Toni Collette alludes to being ‘hurt’ after split from husband Dave Galafassi: ‘You owe it to yourself to stop being the excuse’
Toni Collette has hinted at heartbreak after splitting from husband Dave Galafassi after 20 years of marriage.
The 50-year-old Muriel’s Wedding star, who revealed the couple had parted ways earlier this month, published a poem by US-based activist Tony Ingram on Wednesday.
“You owe it to yourself to stop being the excuse. hold your hand and sing your favorite song to love another and see how far that will go. loving yourself and forgetting where you went in the first place. love is a funny story [sic]’ was the poem.

Toni is recovering from her recent split with Dave, which was made public when he was photographed kissing another woman earlier this month.
Dave, who was a drummer in an indie rock band when he met the Muriel’s Wedding star, was pictured bathing with chiropractor Shannon Egan in Manly early this morning.
Chron Australia contacted Toni’s management about the photos and hours later she announced the couple had split in a joint statement posted to her newly activated Instagram account.
