Skye Wheatley has revealed that she and her partner of six years, Lachlan Waugh, are undergoing couples therapy.
The Gold Coast-based mother of two opened up to camera about their struggles on her Instagram stories on Thursday.
Skye said 2024 is all about achieving goals, a journey that includes tackling the challenges in her relationship with Lachlan.
“Lockie and I went to a counseling session yesterday,” Skye started.
The session, initially intended as occupational therapy for their son Forrest, five, turned into a much-needed intervention for the couple themselves.

Skye realized that their son’s behavior could be affected by the dynamics of their relationship and this prompted her to take action.
“Let’s start with the parents because we are broken,” she said.
She emphasized the importance of tackling their problems head-on for the betterment of their families.

She also reflected on previous counseling experiences and contrasted them with their current therapy.
She shared her discomfort with a previous counselor, saying she felt “judged.”
She said her new counselor brought with her a sense of hope and positivity.
Skye first hinted at trouble in paradise with her relationship in February last year, after revealing she and Lachlan are ‘on hiatus’ and ‘co-parenting’ their two children
Skye added that she appreciated the counselor’s non-judgmental and balanced approach.
Skye first hinted at trouble in paradise with her relationship in February last year after revealing she and Lachlan are ‘on a break’ and ‘co-parenting’ their two children.
The former reality star told her 315,700 TikTok followers that they had arranged for her to watch their sons for two nights.
Lachlan would take them for the next two nights and so on.
However, the arrangement did not last and Lachlan asked Skye to ‘come home’ so they could raise their boys together.
“So there’s some confusion around some of my latest posts when I talk about co-parenting with Lachy,” she said at the time.
“We actually tried co-parenting. So I would get the kids for two nights, then he would get the kids for two nights. And then, yes, two nights on, two nights off.’
Skye said Lachy begged her to “come home” quickly in their co-parenting experiment.
“After I did that for a while, he said, ‘Okay, you can come home now,’” she said.
“Because, yeah, obviously I don’t think he liked it. We enjoy being together as a family. But I feel like we just needed a break. Just a break.
‘Obviously I didn’t want to be away from the children as long as we were away from each other. So during the break we just co-parented. Hopefully that makes sense.”
