Who would have thought an Instagram account for a house could rack up thousands of followers in just two days?
That’s the reality for Brittany Hockley’s latest project, a dedicated account for her and husband Ben Siegrist’s brand new Gold Coast home, which already boasts 16.1K followers.
The post wedding purchase, a $2.4 million “dream home” in Mermaid Waters, dubbed The Casa Palma, features a sprawling backyard, pool, and spa.
While the couple continue long distance with Hockley based in Melbourne and Siegrist playing for Genoa FC in Italy’s Serie A, the property appears to be a savvy investment before they reunite, with the home’s new Instagram bio reading, “Luxe GC home- available for styled shoots. Coming soon.”
Hockley shared the news with her followers in a post celebrating the whirlwind of milestones they have recently achieved.
“Married and a house this past month, what a time! (We actually bought this on our wedding night … must have been feeling the good vibes and/or had a few too many cocktails),” Hockley shared.
“This is just the start. Can’t wait to show you more! We love it.”
Hockley and Swiss footballer Siegrist wed at Pandawa Cliff Estate in Bali last month, surrounded by family and friends, among them celebrity pals Laura Byrne and Matthew Johnson, Mitch Churi and hairdresser Alexander Fuchs.
The bride wore Steven Khlail and requested “no thongs” on the dress code for guests.
Hockley rose to reality TV fame off the back of appearing on dating show, The Bachelor, in 2018, and subsequently joined forces with Byrne on the podcast.
She also appeared on Bachelor In Paradise Australia and The Challenge: Australia.
Last year, she competed on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
Hockley had a short-lived but well publicised friendship with Hollywood star Rebel Wilson, whom she met through her relationship with pro-tennis player ex boyfriend Jordan Thompson.
