BRAVE TONI VOWS TO PUT HER KIDS FIRST

Friends of Toni Collette say she’s putting on the performance of her life as she beams

her way through interviews to promote her new movie, Prime Video’s The Estate, with Anna Faris.

“We made each other laugh all the time,” she gushed of her co-stars. “You find yourself laughing at the material, but that’s what I personally wanted. I wanted to feel the joy and I wanted to bring the joy.”

But a source tells Woman’s Day that, behind the scenes, Toni’s still nursing a mix of emotions. “She’s not recovered from her split and she’s not likely to any time soon,” says a longtime friend of the Aussie actress’ recent separation from the father of her two children, musician Dave Galafassi, 44, after 20 years together.
