It has now been revealed that the couple in question is Channel 7 newsreader Amber Laidler and her husband, former AFL star Jeremy Laidler. According to The Daily Telegraph, after eight years of marriage, they have quietly separated — though they continue to live under the same roof in Sydney’s eastern suburbs for the sake of their young son, Will, who was born in early 2022.
Despite the split, the pair are said to be co-parenting peacefully. Amber, who was crowned Miss World Australia in 2011, later transitioned into journalism and now works as a reporter for Seven News. Jeremy retired from professional football in 2017 after playing 87 games with Geelong, Carlton, and the Sydney Swans.
The couple tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony in November 2017. Their son arrived eight weeks premature, and both shared emotional posts at the time filled with love and gratitude. But time changes even the strongest stories.
