The Australian comedian, 43, shared a video to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, promoting a mascara from her makeup brand BOOIE when she broke her silence.

In her typical fashion, the entertainer joked she was only 'going to talk about mascara and that's all we're going to talk about - how great this mascara is'. 

However, she finished the short clip by then leaning in close to the camera and whispering: 'Thank you for all your lovely messages. I really appreciate it. Thank you.' 

It comes after Celeste made a return to social media following the shock news she has separated from her husband Api.

She shared a gallery of video clips to Instagram last month, in which she cheerfully promoted her BOOIE Beauty label's new sunglasses.

Celeste beamed as she modelled the slick eyewear in a variety of different poses, excitedly telling followers they were set to be launched soon.

She also appeared in a cheeky ad for the label, in which she arrived on set to film a commercial and then had to leave as she had forgotten to bring the sunglasses.

'A collab that felt inevitable, and feels just right. ⁠BOOIE's always been about getting you out the door, feeling good, without overthinking it. ⁠Lips on. BAM⁠. Cheeks done. BAM⁠. Sunnies on. BANG⁠,' BOOIE wrote on social media.

Celeste made no mention of her husband in the posts, which came a week after he announced their shock split.

Api confirmed the couple had decided to end their marriage after 20 years together, a day before Valentine's Day.

'The past few months have been incredibly challenging and deeply heartbreaking for us both,' an Instagram post, captioned 'Heavy hearts', began.

'After much reflection, the decision has been made to separate.

'There is still love and respect between us, but sadly we are at capacity and have come to recognise we may want for different things.'

Since then, neither have mentioned each other on their social media accounts, with Api even changing his bio from 'hot husband' to 'formerly hot husband'.

Christmas and New Year came and went without the pair sharing their usual heart-warming celebrations and tributes to one another - an unusual move given how frequently they share their married lives online.

It seemed Valentine's Day would be the telling moment, with eagle-eyed followers holding their breath to see if Celeste and Api would reaffirm their love for each other.

However, Api swooped in at the last minute, beating Saint Valentine to the punch as he revealed on February 13 he and Celeste had split.

The couple share two sons named Lou Robin and Buddy Robin, while Robin has two daughters from a previous marriage.
