Brynne Edelsten says her marriage to medical entrepreneur Geoffrey Edelsten was never consummated.

“It was a very lonely marriage because he worked very hard,” Brynne tells Stellar magazine, in the Sunday Herald Sun this weekend.

“Geoff would be in bed by 7pm every night. He would come home and I would spend a few hours with him after work, and then I would go and catch up with friends.”

Brynne also revealed being distraught on her wedding day, almost 10 years ago.

Brynne married Geoffrey, who is 40 years older than her, on November 29, 2009, followed by a lavish ceremony at Crown Palladium, with guests including US sitcom superstars Jason Alexander from Seinfeld, and Fran Drescher from The Nanny.

Brynne said she sobbed all the way to the altar.

“I cried the whole way. Mum said, ‘Brynne, if you don’t want to, we can run away right now,’” she tells Stellar Magazine, in the Sunday Herald Sun, this weekend.

“But, of course, I didn’t want to run away. I wanted to marry him.”

The couple split in 2014. But Brynne says she has no animosity toward her ex.

“Carrying a grudge is not going to affect the other person; it’s going to affect you and

how you feel every day. I don’t want to live with that level of anger and resentment.”
