The Wiggles Lachlan Gillespie and Emma Watkins are spotted holding hands at Sydney pub

The Wiggles Emma Watkins and Lachlan Gillespie performed for the first time last week since announcing their shock split earlier this month. Now, it seems the former couple are gradually easing their way back into touring with one another. 

On Tuesday, the bands official Instagram page shared a video of the pair singing, dancing and holding hands at the Merton Hotel in Rozelle, Sydney. 

The former couple looked at ease as they danced and twirled together during the performance.

Lachy and Emma's pub appearance was part of the purple Wiggles side project with fellow bandmate Anthony Field, a folk band called The Unusual Commoners.

Playing the tunes!

The outing comes after Lachlan and Emma took to the stage for young children at St Mary's Rugby League Club in Sydney on Sunday. 

At the time, the Daily Telegraph reported the dynamic between the pair was 'tense' and 'awkward.' 

Their body language during the performance was supposedly 'a little flat', the publication reported, and at one point Lachlan offered his hand to his ex, which she 'refused to accept.'

It remains unclear if this was an arranged part of the performance, a mistake in the choreography or a possible sign of tension.

⭐️ Lachy ⭐️ We have, and continue to share, the most beautiful life together, but we wanted to let you know that privately for the last six months we have been navigating through a trial separation, and we have made the decision to separate as a couple. Throughout that period, we have performed hundreds of shows together and that is always a continued source of joy for us both. We have embraced this as a very positive change in our relationship. Our incredible friendship has been strengthened throughout this time and what we have discovered is that, more than ever, first and foremost we love and adore performing as Emma and Lachy in The Wiggles and having the privilege of celebrating this happiness with extraordinary families around the world. We have chosen a different path to travel in our personal lives, but please know that we are stronger than ever and we can't wait to see you at a show soon. We will not be commenting beyond this, and we thank you in advance for respecting our privacy. Lots of love, Emma and Lachy xx @lachy_wiggle

At the time of their split announcement, the couple stated they would remain 'good friends.'
