• And when there is less time for each other or not as much effort to keep it stable, marriages collapse.
• The same happened in the life of ABC News Breakfast host, Lisa Millar.

Lisa Millar talks of her divorce

The ABC News Breakfast host, Lisa Millar served as a foreign correspondent before she landed this job as a TV host.

The previous gig demanded long and grueling working hours. And she stated recently that this had a major part to play in her divorce.

Lisa started her current job in August 2019. And she was for 11 years overseas. She covered major and breaking news such as the terrorist attacks on Washington DC and London. Lisa was 24/7 into her work and could not have any quality family time with her husband.

She did not reveal the identity of her ex-husband but said:

‘I don’t mind saying that I’m divorced and that the stresses of the job would absolutely have been a factor that contributed to that.’

‘He moved to London with me, but then we struck a couple years in Europe where it was just so challenging, with all these terrorist attacks and then my dad dying.’
