“My ex husband thought that… that giving compliments is fake,” she said.
“Like I would frock myself up if we were having a night out and I said f-r-o-c-k frock myself out. I get all ready I come downstairs and he’d say ‘are you ready?'”

“So I would do stuff like, no wonder I’m so needy. I always do stuff like look in the mirror and be like oh Lady J, you’re looking beautiful tonight. That’s what I mean by self-saucing.”
“And he would say, when are you going to get changed?” Wippa asked.
“Exactly” she replied.
Self-love or “self-saucing” as Julia would call it, became a common practice to boost her own confidence.
According to New Idea, it was believed the couple understood the relationship has “simply run its course” before calling it quits in mid-2022.
“It’s all very amicable. They are still figuring things out, but there’s two children involved and Julia and Dan are determined to put their daughters first,” a friend revealed in October.
They also confirmed there was no nastiness between Julia and Dan.
“They’ve been through a lot together and I think they realised it was time to move on. I’m pretty sure they will stay friends,” they added.

After being in a relationship for two decades, the 2024 TV WEEK Gold Logie nominee admitted she had become “very good” at being a married woman.
“Well, it’s been 20 years since I was a single lady. And I don’t mean going out and picking up. I just mean, how do you respond to being a single person? ” she said.
“I’m actually I think I’m very good at being married. But I like that bit.”
In 2023, Julia told Stellar she thought about leaving Dan “once a year” due to their arguments. But she also never imagined being without the man she nursed through breast cancer in 2012.
Fitzy suggested she set sights on her formet I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-host Dr Chris Brown but Julia found some problem areas with that love match.
“There’d not be anything more enticing than a woman who’s nearly you know, mid 50s with teenage children who’s been through an intense amount of trauma. I think I could be the lady of his dreams,” she joked.
