JIMMY BARNES REVEALS 'HOW JANE SAVED ME'

AFTER 41 YEARS, THE BARNES' ARE MORE IN LOVE THAN EVER!
Jimmy Barnes' face lights up with joy whenever he talks about “my girl” - aka his gorgeous wife, Jane. His strong and famous husky voice overflowing with warmth, it seems that even after all these years the legendary rocker still can't believe he struck it so lucky in love.
Jimmy's 41-year union with Jane is one he celebrates often. In February, he wished his “darling girl” a happy Valentine's Day in a public declaration of love to his 191,000 Instagram followers, but went one better on Jane's 64th birthday in January when he serenaded her with The Ronettes' famous song, 'Be My Baby.

Be it on a stage or at home, Jane and Jimmy love performing together.
DUET PARTNERS FOR LIFE
Jane, a seemingly ageless beauty, played guitar and gazed lovingly into Jimmy's eyes as a large contingent of their family – which includes seven children, 15 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren - gathered around to celebrate the milestone. The lyrics seemed particularly poignant.
“The night we met I knew I needed you so. And if I had the chance, I'd never let you go," Jimmy, 65, sang. “So won't you say you love me. I'll make you so proud of me... So won't you please (Be my, be my baby).”

Jimmy and Jane tied the knot on May 22, 1981. "Our time together has gone by in a heartbeat, and you are always in my heart," Jimmy penned last year.

Yuletide ANGELS
When Renee Speranza and Dom Orlando tell people they are Christmas tree stylists, the assumption is they're hired by people who have cash to splash, and live in homes that require enormous and perfectly styled decorations. While this can be true, the pair, both mums, also work with families who need help for some very different reasons.
