Sophie Cachia has vowed she won’t be broken by her recent relationship break down.
The businesswoman mum of two is staying positive instead of thinking ‘poor me’ after her shock split from basketballer fiance Maddie Garrick two weeks ago.
“Every challenge in life will provide you with a lesson,’’ Cachia told the Herald Sun.
“You can either choose to stay the same, or grow from it, and I promised myself I’d never let anyone break me again.
“I could play the poor me card, or I could look at the life I’ve built — I have two incredible children, a beautiful home and a wonderful career. I really have everything I need.”
She added: “While breakups are sad for everyone, I have chosen to have a really positive mindset and I have peace knowing we shared a wonderful few years together and I wish her all the best both personally and professionally overseas.”
Cachia just shot the Christmas campaign for her pyjama brand Cachia, which goes on sale next week, with her father Robert Shaw and children Florence and Bobby.
“This Christmas we have designed a custom fair isle print with an Aussie twist — made from cotton jersey with our classic Cachia elastic waistband,’’ she said.
Cachia was due to visit Garrick in Italy where she is now based, with her children and mum for a month long holiday over Christmas.
“While Christmas unfortunately will look a bit different this year for us after cancelling our travel plans due to recent circumstances, I am so looking forward to sitting around our pool and just be present with my babies and family,’’ Cachia said.
“The kids are part of 12 cousins between my sisters and I so Christmas is a really special time for us all.”
In announcing news of the break up after she just returned from a visit to Florence, Cachia alluded to a break of trust.
While rumours have swirled about a third party being involved, Garrick has yet to comment but has posted with another woman while on a getaway to an Italian town.
Cachia admitted to feeling humiliated and embarrassed, saying she couldn’t sleep or eat for days after.
