Former Australia Idol star and Celebrity Apprentice contestant Anthony Callea laughs out loud when asked who does most of the cooking at the modern Melbourne apartment he and husband Tim Campbell call home.
โWe have four ovens in our kitchen and I donโt know how to use any of them,โ Anthony happily admits.
โEvery time I have to microwave something, I yell out to Tim or text him to ask, โWhat button do I press?'โ
Tim, 47, is only slightly better at navigating the kitchen.
โWe cook like university students,โ he laughs.
โCooking for us is heating up a soup or making some sort of salad. Weโre either out or ordering Uber Eats or weโre just away. We donโt cook. We donโt do a weekly shop to cook anything.โ
If it was left up to Anthony, 40, they would dine out every single night.
โI love eating out and I donโt really enjoy cooking,โ he says.

Still madly in love, both agree that communication is the key to the success of their relationship.

When it comes to cleaning, however, Anthony confesses heโs borderline OCD.
โTim is actually a very clean person, but I grew up in a household where I could eat off my mumโs floor โ her house always smelt like bleach and there was never a cushion out of place!โ
They may occasionally bicker over Anthonyโs need for a perfect โdisplay homeโ, but arguments are few and far between for this couple, who tied the knot in New Zealand in 2014, three years before same-sex marriage was legalised in Australia.
โIt was quite a beautiful moment to realise that we were now a legally recognised married couple in our own country,โ Anthony says, adding that both he and Tim celebrated the historic event with a martini as they watched the announcement on TV.

They mightnโt cook but these two know how to whip up a delicious cocktail.

Tim says the simple act of professing their love for each other in front of their families helped โsolidifyโ their relationship, which began 13 years ago after Anthony struggled with coming out after finding fame on Australian Idol.
โWe were surprised that it did make our relationship better, because we never thought it would make a difference,โ reveals the former Home And Away and House Husbands star, who has also made a name for himself as a singer.
Still madly in love, both agree that communication is the key to the success of their relationship.
โI think itโs really important to be in tune with each other,โ says Anthony.

Sports-mad Tim believes every couple needs to work at keeping a great relationship, but says it should never be a chore, and that you should retain your own identity and interests.
โYou work at it to make it easier. We never want to walk on eggshells with each other. Weโre fairly open and lay our cards on the table. Weโre very transparent,โ says Tim.
โSometimes you donโt want to have those conversations about exactly what you are feeling and why. But itโs even worse to let those things fester.โ

โWeโve always said if we have a surrogate it will have to be my sperm,โ Tim says before Anthony confesses, โIโm scared to have another little one of me running around. Can you imagine? Thereโs just no way!โ
Despite admitting they were having too much fun without children in 2021, Anthony revealed in an exclusive chat to Womanโs Day that they pair arenโt against getting on โthe baby train.โ
โI did say to Tim, โWould you be interested in going down the road of having kids?โ Then when your siblings start having kids and you see what goes on, Iโm like, โMaybe Iโll just hold off a second. I might just wait and see how this pans out for them,'โ jokes the star, who says the couple โnever say neverโ when it comes to getting on board the baby train,โ he said.
Although fans would love to watch the couple on their very own reality show, Tim joked while he wouldnโt refuse, it could also end up in divorce.
Meanwhile, Anthony reckons he would be perfect for a โHousehusbands of Melbourneโ-style show, and could easily fill the heels of The Real Housewives of Melbourne star Gina Liano.
โLetโs be honest, weโre not going to do SAS together!โ says Tim.

Anthony, starred on Celebrity Apprentice with close friend Michelle Bridges, claimed his only concern about doing reality together is how he would be edited.
โI think in our relationship Tim will always come across as the nice one and they will see me as the person who is totally out of control and has a bit of a fiery temper,โ he says.
