While he’s a household name for his career in television, Osher would be the first to say that things haven’t always been easy for him.

With a well-documented history of mental health problems, there have been times in Osher’s life where his OCD and psychosis made things incredibly difficult. However, things have only seemed to improve since he met his now-wife, Audrey Griffen, on the set of The Bachelor in 2014.

“She’s just an extraordinary human being,” is just one of the compliments he’s made publicly about her, while speaking to TV WEEK.

We’re pausing to look back at Osher and Audrey’s love story, and how Osher claimed it saved his life.

Osher met Audrey on the set of The Bachelor in 2014, after he’d moved on from his separation from his first wife, Noa Tishby.

“I had been chatting to a makeup artist I’d worked with for years about my love life, and I was complaining about how hard it was to meet someone," he told The Sydney Morning Herald in 2018.

“I remember saying I can’t go to bars because I don’t drink, and the last time I was single there were Nokia phones, and what is this Tinder thing?” he joked.

“She told me she was going off to another job, but had a replacement to do my make-up, and said, ‘she is lovely, she has a kid, and you’re welcome’.”

Osher seemed to fall in love with Audrey almost instantly.

“The day she started I turned up on the show and there was this beautiful vision of light,” he admitted.

However, Audrey was none the wiser.

“When I first met him at work he seemed rather aloof. But then we started chatting and we had these amazing conversations,” she said.

"There's a lot of bravado that's required in front of the camera, but he was quite shy and timid – a very self-deprecating and endearing side.”

Their first date was a gig at a comedy club, and it wasn’t much longer before the pair called it official.

Osher has admitted to being in a dark place at the time he met Audrey and her daughter, Georgia.

In his mental health documentary, Osher Günsberg: A Matter Of Life And Death, he referred to a difficult mental state during the year 2014.

“I was considering 10, 20 times a day, not being here anymore,” he admitted to TV WEEK. 

“I was dealing with these horrible thoughts, it’s so traumatic and distressing and awful. Eventually, you just get tired of fighting it.”

“I started having the most wonderful time with these two people, and thought, ‘These two are worth sticking around for; these two are worth getting better for,’” he said of his meeting Audrey and Georgia.

“From that point, I worked so hard, and I still work hard every single day, to try to get better.

“So, yeah, Audrey saved my life.”

Audrey and Osher tied the knot in 2016 in a small, intimate ceremony.

Osher became stepdad to Georgia, who is now 17. He recently celebrated her marking the milestone of getting her driver’s license.

“I am so incredibly proud of G. She worked really hard to get this, and she nailed it first try,” he wrote on Instagram beside a photo of Georgia holding up her red P-Plate.

“Better than me, I failed first time TWICE. Once in Brisbane at 18 and once again in LA, at the age of 32,” he admitted.

Audrey and Osher also grew their family in 2019, when Audrey gave birth to their son, Wolfgang.

Osher took to Instagram to announce the birth, penning a loving, proud tribute to Audrey and her birth story.

“That I've known Audrey for over five years, and yet had no idea that within her this whole time was an almighty divine force capable of bringing life into the world like this blows my mind and was astonishing to witness,” he said of Wolfie’s birth.

“As he came closer and closer, her body began to unleash an incredible energy that was absolutely not going to be held back. Yet Audrey was able to harness it, guide it, and use it to transcend the extraordinary pain she was feeling and channel it all towards an energy that brought this boy alive and well into the world.

“What I witnessed her do, the power I saw her summon from within her to bring this boy into the world was utterly astonishing. I can’t think of any single thing a man does in his life that physically equates to what I saw Audrey do.”

Wolfie is now two years old, and Osher has commented that he thinks he looks a lot like Audrey.

“Audrey’s got some powerful genetics on her side … Between the Chinese and the Fijian heritage, I don’t think I got much of a look-in.”

“I guess the only thing that would be like me would be when he crawls across the floor he always has both hands full. I’m that kind of guy. I tend to be very busy.”

These days, they live as a family of four as Osher continues to work on the likes of The Bachelor, The Masked Singer, and Bondi Rescue, while Audrey continues to work as a freelance makeup artist.
