Toni Collette, an Australian actress, and David Galafassi, a musician, are divorcing after almost 20 years of marriage. The 50-year-old actress and the drummer jointly released a statement announcing their divorce. Yesterday, Toni even shared the statement on her Instagram (Dec. 7).
We announce our divorce with grace and thanks, according to the joint statement. The message is placed next to a picture of a flowery sign that says “Peace & Love,” and it reads, “We’re united in our decision and part with continuous respect and care for each other.
In a statement, Collette and Galafassi said that their two daughters, Sage, 14, and Arlo, 11, were “of paramount significance to us and that we would continue to thrive as a family, albeit in a different shape.”
They wrote in the statement, “We’re grateful for the room and love you give us as we mature and go through this transition calmly. “Many thanks. Fans are now asking why this long-term pair abruptly decided to separate ways. Toni Collette and David Galafassi. Shannon Egan has been confirmed as the woman caught kissing David.
David Galafassi and Toni Collette have been wed for almost 20 years. The couple first connected during the album release party for Galafassi’s previous band, Gelbison, in 2002. On January 11, 2003, they were wed in a Buddhist ceremony. Their daughter Sage Florence Galafassi was born in January 2018 and their son, Arlo Robert Galafassi was born in April 2011.
The actress has talked about moving permanently to Sydney, where it feels like “home,” with Galafassi. “I have lived in so many different places and we, as a family, are incredibly adaptable and able to set up house anywhere when I’m working,” she stated.
Toni added in her interview, “But that feeling of home is a feeling you can’t fabricate, and when I get home to Sydney that feeling is very strong. It was really all about being with our tribe, the people we love, and enjoying Sydney.”
The announcement of their divorce comes after Galafassi was caught kissing a bikini-clad model. The photos of him making out with Shannon Egan surfaced all over the internet, and it came out that the two must have been romantically linked. However, Collette and Galafassi did not specify when they officially separated before announcing their divorce.
If you didn’t know, Collette posted a mysterious quote to her Instagram Story a few hours before announcing the couple’s divorce, reading, “No matter what your current circumstances are, if you can imagine something better for yourself, you can create it.”
The shady social media activity was preceded by paparazzi pictures of David making out with an unknown blonde on a Sydney beach early on Wednesday. Indeed, as time passes, so do people.
Toni has undoubtedly been cheated on by David, despite the fact that her soon-to-be ex-husband shared a humble statement that reflects a mutual decision. The couple hasn’t yet made any comments, though.
Just a few days prior to this statement, Toni Collette reactivated her Instagram. “I am back. Hello, universe. She shared a picture of herself sitting in a bus and looking out the window with the caption, “I love you. Who would have thought that her most recent post would be about her divorce? Toni is still silent regarding the drummer’s deceit.
