'It has been a weird time for us. I think we just realised that we were meant to be best friends,' she told the publication.
'I wanted to make the decision to separate…I am very independent and my mum keeps telling me that no one is going to be able to tell me what to do.'
Continuing, Emma said, 'We are not really cranky at each other, we just realised that our situation had changed...probably more from me, than from him.'
Emma and Lachy announced their split in August. However, the couple actually split earlier this year - with purple Wiggle Lachy moving out of their Sydney home in February.
The pair continue to work together as part of the children's group, The Wiggles.
