Instagram comedian Celeste Barber is ‘furious’ at ‘hot husband’ Api Robin

Celeste Barber has more than 7.7 million followers on Instagram thanks to her witty parodies of models and influencers.

And the comedian, 38, joked on Monday that she was angry with her husband, Api Robin, for building his own fanbase after making occasional cameos in her videos.

Celeste was asked on The Morning Show if it made her ‘furious’ that Api – known as the ‘hot husband’ – had 277,000 followers of his own.

‘Yes!’ she joked. ‘Because he’s only got a following because of me, and because he’s hot. Yes I’m furious, but it’s fine!’

Since appearing in a number of Celeste’s skits, Api – whose Instagram handle is ‘hothusband_’ – has accumulated more than quarter of a million followers.

His tongue-in-cheek bio states: ‘This account may or may not be run by my wife.’

While on the show, Celeste also spoke about her viral fame.

‘I like to think I’m an overnight success about 20 years in the making,’ she said. ‘I knew what I was doing was funny, but I didn’t know it would blow up like it has.’

Celeste and Api have actually been together for more than 14 years.

She playfully calls him her ‘Māori Adonis’ and recently admitted in a blog post she married a man who is ‘universally hotter’ than her. 

‘It’s harder to live with than I originally thought,’ the funnywoman joked. 

‘Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m no dropped pie, but there isn’t a “hot wifey” hashtag hanging around my neck,’ she added. 

The couple tied the knot in Bali, Indonesia, in 2013.

They share two sons, and Celeste is also a stepmother to her husband’s children from a previous relationship.
