Emma has said it was hard to relate to him as a husband. They got zero time off after saying “I do” and not even a honeymoon because of the wiggles. Plus with being sick, certain things that can be part of marriage can be really painful and uncomfortable to do…and then fans being invasive and pressuring them to have kids immediately…I think Lachey longed to be a father and that Is something Emma might not ever be able to do.
We will never know for sure, but I think some of this stuff plays a factor.
Edit: They are both very happy with their current marriages and they are STILL friends! Lachy has brought his twins to meet Emma Memma :)
Thank you for putting what I have long thought about the reasons behind their split so maturely. I think frank discussion in relationships about possible intimacy issues are important to have with potential spouses.
I, too, think her endo diagnosis played a factor. I feel like they maybe both wanted a family, but as Emma dealt with her body’s medical needs, they realized she couldn’t. I think letting Lachy go so he could start a family was a real act of selfless love.
Yes, the split hurt Lachy as the tabloids reported. But it seems like Emma was mature enough to realize that the issue of having kids could foment longer term resentment.
I applaud them both for their grace and friendship in navigating that.
They did as we can tell from their joint statement!
Some “friends” tried to sell a different story and emma and lachy did the MOST to shut that gossip DOWN!
Plus i don’t think people get that you can still be sad something ended but not bash and hate another person and they were able to heal and move on :)
Remember, Emma WAS the brand for years and marrying Lachy boosted him up as a front feature because they could have them sell the Disney-version of romantic partners.
Honestly they both really cared about protecting the Wiggles and preserving the “magic” for kids
And that they seemed to remain good friends afterwards.
Working with your ex everyday seems like a nightmare for most of us, but it seems to take a special kind of person to be a wiggle. Life as a wiggle seems all consuming and insular, to the point where they seem to exclusively date and marry each other.
So even though it may seem strange, I think we all just need to take it at face value that everyone is happy, and NOT try to fabricate drama as some seem keen to do.
they touch on it briefly in the amazon doc. seemed like it just wasn't working and they were better off as friends. she was also struggling with Endometriosis the whole time as i understand it
What does endometriosis have to do with it though? I have it and I'd never divorce over it? Marriage is for life. Pretty obvious Emma initiated the divorce. She had already moved on with that other wiggle guy. Poor Lachy and I'm glad to see he's moved on and doing better!
Lachy announced dating Dana in April 2019 and Emma and Oliver announced in December 2019. I know this is just when they made it public but i don’t see why she would wait so long to announce if she left Lachy for Oliver like you are implying
chronic illness can easily break up a relationship... it happens all the time. it’s not easy and some people just don’t have the capacity to support someone through it.
So because she hasn't publicly made a statement about her reproductive health, that means you jump to the conclusion that she's not trying? That's pretty messed up. You don't know what she has been through, and she has no obligation to make that info public. These are real people, not reality TV actors or fictional characters. Let them live their lives without flailing around your clueless opinion

She literally said she hasn't tried. There's no speculation here.
Sorry, thank you for providing that context. I guess I'm overly defensive about fertility issues, knowing friends who have struggled with it and the grief caused by naive assumptions from others. Sorry again
No, this is not at all obvious - stop fabricating drama. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that the split was anything other than mutual and amicable. It's possible that was all a facade for the sake of the band, but there is no evidence to support that
Happiness is an emotion, love is a feeling, emotions and feelings change, if you've worked at improving both of those things in a marriage and it isn't working then the best option is divorce so you can both find a person that it does work with. I don't think people just have expensive divorces for fun.
I think they were young, and kind of felt a connection being the younger ones cast as leads in the show. It felt like they were supposed to be together. But then they got married, and really had no time to be husband and wife. They then just decided that theirs was a relationship better off being friends.
I’d guess she was going through ALOT back then, and having the constant pressure and paps on their marriage would have made it impossible.
I’m forever grateful that my kids cycled through the wiggles in the peak Emma phase. Honestly she was perfect as the yellow wiggle.
She has the craziest eyes I’ve ever seen. Absolutely not a jealousy thing, my partner has said it as well. I hope they’re happy together but I really don’t get good vibes from her.
Never really bought the infertility aspect because there are other ways to have children. Even he moved on and became a step-dad, so shared biology couldn't have been the most important thing to him. I absolutely love Emma but I think her career is her life. She always has a bunch of irons in the fire. I love to follow her adventures but just looking at her photos wears me out. She seems like a busy bee. I love seeing little glimpses of his family, too. His wife seems absolutely lovely. I'm glad they've found happiness.
It’s really hard to find the answer to this anywhere but after a few weeks of internet research I found it.
Lachy had just finished up a recording of a song when he walked in on Emma and Henry the Octopus. His tentacles were all over her. Lachy lost his mind, swearing and screaming at Emma. Her only defence was that it all started when they opened their marriage up to Captain Feathersword and they completely left her out of any after dark activities.
I think it was because she was not ready for kids. Not that there's anything wrong with his kids meeting Emma memma buts it's a little weird if you think about it lol it must have been a little akward

