Jessica Rowe is all smiles as she dons glittering jewels at Fairfax & Roberts event in Sydney
Jessica Rowe ensured all eyes were on her when she stepped out at a Fairfax & Roberts event in Sydney on Thursday night. The TV veteran, 54, was all smiles as she posed in a cropped jacket and mini adorned with intricate detailing. Jess paired her eye-catching look with a chic white blouse, white tights and her million-dollar smile - but her earrings were the star of the show. The glittering showstoppers bedazzled in diamonds had onlookers drooling as Jess worked her magic on the photo wall. The bubbly blonde and her husband Peter Overton recently welcomed a kitten into their family member. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Jess shared a heartwarming photo of Peter kissing the kitty in May and captioned it with some hilarious words. 'Say hello to the man who said "no" to getting a third pussycat!! Pete is smitten with our new kitten Diana!' Jessica wrote. Many of Jess' celebrity friends took to the comment section to gush over the adorable photo. 'She is a sweet angel,' wrote comedian Kirsty Webeck and Samantha Armytage added a laughing emoji. It's been a difficult few months for the power couple. The Nine News veteran was recently forced off air to undergo surgery on his vocal chords after doctors discovered a polyp. In March, Jess and her teenage daughter Giselle were able to joke about Peter's recent health scare in the face of adversity. She told Daily Mail Australia that her husband of 21 years was delighted to be back at work after several months off. 'Peter is good. He's all good,' Jess said, as she and Giselle attended Marie Claire's International Women's Day luncheon. 'Obviously it was scary at the time. It's nice he's back at work. He's loving being back at work and we're loving having him out of the house.' Prior to that, Peter said he was terrified by the ordeal because the surgery left him unable to talk for a week. News of Peter's shock health scare was broken by his wife. She shared a photo to Instagram of Peter hugging their pet dog and captioned it with some alarming words. 'Peter doesn't do Insta and he wanted me to share some news. He's off work for a little longer at the moment,' she wrote. 'After an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon discovered a polyp on one of his vocal cords, which explains his very raspy voice over the holidays.' She added Peter had already been in surgery and had to minimise his speaking as part of the recovery process, meaning he wouldn't be able to return to work for some time. 'He was operated on. Part of his recovery is no talking for now (a HUGE challenge for him!!). Hopefully he'll be back to Nine News soonish,' she explained. Peter described the polyp as 'like a big blister hanging off' his vocal cords. 'I must admit, it scared the living daylights out of me,' he said.
