s pocket-money scheme, and the story that started it all
• The rage Liane felt when Jaclyn was published first, and who it was really aimed at
• Reading Jaclyn’s first manuscript, and the years it took to write her own
• The moment Big Little Lies became a Hollywood sensation
• Writing a role for Meryl Streep, and the text that made it real
• What they'd write for each other, if they could
