Australia's 'hottest footy WAG' hated living in Adelaide. Now she's moving away - but her big announcement casts a shadow over her romance with AFL star

Australia's hottest footy WAG is on the move, but will her AFL star boyfriend be able to follow her? Port Adelaide star Ivan Soldo will have a big decision to make in the coming off-season, with his glamorous partner Chelsea Becirevic announcing she's bailing on South Australia. Soldo began dating the influencer in 2022, and they soon became one of the most visible AFL couples as their public profiles grew. However, their future seems uncertain, with Becirevic revealing she is leaving Adelaide and moving to Melbourne in the next month. Chelsea posted a video to her Instagram story with the caption 'Melbourne, Victoria, Australia' with key and house emojis. The video shows an upmarket property in Melbourne, with Soldo comfortably sitting in a chair and giving it his seal of approval. She added: 'Moving back to Melb in a month! Please DM me your fave places in South Yarra/Prahan [sic] or around that area for ... brows/lashes, laser, botox/injectables, nails.' However, Soldo is currently contracted to the Port Adelaide Football Club until the end of the 2026 AFL season and is pushing hard for a return to first grade. He was named in Port Adelaide's extended AFL squad last weekend and then dominated for the Magpies in the second-tier SANFL with 36 hitouts along with six clearances and six tackles. Further complicating the move, Chelsea has joined subscription platform Fanfix to share exclusive content and grow her brand as she prepares to launch a fashion label with Soldo later this year. Chelsea previously worked as a flight attendant in Dubai, saying that she wanted to get out of the City of Churches. 'He [Soldo] had to move to Adelaide for his career and tbh it's been a struggle for me,' she told her Instagram followers in May last year. 'It [living in Adelaide] is just not for me permanently. Temporarily it's fine. But long term in aus I think Melbourne or Gold Coast are for me... maybe even Syd.' However, she quit her airline job in September 2024 to move back to Australia and support Soldo in Adelaide. The couple faced intense media scrutiny in 2024 when Soldo requested a trade from Port Adelaide just one year into his contract, amid speculation that Chelsea's dissatisfaction with life in Adelaide was a factor. Chelsea publicly denied those rumours, writing on Instagram that she had been unfairly blamed for her partner's career decisions and that it 'wasn't anyone's business'. Their relationship milestone of moving into their first home together in Adelaide was widely covered as a counter to the split rumours and seen as proof of commitment. Soldo's absence from Port Adelaide's Best and Fairest awards night in late 2024 attracted criticism, including suggestions that he was being disrespectful to teammates and club tradition. He defended his absence by stating he was best man at his friend's wedding - an excuse fully supported by the club - and took aim at critics like Nathan Buckley and Kane Cornes for questioning his character. Soldo also spoke out against harassment directed at Chelsea, calling for an end to the 'bullying' and 'backwards narrative' that positioned her at the centre of the off‑field drama. The couple have made a long-distance relationship work before, when Chelsea worked overseas while Ivan was in Adelaide. The ruckman previously asked for a trade back to Victoria in 2024, but the request was knocked back. Power forward Mitch Georgiades previously said the club did not hold grudges over his failed attempt to leave. 'No, not at all, it happens every year, there's people come and go,' Georgiades said. 'I don't think there's any grudges or anything like that can be held, so nice to have him back. 'It hasn't been addressed at all - nothing. He has slotted back in nicely which is good.'

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

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.

Australia's 'hottest WAG' reveals the thing she hates about dating her footy star boyfriend

