In March, sources close to the pair confirmed to The Daily Telegraph that Rose and Steve had parted ways after nearly seven years together.

“Steve and Rosie had such a public image of the perfect happy family but behind the scenes there were struggles that would put strain on even the best marriage,” a friend told the newspaper.

The former couple sold their five-bedroom matrimonial home in Coogee for a staggering $4.6 million in April, further cementing their split.
