There's a very long list of reasons we can validate our obsession with the Wilkinson-FitzSimons family.

While we won't list them out in their entirety, highlights include Peter and Lisa's honest approach to their 30-year marriage, how close the happy couple are with their three kids and their family dog Maggie who was paralysed from the waist down as a puppy.

Both Lisa and Peter have been wildly successful in their own rights, both with careers in television – Peter also appearing on radio and writing countless novels while Lisa is one of Australia's most loved TV hosts on Today and then The Project.

If their successful careers weren't enough, the couple have raised three gorgeous children, Louis, Billi and Jake.

Regularly sharing glimpses into their family life, the family shows just how extremely tight knit it is.

Recently chatting to Now To Love Lisa revealed the last of her kids "moved out of home two weeks before this [COVID-19 pandemic] all unfolded."

"What's been interesting for Pete and me is that because we've had such busy careers we've always said that we don't get to see enough of each other because we're so busy," Lisa went on to say of isolation with her husband.

"We feel very fortunate to have jobs that we love. But, when you get thrown together pretty much 24/7 we discovered this is actually the first time since we were first married that it's just been us, so almost 30 years."

While Lisa and Pete had to adjust to life in isolation, it doesn't seem they're struggling with their newfound empty nest just yet.

"Of course we miss them but, you know, 20-somethings coming back home can be a bit annoying if they do it too much," she said with a laugh.

They may be all grown up now, but we're looking back at some of the family's best snaps over the years.
