The popular single highlights the story of a 'scorned' woman who feels abandoned by a former lover who has moved on with someone new.

'Feeling pretty f***ing hardcore doing 5 min Pilates and blaring @alanis,' Celeste captioned the first video.

She then wrote in the second, 'I don't even need the backing track @alanis,' as she mimicked singing the song without music.

The Australian comedian shared a video to her Instagram Stories 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 leaning in close to the camera and whispering: 'Thank you for all your lovely messages. I really appreciate it. Thank you.'

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.'

'Our priority remains our children and their wellbeing. We kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this,' he continued.

Most recently, their social media posts have been entirely absent of one another, with both Api and Celeste sharing their last photo together in early November.

Celeste had just wrapped the US leg of her Backup Dancer tour with Api tagging along for the ride, sharing loved-up posts about their trip together.

She kicked off the tour in late October, with footage showing Api joining her backstage and expressing his pride over her blossoming career.

But their final post together came in the first days of November when the US tour came to an end and the couple jetted back home to Australia.

Celeste shared a reel of photos and videos from the trip on November 1, showing the pair looking happier than ever as they attended events and cuddled on a train.

The following day, Api shared a similar post that appeared to be even more loved-up as he said he was 'so proud' of his wife.

Since then, neither has mentioned the 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 life 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 that he and Celeste had split.

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