Comedian and former radio star Em Rusciano has confirmed the end of her marriage, opening up about the breakdown and her decision to walk away from full-time radio. The widely-known Australian entertainer admitted the relationship had reached a tipping point and that she felt she had become “very inconvenient” in both her personal and professional life.
Rusciano candidly revealed that her exit from her breakfast radio role was not just about motherhood and schedule demands, but also tied to deeper emotional turmoil. She described how the couple had grown apart, and that her evolving identity — as a public figure, mother of three, and creative woman — made her position increasingly unsustainable. In her words, being on air early, managing expectations and juggling family life had taken a toll. She said: “I became very inconvenient.”
While formerly embracing the spotlight, Rusciano now says she is seeking a quieter chapter, one where she prioritises wellbeing and authenticity. Her radio departure, which had been announced earlier, now takes on a new layer in light of her marriage ending — a professional exit that mirrors the personal. She emphasises that the parting has been difficult but necessary, describing it as painful yet liberating.
In true Rusciano style she retains humour and self-reflection: acknowledging both the grief and the promise of renewal. As she navigates the next stage, fans and followers are rallying around her honesty and resilience. The message is clear — sometimes stepping back is the bravest step forward.
