Monica Blackwell has been seen for the first time since her split from radio star husband Tim Blackwell.

Leaving her Western Sydney home, Monique looked a little tense as she got into her car.

She wore no makeup to run her errands and wore a loose bohemian sundress and Grecian sandals.

She seemed to be caught up in her thoughts and appeared distracted as she walked out of the house, carrying her phone in her hand.

On Sunday, Monique took to Instagram to share the sad news that her marriage had ended after 14 years.

They met on the most important day of Tim’s career.

Conversation with the Daily Telegraph Star The radio host revealed in 2018 that the couple met in 2002 after he moved to the city to launch local driving show Nova 93.7.

“This is the dumbest radio nerd story ever – one of the most important days of my career and, of course, the most important day of my personal life,” he said.

“I had all the big bosses in town, all the media. I was shaking and shaking like hell, but at the same time I was exhilarated.

“As soon as it was all over, we went downstairs and had a huge launch party, and Monique was part of the promotions team there at the time. She came over and I got up the courage to say, “I’m new in Perth and I’d like to take you out for coffee or something.”
