Angela and Phillip were introduced through her best friend. They quickly fell in love while she working as a reporter on Channel Seven’s Sunday Night current affairs program.

“He was my best friend’s best friend and then while I was doing all of these exciting stories around the world, chasing icebergs and all this crazy stuff, he would fly and meet me so we’ve had quite an adventurous relationship for two years now,” she told the Telegraph at the time.

What happened to Angela Cox’s mum?

Angela’s mum, Larelle, passed away peacefully in May 2023, following a four-year battle with cancer. She and her siblings became her primary carers in 2019, after she was diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease, a form of brain cancer, and given just weeks to live.

“When you’re cleaning up after your mum, feeding her, helping her shower, and you’re having to see someone who is so strong go through that…” Angela told New Idea.

“She believed so much in ‘living’ that you couldn’t go in and start crying. She wanted to look into your face and see hope, not pity. So, you had to be strong.”
