A newly single Carrie Bickmore and Fifi Box are saying goodbye to the Melbourne cold for now.

The seasoned radio hosts were spotted at Melbourne International Airport this week, checking in for their flight to Fiji.

Also on-board for some fun in the sun are Bickmore’s children Oliver, Evie and Adelaide, and Box’s daughters Trixie and Daisy, who are all currently on school holidays.

The large group were hard to miss as they arrived at the airport. Bickmore, 42, was wearing a bright pink sweater with the slogan “More love” scrawled across the front, while Box, 46, was wearing a straw cowboy hat.

The women have been close friends for many years as they both climbed the ranks in their respective media careers — and both are now currently at the top of their game at the Hit Network. Bickmore hosts alongside comedian Tommy Little on the Carrie & Tommy Show drive progam and Box stars on the breakfast radio show Fifi, Fev & Nick.

Both women have also appeared alongside each other on The Project – where Box often appeared as a guest host, while Bickmore co-hosted alongside Waleed Aly up until December last year, when she quit the show for good.

Their bond was also apparent last year when Box gushed about Bickmore on her 40th birthday.

“You have achieved so much because your tireless dedication and talent is boundless, I can’t wait to see what you achieve in the next 40,” Box penned at the time.

“You are a round-the-clock, always there, ride-or-die sister and here’s to another decade of laughs and love my beautiful friend!!”

And their unbreakable bond is now being emulated by their respective daughters Trixie, 10, and Evie, 8, who in the past have enjoyed play dates.

“Ohh my heart,” Bickmore captioned a photo of the girls hanging out one weekend last year.

This isn’t the first time Bickmore and Box have enjoyed a girls’ getaway together.

Last August, they were seen checking out of the swanky Kimpton Margot hotel in Sydney.
