The eyewatering amount of money AFL star paid for new handbag for footy's hottest WAG

The eyewatering amount of money AFL star paid for new handbag for footy's hottest WAG

Daily Mail​14-06-2025
Port Adelaide ruckman Ivan Soldo has splashed out thousands on a luxury designer handbag for his partner Chelsea Becirevic, once again turning heads with their high-profile relationship.
Becirevic, widely known as Australia's hottest WAG, took to Instagram to show off her new gift: a Prada Bonnie medium leather handbag valued at $4300.
'Lucky girl,' she wrote in the caption, tagging her AFL star boyfriend alongside a photo of the handbag and a bouquet of fresh flowers.
The gift didn't go unnoticed by fans, with the sleek black bag - made from glossy soft leather = catching plenty of attention.
According to the Prada website, the handbag features a refined geometric design and includes leather handles, metal hardware and a detachable shoulder strap.
It also boasts an enameled triangle logo and a centre zip compartment — the kind of bag that blends glamour with everyday luxury.
The high-end accessory is the latest glimpse into the couple's headline-making romance, which began in 2022.
Soldo, a premiership player with Richmond before transferring to Port Adelaide, has been with Becirevic through several ups and downs.
The 204cm ruckman was traded in 2023, prompting Becirevic to move to Adelaide to be with him.
However, she found the move challenging and soon relocated to Dubai in 2024 to take up her dream job as an Emirates flight attendant.
The couple maintained a long-distance relationship throughout that time, navigating time zones and media speculation.
Later that year, Becirevic returned to Australia, citing homesickness and a desire to support Soldo.
They moved in together in Adelaide, with Becirevic continuing her work as an influencer and launching a Fanfix account to share exclusive content.
Despite persistent rumours and public commentary, the couple has denied suggestions she influenced Soldo's career moves.
Soldo's trade decisions, they insist, have always been about football - not relationship pressure.
Becirevic has also been vocal in defending her independence and motives, pushing back against claims she's with Soldo for his wealth.
'The idea that I need a man's money is tired, small-minded and gross,' she said in a recent post.
Her Instagram account, which boasts more than 84,000 followers, offers curated glimpses of their life together - from match-day moments to stylish outings.
She's become known for her standout fashion, especially at marquee events like Derby Day, where she consistently ranks among the most photographed partners in the AFL.
In one of her recent videos, she joked about the challenges of dating someone over 6'8', sharing a clip of herself standing on a chair to reach a glass Soldo had placed on a high shelf.
The light-hearted post added another personal touch to a relationship that has remained firmly in the public eye.
Despite injuries affecting Soldo's 2024 season, he has continued to support Becirevic's evolving career.
The handbag gesture appears to be just one way he shows it.

Zoe Hague seen back home for the first time since fans mocked her for leaving Bali after 48 hours because it didn't meet her expectations

Zoe Hague has returned home as she was seen heading home from a gym session on Thursday. Molly-Mae's influencer sister was recently mocked by fans for leaving Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. Instead she and her husband Danny made a last minute decision to fly to Dubai instead after Zoe, 28, took to social media to admit 'something wasn't quite right'. And the couple have now returned from their trip with Zoe seen out and about in Cheshire in an oversized navy jumper and blue gym shorts. She completed the look with a pair of white sports trainers and balanced a pair of shades on her head. Earlier this week Zoe received backlash after she took to social media to reveal she had chosen to leave Bali early. The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead. Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. In a new YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.' Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it. 'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though. 'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.' Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it. 'I find this really surprising seeing as you travelled this part of the world. Everywhere there is like this - the 5* resorts are social media worthy but ultimately it's a developing area of the world and lots of the people there live in poverty.'; 'That is such a shame you didn't have a good experience:( Bali is a truly magical place with incredible people! But it is a poor country and I think people forget that and expect it to be like Dubai when that isn't the reality. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.'; 'I'm interested to know what exactly you didn't like about it? You didn't really go into specifics? I travelled there last year and loved it!'; Others agreed with Zoe, adding: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!! We tried to enjoy it as much as we could but it is 100% portrayed sooo differently by influencers,' 'Why is everyone hating? Bali isn't for everyone, they arrived and didn't like it? Why would they waste time & money somewhere they're not enjoying?' In 2019, Zoe's sister Molly-Mae shared with fans that she 'fell in love with Bali' as she shared a series of stunning snaps to Instagram. Zoe later shared a photo dump on Instagram, showcasing her lavish Dubai trip after leaving Bali. Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it Others agreed with Zoe: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!!' The couple stayed at Atlantis The Royal, with rooms starting from around £290 per night during July, which is considered low season. In peak season, rooms can cost £1,570 a night. Zoe shared on Instagram: 'Danny surprised me with a stat at @atlantistheroyal which I couldn't believe!!!

