Love has healed David’s family wounds, now he and his bride are ready for a brood of their own…
Newlywed singer David Campbell has a twinkle in his eye as he starts to rib his wife Lisa about her vow not to rush into motherhood. He laughs at her protests and jokes she is a mere heartbeat away from maternity.
“You are only going to get broodier,” he warns Lisa, who is glowing with happiness at the prospect of one day being a mum. David has yearned for children ever since finding out as a boy that he was the secret love child of rock star Jimmy Barnes.
The couple tied the knot in what was billed the “rock wedding of the year” in Sydney last November. Now, three months later, babies are a hot topic of conversation — with Lisa reluctantly admitting she might actually be cluckier than wannabe-dad David.
“One of the first compliments you gave me, when we had only been together a week, was when you told me I would be a good mother,” she reminds David, who swept her off her feet almost from their first date.
“I don’t think it was love at first sight, but it was a definite attraction, and since that day [when mutual friend Magda Szubanski introduced the couple] we have been together.”
