“Unfortunately, in the case of Chris and Carrie, the fact that they all work in the same industry means that their friends are likely to go one way or the other. But Carrie is naturally hurt,” the source said.

‘Fifi is really good for Carrie. She is level headed and is encouraging her to take things one day at a time and take care of herself for the sake of the children.

Carrie and Chris’ love story captivated the hearts of Australians.
They met as colleagues on The Project – she was a presenter and he was a producer – and began dating in late 2012, two years after she lost her husband Greg Lange, the father of her eldest son Ollie, 15, to brain cancer.
Despite her terminal diagnosis, Carrie had married Langue in 2005 when she was just 25 years old.
After Langue died in 2010 at the age of 35, a widowed Carrie started the charity Bickmore’s Beanies for Brain Cancer in her memory.
Two years later, Carrie had found love again with Walker, who became Oliver’s stepfather, and with whom she later had two daughters: Evie, born in 2015, and Adelaide, born in 2018.
