Lisa Wilkinson pays tribute to her ‘absolute rock’ husband Peter FitzSimons on Father’s Day

Lisa Wilkinson has paid tribute to her beloved husband Peter FitzSimons on Father’s Day. 

The embattled television star shared a post to Instagram on Sunday in which she enjoyed a fancy lunch date with Peter, 63.

She wrote in the caption: ‘Happy Father’s Day to my favourite dad. Our absolute rock.’

The television star donned a trendy denim bucket hat for the outing, along with a white top under a black blazer. 

She finished the look with a pair of cream trousers and stacks of gold accessories.  

Lisa previously expressed her joy in ‘defying the people who said they wouldn’t last’ after they walked down the aisle in 1992 nine months after they first met. 

‘When Pete and I met way back at Xmas in 1991, there were many – including my sweet, protective mum – who said we wouldn’t last,’ she said in an Instagram post.

‘[We] are still defying those who thought we wouldn’t make it.’

She and broadcaster Peter share three adult children, Jake, 29, Louis, 27 and Billi, 25. 

Lisa made a rare red carpet appearance at the opening night of Sunset Boulevard in Sydney on Saturday. 

She appeared in excellent spirits as she made a glamorous entrance at the Sydney Opera House. 

The 64-year-old opted for a draped black satin blouse underneath a slightly oversized blazer. 

She added a pair of chic silk trousers in a wide cut in an alluring blush shade of rose gold.

Lisa finished the look with a pair of pointed patent leather heels in a beige colour and carried a fabric covered designer purse. 

It comes after news that Lisa wants to make a return to TV screens following months of inaction and five tedious weeks spent in a courtroom, sources say. 

The Channel 10 star and former darling of breakfast TV is keen to get back to delivering more ‘blockbuster interviews’ in the New Year, friends told the Weekend Australian.

Wilkinson quit The Project in November, 2022 and she hasn’t appeared on TV in a regular role since.
