Steve Jacobs hit by AVO from wife Rose
Just days after it was reported that former Channel Nine presenter Steve Jacobs and his wife had separated, more details are emerging about their shock split.
According to the Daily Mail, Port Vila Magistrates Court documents reveal Steve’s estranged wife Rose applied for a “restraining ex parte temporary domestic protection order” against her husband of eight years.
“The court received the application from the complainant and the application was assisted by the police,” a courthouse employee explained. “Police assisted Ms Jacobs in filing an application for a family protection order.”
The court was unable to reveal any further details about what prompted the AVO.
The Daily Mail reports that, under the conditions of the order, Steve must stay up to 100 metres away from Rose at all times, however he was still allowed access to the couple’s two young daughters.
“I think there were a few people who sensed something was up when they moved to Vanuatu,” a friend of the pair said. “The sea change was basically a last-ditch attempt to make things work, but it wasn’t to be unfortunately.”
The new details come amid reports Rose, 39, has already moved on with another man, Canadian soldier Dylan Nash, who she met through friends in Vanuatu.
“They’ve been dating for a few months now and he has been rock solid support for her ever since the split,” a source close to the couple revealed.
“He’s an exceptional human being and they’re understandably taking things slow, but Rosie is over the moon.”
