Roxy Jacenko recently revealed her plans to renew her vows with convicted husband Oliver Curtis, but as the PR queen confesses their road to love was far from a fairytale.
In a tell-all interview with News.com.au, Roxy answers for the first time all the questions that have plagued her over the past year, from her decision to take her wedding band off, to those infamous photos.
When her husband was sentenced to two years behind bars for insider trading, Roxy genuinely thought her marriage had come to an end.
โIโd spoken to a lawyer about divorce, and he knew that, Iโd told him,โ she tells the publication, adding the she took her wedding ring off because she simply โwasnโt sure what would happenโ.
Curtis, 31, was released in June on a good behaviour bond after 12 months at Cooma Correctional Centre. Though the coupleโs two kids Pixie, five, and Hunter, three, were excited to see their father, Roxy felt differently.
โThis person had been away, Iโd had to run my own life for 12 months and Iโd only really seen him three times,โ she says.
โThey say distance makes the heart grow fonder, in my case distance made me begin to forget.โ

But Oliver wasnโt returning to pick up his marriage where it had left off. Because, as Roxy explains, their matrimony โwasnโt how a marriage should beโ.
โIt was a very challenging five years of marriage,โ she tells.
โWe were at each otherโs throats, so when he went for 12 months, I set up a life for myself and the children and that was it. I thought that would be the end of it.โ
In April, two months before Oliverโs release, the mother-of-two was photographed sharing a kiss with ex-boyfriend Nabil Gazal through a window of a Sydney apartment.
Though sheโs since refused to talk about it, Roxy has now revealed the kiss to be nothing more than a drunken pash at a party.
โYou can read a lot in to three seconds of pictures,โ she says.
โWe were stupid โฆ thatโs where it starts and thatโs where it stops. My marriage in my eyes had come to an end โฆ [we were] drunk and stupid and mucking around.โ
She confirms that Oliver has indeed seen the snaps, but insists they have โmoved forwardโ.
Last month, Oliver asked the breast cancer-survivor to marry him once more in a carefully-orchestrated surprise.
And judging by the estimated $450,000 Nicholas Haywood ring Roxy has been sporting since, her answer was a resounding yes.
โMy life is completely different. I went from being very depressed โฆ now, I am very focused on my work, my children are happy and Iโm happy.
โThe chapter is closed.โ
