Others said “So glad to see you happy” and “Screaming, crying, throwing up, been here for a long while and I just couldn’t be happy for you Millie! You never settled and it got sooo much better!”

Elder-Holmes was previously in a relationship with Head Hunters gang member Connor Morris, who was killed with a sickle by Michael Murray in August 2014.

Last year she said the convicted murderer had re-traumatised her after he went before a parole board for an early release, which was denied.

More recently, the influencer was ordered to pay a $5000 fine by Internal Affairs for promoting offshore casinos.

Paki was recently spotted at the opening of Koroneihana 2025, where he appeared with a new, full-face tā moko with the Māori Queen Te Arikinui Kuini Ngā wai hono I te pō.

Paki is the second eldest of the late King Tuheitia’s children and donated a kidney to his father in November 2016.

In 2014, Paki was convicted of drink-driving after initially being discharged at Auckland District Court on charges of burglary, theft and drink-driving.

He was sentenced in 2020 for punching his then-girlfriend in the head several times, leaving her with a black eye.

The assault was alcohol-fuelled and happened while his and his partner’s baby slept next to her.

He was sentenced at Hamilton District Court and received 100 hours community work and 18 months of intensive supervision after pleading guilty to one charge of assault with intent to injure.
