Channel Seven reporter Amber Laidler and AFL star huband Jeremy Laidler split after eight years of marriage
Channel Seven reporter Amber Laidler and her husband, former AFL star Jeremy Laidler, have quietly split after eight years of marriage. Sources close to Jeremy and Amber, a newsreader at Seven's Sydney bureau, confirmed their separation to the Daily Telegraph last week. The couple wed in 2017 and welcomed a son, Will, who was born eight weeks premature in 2022. It's understood their split was amicable, and Amber and Jeremy continue to live together at their home in Sydney's east for the sake of their son. A closer look at the couple's social media pages suggests they may have been separated for some time. Amber has not featured Jeremy on her Instagram account since December 2023, and he also ceased posting about her that November. The journalist, who won Miss World Australia in 2011, has also been recently spotted without her wedding ring. She took to Instagram in April to document her hair appointment, flashing her noticeably bare finger as she recorded herself in the mirror. Amber traded her pageant sash for a career in journalism with Seven in 2016, where she began as a news intern. She rose to the ranks as a social producer, assistant chief of staff, news producer and then finally news reporter, a role she has held since 2017. Jeremy played for Geelong from 2008 to 2010 before being traded to Carlton in 2011, where he became a regular for the team's defence but was delisted after falling out with then-Carlton coach Mick Malthouse. The 35-year-old then joined the Sydney Swan in 2014 and enjoyed a three-year run with the club before retiring from the sport in 2017. Amber posted a heartfelt wedding tribute to Jeremy on Instagram to mark their three-year wedding anniversary in 2020. Three years on, and somehow, each year, I love you even more than the last. Happy anniversary Jezzy," she wrote, alongside a black and white photo of the couple embracing with a kiss on the day they tied the knot. The couple announced Will's early arrival into the world through a photo of their newborn in hospital. "Our darling boy Will Richie Laidler, who simply couldn't wait any longer and joined us 8 weeks early yesterday afternoon," they wrote in 2022. "He'll now spend a few weeks in the special care nursery while we try to understand how it's possible to love one tiny human so very, very much." has contacted Amber and Jeremy Laidler for comment.

‘Till debt do us part'; how the high cost of living in Australia makes unhappy couples as ‘Financial Flatmates'
Synopsis Australia's divorce rate has hit a historic low, not due to marital bliss, but financial strain. Soaring living costs, rising rents, and strict lending rules are trapping couples in 'financial flatmate' situations. While fewer people are marrying, and older couples are divorcing more, economic factors are a major driver behind the declining divorce rate.

A study by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) shows the country's divorce rate has dropped to its lowest point since the mid-1970s. But it's not happier marriages that are driving the trend; it might be the soaring cost of living. For many, staying together isn't about love anymore. It's about survival.
