The thing that made Hamish Blake fall for his wife, Zoë Foster Blake
This story is part of the June 8 edition of Sunday Life. See all 14 stories. Hamish Blake is best known as one half of comedy duo Hamish and Andy, and for hosting shows including Lego Masters: Grandmasters of the Galaxy. Here, the 43-year-old reveals what made him fall in love with his wife, writer and beauty industry figure Zoë Foster Blake, as well as details of his first heartbreak. My maternal grandmother was affectionately known as 'Moosie'. Not only was she very loving, but she was also a lot of fun. We went to her house in [Melbourne's] Wheelers Hill for dinner weekly, as she and Pop lived 10 minutes from our house in Glen Waverley. Moosie wasn't the greatest cook, but her meatloaf was presented to us like it was our favourite. I have no recollection of saying that it was, but it was made with such love that you just played along. Her favourite drink was Mateus Rosé. It came in this flat-shaped bottle. Moosie would have a few glasses and get a bit rowdy. She'd often take her shoes off because her feet had swollen up. Moosie died in 2019, but she's always with us. My mum, Kerry, took her love for us to the next level. She was an English literature teacher, and so we were a big reading family – not every kid in suburban Melbourne had a mum who was interested in exposing them to Shakespeare. Later on, she worked for the Melbourne Theatre Company and Opera Australia and I would go to opening nights. I recognise these as a formative experiences. My parents separated when I was 17, but there were no hard feelings from my older brother, Lachlan, younger sister, Sophie, and me. We just thought it was something they needed to do. I get on really well with my stepmother, Kriss. She and my dad, Noel, have been married for nearly 20 years. She is terrific and they make a great team. Growing up, my crushes were on people who made me laugh, rather than those I viewed as romantic, but I do have this memory of taking note of Carmen Electra when I was 15. My first real relationship was in year 11 with Anne, who had just finished year 12. She had a car, so that was a fast ascension into adult freedom. It was also the first time I'd explored the idea of being in a team and having a partnership with someone.
