The exclusive shock photos which show the actress and her co-star in a passionate embrace will break her husband’s heart.

Australia’s favourite actress Lisa McCune has been busted passionately kissing her South Pacific co-star, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, when they met in Sydney’s eastern suburbs last week for an intimate morning rendezvous. The popular star of new Channel Ten drama series Reef Doctors has spent the past few weeks in Sydney away from her Melbourne-based husband Tim Disney and three young children, to star in South Pacific.

Last Thursday, Lisa, 41, was seen kissing and cuddling Teddy, 45, who is known as the “Brad Pitt of the opera world”, at a café in Paddington. At one stage the pair even slipped down a laneway to share a passionate kiss. Lisa, who was difficult to recognise in a knitted cap, jeans and check shirt, was not wearing her wedding or engagement rings. "I couldn’t believe it was Lisa McCune," admits one observer, who said the two were making no secret of their close relationship. "The guy she was kissing was very into her and kept touching her and holding her hand."

There is no denying the on-stage chemistry between the two stars, and Lisa was recently overhead telling a friend she thought Teddy was "really hot" and that it was easy to kiss him during rehearsals for South Pacific. One reviewer says the "chemistry between McCune and Rhodes is palpable". Lisa herself told Time Out magazine that she was "loving" working with Teddy. Lisa plays Nellie, a WWII army nurse who falls for sophisticated French plantation owner Emile, played by Teddy.

Their passionate kiss shocked Lisa’s friends and family, who thought her 12-year marriage to Tim was rock solid. Lisa even told Woman’s Day just three days before she was caught out how the couple made their marriage work long distance. "I jump on the plane on Sunday morning and don’t come back [to Sydney] ’til Tuesday lunch time so I’m missing a few nights a week, and it’s only for a month," she told Woman’s Day during the interview.

Lisa McCune is always going to be an amazing person regardless of what is written in the tabloids. What's going on between her and Teddy is their business and I see no reason for anyone to judge nor discriminate against them based on what has been written. I met Lisa this past Wednesday in Brisbane, along with Teddy, and they were both lovely people. How one can say this ruins their ego or talent and stage performance is beyond me!
I am appauled by all the bloggers. Whether the marriage is over or on the rocks or not, carry yourself like a LADY you have 3 children and you are in the public eye, have you no desency??? she should wait until her own marriage is legally over. Think of what your children will be seeing. what sort of example are you setting
very interesting and generally forgiving comments. I bet if Lisa was a bloke he was have been crucified a number of times by now!!
as derryn hinch would of said. If it is true, then either side couldn't control the urges and should of stopped it before it got to this point and hopefully they haven't done anything worse. Morally irresponsible
I don't judge her because we don't know the real facts but because she is well know i think she should have been more discreet about it because we all know what the media likes hope the situation get resoveld soon without more hurt to her family
This is nobody's business but theirs.
Affairs happen everywhere. The only reason why this alleged affair gets more attention than any other is that it involves people with significant public profiles. I disagree with comments posted thus far. Working in the theatre cannot be equated to working in normal 9-5 office scenarios. There are completely different levels of emotions being produced in the art of acting and performing. These emotions can lead to heightened emotional vulnerability. Learning to differentiate between what is on-stage (professional) and what is off-stage (private) is part and parcel of the business. When it comes to children and family, it's the irresponsibility of the media who expose alleged affairs to the world for all to see that causes infinitely more damage than the alleged transgression. They continually pull at the thread but don't ever help to fix what they have damaged. Let private remain private. Let them sort out their own affair in their own time without interfering public media scrutiny.
Before the self righteous perfect people start to jump up and down and judge her, maybe her marriage is already over and just hasn't been written about and made public yet.
I always thought Lisa McCune was a beautiful person, but if your marriage is not working out end it, don't cheat on your family, your in the lime light, think of the children, how must they feel when the kids at school start teasing them, and they will, just for what a day, a week, a months fun, you should be ashamed of your self. I do hope the headlines are wrong if so i appolagize, but at least do the right thing by them.
Bad behaviour and very unprofessional. The powers that be should ban relationships between actors while on production and it should be part of their contract agreement. A lot of other businesses do it - they should too.
