Toni Collette shares cryptic post about ‘believing in yourself’ post-split

Toni Collette has shared a cryptic Instagram post about ‘learning to believe in herself’ again after splitting from her husband Dave Galafassi. 

The Muriel’s Wedding star, 50, said on Sunday the motivational quote was her daily ‘inspo’, or inspiration.

‘Always believe in your soul. You’ve got the power to know you’re indestructible,’ it began.

‘I’ll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years. Nothing’s gonna touch you in these golden years.’ 

The post comes a month after Toni announced her split from Dave, to whom she had been married for 20 years.

The pair’s break-up became public knowledge when Dave, who was a drummer in an indie rock band when he met the About a Boy star, was pictured passionately kissing chiropractor Shannon Egan at Manly Beach in Sydney.

Daily Mail Australia contacted Toni’s management about the photos, and hours later she announced the pair’s split in a joint statement released on her newly reactivated Instagram account.

‘It is with grace and gratitude that we announce we are divorcing,’ the pair wrote.

‘We’re united in our decision and part with continuing respect and care for each other.

‘Our kids are of paramount importance to us and we will continue to thrive as a family, albeit a different shape. We’re thankful for the space and love you grant us as we evolve and move through this transition peacefully. Big thanks.’

The pair met in 2002 at the launch of Galafassi’s band’s debut album Metal Detector in Sydney and their second encounter came just a few days later at a house party.

They were married with Buddhist rituals on her property at Berry on the NSW south coast less than a year after they met, in January 2003.

Their daughter Sage Florence was born in January 2008 and son Arlo Robert in April 2011.
