Diane Foreman, 61, is one of the country’s most successful business people, awarded a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to business. She married broadcaster Paul Henry in 2020.
What is the best thing about your life at the moment?
The best thing for me is that my children are grown up and for the first time since I was 15, I feel free. It’s the freedom of being able to sleep in. I had my first child at 18, so there weren’t many years of being able to be my own boss. And when I was running a huge business, I was very disciplined and in the gym really early, making school lunches, getting the kids to school and that’s a real grind. It’s actually lovely having nobody at home, and the freedom of not having a disciplined job and huge staff. This is the best time of my life.
You’re one of our top business people – are you still actively involved in that world?
Paul teases me because I tell everybody I don’t work and he says, “Really?” I am still quite busy, but what I’m doing now seems very different. I’m still on some boards, I’ve got a hotel and manage my own property portfolio, and I do some international consulting, but I can do it on my own time, which is fantastic.
What has surprised you about being married to Paul Henry?
