Lisa Curry delights fans with Grant Kenny pictures: 'Well done'
They may have divorced six years ago but Lisa Curry and Grant Kenny are still the best of friends.
They divorced six years ago but Lisa Curry and Grant Kenny have proven they are still the best of friends.
The 61-year-old former swimmer, who had three children Jaimi Lee, Morgan and Jett Kenny, with Grant, took to her Instagram account to wish her ex-husband a happy 60th birthday, with fans loving the candid post.
“Happy 60th Birthday to my Grant, everybody’s mate, great father, friend and pa. Have a great day,” she wrote, tagging him in the post.
A stream of photos show how close the pair still are, with many old photos showing them all together as a family and a new one showing the pair smiling as they hold their adorable grandson.
“Makes my heart sing. Wish all divorced couples could be so nice to each other. Shows true family love,” one person commented.

“Love the way your family respect each of you and still can be kind to each other. Divorce doesn’t have to be horrible, but so many make it so sad.. well done for showing love,” another said.
Lisa and Grant were married for 28 years, with their split in 2009 coming as a huge shock to many Australians.
Speaking on Mia Freedman’s No Filter podcast in 2022, Lisa revealed how a camping trip made her realise their paths had changed.
"We could have probably separated years before that. And you make all the reasons why you shouldn't separate about everyone else," she said.
"Sometimes we hang in there because we're happy enough. But is being 'happy enough' what you really want? And is it enough?"
She continued, saying there were so many things she still wanted to do with her life, like travel, however she revealed: “Grant hates all that sort of stuff. He's a homebody."
"There were a few things [that were issues in the relationship]. And then when those few things are combined with other things, and more things, you think 'I'm kind of hanging in for all of the wrong reasons'. There wasn't one thing in particular - and it wasn't easy. And we talked about it a lot, and cried about it together," she said.
The former couple went on to share the devastation of the passing of their daughter, Jaimi at the age of 33 in 2020 after a battle with a long-term illness.
Lisa previously opened up about the ‘red flags’ she saw in Jaimi before her tragic death.
“I know people want to know why and how, but it’s not important at this time, or maybe ever, I don’t know,” she said in a post published in the Happy Hormones Facebook group.
Lisa, who starred on I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2017, said the diagnosis came 18 years ago, which is when they started to see some “tiny red flags”.
“Sometimes, an individual, even adults like us, can disregard little red flags, thinking it doesn’t matter or won’t matter,” Lisa’s post continued, urging people not to ignore the signs that she said could “add up to slowly erode your whole being”.

“To the point where you may only be existing and not really living,” she said.
The 58-year-old called some of the warning signs “life’s small neglects” - such as being inactive, being around toxic people, poor food choices, and how you interact with others.
“Don’t wait until it’s too late to make changes … do it now while you can … starting right now,” she said.
“Recognise the little red flags. Don’t live your life in turmoil, regret or guilt.”
In her emotional post, the mother said the whole situation still “doesn’t seem real”.
“We held Jaimi when she took her first breath and we held her as she took her last. I still can’t believe it, it doesn’t seem real,” she wrote.
“It’s given me the heaviest heart. Some days I can’t even get out of bed or function.”
