Entertainer Emma Watkins shares insights on the exceptional relationship she shares with her sister Hayley, a bond that seamlessly combines familial ties, shared profession, and close friendship.

The ex-member of the Wiggles, aged 35, disclosed that she shares life, work, and travel experiences with her 34-year-old sister, Hayley, in an unconventional arrangement where the boundaries between family and profession become indistinct.

In a nutshell, Emma shared with the Courier Mail that she and her husband Oliver Brian are not only living under the same roof but also working hand-in-hand, and truth be told, they wouldn’t want it any other way. (2022 being the year they got married.)

She added they are inseparable and even shared a suitcase while on tour together.

‘When Hayley travels, she’s incredibly organized – everything finds its designated spot in her well-organized packing case. On the other hand, I just throw things into mine haphazardly and cross my fingers for the best. To Hayley, my suitcase is like a game of chance and a headache,’ Emma remarked.

The Sydney-born performer mentioned that they shared a profound bond because they frequently met with Hayley.

Every day now, which is nice since during my time touring with The Wiggles, we didn’t get to spend much time together,” she mentioned.

It’s time for us to join forces and establish our business, spreading joy through music and dance to kids nationwide. We can hardly wait to make our way to Brisbane this month to partake in the Frozen celebration at Westfield Chermside!

Back when I was the Yellow Wiggle from 2013 to 2021 with that legendary kids’ crew, I lived, breathed, and danced in those stripes every day! But once I left, I just couldn’t let go of my love for music and performance. So, I created a brand-new character – Emma Memma – who embodies all the joy and energy I still have inside me!

In the year 2023, they contested as a team on “The Amazing Race Australia” on Channel Ten, and before that, they had shared details of a demanding task they participated in, but it was not broadcasted.

The siblings informed Yahoo that, upon their arrival in India, they were presented with an extremely challenging task of fire-eating, which they managed to accomplish despite its traumatic nature.

Hayley stated, “I ate a leaf that was on fire, an event that was truly traumatizing for me. If only others could have witnessed it.

You needed to prepare approximately 26 items using various ingredients each, and then eat one of them. Before putting it into your mouth, they set it on fire and quickly inserted it.

Emma mentioned that, having put up a tough fight to overcome their tasks, it was enjoyable for her to observe other groups grapple with their own struggles on television.

As a lifestyle expert, I find the charm of this program lies in the fact that participants get to witness each other tackling obstacles that weren’t necessarily handpicked by us or even visible to us, offering a unique perspective on their journey.

Reflecting on the current competition, there are numerous contenders to consider. We’ve been exchanging messages every Wednesday evening, expressing our mutual sentiment: “If only we had selected that particular candidate instead!

After acknowledging that they truly enjoyed their experience on the program, they also confessed that it proved more challenging than anticipated – yet, they might consider participating once more.

In 2022, Emma, the founder of a fresh children’s entertainment enterprise centered around her character ‘Emma Memma’, participated in a race to represent the Leonie Jackson Memorial Fund.

The charity focuses on the support of education and services for deaf and hard of hearing children.

Emma tied the knot with husband Oliver Brian in 2022 and have been going strong ever since.

In a small, heartfelt wedding held amidst the picturesque Victorian countryside, the lovebirds exchanged their vows, surrounded by 80 of their closest friends and relatives.

Emma got married to Lachy Gillespie, her fellow band member from The Wiggles, whom she developed feelings for, around the time she joined the group in 2012, as their professional and personal relationship intertwined.

In May 2015, they became engaged; they married in a rural area of New South Wales in April 2016; and in August 2018, they surprised everyone with the news of their separation.
