Roxy Jacenko spotted gardening with her kids after telling Daily Mail she is in ‘semi-retirement’ 

She recently revealed she had lost 85 percent of her business due to the coronavirus recession. 

And with the work slowing down at her Sweaty Betty PR firm, mother-of-two Roxy Jacenko was seen enjoying some free time with her children, earlier this month. 

Swapping her mobile phone for a rake, the blonde beauty, 39, did some gardening outside of her Vaucluse mansion with her daughter Pixie, eight, and son Hunter, five.

She was seen cleaning up the pavement in front of their home by raking up twigs and dried leaves.

Roxy wore a wrist strap to give her support while doing the chore.

She told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday: ‘I have a Grade 3 sprain in my wrist from lifting a barbell awkwardly during a training session, it’s still pretty painful so I have a support whilst it gets better.’ 

Pixie and Hunter appeared shortly after, with hair bow mogul Pixie holding up a bucket for her mother as she put in the leaves.

Roxy then turned her attention to giving the plants on her nature strip a good helping of water with a hose.

Little Hunter got creative by helping her out by using his toy water gun to spray the water.

Missing from the family gardening was her husband Oliver Curtis, who was likely in their $6.6million Vaucluse mansion. 

It comes after Roxy revealed earlier this month that her main company, Sweaty Betty PR, lost 85 per cent of its clients in three days as many businesses were forced to shut their doors as part of the lockdown designed to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Roxy says her three other media agencies are continuing to serve different areas of the communications sector while her main company, Sweaty Betty PR, struggles.

She told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday that she is still working, but in shorter hours and from home and said she has gone into semi-retirement. 

‘[It] means I am able to spend more time with my children, which after working for so many years and missing so much is a wonderful change,’ she explained. 

She added: ‘Whilst Sweaty Betty PR was hit hard by COVID-19 I diversified many years ago.’

‘I am in a good position with my other agencies operating as normal – 18Communications, Social Union, The Ministry of Talent not to mention my personal investments,’ she added.   

One of Roxy’s companies is 18Communications, which facilitates communication between Australian businesses and Chinese consumers through popular messaging app WeChat and social media app Weibo.

She also has an online influencer agency (The Ministry of Talent) and a social media content creation agency (Social Union).

Now the focus is to make sure we continue to grow these companies whilst we look at options for Sweaty Betty PR in the short term,’ she said.

As well as her media ventures, Roxy sells hair accessories and hosts sponsored content on Instagram. Her children, Pixie and Hunter, are also influencers. 

Roxy also recently revealed she was prepared to sell her Hermès Birkin collection and Aston Martin just to make ends meet.
