Purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie loves to show off his Australian Ballet dancer girlfriend, Dana Stephensen, any chance he gets, following his shock split from wife Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins.

Lachy shared of photo of him snuggled up to Dana as they lay together – no doubt in coronavirus self-isolation.
One person commented: “Time for a quarantine baby!”
“Put a ring on that finger! We want Lachy babies,” another said.
“It’s so sweet you found love again! Happy for you. My kiddos love you guys!”
But Lachy isn’t the only one to have moved on.
Yellow Wiggle Emma is said to be happy for her ex-husband Lachlan: “All The Wiggles members, including Emma, are really happy for Lachy.”
Purple Wiggle star Lachy reportedly met the mum-of-one on the set of the highly popular children’s show in December 2018, just four months after he and Emma announced they had called time on their romance.
Late last month, Emma opened up about her divorce, telling WHO that separating from her husband of two years was the best decision she ever made!
“We are the best of friends and we were always meant to be,” she told WHO online exclusively.
“We were close before we started dating and now we’ve come full circle! We have been through the whole process of being Wiggly dancers, then Wiggles in training and then finally Wiggles… I actually don’t know if I could ever imagine The Wiggles tour without him.”
For most, working with an ex-partner so soon after separating would be difficult, even at the best of times. But the affable entertainer says it’s been an easy process— and, surprisingly, their divorce brought them closer together.
“Lachy is the only person I’ve experienced this whole Wiggles journey with the whole way through,” she began. “At the time of our split, we were both learning a lot and both changing as adults. It’s definitely bizarre and not a normal situation but because we are playing music, dancing with each other and always interacting, it’s actually brought us closer together.
“We can work together and we are better than ever. We have done all of the highlights and lowlights and now we’re here! We appreciate each other so much more”
When asked whether it’s ever awkward, the professional dancer says they have no time to fret about the small things.
“We’re so busy touring nine months of the year that we don’t buy into any of that. We just get each other and we are so connected.”
Emma declared she was in love with her new man Wiggles band member Oliver Brian last year.
Speaking to Stellar, she said: “Yes, I’m in love and I feel very excited to tell you …
“He’s very opposite to me. He’s a very calm and thoughtful person and I’ve always been interested in his mind and his take on life, and his morals. He loves talking about the environment and food production. It’s not very ‘Wiggly’, but it’s been nice for me to talk about things not just concerning ourselves, but people everywhere around the world.”
