Lisa Wilkinson gave her husband Peter FitzSimons a sweet shoutout as they celebrated their 30th anniversary.
The 61-year-old Project panelist shared a photo of herself with the former rugby union player-turned-author on Instagram on Wednesday.
‘Thirty years ago today, this lovely, funny, talented, kind man arrived at my doorstep for afternoon tea… and, at my insistence, never left. (Even though, over the years I’m sure I’ve given him plenty of reasons to!),’ she began.

‘Here’s to all the amazing memories @peter_fitzsimons, and those yet to be made…but, just quietly, where the heck did all those years go? Happy anniversary.’
The couple celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary back in September, and in a post on Instagram last year, Lisa recounted their whirlwind courtship.
‘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 wrote on Instagram at the time.

‘Those voices only got louder when we walked down the aisle a ridiculously short nine months later on the 26th September 1992…
‘Well, here we are, an old married couple, three beautiful kids and exactly 28 years later, still muddling through, still holding hands, still the first ones we want to confide in, still making each other laugh, still pushing each other, still talking, questioning, encouraging, supporting, trusting, forgiving, challenging (and yes, arguing), and still defying those who thought we wouldn’t make it (and to be honest, there were more than a few days when neither did we)!’
Despite facing early scepticism about their relationship, Lisa revealed: ‘Somehow though, it all just works.’
