The shock death of their eldest daughter Jaimi, who passed away at 33, has seen the pair reunite to support their family, including their youngest children, daughter Morgan, 30, and son, Jett, 26.

Last week, former Olympic swimmer Lisa, who married Grant in 1986, marked the six-month anniversary of Jaimi’s passing, telling her Instagram followers she will be “forever remembered, forever young, forever beautiful, forever free.”

But it’s not just tragedy that’s bonded the duo.

The former couple were recently overjoyed as they attended the 3rd birthday of their oldest grandson, Flynn, together at Morgan’s home on the Sunshine Coast.

Posing together with their youngest grandson, four-month-old Taj, the pair looked every bit proud grandparents.

In a touching sentiment, Lisa recently revealed that she constantly keeps Jaimi in the thoughts of her family.

“Flynn and I talk about you often,” she said, adding, “To him, you are little Jaimi Wagtail, the bird that is always around wherever I go… We love you, Jaimi.”

Lisa Curry has been doing her best to navigate life after Jaimi, and she has recently turned to her first love, swimming, to help herself through this tough time.

She shared her return to the pool in a touching interview she posted on her Instagram.

The young boy exclaimed, “Yeah!” clearly excited to be given an Olympic level swimming lesson from his doting grandmother.

“Good boy! Yay! What Olympics is that? 2040 Olympics, 50 freestyle,” the proud grandmother can be heard telling Flynn.
