Celeste Barber breaks her silence on split from husband Api Robin

Celeste Barber has broken her silence and addressed her split from Api Robin.

Almost a month after he announced their marriage of over 20 years was over, she thanked her followers for their "lovely messages". 

The 43-year-old Australian comedian shared a video on her Instagram Stories to promote mascara, declaring she was "going to talk about mascara and that's all we're going to talk about".

Watch the video above. 

But during the demonstration she added, "It's waterproof, which I can absolutely vouch for, I've been giving the waterproofness a run for its money lately." 

At the end of the clip, she quickly lowered her voice and added: "Thank you for all your lovely messages. I really appreciate it, thank you."

It's the first time she has made reference to her marriage breakdown since Robin took to social media to share the news that they had split.

Robin, who became known online as her "Hot Husband" as her career took off on social media and comedy, shared a statement in February.

"The past few months have been incredibly challenging and deeply heartbreaking for us both," the post read.

"After much reflection, the decision has been made to separate.

"There is still love and respect between us, but sadly we are at capacity and have come to recognise we may want for different things.

"Our priority remains our children and their wellbeing."

He finished the post by asking for privacy as they navigate this situation. 

Robin has changed his Instagram handle to his real name, which was previously @HotHusband_ and added "Formerly HotHusband_ to his Instagram bio. 

Barber and Robin share two children, who they have largely kept out of the public eye, Lou, who is around 14 and Buddy, who is around 11. 

Robin also has a daughter from a previous marriage, Kyah. 

The former couple tied the knot in Bali in 2013, after more than 10 years together. 

Barber's brief nod to her marriage breakdown comes as she prepares to head to Europe for her Backup Dancer tour. 

The tour "dives into everything from social satire to awkward personal anecdotes" and Barber's "lifelong dream to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson."

The 11-city run kicks off on April 11th in Norway, and is set to round off in Madrid on the 27th.
