Back in 2015, Australian comedian, actor and writer Celeste Barber, 42, set out to prove just how funny she could be. She made a name for herself by poking fun at the world’s biggest celebrities, recreating photos and posting them on Instagram with the hashtag #celestechallengeaccepted.

One of her early posts – a spot-on parody of Kim Kardashian in skimpy lingerie on a dirt mound – went viral, launching her into the spotlight.

Those who follow Barber on Instagram might recognise a familiar face: her husband, Api Robin. With nearly 10 million followers keeping an eye on her feed, her partner is frequently spotted, always ready to join in the fun.

 

Celeste has affectionately nicknamed him her “hot husband”, a title that’s even become his Instagram handle. The couple have been together for two decades and are closer than ever.

“He’s the most fantastic human being in the whole land. I’m just obsessed with him,” Celeste told The Australian Women’s Weekly in 2020. “He takes it all in his stride and he’s really supportive and excited by how well I’m doing, because he knows what I do really makes up who I am,” she added.
