They lived in the US for a number of years but then returned to Australia. Rebecca previously told TV Week: “It’s been really, really nice just to ground ourselves and be back home. I finally have a garden – I’ve been wanting to have a vegetable garden for so long. So we’re literally putting down roots back home and that has been very soothing for the soul.”
Describing the time they lived abroad, she said: “It was really powerful to have someone who was your anchor and your home base, because it can be a very difficult experience, moving away from everything you’ve ever known. Our industry has a lot of pressure and a lot of highs and a lot of lows. It can be very lonely.”
