The love is definitely very much alive in Jessica Rowe and Peter Overton’s marriage.
Jessica, 55, took to Instagram on January 13 to reveal that they had marked their 22nd wedding anniversary by jetting off on an extra special trip.
The podcaster shared that they returned to the Maldives, where they had their honeymoon, with their two daughters, Allegra, 18, and Giselle, 16.
Sharing photographs from the “full circle” trip, Jessica penned a loving tribute to her husband in an accompanying caption.
“Full circle… Petee & I got married 22 years ago & had our honeymoon in the Maldives,” she gushed.
“How lucky we are to return all these years later with our precious girls. Happy anniversary my darling Petee.”
While the pair seem like a match made in heaven now, their love story almost didn’t happen!
Read their love story below.
How did Peter Overton and Jessica Rowe meet?
Peter admitted in an interview that he initially had “no interest” in dating when he first crossed paths with his future wife during the 2000 Summer Olympics.
Fast forward to the TV Week Logie Awards in 2001, and the pair crossed paths once more, but it wasn’t until a mutual friend called him and said ‘Mate, just ask Jessica out,” that he took action.
“I said, ‘If she rings me in the next 10 minutes, I’ll take her out on a date,’ so we went out and we’ve been together ever since,” he shared on The Apple & The Tree podcast hosted by Richard and Christian Wilkins.
What has Jessica Rowe said about their marriage?
Jess has previously told how even though they are opposites, they very much balance each other out.
“You ground me when I need to be grounded. We have the same moral compass, that’s why it works,” she emphatically told her husband.
In 2024, the former Today host turned podcaster also revealed intimate details about their private life on the KIIS 1065 Kyle & Jackie O show.
Jess shared that the couple still maintain a healthy level of intimacy, with ‘Petey’ calling his wife “pussycat” in the bedroom.
“First of all, yes, I did write about having sex on our kitchen bench in my book,” Jess said.
“But I’m not going to confirm about cat masks.”
When Kyle pressed Jess about dressing up in said masks, the mum of two wasn’t as open.
“No, I’m not confirming or denying,” she said.
Jess once described her husband as the “yin to my yang” on Instagram and has also said she “couldn’t do life without” Pete.
Jess also gushed that becoming Mrs Overton was “the best decision of my life.”
Who are Jessica Rowe and Peter Overton’s children?
Jess and newsreader Peter, 59, share teen daughters Allegra, 18, and Giselle, 16.
Their children often feature on their social media and have grown up in the public eye.
Allegra is already following in her mother’s footsteps and is exploring fashion and modelling.
She graduated from high school in September, and has been modelling for a few years alongside her schooling.
Allegra made her Australian Fashion Week debut in May 2023 and sought her famous mother out for advice at the time.
“We were in our kitchen, where there’s a big benchtop, and Mum was getting me to try different poses and faces. It was hysterical,” she told Stellar.
She is signed with Priscilla’s Model Management and was planning to pursue modelling full-time after her graduation, though it isn’t known if this is still the case.
