Kerri-Anne’s emotional tribute to her late husband and dear friend
Kerri-Anne Kennerley has shared an emotional tribute to her late husband John on their 39th wedding anniversary.
The former TV host posted a rare glimpse into her wedding day, as the newlyweds smiled alongside their friend Michael Parkinson, who recently passed away.
“Today would have been John and my 39th Wedding anniversary,” she began in the tribute post.
She then went on to acknowledge the death of her friend, who died on August 16th after a short battle with an illness.
“It is also a day to celebrate Sir Michael Parkinson. It was a privilege to know him as a friend and someone professionally who was a huge inspiration,” she wrote.
“I will never forget those two weeks on Good Morning Australia with Michael, an absolute masterclass,” she added.
Kerri-Anne’s husband John passed away in February 2019 after he suffered a fall from a balcony in 2016 that left him partially paralysed.
In September 2022, Kerri-Anne spoke about her grief to Daily Mail Australia, admitting she misses everything about her longtime love.
“You know, the little things, the big things. There's not a day... But as the years go by, I think it is ever so slightly easier. [But it] doesn't make it any less lonely,” she says.
While she wouldn't say if a future romance was on the cards, Kerri-Anne says she has a great support network to help her combat the waves of loneliness and grief.
“I've got lots of fab friends and family. I'm very, very close to my sister and brother in law,” she explains, adding she recently returned from her first overseas trip in three years.
“I have sensational friends who are very attentive and include me in lots of stuff, as does family.”
