'I left my fiancé... now we’re back together' with Zan Rowe
About this episode
Zan Rowe discusses her career, relationship challenges, and personal growth after leaving her fiancé and finding their way back together.
Hello! Today, we're joined by Australian radio and television presenter Zan Rowe. One of Australia’s most recognisable voices, Zan spent more than two decades behind the microphone at Triple J and Double J before making the leap to television with Take 5, the TV adaptation of her iconic radio segment. Today, she’s working on her latest hosting role on the 2026 season of Race Around the World. In this conversation, Zan reflects on her early life and the unexpected sliding-doors moment that led her to get a very unusual tattoo. She shares what it was like to achieve everything she’d worked towards in her career, only to find herself so burnt out that she couldn’t enjoy it, and explains why she ultimately decided to leave radio after more than 20 years. Zan also opens up about her relationship with her partner, Geoff, revealing how the pair made the difficult decision to end their engagement after seven years together. She shares how they found their way back to each other and why the space apart made their relationship stronger than ever. If you’d like to support Zan, you can watch Take 5 or Race Around the World on ABC iview now! Thank you so much to Deakin University…
