‘Good communication and honesty is the key,’ Erin began.
‘The whole fairytale and happy ever after ending that we’re sold by society is actually not adhesive to a working marriage. Marriages take a lot of work and as time passes, individuals change and it’s about being able to compromise and communicate and move in tandem with your partner.’
She added that it’s about overcoming issues together and always ‘coming back together as a couple’.

She added that ‘having fun and laughing’ is also a vital part of her successful and happy marriage.

‘We absolutely love it, there was a lot to do, finding a house and finding schools and it was quite stressful,’ she said.
‘But now we’re all settled in and can’t imagine living anywhere else. Brisbane is one of the best cities.’
Reflecting on her successful career and life, having represented Australia in the Miss Universe competition in 2006, starring in Neighbours and been a presenter for MTV, Erin said it’s been a wild but thrilling ride.
‘It’s crazy,’ Erin said.
‘My mum tells me I have to release a book one day, I have such wild stories, some I can’t print,’ she added with a laugh.
