Becirevic, who had a stint living in Dubai to become a flight attendant, has now returned to Australia and is happy to be based in Adelaide.

She caused a stir and attracted critics when she said she couldn’t live there anymore.

Soldo hit out at the haters and his own detractors via an Instagram post last month.

“I am happy there, we got a new place and it’s a bit closer to the water,’’ she said.

“You’ve got to live your life. Where are the lovers not the haters.”

Soldo, who had sought a trade to St Kilda during the off-season, said he’s committed to Port Adelaide.

“I went back and saw everyone and it was all good,’’ he said.

“I had a good chat to Kenny (coach Ken Hinkley) and I’m looking forward to next season.”

Becirevic wore a busty black dress with an oversized black hat to Derby Day.

She said it’s the best time of year in Melbourne.
