Jimmy Barnes shares lovedup photo with wife Jane

They’re preparing to celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary next month.

And Jimmy Barnes has shared a loved-up Instagram post to wife Jane Mahoney in which he praises his wife’s cooking.

The 65-year-old rocker posed on a beach with his hands on Jane’s shoulders and declared ‘there’s no place like home’.

He added ‘it doesn’t get much better than @jane13barnes’ steak and chips. I did hope to bring back some sunshine and here it is’.

Jimmy and Jane married in 1981, and have four children – son, Jackie, and daughters, Mahalia, Eliza-Jane and Elly-May.

In his memoir, Working Class Man, Jimmy revealed it was a case of love at first sight when he first met Thai-born Jane back in 1979.

‘I’d met a lot of girls in my life, but no one had ever stopped me in my tracks like that girl did.

‘She was way out of my class, but I loved her from the minute I saw her. Jane would change my life,’ he wrote.

However, at the time Jimmy – then aged 23 – was dating his housemate Bernadette, and was also linked to a woman named Jan who he had been ‘seeing on and off for a long time’.

Despite this, Jane became the musician’s girlfriend shortly after, and they promptly moved in together.

The family lived in France for much of the 1990s, before returning to Australia and taking up residence in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.

The post comes as Barnes lent his star profile to the Byron Bay Bluesfest on Sunday.

The rock legend entertained the crowd after he was introduced by opposition leader Anthony Albanese.

Mr Albanese was initially met with some boos from revellers before receiving boisterous cheers as he promised a funding boost for the arts sector.

Jimmy dressed casually in a black ensemble as he took to the stage at the annual music festival held over the Easter long weekend.

The announcer introduced Albanese as ‘the man that represents the working class people’ as he asked festival-goers to give the Labor leader a ‘world-class welcome’.

Albanese approached the stage to boos, telling the crowd it was ‘great to be at Bluesfest’.

He then acknowledged the traditional owners of the land at Byron Bay.

‘I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land in which we meet, pay my respect to elders past and present and what we want is to recognise First Nations people in our constitution.’

The decry from revellers eventually quietened down before erupting into applause and cheers as Albanese hinted at arts funding if his party was elected into government. He then brought Barnes onto the stage.

Meanwhile, despite his fame, Jimmy remains humble and described celebrity as ‘nothing’ in an interview with Truly Aus back in May 2020.

‘When it comes to celebrity, the rest of the world just wants to see you fall. Fame? Money? Yes it can make life easier, but happiness is really all we have,’ he said.

‘You have to remember to enjoy the journey. Success is doing what you love. I love to sing, and I am lucky to be able to do that, and to travel the country.

‘I have been travelling this country since 1973 and there’s nothing I enjoy more.’

What matters most: ‘When it comes to celebrity, the rest of the world just wants to see you fall. Fame? Money? Yes it can make life easier, but happiness is really all we have,’ he said
