Conversations · Luke Bateman on surviving a gambling addiction and the magic of his mum’s love · 29 May 2026 podcast

But your mum and dad split when you were really little, right?

How did your mum find single parenting?

My mum is an incredible woman and she crushes everything that she does.

So it's funny actually, you know.

I've never asked her that question.

That's thinking on that, asking me that makes me think, you know, I really need to talk to her about that because that's never a question I've asked her how she found being a single mom.

I think she was a single mom for about two years before she met my stepfather.

I've never asked her, but I was very young at that stage.

So I don't even, I don't even remember that time.

Because that was from when I was a genuine newborn to two or three years old.

So I don't remember that time, but there's nothing my mum can't accomplish.

So I'm sure that she would have taken everything within her stride.

I mean, she was obviously managing a lot.

How was she with you kids as a mum?

Yeah, she was incredible.

Even when she met my stepfather, my stepfather, he always worked away.

So even with a partner, she was a single mom and she had a full-time job.

She worked at the local council.

So she worked for the Marilla Shire Council.

It was when we were growing up before the amalgamation happened and it became the Western Downshire Council.
