Chloe Lee Longhetti
Chloe Lee Longhetti is a senior entertainment and lifestyle journalist for Nine who focuses on celebrity coverage, exclusive interviews and personality‑driven features across its digital brands. Her work centres on turning fast‑moving celebrity and pop‑culture stories into detailed pieces that foreground the subject’s own voice, whether she is reporting on reality stars, royals or fan communities.
Celebrity news and reality television
Longhetti’s core day‑to‑day work sits in celebrity news, with a particular focus on reality television figures, influencers and their personal lives. Her coverage of fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow’s emotionally charged comments on her divorce from Matt Zukowksi shows how she gravitates to stories where public figures speak candidly about relationships and family.[user] She writes in a fast digital style that keeps pace with the entertainment cycle while still pulling out the details that matter to fans, such as rare public statements, social media moments and changes in high‑profile relationships.
Across Nine’s entertainment verticals she regularly covers celebrity headlines, new projects and the off‑screen dynamics of television and streaming personalities, with an emphasis on accessibility and clear narrative.
Exclusive interviews and profiles
Longhetti specialises in in‑depth and exclusive interviews with well‑known figures, and this interview‑driven approach is a defining feature of her work. Over more than a decade in media she has spoken with a wide range of stars, including Emma Bunton and Melanie C from the Spice Girls, Miranda Kerr, Danielle Spencer, Martha Stewart, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Heidi Montag and Tyra Banks.
Her profiles tend to centre the subject’s own words, presenting extended quotes and personal anecdotes rather than relying on second‑hand commentary. She has extensive experience covering premieres, junkets and red carpets, using those access points to produce pieces that mix event reporting with character‑focused storytelling.
In Nine’s lifestyle environment she works as both a Celebrity Producer and senior journalist, which positions her to originate interview ideas and shape how major entertainment personalities appear across 9Honey and other verticals.
Royals, nostalgia and fan culture
Alongside contemporary celebrity news, Longhetti reports regularly on royal stories and nostalgia‑driven pop culture that speak to devoted fan communities.
For Nine she has written first‑person and feature work about encounters with the British royal family, drawing on personal experience to illuminate how royal tours intersect with everyday lives. Her 9Honey piece on whether Xena and Gabrielle were a couple in the classic series “Xena: Warrior Princess” shows her interest in revisiting long‑running debates inside television fandom and treating them as serious entertainment subjects. This strand of her coverage links older series, legacy stars and royal narratives to present‑day audiences, often using anniversaries, reboots or viral online conversations as a hook. The result is a body of work that moves beyond simple nostalgia to examine how fans read relationships and representation in the shows they love.
Travel and lifestyle coverage
Longhetti also contributes to Nine’s travel and lifestyle verticals, extending her entertainment lens into destination and experience reporting. Her 9Travel coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel frames the event through the city itself, highlighting how hundreds of thousands of visitors interact with the host location and turning a music broadcast into a travel story.
She writes about travel, fashion, consumer topics and broader lifestyle trends, often tying them back to major cultural events, celebrity tie‑ins or internationally watched broadcasts. Earlier in her career she built deep experience in digital showbusiness reporting at large tabloid outlets, including work on Fleetwood Mac and other music legends, which underpins her ability to link entertainment history with contemporary lifestyle angles.
Across these pieces, she maintains a clear, straightforward style that keeps the focus on the experience - whether that is exploring a Eurovision city, revisiting a classic band or following a royal visit - rather than on herself.
Career background and digital focus
Longhetti joined Nine in August 2023 and brings more than ten years of experience in fast‑paced digital media to her current role.
She began as a cadet at The Daily Telegraph before moving to Daily Mail Australia in 2015, where she spent eight years and became an assistant showbusiness editor while also working in MailOnline’s London office. That background in high‑volume, breaking entertainment coverage informs her present work, but at Nine she leans more heavily into longer‑form interviews, features and lifestyle pieces that give subjects space to speak and readers room to follow a story.
She has strong social and digital instincts, using platforms and online trends as sources of both stories and distribution, yet her defining trait is a consistent focus on people - celebrities, royals, fans and travellers - and the narratives they share in their own words.
