Comedian Celeste Barber feared her marriage with her ‘hot husband’ was over during lockdown

Comedian Celeste Barber has been with her ‘hot husband’ Api Robin for 18 years.

But the Australian funny woman has candidly revealed she genuinely feared their seven-year marriage was done for in 2020.

Appearing on British actress and activist Jameela Jamil’s iWeigh podcast, the 38-year-old claimed the coronavirus pandemic put a strain on their relationship.

Celeste and Jameela have been friends for two years, and recreated John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s iconic Rolling Stone magazine cover for the December issue of Instyle Magazine in 2019. 

Celeste claimed the lockdown periods changed the couple’s dynamic, as they had become good at ‘missing each other’ as they rarely spent all their time together.

‘It was and still is hard… With lockdown, he’s here at all times. There’s two f***ing bulls in the house,’ the actress laughed.

Celeste told her famous friend that she is very careful and selective about what she posts and shares about her marriage and family online. 

‘Most of the time it can be not f***ing pretty – marriage is hard,’ she honestly expressed.

Celeste claimed there was one ‘massive and intense fight’ they had in lockdown where she thought the pair ‘were done’, but luckily Api put things in perspective. 

‘We are very lucky, we just absolutely love each other… Api said it [their tensions] was because of the pandemic, it’s not normal for us to be spending this much time together. It was so good that he said that,’ she said.

Celeste then told listeners that when she is having a fight with Api she thinks how sad she would be if he was dead and she snaps out of it.  

She also turned to treadmill workouts and screaming into pillows after fights.

The comic rose to fame by playfully mocking the poses of actresses and models and posting the comparisons online.

And quite often Api is dragged in on the action, with hilarious results.
