‘I’m good at that. So just give me the paperwork, I’ll sign the paperwork and we can get a divorce. You do your job there and I stay here. And we will visit,’ she said.
However, Roxy ultimately decided not to end the marriage and agreed to move the entire family to Singapore for the sake of her daughter Pixie, 11, and Hunter, eight.
‘It’s time. They need a father, and since he’s never here… he’s coming [back home to Sydney] about two days at a time,” she explained.
