TV Guides stars Jonathon and Danielle Fren reveal their very unconventional 'part-time marriage'
But the stars of Nine's Travel Guides insist that their arrangement works perfectly for them.
The pair, who have been married for five years, are apart for six months of the year, with Jono away with filming commitments for the rest of the time.
'I'm very grateful that Danielle does let me do Travel Guides every year, because I know it's a big commitment and I am away for a long time,' Jono tells Woman's Day.
Danielle added: 'Maybe that's why our marriage works so well: because we only have to put up with each other for half the year!'

Their unusual arrangement won't be ending any time soon if Jono gets his way.
'I just want to keep doing it as long as Channel Nine want me,' he said.
'It's a great show to be a part of and the crew and the other cast members are great. It's definitely a dream gig. I'm very, very lucky'.
It comes after a gorgeous apartment owned by the Fren family hit the market.
Situated in Newcastle, NSW, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom high-rise pad is listed with a price guide of $2,900,000 – $3,150,000.
Located on the fifth storey of a prestigious block a stone's throw from the harbour, the beautiful flat boasts stunning city views.
Domain reported on that the Frens - Mark, Cathy, Jonathan and Victoria - have used the city central apartment as a 'home base' ever since they debuted on the lifestyle show in 2017.
Still, the family won't be heading far - Mark shared on social media that the family have plans to stay in Newcastle.
Impressive in its dimensions and featuring a thoughtful layout, the Frens flat features a spacious covered private balcony that can double as an alfresco dining area.
Other features include a combined kitchen and dining area that opens out to an entertainment deck.
There's also a private lounge and a master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe.
Amenities in the well-appointed block include a BBQ terrace, pool and gym.
Originally from Newcastle, the Frens family won fame for their outspoken opinions on Nine's Travel Guides which debuted in 2017.
Centred on 'ordinary Aussies' who take on the role of 'travel critics', the show reviews famous and far-flung tourist destinations.
The Frens - primary school teachers Mark and Cathy and hospitality workers Jono and Vic - are known for their distaste of harsh conditions.

Gill Hicks, 7/7 survivor: ‘The pain reminds me this is my second life'
Hicks, 57, was on the Piccadilly Line, on her way to work as head curator at the Design Council in London, when the July 7, 2005, terrorist bombing took place; she was the last surviving victim to be rescued. Her body was so damaged her identification tag read, 'One unknown — estimated female'. She got divorced and moved back to her native Adelaide in 2012 with her new partner, Karl, a designer; they had a daughter, Amelie, in 2013. Hicks is now a peace advocate, having founded the not-for-profit organisation MAD (Music Arts Discussion). I'm obsessed with the early light in the Adelaide Hills, so I'm always up at five. I love the brief flash of ultraviolet that signals the start of the day. There's often a chorus of birdsong, which, though I've only got one working eardrum, feels like immersion in a sound bath. As well as the eardrum, I lost a lung, damaged my oesophagus and had a set of keys embedded in my skull. Plus, I lost both legs. I've had 20 years to get used to the prosthetics, but when I'm at home I usually crawl. Even into the shower — I feel more stable. Karl works in the day and our daughter is at school, but I'm very independent. If I'm not wearing my legs it means I need my breakfast ingredients — plenty of fruit and a cup of coffee — at a lower level. If I've forgotten something I'll build a ladder out of books or towels. The question I always get asked is, was there a bang? Nothing like that. I remember being late for work — a rarity for me — and getting on the train at King's Cross. People trying to squeeze in and, as I was only 5ft tall, someone breathing on my head. Then, darkness. No noise. No pain. I thought I'd had a heart attack. Gradually I became aware of these other voices and figured I couldn't be dead. I could tell some of the other voices were full of pain and some people were dying, but I still had no idea what had happened. I also heard a very beautiful, clear woman's voice telling me I had no legs. I felt down there and, sure enough, no legs. At the same time, my mind was playing all these snippets of my life: hugging my mother as a child, running on hot sand. It seemed someone was showing me what really mattered. Not that report I'd finished the night before, just these moments of joy. I wondered if that beautiful voice was God but it was countered by a much deeper, angrier voice, which I decided was the voice of life. It said, 'You've lost your legs, but you're still you. What are you going to do?' I said out loud, 'I am not going to die!' I had to use my scarf as a tourniquet on my legs. When I realised the rescue services had risked their own lives to save me, I felt so loved. That sense of euphoria has never really left me. Doesn't matter if I'm painting, doing a talk on stage, making soup for lunch, I feel charged with energy. Everything over the past 20 years