The now 53-year-old was the golden girl of television during the 90s and remains one of Australia’s most successful screen and theatre actors. Following her iconic role as Maggie Boyle on the popular series, Lisa went on to perform in various musicals such as Cabaret, The Sound of Music and South Pacific.
Just like other stars, Lisa’s career and successes aren’t the only topic of conversation… Lisa’s personal life from her marriage to her family life has been commonly discussed and wondered about by fans and the general public. As Lisa quickly becomes a fan favourite on DWTS, fans are growing curious, yet again!
Keep reading to learn all about Lisa McCune’s family life…
Is Lisa McCune still married?
Lisa was married to Tim Disney, a film technician who was part of the Blue Heelers crew. The pair married on February 18, 2000, and had three children over the course of their relationship.
Lisa and Tim have never publicly revealed whether they got a divorce, however, they also kept their separation very private. In 2012, Lisa found herself in the midst of a scandal and made tabloid headlines after being photographed kissing her South Pacific co-star Teddy Tahu Rhodes.
Lisa continued to keep her private life out of the media and took some time out of the spotlight. It wasn’t until an interview with Australian Women’s Weekly in 2021 that she publicly stated she was “happily single.”
Who are Lisa McCune’s kids?
Lisa and Tim had three children together: Archer, Oliver, and Remy. They welcomed their first child, Archer, in 2001, followed by Oli in 2003 and their daughter Remy in 2005.
In that same interview with AWW, Lisa openly discussed her living arrangements following the separation. “Tim and I are very much dual parenting. We are all over them as parents. I think it takes two people a lot of the time,” she told the publication.
“We all live on one property so we’re here for the kids – we have to because our work is so all over the place.”
Lisa keeps her children out of the media and rarely shares photos or insights into their lives. However, she has previously spoken to our sister publication TV Week where she revealed that her role in How To Stay Married was the “closest reflection” of her own life she’s ever done.
At that time, she revealed she was entering the next stage of motherhood in which her kids didn’t need her as much.
“They’re going through this thing where they’re like, ‘Don’t do anything for me, Mum.’ And I tell them, ‘But if I had someone else staying in my house, I’d probably still make them breakfast, or offer them a coffee. I naturally want to share, so give me a break!'” she told the publication.
“My kids find me extremely annoying, which I think is actually my role now – to play the annoying mother. I figure I’m just going to live with it and play that person – I’m not going to try to lessen it.
“And if I want their rooms tidy or their washing done, I’m going to tell them to do it. I’m not here to be your friend, but to be your mother.”