Chelsea Becirevic has revealed the one thing she hates the most about dating an AFL player. Dubbed Australia's 'hottest WAG', Becirevic, a social media influencer who has over 84,000 followers on Instagram, is dating Port Adelaide ruckman Ivan Soldo who stands at 204cm tall. In December, the pair took a huge step forward in their relationship and announced that they would be moving into a house together in Adelaide. They took to social media to announce the exciting news and have shared glimpses of their life in their new home since. On Tuesday, Becirevic, who last month announced she'd be joining Fanfix - a subscription service that allows creators to monetise exclusive content to subscribers, shared another insight into their lives at home on her Instagram. Becirevic can be seen in the video published on her story pulling a chair up to her kitchen worktop before climbing onto the chair. She appears to stand on the chair before reaching up to grab a glass from the top shelf of a cupboard above her kitchen. Becirevic captioned the post: 'I just woke up so pls ignore my hair. She joked: 'But this is the reality of dating someone over 6ft 8in.' While Mate Colina and Mason Cox are the two tallest players in the AFL, standing at a towering 6ft 11in, Becerivics' towering boyfriend, Soldo, remains one of the tallest players in the league, standing on par with Darcy Cameron and Sam De Koning. Becirevic, meanwhile, attracted national attention last May, after she left Australia to further her career in the aviation industry in Dubai. She had initially moved with her boyfriend to Adelaide following his trade, but had appeared to claim that living in the state was a 'struggle' and 'just not for me permanently'. Following a stint in the Middle East, she would return home in September last year. Becirevic explained she 'hated' the long distance and missed Soldo who later requested a trade back to Melbourne. However, in November, they revealed that they would not be leaving Adelaide any time soon after moving in together. The pair gained much media attention last year, after Becirevic appeared to claim that Adelaide was 'not for me permanently' but later qualified that to this masthead, stating: 'People have taken what I said the wrong way. I never dissed Adelaide, ever. I love Adelaide' She later clarified her remarks about Adelaide to Daily Mail Australia at last year's Melbourne Cup. 'People have taken what I said the wrong way. I never dissed Adelaide, ever. I love Adelaide,' she said. 'My favourite thing is the beaches; they have beautiful beaches.' More recently, Becirevic has slammed football fans who appeared to claim that she is only dating Soldo for his money. 'It's wild how often I get messages like this, 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 wrote on Instagram. '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.' Last year, Soldo opened up on how strong their bond is. 'You have to have really thick skin in this world, but we have each other and that is all that matters,' the footy star added. Soldo, meanwhile, has struggled for game time since moving to Port Adelaide in 2023 from Richmond, partly due to injury concerns. Across his first two seasons at the club, Soldo has played just nine games, making only one appearance, in Port's round three defeat by Essendon, earlier this year. In April 2024, the ruckman was ruled out for nearly a month of the season after a knee injury flared up.

Australia's 'hottest WAG' makes a HUGE new career move with OnlyFans rival after blasting trolls who claimed she's only with her AFL star boyfriend for his money

Australia's 'hottest WAG' Chelsea Becirevic has announced she is joining Fanfix, which offers subscribers exclusive content from $10 a month. It comes after Becirevic - who dates AFL star Ivan Soldo - recently slammed footy fans for claiming she only dates the towering Port Adelaide ruckman for his money. She told her Instagram followers the football world can be 'incredibly toxic towards women.' Fanfix was co-founded by Harry Gestetner in 2020 as a rival to OnlyFans - but minus the nudity. It offers a space for social media stars and influencers such as Becirevic who don't wish to be associated with explicit content to monetise 'clean, exclusive, behind-the-scenes' clips. Becirevic - who has 83,000 plus Instagram followers - is also offering an 'Ultra VIP' package for eager Fanfix subscribers at $80 per month. Becirevic has announced she is joining Fanfix (pictured), which is an OnlyFans competitor that offers subscribers exclusive content from $10 a month The VIP package includes perks such as unlimited free and priority messaging, secret sales, random freebies and custom requests. The 24-year-old first rose to prominence when she briefly left Soldo because she found life in Adelaide to be a 'struggle'. Her remarks sparked a frenzy in the City of Churches as locals reacted to her suggesting their city was 'too boring'. Becirevic moved to Dubai and worked as an air hostess for several months before returning 'home', explaining she hated the long distance and missed her man. Soldo - who won a premiership with Richmond in 2019 - last year requested a trade back to Melbourne after just one year in Adelaide. At the time, some footy fans believed Becirevic was lobbying behind the scenes for the couple to return to the Victorian capital. However, it seems she is having a much better time in Adelaide second time around. Responding to one question from an Instagram follower about coming back to live in the city, she said 'It's been so much better and [I'm] slowly meeting people which has definitely helped'. In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia at last year's Melbourne Cup, Becirevic clarified her remarks about Adelaide. 'People have taken what I said the wrong way. I never dissed Adelaide, ever. I love Adelaide,' she said.

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

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.'
