And on Friday, Steve Jacobs did little to dispel the speculation as he celebrated his 54th birthday in Sydney with the blonde and their friends. 

The former Today show weatherman packed on the PDA, locking lips with Amanda.

They split just months after relocating to Vanuatu in what friends described at the time as a ‘last-ditch attempt’ to save their seven-year marriage.

‘I think there were a few people who sensed something was up when they moved to Vanuatu,’ a friend told Daily Mail Australia in 2018. 

‘The sea change was basically a last-ditch attempt to make things work, but it wasn’t to be unfortunately.’