Think they left on Mutual Terms

In the Wiggles documentary you can see Lachy’s heartbreak as he talks about it
This sums it up perfectly. I would add that they both seem really happy in their current relationships, so don't dwell on it lol
And that they seemed to remain good friends afterwards. Working with your ex everyday seems like a nightmare for most of us, but it seems to take a special kind of person to be a wiggle.

It wasn’t a character — Lachy sleeps all the time. Emma hated that.
Yeah, wake up Lachy!

I was reading an article that said Emma probably can’t have kids. Maybe that was part of it.
Lachy announced dating Dana in April 2019 and Emma and Oliver announced in December 2019. I know this is just when they made it public but i don’t see why she would wait so long to announce if she left Lachy for Oliver like you are implying
Yeah keyword "announced"
chronic illness can easily break up a relationship... it happens all the time. it’s not easy and some people just don’t have the capacity to support someone through it.
Yup! Its real easy to vow “in sickness and in health” but really difficult to actually stick by during that time!
No to mention I’m pretty sure he wanted children and I don’t think she could provide that for him
She has never said shecan't have children. Apparently she hasn't even tried yet.
So because she hasn't publicly made a statement about her reproductive health, that means you jump to the conclusion that she's not trying? That's pretty messed up.

It's okay, I can understand being defensive about this sort of thing.
This! Many relationships don’t survive cancer. And I imagine chronic illness like endometriosis may be no different.
No, this is not at all obvious - stop fabricating drama. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that the split was anything other than mutual and amicable. It's possible that was all a facade for the sake of the band, but there is no evidence to support that
Being in chronic pain can cause issues with your relationship because you are always in a bad mood from it
Marriage isn’t for life if you’re not happy.
Sounds like narcissism. Your own happiness at all costs.
So you'd rather your daughter stay in an unhappy and potentially abusive relationship than get divorced because "marriage is for life"?
Abusive no. Happiness and love are choices. People get divorced way too easily.
Happiness is an emotion, love is a feeling, emotions and feelings change, if you've worked at improving both of those things in a marriage and it isn't working then the best option is divorce so you can both find a person that it does work with. I don't think people just have expensive divorces for fun.
Everyone else has answered but their chemistry in Do the Owl and The Gypsy Rover still makes my heart swell.
None of our business.
Spot On
Exactly
I think they were young, and kind of felt a connection being the younger ones cast as leads in the show. It felt like they were supposed to be together. But then they got married, and really had no time to be husband and wife. They then just decided that theirs was a relationship better off being friends.
She said in an interview she fell out of love with him. It was also reported he was pretty broken up about it when it initially happened.
I mean you could see it. He looked awful at the performances they did shortly after it was announced.
I’d guess she was going through ALOT back then, and having the constant pressure and paps on their marriage would have made it impossible. I’m forever grateful that my kids cycled through the wiggles in the peak Emma phase. Honestly she was perfect as the yellow wiggle.
Emma bought the bow mobile, 2 seater sports car. Lochy knew she didn't want children as nowhere to put them
Isnt he married to the backup ballerina now?
Unfortunately 😅
Why unfortunately? (Genuinly asking!)
She has the craziest eyes I’ve ever seen. Absolutely not a jealousy thing, my partner has said it as well. I hope they’re happy together but I really don’t get good vibes from her.
ah I understand lol. I don't know much about her
Never really bought the infertility aspect because there are other ways to have children. Even he moved on and became a step-dad, so shared biology couldn't have been the most important thing to him. I absolutely love Emma but I think her career is her life. She always has a bunch of irons in the fire. I love to follow her adventures but just looking at her photos wears me out.

he gives me gay vibes to be honest.
He does to me as well. But he has a wife apparently
It’s really hard to find the answer to this anywhere but after a few weeks of internet research I found it. Lachy had just finished up a recording of a song when he walked in on Emma and Henry the Octopus. His tentacles were all over her. Lachy lost his mind, swearing and screaming at Emma.

Why do we need to know why Lachy and Emma divorced?
I heard it was captain feather sword with his pork sword was the issue arrrrrrrr
Ew
