Before the divorce announcement, Collette shared a cryptic post on her Instagram story that talked about achieving better for yourself regardless of the situation. He wrote per Page Six“No matter what your current situation is, if you can imagine something better for yourself, you can create it.”
A day ago, Galafassi was seen showing some serious PDA with another woman, later identified as 41-year-old Shannon Egan. He is reported to be an “‘integrative chiropractor” and has over 15 years of clinical experience.
According to the picture posted by Daily Mail, the pair were together on a Sydney beach, making out, holding hands, and deep in conversation. They extended their friendly session from coastal waters to land while soaring high. An eyewitness described them as “together” as they exited.

The former couple first met each other in 2002 at a party to celebrate Australian rock band Gelbison Galafassi’s debut single, “Metal Detector.” While talking to The Sydney Morning Herald in 2014, the actor revealed that he attended another party after the first one, and “he was the first person I saw … and I kind of melted.”
They formed their own group, Toni Collette & the Finish, where she was the lead singer, and Galafassi did his drumming duties. They released an 11-song album, “Beautiful Awkward Pictures,” in 2006, featuring Collette’s vocals and songwriting skills.
The actress seemed more in love with Galafassi in 2019 during her interview with him Now for Love. While promoting her film “Wanderlust,” Collette said, “My husband is a good man. He’s so patient. He’s great with our kids, and he’s so loving, caring and supportive. He puts other people first. I’m the luckiest woman, I really am.”

In the same interview in 2019, Collette revealed that she had spoken with her husband, Galafassi, about the theme of “Wanderlust,” one of which was infidelity. The actress said she had no intention of entertaining an open relationship in her marriage. She also revealed that her husband loved her performance in the film.
“This [having an open relationship] not something I would entertain in my own marriage,” says Collett. “But my husband has seen the whole show, and his one comment is that even though it’s a little confrontational at times, he insists it’s the best work I’ve ever done , which I found very moving.”
The actress previously left Instagram but reactivated it last week to commemorate her birthday. In her first post a while ago, Collett shared a photo of herself with a mug with “Happy Birthday” written on it. He captioned it, “I’m back. Hey world. I love you.”
