Shutting down split rumours that have been plaguing their relationship as of late, Anna Heinrich and Tim Robards just confirmed they’ve never been happier in their marriage.
WATCH: Anna denies their marriage is deteriorating in a stern interview
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, The Bachelor golden couple— who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Italy last year— said despite ditching their wedding rings and arriving at events separately, they aren’t on the verge of calling time on their marriage.
“Every year we get better as a couple because we have obstacles to get over,” said Anna, who met and fell in love with Tim on the hit dating series.
This isn’t the first time they’ve been forced to address swirling rumours their marriage is on the rocks. During an interview on Channel Seven’s The Morning Show in November, Anna was quizzed about the state of their relationship, once again reassuring fans the spark is still alive and they’re going strong.
“When you’re confident in your relationship, it doesn’t matter what people say,” said Anna, who recently starred alongside Kyle Sandilands in his pilot series, Trial By Kyle. “Tim and I, we’re just better than ever.”
The criminal lawyer also discussed the drama that came with their somewhat awkward appearances at the Melbourne Cup last month, revealing she and Tim attended the big day with separate brands meaning they were unable to spend time together.
In October, KIIS FM star Kyle feuled split rumours, revealing during an episode of The Project that Anna’s marriage to the personal trainer will “never be right”.
“This morning, I had her on my radio show, and I said: ‘What’s the deal with your husband living in Melbourne trying to be an actor on Neighbours?’ and she said: ‘He’s signed for a year’.”
After panellist Tommy Little laughed awkwardly, Kyle suggested he knew more about their relationship than he was letting on, saying: “Hmmm… I feel there’s trouble there. No, no there’s no trouble there. Watch that space. Something’s going on!”
Kyle slammed the couple the next morning, saying he was, once again, “worried” about their long-term relationship.
“I think that Tim has abandoned her with the move down to Melbourne for Neighbours. She’s still living in Sydney, and that worries me. ‘He’s moved down there permanently and he’s left her behind,” Kyle said, referring to Tim’s move to Melbourne after scoring a full-time role on Neighbours.
Tim later took a swipe at the radio shock jock after he uploaded a photo of himself an Anna and one follower asked, “Does she get danger money for having to work with Kyle Sandilands? That’s the important question here.”
Tim shadily responded: “Haha he’s harmless… Kinda.”
