Kate Ritchie’s bizarre tribute to ex-husband Stuart Webb as she eats their frozen wedding cake on what would have been their 12-year anniversary
Kate Ritchie took a rather unusual trip down memory lane on Sunday by defrosting a slice of her wedding cake from more than a decade ago.
The day marked what would have been her 12-year anniversary with her ex-husband, retired NRL player Stuart Webb, whom she divorced in 2020.
The former Home and Away star, 43, posted a photo to Instagram of the top-tier slice of the cake, which had been frozen and wrapped in plastic since the ceremony.

She wrote in the caption: ‘Who is still eating their wedding cake? Why? And for what benefit? This is mine defrosting today.’
The top tier of a wedding cake is traditionally saved for the newlyweds’ one-year anniversary and is thought to symbolise good luck and prosperity.
Many of Kate’s followers were stunned she had kept her cake frozen for so long.
One fan said the cake was ‘part of your story’ while another cheekily remarked it ‘lasted longer than the marriage did’.

Kate and Stuart began dating in 2008 and announced their engagement a year later.
The couple wed in a countryside ceremony in Tasmania in 2010.
They split in 2020 after 10 years of marriage, and the former child actress reportedly moved out of their marital home in Sydney.
Kate was married to retired rugby league player Stuart Webb from 2010 to 2020. The exes are parents to eight-year-old daughter Mae (all pictured in January 2019)
