Ever-loving husband James was seen giving Jane a kiss as they sat in their backyard enjoying hearty bread, cheese and champagne.
“Such a perfect long weekend to celebrate our anniversary,” Jane wrote.
“What a crazy ride we’ve been on, I couldn’t imagine a better co-captain @thelazycfo,” she added, referring to James.
The couple married in 2019 with a ceremony and reception at the Sergeants Mess in Sydney’s affluent Mosman district on the lower north bank.

The couple honeymooned at the Qualia Resort on Hamilton Island.
They share two children: three-year-old son Lachie and eleven-month-old daughter Rosie.
Jane is a major success story in Australian entrepreneurship as CEO of Showpo.
In 2010, a friend suggested starting a business selling clothes at a pop-up stand.
“Such a perfect long weekend to celebrate our anniversary,” Jane wrote in the caption
She quit her job, emptied her credit card stash, and shoved it into the garage of her parents’ home in Balmain.
The clothing website is said to have made $85 million in 2019 alone.
Jane spent six months pretending to work at her accountancy firm while scouting out the latest trends at the stalls in Bondi bars and the Arthouse Hotel in the CBD.
“I still don’t know if they just turned a blind eye or if they really didn’t know,” she told Chron Australia in 2021.

“I felt a lot of guilt after everything they had done for me. ‘I had left a good job at a company to sell things online, which was just completely alien to them.’
In November 2010, the duo opened a permanent store on Broadway under the brand name “Showpony”, which eventually morphed into “Showpo” after the “ny” was dropped to avoid trademark disputes in the United States.
The Broadway outlet was followed by a kiosk in the middle of the Westfield CBD shopping center, which proved to be a “big money maker”.
Today, Showpo has a following of more than 1.8 million followers on Instagram, 1.3 million on Facebook and 95,700 on TikTok.
