Nicola Robinson, 41, shows off taut visage as she makes rare public appearance with Pete Evans

Pete Evans’ wife Nicola Robinson is rarely seen in public, instead spending most of her time at the couple’s $1.2 million farm in northern NSW.

So it was rather surprising to see the former Playboy model, 41, dining with her husband and friends in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on Wednesday.

Nicola, 41, looked happy and relaxed while sitting down for lunch at the upmarket Indigo restaurant in Double Bay.

Nicola, who was previously known as Nicky Watson during her glamour modelling career, dressed casually for the occasion in a black singlet and jeans. 

She styled her long, brunette hair loosely and opted for minimal makeup, allowing her youthful features to take centre stage. 

Pete, who wore a white collared shirt and dark trousers, also appeared to be in a cheerful mood, despite recently finding himself at the centre of controversy after endorsing a notorious anti-vaxxer’s podcast.

Pete and Nicola were joined at lunch by a small group of friends, and also brought along their pet dog Shikoba. 

The couple married in 2016 at their family farm in northern New South Wales. 

They divide their time between the rural property and their newly-built home in Malabar, Sydney.

‘I was just so ashamed of myself,’ she told Channel Seven’s Sunday Night. 

‘And that’s just such a pointless emotion to really feel, because it holds you in the past. It stops you from enjoying the present moment.’
