Kate Langbroek explained that her husband, Peter Allen Lewis, is being sued by the city of Bologna for breaking lockdown laws during the coronavirus pandemic.

She clarified to Triple M’s Moonman in the Morning that Peter, 44, had been caught riding his bicycle and was unaware that the rules for self-isolation in Bologna had changed overnight.

She also reflected on the family’s stressful weeks in self-isolation, joking that her and husband might be “getting a divorce” to celebrate their anniversary this weekend.

“Initially you were allowed to go out and exercise - which you know I would never do,” Kate said with a laugh. 

“Peter, my husband, actually got stopped by police on his bicycle three weeks ago at 7 am on a Sunday. They had changed the rules the night before. It was pretty intense. He's being sued by the city of Bologna.

“And they [the police] said to him, "Have you got a lawyer?’”

Kate then revealed that the lockdowns have gotten more intense.

“You cannot leave the house. I've probably left the house five times probably. It's just very difficult,” she added.

She spoke about her upcoming anniversary, saying that things have been a bit hectic.

“I said [to Peter], "How should we celebrate?’ And he said, ‘By getting a divorce!’”

She spoke to Hughesy & Ed that COVID-19 restrictions had brought her closer to her husband of 17 years, saying that they lie in bed like “little gumnut babies”.

"We lie in bed like little gumnut babies just clutching each other's hands until we fall asleep ready to start it all again the next day," she said.
