Celeste Barber has broken her silence on her split from her husband of more than 20 years, thanking fans for their \u201clovely messages\u201d amid the challenging period.<\/p>\n
The Australian comedian, 43, shared a video to her Instagram Stories promoting a mascara by makeup brand Booie, declaring at the top that \u201cwe\u2019re going to talk about mascara and that\u2019s all we\u2019re going to talk about. How great this mascara is\u201d.<\/p>\n
However, at the end of the clip, she quickly lowered her voice and added: \u201cThank you for all your lovely messages. I really appreciate it, thank you.\u201d <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It comes after her 52-year-old former partner took to social media last month to announce the news with a \u201cheavy heart\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe past few months have been incredibly challenging and deeply heartbreaking for us both,\u201d Robin started.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter much reflection, the decision has been made to separate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is still love and respect between us, but sadly we are at capacity and have come to recognise we may want for different things.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur priority remains our children and their wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n
A 21-year-old Barber was working as a bartender at a pub in Sydney\u2019s Balmain back in 2006 when she met father-of-two Robin, who was 30 at the time.<\/p>\n
They married in Bali in 2013 and now share two sons, Lou and Buddy.<\/p>\n
Barber gushed about Robin in The Australian Women\u2019s Weekly back in 2020, saying she was \u201cobsessed\u201d with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the most fantastic human being in the whole land. I\u2019m just obsessed with him,\u201d Barber said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe takes it all in his stride and he\u2019s really supportive and excited by how well I\u2019m doing, because he knows what I do really makes up who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barber had previously shared glimpses of their life together online, in which she often referred to him as the \u201chot husband\u201d and \u201cM\u0101ori Adonis\u201d.<\/p>\n
She also opened up about navigating her fame with Robin by her side during an interview with Mamamia<\/a>\u2019s No Filter podcast<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n \u201cI could do this on my own, but I have no interest in doing it on my own,\u201d Barber explained.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to have the biggest house on the tallest hill and live on it alone. I want it to be with him.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that the pair had a \u201cdesperate love for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI love him on a cellular level \u2026 It terrifies me and it infuriates me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celeste Barber has broken her silence on her split from her husband of more than 20 years, thanking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-531546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
