Skye Wheatley was positively radiant as she departed Sydney Airport alongside her partner Lachlan Waugh last week, marking a fresh chapter for the couple who have recently decided to reconcile following a public breakup. The former Big Brother contestant, aged 32, appeared both content and at ease as the pair embarked on their journey with their two young sons in tow.
Stylish Airport Appearance
The prominent influencer showcased a deep, sun-kissed tan, accentuated by a fashionable halterneck top that revealed her midriff, paired elegantly with printed, flowing trousers. Her ensemble was carefully accessorised with a luxurious Louis Vuitton handbag, a delicate pearl necklace, and a pair of chic sunglasses, completing a polished travel look.
Skye styled her signature platinum blonde hair in a neat bun and wore a full face of makeup, exuding confidence. She managed several bags while Lachlan tenderly carried one of their sleepy sons, presenting a picture of familial harmony.
Lachlan's Complementary Style
Meanwhile, Lachlan Waugh looked equally bronzed and relaxed, dressed in a crisp white linen shirt combined with cream-coloured trousers. His casual yet sophisticated attire complemented Skye's vibrant outfit, highlighting their coordinated style as a couple.
Confirming the Reconciliation
Last week, Skye officially confirmed via social media that she and Lachlan have rekindled their relationship, following their announced separation in October. The podcaster shared a heartfelt clip on Monday featuring herself and Lachlan sharing a tender embrace while celebrating on a boat, which quickly garnered supportive comments from friends and fellow influencers.
Emilee Hembrow enthusiastically commented, 'Yay!!! Love you two,' while influencer Sarah's Day added, 'So proud of you guys.' This public affirmation marks a significant turnaround from their previous stance.
Reflecting on the Split
In October, Skye had confirmed the couple's official split after seven years together, revealing on her Nova Podcast, Skye & Callum, that they were taking a break while continuing to co-parent their sons, six-year-old Forest and four-year-old Bear. Speaking alongside co-host and Love Island alumnus Callum Hole, she admitted that while they had experienced 'little breaks' in the past, this separation was the longest they had endured.
'You heard it here first. There has been a breakup, but then we've been co-parenting,' Skye confessed during the podcast. She elaborated that the pressures of work, raising young children, managing a home renovation, and running their own business had strained their relationship, making it 'very hard to understand each other sometimes.'
Skye explained, 'We'll usually have little breaks so we can just reset, then we usually come back. But this has definitely been the longest co-parenting split slash break we've ever had.' Emotionally, she became tearful while admitting that this period represented the closest they had come to permanently ending their relationship.
Navigating Co-Parenting Challenges
The reality star discussed the complexities of navigating a split while still sharing a home and raising their children together. 'We were pretty much cold turkey. We'd only contact each other if we needed to chat about the kids or whatever. But it was hard because we were still living under the same roof,' she revealed, highlighting the practical difficulties they faced.
Rumours and Speculation
Speculation about troubles in their relationship began circulating as early as September, when attentive followers noticed Skye had not posted about Lachlan for over two months. The situation intensified during an Instagram Live session, where Skye responded cryptically to a fan's question about whether Lachlan had cheated, replying, 'I don't know... maybe.' This comment, from the winner of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, fuelled further public curiosity about their private struggles.
Now, with their reconciliation publicly acknowledged and visually demonstrated through their united airport departure, Skye Wheatley and Lachlan Waugh appear to have overcome these challenges, embarking on a renewed journey together as a family.
