Rachael shared a photo of the couple ringing in the new year alongside their two children Dominic, three, and daughter Violet, seven. 

The former Miss Universe Australia recently told fans that compromise and communication are key for a successful marriage.

‘What are ways to create and support a happy marriage?’ one fan asked Rachael.

She explained:'[It’s important to] work together, learn to compromise, communicate, continue to evolve as a couple, take time out for just the two of you, to keep an open mind and find fun in every day.’

Rachael met her husband Michael on the 2010 season of Dancing With The Stars – he was her dance partner, and she a contestant.

Last year, Rachael and Michael celebrated their wedding anniversary by sharing a video to Instagram in which they did a couples quiz, hosted by Rachael’s sister.

As Rachael and Michael sat on their bed, the model giggled as her sister fired off sweet questions.

Those questions included, ‘Who initiated the first kiss’ and Rachael pointed to herself to indicate it was her.

Asked who was ‘more patient’, Michael said it was him, and he also said ‘I love you’ first. Michael likewise said he was the ‘social butterfly’ of the pair, but Rachael was more likely to get a tattoo.  

‘How did I get so lucky @mikemiziner? I couldn’t imagine my life any other way,’ she wrote.
