Rosie Jacobs showed off a strikingly different new look as she walked her dogs on Bondi Beach in a rare public appearance on Wednesday.
The ex-wife of TV weatherman Steve Jacobs looked almost unrecognisable after ditching her brunette locks for a shorter, platinum blonde cut.
She slicked her bleached hair back and opted for a glamorous makeup palette to accentuate her new haircut.
The travel journalist cut a casual figure in flared black leggings, a turtleneck sweater and a grey quilted jacket.
She kept herself comfortable in a pair of white Crocs and looked in good spirits as she smiled while walking the dog.
Rosie began her career as a television producer and has presented shows for Nine and Ten Networks, Foxtel and The Weather Channel.
She married her now ex-husband Steve in 2010, three years after they met on the set of Today, where he was a weather presenter and she worked as a producer.

The couple split in late 2017, months after moving to Vanuatu in what friends described as a “last-ditch attempt” to save their marriage, and divorced in 2019.
In January last year, Rosie avoided jail for what she described as a “stupid decision” to drive with a suspended license following her high-profile divorce.
He pleaded guilty to driving his Audi Q3 three times over the course of just four months in 2022 while his license was suspended for previous offenses.
She was driving along Darlinghurst Road in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on the morning of August 25 when she was stopped by police.
His driving license had been suspended in May 2022 until March 2023, after accumulating five traffic violations in nine months while on a good conduct license.

Less than three months later, she was stopped by police again on Campbell Parade in Bondi.
After officers used warning lights and signals to stop her, court documents reveal she told police she was “going through a lot right now” and was “not feeling well.”
Just four days later, she was stopped by police again in Randwick. When police asked her why she was driving without a licence, she replied: “No comment.”
Magistrate Megan Greenwood recorded a conviction and fined her $1,650, ordered her to perform 75 hours of community service and disqualified her from driving for three months.
“If you don’t do what the community corrections order says, you can be jailed for this offence,” Greenwood said at the time.
In a lengthy social media post in January 2024, the former television personality addressed the charges, explaining that she had been going through a “traumatic” time.
Rosie married her ex-husband Steve (both pictured in 2013) in 2010, three years after meeting on the set of Today. They separated in 2017 and finalized their divorce in 2019.
She told her followers she had experienced “difficult times” with high anxiety and PTSD following her divorce.
“It was a surprise!” she told her thousands of followers on Instagram.
‘To top it off, I made some stupid decisions by driving my car to the hospital after the operation with my driving license suspended. I regret that decision.’
The self-proclaimed “cheeky sober mom” explained that she was “in a lot of pain” at the time of the crime and made the regrettable decision to drive.
“I wish I could undo those moments, but I can’t,” he admitted, before sharing his optimism about the future.
