DWTS host Jennifer Zamparelli has admitted her latest gruelling challenge has taken a toll on her marriage.
The former 2FM star recently revealed that she would be taking on the Women‘s Mini Marathon in Dublin this June 2025.
However, in a recent interview on Newstalk, Jennifer told how she “didn’t know what she got herself in for”.
When asked if she was enjoying her time training for the run, the 44-year-old responded: “No, I hate it, I’ve a gammy knee, an old lady knee and I also find it incredibly boring.”
But in order to keep herself motivated, the mum-of-two explained that she listens to “a lot” of interesting podcasts, while running on the treadmill.
Although the podcast idea did not entirely go to plan as Jennifer revealed: “But now, I just keep fighting with my husband.”
She added: “I’m listening to Diary of a CEO and listening to these relationship podcasts and going back to my husband and saying, ‘We’re doing everything wrong’.”
The TV star went on to confess that overall she is “not a runner” and that 5K is the “furthest she has ever run”.
The Dublin presenter and her husband Lauterio share two kids together; Florence, nine, and Enzo, six.
Earlier this month, Jen shared the hysterical way she made her son’s sick day even more “miserable”.
Jennifer does not regularly post her kids on social media but she made an exception for this.
The host told followers on Instagram that she had “lost two days” of work since her son, Enzo, had been staying at home from school with the flu.
The mum-of-two joked: “Miraculously, when I told him he didn’t have to go to school, his energy just came back it was amazing.”
In the next clip, Jennifer recorded Enzo playing with his toys at their kitchen table.
The little lad started to sing the Batman theme song and smiled up at his mum.
Jennifer tutted at her child as he continued to happily return to his toy cars.
MUM HUMOUR
But, the popular presenter had a better idea when it came to disciplining Enzo on his day off from school.
The funny lady shared a snap of Enzo doing some homework in their living room.
She then captioned the photo: “My new approach is now to make his sick day at home as miserable as possible.”
A second picture showed Enzo carrying a black bin bag full of rubbish and bringing it outside to their bin.
The TV star laughed: “Okay he’s getting really p****d off now!!”
