Skye Wheatley has again prompted split rumours after fans noticed her partner, Lachlan Waugh, has not appeared on her social media in more than two months.
Supporters pointed out that Wheatley’s recent posts focus on parenting their two young sons and make no mention of Waugh, prompting online discussion about the state of the couple’s relationship. Some followers asked Wheatley directly on Instagram whether she and Waugh were having problems and noted he had been seen attending events and trips without her.
The absence has revived attention to a period of strain the couple publicly acknowledged. In November, Wheatley said she and Waugh had briefly separated and experimented with a co‑parenting arrangement in which each parent cared for their sons on alternating nights. "Honestly not much to report. We just have a lil re‑set break from time, it's good," she told followers at the time. She later said Waugh asked her to "come home" so they could parent their children together.
Wheatley, a former reality television star, and Waugh have been together for about seven years and share two sons, Forest and Bear. Wheatley has previously spoken about the couple attending counselling and described 2024 as a year for working on personal goals and addressing relationship challenges. The pair are also managing a major home renovation project together.
Fans have taken note of Waugh’s recent public appearances without Wheatley and of her lack of joint photographs or mentions. One comment referenced Waugh attending a gender reveal event without Wheatley; others commented on children spending time in Sydney. Media outlets have sought comment from Wheatley.
Neither Wheatley nor Waugh has made a new public statement confirming a separation. The couple’s social media activity and their past descriptions of taking breaks, co‑parenting trials and returning to live together have left their exact status unclear to observers. News outlets have contacted Wheatley for comment.
