Lisa appeared as Const. Margaret ‘Maggie’ Doyle on police drama Blue Heelers between 1994 and 2004.
John meanwhile starred as Senior Sgt. Tom Croydon on the series between 1994 and 2006.
Despite being one of Australia’s most beloved stars, Lisa has largely kept out of the spotlight over the past several years, after being spotted kissing her co-star Teddy Tahu Rhodes in 2012.

At the time the kiss made headlines, it was reported that Lisa was still married to her husband, Tim Disney, with whom she shares three children.
In an interview with Stellar magazine, Lisa spoke about why she has started keeping her private life out of the public eye.
She explained: ‘Over the last couple of years I made a decision that while my kids are teenagers – and I feel really strongly about this – my story affects their stories.

‘So until they get to a point where they are living their own lives, I have decided to be very quiet about mine.’
Lisa married husband Tim in 2000, and the two went on to have children Archer, 21, Oliver, 18, and Remy, 17.
The Sydney-born star shot to fame at the age of 22 on Blue Heelers and most recently appeared in comedy How to Stay Married alongside Peter Helliar.
