In June, Lisa shared a heartbreaking confession about how she dealt with her late daughter Jaimi’s long-term illness prior to her tragic death aged 33.
Jaimi, Lisa’s eldest daughter with ex-husband Grant Kenny, died in September 2020 following an 18-year battle with alcohol addiction and anorexia.

Speaking to The Australian Women’s Weekly, the former Olympic swimmer admitted caring for Jaimi over the years was ‘exhausting’.
‘There are times when you just have to find the strength, find the patience, to get through the day,’ Lisa said.
‘It’s sad, it’s tiring, it’s exhausting. But you still have to live your life. You have to get up, dress up and show up. That’s hard to do, but Grant and I had no choice. We just had to do it,’ she added.

The sporting champion recently released a deeply personal memoir that touches on Jaimi’s illness and death, called Lisa: A Memoir – 60 Years of Life, Love and Loss
The gold medalist went on to emphasise the importance of maintaining ‘self-care’ during difficult times.
‘You can’t live your life for one child. You have three children and they are all the world to you, and that’s why I have to be really conscious of my self-care, so that I can be there for them and the grandchildren,’ she said.
Lisa and Grant Kenny wed in 1984, separated in 2009 and during their marriage welcomed three children together: son Jett, 28, and daughters Morgan, 31, and Jaimi.
