Absence makes the heart grow fonder isn't just a throwaway line in Edwina Bartholomew's home. The news presenter is the living embodiment of it, bravely revealing that she and husband Neil Varcoe have taken the leap and decided to live apart.
"My husband lives three hours away, and it's fantastic," says Eddy in a revealing Stellar chat. "We are not just talking about separate bedrooms here, but separate houses in entirely different postcodes.
"We are a drive-in, drive-out family and, surprisingly, it really works."
The couple made the "crazy" decision to live apart after selling their Sydney home and buying up a crumbling 177-year-old pub in Carcoar, Central NSW, with the aim of transforming it into a boutique hotel.
Eddy, 40, spends weekdays in Sydney on Sunrise and handles mum duties with the couple's kids Molly, four, and Thomas, two, while Neil is managing the build.
