War hero Roberts-Smith, 42, took Sarah Matulin, 28, home to Perth with him for Christmas, having first struck up a relationship after she joined Channel Seven in mid-2020.
The Victoria Cross recipient is general manager of the company's Queensland office.
Mr Roberts-Smith's bosses - including his close friend and Channel Seven's CEO Kerry Stokes - were informed about the burgeoning relationship last year.
In documents filed in the Federal Court his wife accused him of assaulting her, and leaving her with a black eye. The court heard claims last year that Mr Roberts-Smith asked his wife to lie after she found out about the affair.
One of Australia's greatest modern war heroes, Mr Roberts-Smith is fighting war crimes allegations levelled against him by Nine Newspapers and has.denied any wrongdoing during his time in Afghanistan or Iraq. He has launched defamation action against Nine and is being financially backed in part by Mr Stokes.
