She has been Sydney’s PR queen and headline-making ‘it girl’ for over two decades.
And Roxy Jacenko closed that chapter on her life on Friday, jetting off to Singapore to start her new life with her husband Oliver and their two children, Pixie, 12, and Hunter, nine.
The 43-year-old posted a photo of herself on the plane, sitting in first class, along with the caption: ‘end of an era’.
Roxy and her clan spent their last few nights at the luxury Crown hotel in Sydney’s CBD.
Her children said goodbye to their school friends and their nanny Martinica Canha.
Sydney PR Queen Roxy Jacenko left Sydney for good on Monday morning and jetted off to Singapore to start her new life with husband Oliver and two children, Pixie, 12, and Hunter, nine
The Sweaty Betty founder revealed back in June tshe was leaving Sydney to live with her husband in Singapore.
She admitted her life in the harbour city has a stark difference to her upcoming new life overseas.
‘No one knows me there, no one has any preconceived idea of who or what I am, no one has any expectation, and best of all, no one actually cares!’ she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
‘In Singapore it was a matter of “Roxy who?” I actually found it really refreshing and a bit liberating.’
Roxy also said she was prepared to get a divorce when her husband Oliver moved to Singapore for work.

Her marriage was previously under scrutiny after it was revealed that she’d sold her family mansion in Sydney’s Vaucluse and shut down some of her businesses after Oliver relocated to the Southeast Asian country for a job.
Roxy later confirmed that she and Oliver didn’t split and she decided to move instead.
Speaking to The Kyle And Jackie O Show, she explained she’d argued with her 37-year-old husband about his decision to leave, noting that he’d had spent years splitting his time between Sydney and Tasmania for his previous job.
‘I basically said to Ollie, “look, you go to Singapore and I’ll stay here”. And he’s like, “well, I don’t know if that will work”. And I was like, “well, it’s worked for the last five years”,’ she said.
Roxy recalled how Oliver told her he needed to be a resident of Singapore for the sake of his job and personal finances.

Hunter also spent time with his school friends
‘I was like, “Ok, well then what’s my option?” He goes, “oh, we have to get divorced”.’
Surprisingly, Roxy said she was perfectly content with ending her marriage then and there.
‘I’m good with that. So just give me the paperwork, I’ll sign the paperwork we can get divorced. You do your job there and I’ll stay here. And we’ll visit’,’ she said.
However Roxy eventually decided against ending the marriage and agreed to move the whole family to Singapore for the sake of Pixie and Hunter.
‘It’s time. They need a dad around, and because he’s never here… like, he comes [back home to Sydney] like two days at a time,’ she explained.
She also blamed her long-distance relationship with Oliver as the reason why she constantly spoils her children with lavish gifts, claiming she struggles to tell her kids ‘no’ when he isn’t around.
Roxy later joked that Oliver ‘probably has a wife in each port’, adding: ‘But hey, whatever, it’s 2023.’
On Wednesday, Roxy was seen packing away her prized possessions ahead of the big move.

‘I don’t buy based on what I like. It’s more about what’s most saleable long-term as I look at my collection as an investment,’ she said.
