Celeste Barber has finally broken her silence on her split from her husband, Api Robin, weeks after news of their shock separation sent fans into a spin.<\/p>\n
The 43-year-old Aussie comedian took to Instagram on Tuesday to promote her makeup brand and alluded to the breakup by joking that she was only \u201cgoing to talk about the mascara\u201d but then ended the short clip by leaning close to the camera and whispering a message of gratitude to her followers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for all your lovely messages. I really appreciate it. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with the short video on her story, she also posted a carousel of photos after being unusually quiet on social media for the past few months following the news of the split.<\/p>\n
The selection of photos was captioned simply: \u201cTour starts next month.
