IT HAS BEEN two years since Nine
Network TV presenter Karl Stefanovic called it quits with his wife of 21 years,
Cassandra Thorburn.
Admittedly, it left her in a dark
space, declaring Stefanovic was “dead” to her.
“The children still have a father,
but I don’t have a husband. He really is dead to me and no, we won’t ever be
friends again,” she said last year.
In an exclusive interview with
Women’s Weekly, Thorburn’s back; strong, healthy and more confident than she’s
been in a long time.
“The flip-side of that is I feel
like we’re dead to his family and almost anyone from our old life,” she told
the publication.
“There has been practically no
contact. I feel like we’ve been discarded and disposed of, replaced by a whole
new line-up of starters.
“It has been a real adjustment
period for me.”
The 47-year-old who shares three
children with Stefanovic opened up about rediscovering her resilience and
writing her first children’s book.
“Thankfully I’ve been gifted with
enough resilience and strength to have got us all through these past two
years.”
But Karl Stefanovic’s family is
upset by Thorburn’s comments and told Nine’s TheFIX: “We are disappointed Cass
would claim such inflammatory suggestions that we have alienated Karl’s
children from our family.
“Nothing could be further from the
truth. Karl regularly co-parents his children and has his loving family around
them.
We refuse to keep a running
dialogue of the children. There are custody and financial matters before the
Family Court and Karl has abided by every single one of them and we will not
jeopardise it. Family is often compromised when parents go through a painful
divorce and we do our best to continue our love and support for the children.”
