The Wiggles’ Emma Watkins has found love with musician Oliver Brian, after years of friendship working on the children’s TV show alongside each other.
Speaking to Stellar magazine on Sunday, the 30-year-old gushed: ‘I haven’t actually told anybody because it’s new, but I feel happy.’
Emma’s new romance comes after her ex-husband, Purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie, 34, moved on with dancer Dana Stephensen, after also meeting on the show.

Emma continued: ‘[Oliver] is the very opposite to me. He’s a very calm and thoughtful person and I’ve always been interested in his mind and his take on life, and his morals. He loves talking about the environment and food production.
‘It’s not very “Wiggly”, but it’s been nice for me to talk about things not just concerning ourselves, but people everywhere around the world.’
Oliver plays various instruments on The Wiggles, including guitars and banjo, and has previously joined them on several of their world tours.

During the candid interview with Stellar, Emma also broke her silence on Lachlan’s relationship with dancer Dana, a senior artist at The Australian Ballet.
After the dancer filmed scenes with The Wiggles last December, Emma revealed she told a friend that Dana and Lachlan would be ‘perfect together’.

She immediately felt they had the ‘same energy’, but stated she kept her thoughts to herself and let the two come together on their own.
Dana was previously married to Melbourne photographer Michael Kai, with whom she shares custody of a four-year-old son.
In August last year, Lachlan and Emma announced their split.

The former couple – who joined The Wiggles in 2013 and started dating weeks later – had married in Bowral, New South Wales in 2016.
Despite their break-up, Lachlan and Emma have vowed to remain friends and still perform together in The Wiggles.
‘To be able to realise as a couple that we were going different ways and to stay as close as we are is a real testament, I think, to both of us,’ Lachlan said in a statement.
‘I love her more now than anything and she loves me more than anything.’
