She said the pair originally began chatting on Instagram for months in 2018 before eventually meeting up in person on the Gold Coast.

“I hope you are sleeping right now I just wanted to say thank you so much I really enjoyed your company. I'm so glad I met you,” the message read.

Ms Stewart said she now feels it's the right time to speak out about their whirlwind romance because she wants “people to know he was a truly caring humanitarian”.
