Wiggles In Crisis

Emma Watkins Leans On Fellow Wiggle Anthony Field As Her Marriage Crumbles

Families across the country went into meltdown last week when The Wiggles couple Emma Watkins and Lachlan Gillespie announced that they were ending their marriage.

‘We wanted to let you know that privately for the last six months we have been navigating through a trial separation, and we have made the decision to separate as a couple,’ Emma, 28, shared on Instagram alongside a photo of the pair during happier times.

While the couple, who wed in an elaborate ceremony in 2016 at Hopewood House in the NSW Southern Highlands surrounded by 200 guests, have tried to keep the details behind their shock split under wraps, New Idea can now reveal that co-founder of the internationally acclaimed children’s entertainment group and fellow Blue Wiggle Anthony Field has gone into crisis mode.

‘It is absolutely awful on set,’ reveals a source close to the group, which has been a permanent fixture on television in homes around the world for more than 25 years, earning millions of dollars each year.

According to our insider, Anthony will do whatever it takes to keep the reasons behind Emma and Lachy’s separation from the public eye.
