PR queen Roxy Jacenko has opened up about the cringeworthy moment in 2017 when she was caught on camera kissing her ex while her husband Oliver Curtis was serving prison time for insider trading.
The photos showed the 45-year-old embracing her former boyfriend, millionaire property developer Nabil Gazal, at a post dinner party at his luxury apartment.
Describing the embarrassing moment as ‘stupid’, Roxy said the incident led her to a personal ‘reinvention’.
‘I look back now, it was a hard time,’ Roxy said in an interview with Sydney Confidential on Sunday.
‘Oli was obviously going through what went on with him legally. I had cancer. And I did something really stupid and I will never forget it.

‘But at the end of the day, what I think the important thing is … is how you reinvigorate and reinvent yourself after that. I mean, I am the queen of reinvention really.
‘No matter how hard it gets, I get myself up and I keep going.’
Elsewhere in the chat, Roxy put down rumours that she has split from her husband after 13 years of marriage.
‘Oli is my best friend,’ she said. ‘He is a good guy. He is very good with the children. Much better than me. I am not hands on, he is very hands on.
‘We have been through the lowest lows, there is no doubt about it. Does he irritate me beyond comprehension … yes. But at the same time, he is a really good guy.’
Speculation that the couple have separated rose after Roxy moved back to from Curtis’ home-base in Singapore at the end of 2024.
Roxy is believed to be spending one week a month in Sydney.
