Natalie Roser and Harley Bonner spend their first Christmas together as a married couple

Natalie Roser has celebrated her first Christmas with husband Harley Bonner after being separated for most of the year.

The bikini model, 32, celebrated the actor’s return to Australia this week, after he jetted off to Thailand for several months.

Harley moved out of the couple’s Newcastle home shortly after their wedding in February to study energy healing and meditation in the Southeast Asian country.

On Sunday, Natalie shared a series of Instagram photos showing the newlyweds celebrating Christmas together.

‘First Christmas in our new home & as husband and wife,’ she captioned the post.

She then wished her 1.4million Instagram followers a Merry Christmas.

Last week, Natalie documented the countdown to Harley’s return to Australia and shared several sweet moments as she waited for his flight to arrive.

‘Back together and stronger than ever,’ she wrote alongside her video. ‘I love you @harleympb Welcome home, my sweet love!’

Natalie previously said letting Harley travel solo in their first year of marriage was preferable to him doing it later down the track when they have children.

She also did not visit him overseas because she didn’t want to be a ‘distraction’.

‘We are living our own lives and it works,’ she added at the time. 

While Harley, who quit Home and Away in January over the show’s Covid-19 vaccine policy, followed his spiritual path, Natalie was back home on the tools.
