The radio star joked that her skills at creating the popular hairdo for her daughter were less than stellar. 

Kate wrote in the caption: Her reading [five stars]. My braiding [three stars]. #needswork #goodeffortaftertwentyfiveyears #methinks’. 

The actress juggles motherhood with a radio gig on Nova FM.

Kate shares Mae with her estranged husband, retired NRL player Stuart Webb.

The former couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Launceston, Tasmania, in 2010. They welcomed their daughter in August 2014.

Kate reportedly moved out of their marital home in Randwick in late 2019 after police took out an interim AVO on her behalf against Stuart, following an incident at the property.

New Idea reported last year the pair had been attending counselling to resolve their issues, but they weren’t able to save their marriage.    

She has since moved on with a younger man: 25-year-old businessman John Bell.

The pair recently enjoyed a trip to Byron Bay together.
