Toni Collette is rebounding after her shocking divorce from ex-husband Dave Galafassi last year.
The 50-year-old actress looked strong and confident as she walked her dog in Sydney on Friday.
She showed off her fit physique in sporty black leggings and a tank top that said “LOVE LIVE” in all caps.

Toni reportedly struggled to take on work commitments, such as interviews, after her split from Dave made headlines late last year.
An old friend of Toni’s told Women’s Day earlier this year that she was devastated that their divorce became so public.
“She hasn’t recovered from her breakup yet and she won’t anytime soon,” the friend told the publication at the time.
“Toni is a miracle at how she can keep herself together and function.
“The promotional side of films is something she usually enjoys, but not when her life is a mess.”

However, Collette has shut down speculation that she was struggling following the split, telling a Times reporter in March that she is doing well.
“I don’t have shaky time at all,” she insisted. “That’s a big assumption.”
She continued, “I’m doing really well. Thank you for your concern. It’s not something I really want to talk about publicly, but I’m doing fine. More than fine.’
The couple share daughter Sage, 14, and son Arlo, 11, together.
Dave, who was a drummer in an indie rock band when he met the About a Boy star, confirmed their split in December 2022 when he was pictured passionately kissing chiropractor Shannon Egan on Sydney’s Manly Beach.
Daily Mail Australia contacted Toni’s management about the photos and hours later she announced the couple had split in a joint statement on her recently reactivated Instagram account.

“It is with grace and gratitude that we announce our divorce,” the couple wrote.
“We are united in our decision and say goodbye with continued respect and care for each other.
“Our children are of the utmost importance to us and we will continue to thrive as a family, albeit in a different form. We are grateful for the space and love you grant us as we evolve and move peacefully through this transition. Thank you very much.’
The pair met in 2002 at the launch of Galafassi’s band’s debut album Metal Detector in Sydney, with their second meeting taking place just a few days later at a house party.
They married in Buddhist rituals at her estate in Berry on the NSW south coast, less than a year after they met, in January 2003.
