Bartholomew and Varcoe, a journalist, have been dating for six years. The couple met while working at radio station 2GB.
Speaking to Fairfax Media in 2014, Bartholomew revealed it was Varcoe's quirky social media presence that made her want to make the first move.
"We were friends on Facebook and he has weird status updates and I always thought he was very cute and quite funny in the office so I asked him out on a date," she said.
After Varcoe turned down her offer of a drink, Bartholomew said she pursued him for months before the couple had their first date at the theatre.
"It was a Geoffrey Rush play that went for three hours. If you can survive that, you can survive anything."
