Toni Collette shares poem about new beginnings after marriage split

Toni Collette has shared a poem about moving from the past to a better future, following her split from husband Dave Galafassi after 20 years of marriage.

The poem, titled Halfway There, is from Kate Baer’s poetry book And Yet, and its subject seems to be close to Toni’s heart in light of their recent split.

‘No matter what, you’re free to go. Free to peel what remains of this story and choose another. It’s not too late. Definitely worth the trouble,’ she reads to herself.

‘Remember the story of the lion lost without his courage. Too scared, full of rage, the great wizard standing on the emerald tower, knowing that the lion was already brave.

It’s not the first time Toni, 50, has hinted at her heartbreak since splitting with Dave, made public when he was photographed kissing another woman last week.

A few days after their breakup hit headlines, the Hereditary star posted a haunting image of a dark tree alongside another cryptic poem.

The Hereditary star uploaded a poem of bravery and new beginnings from Kate Baer’s poetry book And Yet, after her ex was spotted kissing another woman hours before they announced their split.

And on Monday, he shared a photo of a building with the words “love is the answer” painted on the side.

Her online activity led fans to express concern for Toni’s mental well-being ahead of her impending divorce, with many sending her love and support.

Dave, who was a drummer in an indie rock band when he met the Muriel’s Wedding star, was pictured last week taking an early morning dip in Manly with chiropractor Shannon Egan.

Titled Halfway There, the poem was posted on Collette’s Instagram Stories and encourages readers to “unstick” their past and move towards a better future, a message that seemed to resonate with the award-winning actor. In the photo: Collette and Galafassi in 2009

Daily Mail Australia contacted Toni’s management about the photographs on Wednesday afternoon, announcing hours later that the couple had split in a joint statement posted to their newly reactivated Instagram account.

“It is with grace and gratitude that we announce that we are divorcing,” the couple wrote.

“We are united in our decision and we part with continued respect and care for one another.

“Our children are of the utmost importance to us and we will continue to thrive as a family, albeit in a different way. We are grateful for the space and love you give us as we evolve and move peacefully through this transition. Thank you very much.’

It’s not the only heartbreaking message Collette has shared since Galafassi was photographed passionately kissing a woman in the waves off a Sydney beach last Wednesday.

The unusual activity led fans to express concern for Collette’s mental well-being following the announcement of her impending divorce with many sending their ‘love’ and ‘support’.
