Skye Wheatley left fans scratching their heads on Wednesday after revealing that she and partner Lachlan Waugh are “on a break” and are “raising their two children together”.
“So there’s a bit of confusion around a couple of my recent posts when I’m talking about co-parenting with Lachy,” she began.
“Basically, we tested co-parenting. So I would have the kids two nights, then he would have the kids two nights. And then yes, two nights on two nights off.’
Skye said Lachy was begging her to “come home” to her co-parenting experiment soon.

“After he did that for a bit, he said, ‘Okay, you can come home now,'” she said.
“Because, yeah, obviously, I don’t think he liked it. We like to be together as a family. But I feel like we just needed a break. Just a little break.
“Obviously I didn’t want to be away from the kids for as long as we were away from each other. So we just made parents together for the break time. Hopefully that makes sense.”
That admission left fans wondering if the couple, who met on Tinder in 2017, ended their relationship.

In the comments section of an Influencer Updates AU post, several fans praised Skye for stepping down to take time for herself.
“I really respect that, they tried something for themselves and their children to ensure their happiness. Good for them,” one commented.
“Normalize parents/relationships that sometimes need a break for family health,” added another.
Some fans accused Lachy of not “pulling his weight” in the relationship and speculated he only asked Skye to come home so he wouldn’t have to “single parent”.
Meanwhile, others were confused as to whether their romance was on the rocks.
“This is so confusing,” one said, while another added, “Wouldn’t that indicate they broke up? I hope not!’
“I feel like maybe it’s coming to an end, but they are so cute and funny, I love them so much. I hope it works,” predicted one fan.
“And she said like a week ago hurry up and propose,” commented another.
