Australia’s ‘hottest WAG’ hits back at ‘gross’ money comment

The woman dubbed “Australia’s hottest WAG” has hit back at sexist comments concerning her AFL star boyfriend Ivan Soldo.

The woman dubbed “Australia’s hottest WAG” has opened up about the “gross” sexist question she is constantly asked as the partner of AFL star Ivan Soldo.

Chelsea Becirevic, who is a successful model in her own right, has been dating the Port Adelaide ruckman since 2021.

The 24-year-old influencer took to social media to open herself up to questions in an Instagram Q&A ahead of her upcoming Europe trip later this year.

“Let me guess. Europe all on poor Ivan’s dollar,” one question wrote.

The former air hostess hit back at the incredibly sexist comment, telling her 83,000 followers it’s “wild” how often she receives comments like that.

“Usually from fake accounts consistently implying I’m only with my partner for his money or that I don’t have anything of my own going on,” she explained.

“That assumption is not just false, it’s tired, small-minded, and honestly, gross. You see one per cent of our lives on here, if that. You actually don’t know anything.

“Why is it so hard to believe a woman can be with a successful man and be successful herself or have her own money?”

The model added: “The football world can be incredibly toxic towards women. I don’t usually say anything but the constant judgment, the dismissive narratives. I’m exhausted by it.”

The 24-year-old social media star quit her job as an Emirates flight attendant at the end of last year, and moved back to Australia from Dubai.

It’s not the first time she’s had to call out a “ridiculous” narrative about herself after Soldo requested to be traded just one season into a three-year contract, informing the Power of his desire to move back to Melbourne.

Many were quick to speculate regarding the timing of the request, but Ms Becirevic said it had nothing to do with her.

“I’m honestly fed up with the ridiculous narrative that keeps circulating,” she told her Instagram followers in October 2024.

“I’ve stayed silent for far too long, but it’s time to set the record straight.

“Somehow, I’ve become the centre of attention for a trade that has nothing to do with me.

“Not that it’s anyone’s business but, I moved back from Dubai to support my boyfriend, and somehow, I find myself being dragged through the media.

“It’s disappointing to see the same old story – where the girl gets blamed for everything.”
