When Emma Watkins and Lachy Gillespie announced the end of their marriage in August, it was also news to the other members of The Wiggles.

The couple, whose decision to part ways happened “organically” over the course of eight months, had wanted to keep their break up secret until the end of the year.

But then 28-year-old Emma got a phone call.

“When the media first called, I think initially I thought, ‘Oh, no. They don’t really know what’s going on,'” she said. “And then as the hours kept going by I kept getting more calls and I thought, ‘Oh, OK. I think people know more than we thought they did.'”

The news of their break up had been leaked to the media, forcing the couple to release a statement to Instagram.

Emma told the program that while the Australian media doubts the affection she shares with Lachy, “

The episode of Australian Story, titled The Show Must Go On, also focused on Emma’s health struggles with endometriosis.

Then one day in the studio, Emma started to feel “incredibly sick,” and ended up collapsing.

Despite being encouraged by family, friends and her fellow performers to see a doctor, Emma continued to put it off. When she eventually did see a specialist, Dr Jason Abbott, it was “crystal clear she had endometriosis”.

She underwent surgery in April, having to pull out of a number of Wiggles shows.

Emma is now back on stage with The Wiggles, and says Lachy has been “so supportive”.

So it seems like ‘break up registries’ are a thing… and we don’t know how we feel.
