Ellie Aitken speaks out on saga with husband Charlie and Hollie Nasser

Socialite Ellie Aitken has posted an emotional message after her husband’s alleged relationship with her best friend was publicly revealed last week.

Sydney socialite Ellie Aitken has declared she is stepping back “from view” after a messy weekend involving her estranged husband Charlie and former best friend Hollie Nasser.

Ellie and Charlie, a former Sydney power couple, who co-founded Aitken Investment Management, were seen facing off outside their family home in Bondi on Sunday, following their recent split.

Tensions were high as the funds manager moved his belongings out of the property the pair once shared and into his luxury car while his estranged wife watched on, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Earlier on Sunday, Ms Aitken posted and then deleted text messages between her and Ms Nasser, who is now dating Mr Aitken, on social media.

“Ellie there’s no point in us talking anymore. I can’t believe after a 2 year affair with Russell Crowe … you are out there playing the victim and saying I ruined your perfect marriage,” Ms Nasser had said, adding Mr Aitken was not staying at her home.

Ms Aitken replied: “Darling I was watching him there with the white plantation shutters behind which we photographed on FaceTime and he told me he was there having pizza. And no I didn’t have a two-year affair, don’t try to deflect.”

Ms Aitken took to social media on Tuesday sharing her regrets for posting the exchange.

“Unfortunately, I was pushed to my limits over the weekend and as a result I made a painful matter worse by sharing my thoughts on social media,” Ms Aitken wrote on Instagram.

She said she needed to take time to focus on herself and her children, including the “practicalities of co-parenting”.

“In short, it is time for me to press pause,” she wrote.

“I am taking a step back from view – including taking a break from social media – in the hope that my children and I can be afforded privacy as we come to terms with our changed circumstances.”
