Chelsea Becirevic, deemed Australia’s “hottest” WAG, has been photographed putting on a loved-up display with her boyfriend, AFL star Ivan Soldo, on the Gold Coast.
The 24-year-old, who recently quit her job as an Emirates flight attendant and moved back to Australia from Dubai, enjoyed a day at the beach with the Port Adelaide ruckman.
Their off-season getaway comes after Becirevic hit back at reports Soldo had requested a trade away from Port because she’d “struggled” to enjoy life in the City of Churches.
The 28-year-old sparked a media frenzy in late September after asking to be traded just one season into a three-year contract signed 12 months ago, informing the Power of his desire to move back to Melbourne.
While the request appeared to be timely – coinciding with Becirevic’s return to Australia – she insisted it “has nothing to do” with her.
“I’m honestly fed up with the ridiculous narrative that keeps circulating,” Becirevic told her 67,000 Instagram followers.
“I’ve stayed silent for far too long, but it’s time to set the record straight.
“Somehow, I’ve become the centre of attention for a trade that has nothing to do with me.
“Not that it’s anyone’s business but, I moved back from Dubai to support my boyfriend, and somehow, I find myself being dragged through the media.
“It’s disappointing to see the same old story – where the girl gets blamed for everything.”
Becirevic insisted she had “never spoken poorly about Adelaide either”.
The glamorous influencer also shot down rumours she had split from Soldo, revealing she “hated long distance” and “missed Australia so much” during their brief period apart.
Her time at Emirates was “fun while it lasted … but it’s definitely glamorised a lot online”.
“For me personally, I was super homesick and found the job super isolating.”
It was a marked change in attitude from Becirevic, who earlier this year said the “novelty” of living in Adelaide had quickly worn off.
Despite emphasising that her relationship with Soldo remained solid, she admitted at the time living in the city had been a “struggle”.
“He had to move to Adelaide for his career and tbh (to be honest) it’s been a struggle for me. It is just not for me permanently,” she said.
“Temporarily it’s fine. But long term in Aus I think Melbourne or Gold Coast are for me … maybe even Syd.”
