"And today we 'celebrated' by scrubbing the fridge for our move! (actually Petee did the scrubbing while I carried on like a pork chop!) #craphousewife #weddinganniversary #18years #luckywife #peteeishandywithascrubbingbrush."

In a previous interview with 9Honey, Overton recalled the couple met when Rowe, who was 19, was doing work experience at Nine.

Overton was a sports reporter at the time, and they were both sent out to cover a story about a Russian boxer visiting Australia.
