But on Sunday, Russell Crowe<\/a> proved he is still is on very good terms with his ex-wife as they reunited for a music gig at Sydney<\/a>‘s Enmore Theatre.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old actress appeared as a ‘guest performer’ as part of a one-off show which was headlined by Russell’s band, Indoor Garden Party.<\/p>\n

Wowing concertgoers in a lacy black long-sleeve top and trousers, Danielle performed a solo set to promote her new single Regenerate.<\/p>\n

She styled her blonde curls with silver and diamant\u00e9 pins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a touch of added drama, the pop singer wore a mask of stars and sparkles under her eyes.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old former actress appeared as a ‘guest performer’ as part of a one-off show which was headlined by Russell’s band, Indoor Garden Party\u00a0<\/p>\n

Danielle delivered a dynamic performance, accompanied by backup dancers in sleek black costumes\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later, Russell, 61, hit the stage as frontman for his group .<\/p>\n

With his greying hair slicked back, the Oscar-winner wore a dark suit for the show, which he paired with a satin shirt.<\/p>\n

During the gospel-and rock-inspired set, the Beautiful Mind star took the lead on vocals and guitar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lineup also featured US singer Brake, Australian country star Troy Cassar-Daley, industry icon Marcia Hines, and Irish performer Lorraine O’Reill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This comes after Danielle recently spoke about the guilt she felt following her 2018 divorce from Russell Crowe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actress and musician opened up about her high-profile split from the star after 15 years on the Stellar podcast Something To Talk About earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s really sad breaking up with somebody that you’ve known for so long, that you’ve had children with,’ the 56-year-old confessed to podcast host Sarrah Le Marquand.<\/p>\n

‘Me kind of breaking up the family \u2013 and it felt very much like I was driving that \u2013 so I had to deal with my almost sense of guilt that I was fracturing the family, but obviously I did it for a number of reasons and I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t think it needed to happen.’<\/p>\n

Danielle added that although she and Russell now enjoy a strong friendship while co-parenting their sons Charlie, 22, and Tennyson, 19<\/a>, the journey after divorce wasn\u2019t without its challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In September, the pair announced they would be reuniting for Saturday’s show.<\/p>\n

She shared that music was the bond that first brought them together, and they often performed when their sons were young.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Revisiting that musical bond for this performance has been an emotional and nostalgic experience for Danielle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
