Popular online personality and original ‘mummy blogger’ Constance Hall has revealed her husband Denim Cooke has temporarily moved out, as the couple take time apart amid mounting pressures at home.
In a deeply personal Facebook post shared with her followers, the Perth-based mother-of-six admitted their relationship had reached breaking point, describing how ‘everything’s falling apart’ behind the scenes.
Constance explained that Cooke, affectionately known as ‘Denz’, had gone away for a couple of weeks so they could gain some much-needed space.
‘There is still as much love as always – but there is also way too much snapping at each other,’ she wrote.
The influencer didn’t shy away from detailing just how strained things had become, revealing the pair had slipped into constant bickering over household responsibilities and work pressures.
‘We got so bad… we’re at the ‘well I’m not doing it, I did (xyz)’ stage of our relationship. And it’s s***,’ she admitted.
Constance described how their once-balanced dynamic had unravelled as life had grown more demanding, particularly with Denz taking on physical work around the home while she juggled work and parenting.
‘Everything’s falling apart, the house is a mess, the kids need more attention,’ she said.

She said the situation has escalated into heated arguments, with the busy mum recalling one particularly tense exchange in which she accused her husband of developing an inflated ego.
‘I was telling him that his sense of importance all of a sudden had turned him into The Wolf of Wall St.’
She also claimed Denz, in turn, had accused her of jealousy – something she said left her feeling misunderstood and deeply hurt.
‘I could never ever be jealous of him… don’t you just get filled with pride when they do well because they are a part of you?’ she said.
Hall offered followers a glimpse into the often unseen dynamics of their relationship, explaining how their workload had always felt equal, but just in very different ways.
She described her husband as the physical backbone of the household, capable of powering through tasks with ease, while she handled the mental load, particularly anything involving technology or organisation.
‘What people don’t see is that he can’t do anything related to tech… ordering dinner has him scratching his head for an hour.’
Despite their differences, she said the balance had worked without resentment and only gratitude – until recently.

She noted how the strain had also been compounded by significant financial pressures, revealing she had faced ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’ in expenses after selling her home.
She detailed mounting costs including tax bills, school fees, business investments and existing loans, all while trying to expand their home to accommodate their large family.
‘Our s*** needs to get together pronto.’
The couple are also navigating the challenge of becoming owner-builders, adding further pressure to an already stretched household.
But despite the turmoil, Constance made it clear the separation is not the end, but rather a reset.
‘I’m the one who called it… we have nothing if we don’t have each other,’ she said.

She believes time apart will ultimately strengthen their bond, revealing she already misses him.
‘There is no medicine for love quite as powerful as space. I already miss him… my gorgeous, kind, strong, warm man.’
The candid update comes after Constance previously opened up about frustrations in her marriage, including feeling overwhelmed by the mental load of running a household.
In an earlier post, she admitted she was ‘treading water’ while juggling parenting, work and domestic responsibilities – a sentiment that resonated with hundreds of her female followers online.
Her latest revelation has once again struck a chord, offering an unfiltered look at the realities of long-term relationships, parenting and the pressures that come with both.
‘This is such an honest post but an important one,’ one supporter wrote.
‘A healthy breathing space to feed your souls so you can enjoy each other again. Life is too short to stay in that bickering stage of life.’
‘You got this. People need to see the reality of relationships, [and] having a break for yourself is normal,’ another agreed.
