Jay Blades' heartbroken wife sobs she 'couldn't be enough' for Repair Shop host after marriage split
Lisa Marie Zbozen, the wife of The Repair Shop's Jay Blades, recently confirmed her 18-month marriage was over in an emotional Instagram post.
The fitness star, who married the TV presenter in an intimate ceremony in Barbados in 2022, posted a statement online saying: "I don't know how to say this because it's still really raw." Alongside the black and white photo from their wedding day, Lisa - who admitted she has never "cried so much" - revealed that "things just got worse and worse, until I grabbed a bag of a few things and I left."
Following the announcement - where her followers have been incredibly supportive - Lisa has updated them once more through a tearful Instagram story.
The 43 year old, who recorded the video outside and refrained from showing her face, said: "OK I am going to try this for the fortieth time without crying. So, I just want to say thank you so much to everyone who has sent a message and been so nice."
Fighting back her tears, she continued: "I don't really, I still don't really believe that this is actually real because if you knew how much I loved my husband and how much I have tried to make this work over and over again. I just wanted it so much and I couldn't be enough. I couldn't seem to get it right ever."
After explaining her feelings, Lisa then directly addressed her followers, thanking them for all their kind messages and for sending her things to read during this difficult time. She noted how "helpful" this has been, sharing that her mind has been wandering into past memories "as opposed to facts."
She then empathised with some her her followers, saying she knows "there are a lot of you out there who resonate with what [she] is going through right now."
"I wonder when you get to the point where you won't feel so bad about yourself," Lisa reflected, as she continued: "When you don't feel like, you just don't understand why you just weren't enough? Why everything you did just didn't seem to be enough?"
In a later clip, Lisa confessed that she's just taking things "one day at a time," right now, and is taking "big breaths" as she looks toward her future. "It's just really sad, I should be angry but I just, I'm just sad," she shared.
