Followers and fellow comedians weighed in with humor and affection. Dave Hughes joked, 'Stop thinking about yourself,' adding that studies have shown the happiest people are those who think about themselves the least. Psychologist Melanie Kelly praised Langbroek for embracing her own company, noting the value of self-care for mothers. Other fans connected with her honesty, with one writing that they are 'pretty much the same at home too' and another praising the message to be present wherever she is. Former Project co-host Gorgi Coghlan joined in, telling her to keep loving herself 'sick' and to be all there wherever she travels.
Langbroek and her husband, Peter Lewis, have long ties to Italy. The couple previously lived in Puglia for nearly two years and returned to Australia by early 2021. Since then, Langbroek has posted about her Italian adventure while traveling without Lewis, giving fans a window into how travel looks in middle age for a public figure and mother of four. The couple’s history includes a prior separation; Langbroek has said they briefly split in the 1990s for about 18 months before reconciling and marrying in 2003.
Langbroek described the patchwork of their relationship in a later interview on the Life of Greatness podcast, saying that Lewis’s controlling tendencies contributed to the breakup, but that they talked through it and ultimately rebuilt their partnership. The two first met on a 1998 trip to Vietnam when they were dating other people, and after that trip their paths diverged before they reconnected and began their lives together.
Today, Langbroek remains a prominent voice in Australian entertainment and media, balancing public appearances with family life as she travels and documents her experiences. Her latest post underscores how solo travel can be a candid, emotionally charged journey, particularly for someone navigating middle age and parenthood while maintaining a public profile.