has been geared towards living the right life. I do it for the people who rescued me — they have become my second family. I do it for the people who didn't make it, such as Adrian Johnson, the man standing in front of me who probably saved my life. Adrian is with me always; I use him as a marker to make sure I honour every day. [Johnson, a married father of two who worked for Burberry and lived in Nottinghamshire, died aged 37.] • 7/7 as it happened — by the reporter who covered it for a month There are days when things don't feel so cheerful. Watching Amelie splash around at the beach as a little kid was tough; I can't really move on sand. The breakdown of my marriage hurt. And every time I read about another incident, like those little girls in Southport, it reopens old wounds. Do I feel any hatred towards Germaine Lindsay, the man who did this? Hatred, no; anger, yes. Anger can be useful. It helped during the four months I spent in hospital learning to walk again and learning to talk because my oesophagus was all burnt up. I had to get those bloody keys taken out of my skull. There is still a lot of pain — phantom pain in my legs, terrible sores from where the prosthetics rub on my stumps — but it reminds me this is my second life. I refuse to take painkillers. Meeting Karl and becoming a mum was a big part of that too. We don't have a telly but Amelie's very engaged with what is going on in Ukraine and the Middle East. After she has gone to bed I'll have a cheeky G&T while I watch EastEnders on the laptop, but I'm rarely in bed before 12. • 7/7: 'There was a white light. I looked around and saw bodies' I try to wring every moment out of every day because every one of those seconds counts. A second earlier or later getting on that train and I wouldn't be show Still Alive (and Kicking) is at Wilton's Music Hall, London E1, on July 9; Best advice I was givenBelieve in yourself. It's what the physios told me when I was learning to walk Advice I'd giveThis too shall pass What I wish I'd knownI used to smoke 40 fags a day. What the hell was I doing to my body?

Paul Hogan, 85, has a spring in his step and looks healthier following a long trip Down Under after arriving from the US in a wheelchair
Paul Hogan was looking much healthier and happier as he left Sydney on Wednesday following a month-long holiday in Australia. The 85-year-old actor arrived at Sydney Airport for a departing flight and gave a cheerful thumbs up to onlookers as he made his way inside the terminal. The beloved silver screen icon was looking immensely well and appeared to have gained some healthy weight during his time Down Under. Paul wore an all-black ensemble including a dress shirt and matching jacket along with dark trousers. He carried a leather sports bag and completed his look with a pair of comfortable black sneakers. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Paul's face was a rosy, glowing hue and he wore a broad smile as he headed across the terminal to the departures area. It was a far cry from how Hogan had arrived in Sydney from the USA last month. At that time, he looked frail and exhausted, and was escorted from the terminal with the help of staff while sitting in a wheelchair. With multiple airport personnel assisting him, Hogan was ushered outside to waiting transport. Paul's return Down Under last month came amid reports he's moving home for good. Chatter has increased that the star is planning to relocate home to Australia permanently. Hogan has remained in the USA for decades, and has expressed that he stays stateside to care for his troubled son, Chance, 27. However, according to a new report, Hogan has finally decided to return home with his son's blessing, after seeing how positive a trip Down Under was for his dad earlier this year. 'Paul felt healthier than he had in months, and even Chance agreed that Australia had been good for them both,' an alleged source told New Idea. 'Chance has long known he's the reason why Paul remains in the States,' they continued. 'But this recent trip was a wake-up call. He can see how important it is for his dad to spend his twilight years on home turf. He now believes it will extend his life.' Chance has been living with his father in LA since his parents' divorce in 2014 after 24 years of marriage. In November, troubling photos emerged of Chance buying beer and shuffling around Venice Beach back alleys, near the home he shares with his father. The movie legend, who's originally from Sydney, left his home country behind following the success of the 1986 action-comedy film Crocodile Dundee. Hogan shares son Chance with second wife Linda Kozlowski, who was his Crocodile Dundee co-star. The actor made the move to settle with Linda in Los Angeles in the '90s. He also has several children with former wife Noelene Edwards - sons Brett, Clay, Scott and daughter Lauren. Hogan recently shared details on his relationship with his wayward son. The Crocodile Dundee star was chatting to Today show entertainment editor Richard Wilkins about a new cut of the iconic film. 'Hoges' admitted he would love to make a permanent move back Down Under, but he is staying stateside for his youngest son Chance. 