The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, had been splitting their time between Australia and the US, where Tessa was hoping to pursue a career in acting but have since returned to the Gold Coast while she undergoes treatment.

"Thank you for all your love, support and prayers during this time. It has simply been overwhelming. I can't thank you enough. All my love."
