WIGGLES WEDDING DRAMA!

IS THERE TROUBLE AHEAD OF THE BIG DAY?

-

The countdown is on for purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie’s wedding to Dana Stephensen after the couple announced their engagement in April.

However, it seems the pair might face some obstacles before heading down the aisle. New Idea understand­s that while Lachy and Dana have a famously good relationsh­ip with his ex-wife, yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins, tensions could be rising ahead of the big day.

There are rumours Dana is understand­ably feeling a little jealous of Lachy’s relationsh­ip with Emma. Despite separating back in 2018, the duo have remained close friends and are also work colleagues.

There have even been questions about the timing of the engagement, as Dana

“RELATIONSH­IPS CAN BE A BIT HARD WITH ALL OF THE TOURING … YOU’RE NOT THERE SIX MONTHS”

proposed on the day that would have been Lachlan and Emma’s fourth wedding anniversar­y.

Now concerned fans are wondering if the couple are even living in the same city. Lachlan has been based in Sydney for some time after buying a $1.9 million home last July while Dana is a senior artist at the Australian Ballet company, which is Melbourne based.

Dana, who has a 4-year-old son, Jasper, from a previous marriage, even admitted in 2016 that working in the entertainm­ent business made it a challenge to hold together a personal life.

“Relationsh­ips can be a bit hard with all of the touring as you might meet someone and then you’re not there for six months,” she told the

Daily Mail.

Emma has been publicly supportive of her ex and Dana’s relationsh­ip, however, and was quick to congratula­te them both on their engagement when it was announced via Instagram, leaving three purple love hearts in the comments sections.

Fans quickly praised Emma for being a “good person”. The Wiggles ballerina has also moved on and is in a relationsh­ip with musician Oliver Brian, admitting last December that she’s “in love” and “happy”.