'It's where I belong,' he replied when asked what it was like to be back in Australia to promote the film. The Nine host then pressed the star on if and when he would like to relocate to Australia, to which he replied: 'Oh, tomorrow.' However for the time being he needs to remain in Los Angeles. 'I have business reasons and my son to stay in the States for now,' he said. When asked for an update on the condition of his troubled son he said: 'Alright. Better than he gets. 'He gets a lot of tabloid stuff, but he's a terrible person because he knows they're watching him and he puts something on for them.' Chance sparked concern for his welfare back in January. He shared concerning videos to his Instagram Stories in which he was drinking wine and slurring his words as he sat at a table in public. 'This is my life. This is what it's been reduced to,' Chance slurred as he took sips from his wine glass. The camera he angled toward his face and his laptop wobbled as he struggled to hold it steady while he spoke. Hogan made a rare public appearance in January as he walked the red carpet at the premiere of the 'encore cut' of the 1986 cult classic Crocodile Dundee. Paul shot to fame in the '80s when he portrayed Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee in the classic outback adventure franchise which boasted three films. The star was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for his performance. A new 'encore cut' was shown at the OpenAir Cinema in Sydney 's Royal Botanic Gardens, which saw two minutes of insensitive material cut from the original movie. The rehashed film was recently slammed by viewers who dubbed it 'bloody woke crap' after some of the more famous scenes were cut for a modern audience. However, Paul revealed during the premiere that he 'totally' agreed with the changes made in the encore cut, and insisted it 'wasn't about being woke'. He told The Courier Mail: 'I heard about it [the edit] years ago, it started, and it wasn't about being woke. 'They pointed out to me and said, "This guy is a folk hero around the world, and he shouldn't be groping people."' 'And I thought, "Yeah that's right, he shouldn't be." So take it out. I mean, he did it in all innocence, in naivety, but it's better without it.' Paul went on to say that the re-edited version of Crocodile Dundee 'went through the roof' when it landed a G rating in the UK and played for a pre-watershed audience.

Bob Hawke's wife Blanche d'Alpuget doesn't look like this anymore! The late Prime Minister's widow debuts makeover as she promotes her latest X-rated novel
The wife of former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke looked unrecognisable as she promoted her new raunchy book in Sydney. Blanche d'Alpuget, who became a widow in 2019 after her husband passed away, featured in a video posted to Facebook last week by Abbey's Bookshop. In the clip, the 81-year-old wore a bold makeup look and heavy rouge on her cheeks as she encouraged fans to buy her new book The Bunny Club. She wrapped up warm in a neutral-toned puffer jacket as she visited the iconic Sydney bookstore, accessorising with a red beret, a patterned scarf and pearl earrings. Her hair, usually voluminous and curled, was a far cry from her signature do as it lay flat on her head in a short, straight bob. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'There's plenty of s-e-x in it,' she told her fans of her new novel. Adding her saucy take on the 'murder mystery' genre, she revealed that it's 'not clear if it's murder or a sex game gone wrong.' 'Blanche D'Alpuget delivers a gripping novel that unravels the shocking death of 'Australia's darling', the nation's most beloved and recognisable morning television presenter, found dead under mysterious and disturbing circumstances in her Southern Highlands home,' the caption read. In 2020, Blanche sensationally claimed in a bombshell biography that her late husband Bob had four affairs while he was prime minister and was addicted to sex. The revered politician had about four 'serious affairs' while national leader from 1983 until 1991, his widow told the writers of Bob Hawke: Demons and Destiny. Hawke was married to his wife Hazel from 1956 until their divorce in 1995; the affair with d'Alpuget began in 1976 and went on and off before starting again in 1988. She said Hawke's behaviour would be classed as a sex addiction. 'At the end of a day of intense activity, he somehow had to let off steam, as it were, and there's nothing like a roll in the hay or five to do that,' d'Alpuget said. The book claims Hawke's charm saw countless women mesmerised, with women throwing themselves at him in the 1960s and 1970s. If rejected, Hawke was known to be brutal. Former tourism minister John Brown also recalled how Hawke 'constantly' chased women - and wasn't remotely discreet, according to excepts from the book seen by The Australian. Ex-union secretary Bill Kelty, who worked with Hawke at the Australian Council of Trade Unions, said the politician would routinely sleep with women during drinking benders which lasted until the early hours of the morning. 'Bob would drink, he would f**k somebody, and he would gamble until 2.30am or 3.30am in the morning - and then when the ACTU executive started at 9am in the morning, he was the second one there and he was fine,' Kelty recalled. Hawke famously gave up alcohol throughout his leadership despite being a heavy drinker in his trade union days.
