Waring listed a number of reasons that could have caused Lyon to start dating Perth real estate agent, Emma McCarthy. In a candid post, Waring, a mother of two girls, wrote: "In December of 2017, my world came falling down around me. Life as I knew it was over and my soulmate was gone, leaving me and our girls to pick up the broken pieces and try to find a way to move forward alone. Every day I go through the same questions in my mind. Why was I not enough?

"What did I ever do to him? Was it that I did too much or not enough? Is it because I put on weight? Because sometimes I really couldn't be bothered shaving my legs or doing my hair?"
