Brynne Edelsten has shown off her growing baby bump as she gets closer to welcoming her first child.

The socialite ex-wife of late controversial businessman Geoffrey Edelsten, revealed in January that she’s having a baby girl after unexpectedly falling pregnant.

She discovered in December that she was five months along after being told it was highly unlikely she would ever be able to conceive naturally.

On Tuesday she was pictured on the Extension Artists Instagram page looking radiant after getting hair extensions as her due date draws near.

“It was the furthest thing from what I was expecting,” Edelsten told New Idea in January.

“I didn’t think I could have kids!

“It wasn’t that I couldn’t, but when I was doing the tests, I was barely ovulating. Doctors always told me if I wanted kids, it would be through IVF.”

Edelsten, who was in complete shock as she thought she was just becoming a little bit fat with Covid kilos, has told the father but will raise her daughter alone.

“All I ever wanted to do in life was be a mum. I can’t make up my mind about anything, but I have always been sure of this one thing,” she said.

“I wanted it so badly... and so over the years I just became a woman who came to accept it wasn’t on the cards for me. Coming to that realisation, it was devastating.”

Edelsten, 38, is due in April and says there is no man in the picture, but she’ll raise her child with the help of her close friend and flatmate.

She went through a messy split with Geoffrey in 2014 after four years of marriage but said he would he happy for her.

“I think Geoff would be so happy for me,” she said.

“I think it would come as a surprise, as we never thought it was possible for us.”
