Cathrine Mahoney, the ex-wife of rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns, has shared details about their relationship in her new memoir, 'Currently Between Husbands.' The book, released this week, explores her marriage to the Newcastle Knights legend.
Mahoney met Johns in 2002, and they married in 2007. The couple has a 13-year-old son, Louis. They separated in 2011, reconciled, and then split again in 2014.
In an interview with Stellar, Mahoney said that time has changed her perspective on the marriage. 'I was bonkers crazy in love with Andrew, and he was with me. It just didn't last the course,' she said.
Drawing on her experience as a publicist, Mahoney noted the challenges of being with a celebrity. 'I'd get exhausted sometimes being with Andrew because you'd have to smile all the time – usually when you were in the middle of a big argument,' she explained.
Mahoney, a former publicist for Sony Music, Nine, and Nova, now hosts the podcast 'So, I Quit My Day Job' and co-hosts 'Not Another Parenting Podcast.'
Johns is currently raising a three-year-old daughter with his partner, yoga instructor Kate Kendall. He previously split from his first wife, Renae Chapman, in 2002.
