Skye Wheatley has revealed she and her partner of six years, Lachlan Waugh, are attending couples counselling.
The Gold Coast-based mother of two opened up about their struggles in a piece to camera on her Instagram stories on Thursday.
Skye said that 2024 is all about achieving goals, a journey which includes addressing the challenges in her relationship with Lachlan.
‘Lockie and I went to a counselling session yesterday,’ Skye began.
The session, initially intended as occupational therapy for their son, Forrest, five, transformed into a much-needed intervention for the couple themselves.

Skye’s realised their son’s behaviour could be influenced by their relationship dynamics and it prompted her to take action.
‘Let’s start with the parents because we’re broken,’ she said.
She emphasised the importance of tackling their issues head-on for the betterment of their family.

She also reflected on past counselling experiences, contrasting them with their current therapy.
She shared her discomfort with a previous counsellor, saying that she felt ‘judged’.
She said her new counsellor brought a sense of hope and positivity.

Skye added that she appreciated the counsellor’s non-judgmental and balanced approach.
Skye first hinted at trouble in paradise with her relationship back in February last year after revealing she and Lachlan are ‘on a break’ and ‘co-parenting’ their two children.
The former reality star told her 315,700 TikTok followers they agreed she would look after their sons for two nights.
Lachlan would take them for the next two nights, and so on.
The arrangement, however, didn’t last and Lachlan asked Skye to ‘come home’ so they could parent their boys together.
‘So, there’s a bit of confusion around a couple of my last posts when I’m talking about co-parenting with Lachy,’ she said at the time.
‘Basically, we trialled co-parenting. So I would have the kids two nights then he would have the kids two nights. And then, yeah, two nights on, two nights off.’
Skye said Lachy pleaded with her to ‘come home’ soon into their co-parenting experiment.
‘After a little bit of doing that, and he was like, ‘Okay, you can come home now,” she said.
‘Because, yeah, obviously, I don’t think he liked it. We like being together as a family. But I feel like for us, we just needed a break. Just a little break.
‘Obviously I didn’t want to be away from the kids for as long as we were away from each other. So we just co-parented for the period of the break. Hopefully that makes sense.’