Australian production companies may have to pay millions in alleged unpaid super after ATO ruling

Major Australian production companies, including those that produce Neighbours and Home and Away, may be ordered to pay workers millions of dollars in alleged unpaid superannuation after a 2024 tax office ruling. The Australian Writers Guild (AWG) is gearing up for a challenge against Screen Producers Australia (SPA), after a ruling by the Australian Tax Office last December found that screenwriters in most cases were providing a service to an employer, not selling a product, and therefore must be paid super. The ruling, which was in line with the Superannuation Guarantee Act, means that for long-running television shows, decades of super backpay could apply, although the statute of limitations for an individual employee in Australia is six years. Both parties are now seeking legal advice, while the AWG said it has not ruled out a class action or a strike to challenge what it describes as SPA's 'legally dubious' position. The 2023 screenwriters strike in the US lasted 148 days and after the actors union Sag-Aftra joined the strike, film production in Hollywood and abroad – including some shoots in Australia – was stalled for months. That strike was largely about unfair compensation and the unchecked use of AI. The AWG is a guild, not a union, and therefore is under no legally binding obligation to seek protected action. While the Australian guild's chief executive, Claire Pullen, said the possibility of a wildcat strike further down the road had not been ruled out, she was acutely aware of the financial stress this would place its members under. Screenwriter Peter Mattessi, the president of the guild, said many Australian production houses continue to treat legally mandated employer contributions as optional extras in industry contracts. 'It's not negotiable. You're not bartering over a clause in a contract,' said Mattessi, a writer on EastEnders, Return to Paradise and The Heights. 'This is legislation. It's meant to protect workers. Yet some producers treat it like it's an option … it's as though legal compliance is discretionary. 'It's not just a contract quirk – it's sustained denial and it amounts to wage theft.' Mattessi said earlier in his career he had written for Neighbours, produced by Fremantle, and Home and Away, produced by Seven Productions, and alleged neither company had paid super to their writers. The Guardian is aware of at least two former scriptwriters on Home and Away who took their complaints to the ATO, which ruled in the writers' favour. But the AWG said it was not reasonable to expect every screenwriter in the country to individually apply to the ATO to assert their superannuation rights. 'Our members are engaged in such a precarious way as it is, contract to contract,' Pullen said. 'If it's put to you as a choice between enforcing your right to superannuation or not getting the job, it's pretty obvious which choice creative workers are going to make.' Attempts to convince the ATO that it needed to tackle industry-wide non-compliance had hit a bureaucratic roadblock, she said. 'Essentially, what we got back from the ATO was: 'if any individual wants to raise a matter, we'll look into it'. But they won't deal with systemic non-compliance.' In information circulated by SPA to its members last year (Fremantle is a SPA member but Seven Productions is not), it advised that while some services from scriptwriters do attract super, standard contracts show that writers who are commissioned to write a script are paid for the acquisition of their intellectual property rights of that work. 'The fee is not paying for services; the fee is paying for the assignment of copyright and various usage of the work,' the advice said. In a statement provided to the Guardian, SPA's chief executive, Matthew Deaner, said: 'While we can't comment on any specific matter, nor has this issue been formally raised by the writers guild, we note that the industry framework agreements with the guild envisage writers being paid under different fee types depending on what has been contracted. Superannuation obligations are then determined in accordance with the relevant legislation.' The Superannuation Act states that 'who is paid to perform services in, or in connection with, the making of any film, tape or disc or of any television or radio broadcast is an employee of the person liable to make the payment.' The AWG argues this includes film and television scriptwriters, and in a December 2024 clarifying ruling, the ATO went on to emphasise 'a person engaged to write a script is performing services', and therefore owed super – as opposed to a writer who takes their existing script to a producer who buys it, in which case 'they are merely selling property.' An ATO spokesperson said application of the relevant subsection of the act needed to be made on a payment-by-payment basisand its review and audit program into the non-payment of super did enable it to focus on 'particular industries or employer groups as part of their compliance actions'. The assistant treasurer, Fremantle and Seven Productions have not responded to the Guardian.

Tammy Hembrow shows off insanely ripped muscles as she continues bodybuilding transformation after split from Matt Zukowski

Tammy Hembrow is fighting fit following her brutal split from Matt Zukowski. The fitness influencer, who announced in June that she and her husband of seven months were getting a divorce, took to Instagram on Thursday to show off her toned physique, particularly her insanely ripped arms. The 31-year-old wore a pink sports bra and black booty shorts in the clip, which showed her posing up a storm as she filmed herself in a mirror. Tammy flaunted her bicep muscles as she tensed for the video, while also showing off her very veiny arms.

The social media star lifted up her top to reveal just how toned her abs and shrunken her waist were, while wearing tiny booty shorts to emphasise her behind. 'I've been the girl who didn't know where to start. I've been the girl who felt uncomfortable in her own skin,' she penned. 'I've been the girl who stopped and started a million times. And I've also been the girl who stuck it out… and saw her strength come to life.' She went on to say that no matter what stage you are at in your fitness journey, 'it's never too late to show up for yourself.' The 'fave challenge' includes a full-body workout, with an emphasis on glute exercises, Tammy informed her fans.

The influencer revealed on Sunday that she has toned up her body and lost weight since leaving the marriage. She shared a video on Instagram that featured her look during and after her time with Matt, with Tammy having visibly trimmed down and gained muscle in recent weeks.
