Lindy Klim makes shock confession about her living conditions after fleeing Bali and leaving husband
Lindy, 45, moved back to Melbourne from Bali in October last year after her shock split with her husband of six years, Adam Ellis.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Thursday, the Balinese princess revealed that her family had been eating their meals off a cardboard box.
She shared one photo that depicted an open-plan living and dining space that offered an enviable view of the Melbourne skyline.
Taking pride of place in the image was a stylish circular dining table with a thick, burgundy base, with four matching chairs surrounding it.

Captioning the image, Lindy revealed that the table was a very recent addition to the household.
'I'm so proud of myself,' she wrote. 'I've finally bought a dining table and chairs.'
'We have literally been eating off a cardboard box on the floor for months,' she added, augmenting the quip with a crying-laughing face emoji.
Lindy shared a second photo that showed evidence of her low-key dining set-up.
The image showed what appeared to be Lindy's new beau, Paul Mullert, sitting cross-legged on the floor with Lindy's youngest daughter Goldie, seven, and two more people, partially shown.
Despite the very casual scene, Lindy's innate sense of style still shone through in the photo.
'I made it a little fancy with a tablecloth,' she captioned the image, with another laughing emoji.
Lindy moved back to Australia in October after living in Bali for 14 years following her split with husband Adam Ellis.
Speculation that her second marriage of six years had ended emerged after Lindy posed for a family portrait with her four children – with no sign of Ellis.
After posting the image to Instagram, eagle-eyed followers noticed that Lindy was also no longer wearing her engagement ring.
An insider told Confidential that the pair had been well and truly over for some time.
'They have also not been seen together for a number of months,' they told the publication.
'Plus he isn't in any of her social media photographs.'
Lindy also teased the move in October, sharing two striking images of a Balinese sunrise with the caption: 'Last few hours in Bali, see you soon Melbourne.'
Following her move to Melbourne, Lindy debuted her new relationship with medical tech businessman Paul Mullert in February.
'He's just a normal, nice guy. We've been seeing each other for a few months and just taking it slow,' Lindy told The Daily Telegraph.
'This is a nice little intro into my world.'
Mullert was born and raised in Perth and was close friends with late Aussie actor Heath Ledger throughout his childhood.
Lindy also revealed the surprising way they met: 'Paul's sister lives in Bali and she said you should go on a date with my brother. It's been amazing back in Melbourne.'
Speaking about her return to Australia on the FemmeCon Presents: Modern Woman, Redefined in February, Lindy revealed that she came back Down Under starting from scratch
'I rented a house that's fully furnished, because I have nothing. I arrived in Australia with two suitcases and my kids,' she said.
'I left everything in Bali. I don't even care. I don't ever want to see it again.'
Lindy shares three children with her ex-husband, Australian Olympic swimmer Michael Klim, Stella, 18, Rocco, 16, and Frankie, 13, and one with her second husband, Goldie, seven.

Inside Sydney Sweeney's grueling exercise and diet regime as star sizzles in swimsuit alongside mystery man
Sydney Sweeney turned heads this weekend as she soaked up the sun in a swimsuit during a lakefront getaway in northern Idaho. The 27-year-old actress was seen cozying up to a mystery man, sharing playful moments and stepping away from her group of friends and family to spend some alone time with him. While some fans were left wondering who her potential new beau is, many have also been marveling at her sculpted physique. Sweeney, who is set to star as former professional boxer Christy Martin in upcoming biopic titled Christy, proudly flaunted her figure that is the result of a disciplined workout routine and diet. So how exactly did she achieve her toned look? Sweeney has always had an active streak, and has credited much of her natural athleticism to her outdoorsy upbringing. 'I grew up on the water, always running around in a bikini,' she previously told Elle. 'If I wasn't swimming in the lake or the ocean, I was skiing or attempting to surf.' Summers, she explained to Women's Health, have always played a transformative role in her physique. 'I see such a change in my body after an entire summer. My arms are stronger and more sculpted. My abs are rock solid.' But her natural athleticism doesn't stop with seasonal activities. The actress also has a background in mixed martial arts (MMA), a sport she took seriously enough to compete in - and win. 'I did competitions and I got first place fighting all guys,' she once revealed to Kelly Clarkson. But lately, Sweeney's fitness game has reached a new level, thanks to intense preparation for Christy. 'I've been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman - a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring,' she shared in an Instagram post. 'Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope.' In an interview with W magazine, she explained that while training for the role of Christy, her body became completely different. 'I loved it,' she said. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training. I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.' Because of this intense routine, she went up four clothes sizes. 'My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, "Oh my God." But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong,' she said. And when she isn't training to play the most successful female boxer of the 90s, she likes to stay fit through Pilates and other similar exercises. 'I like this place called SolidCore. It's a full-body high-intensity workout but on a reformer, and it's been killing my ass. I love it,' she told WSJ Magazine. The star also emphasized the physical and emotional benefits of the practice, telling Women's Health, 'It just makes me feel so toned and strong, but also elongated, and I feel so good doing that.' As for her diet? It's not as intense as you would expect. 'I love a good bowl of berries and some eggs and a bagel,' she said to Women's Health of her go-to breakfast. She explained that she loves being on the water and noticed that during the summer, her body is at its most toned Lunch is often 'something hearty,' which to her can either mean a chicken Caesar salad or even a cheeseburger. Dinner usually depends on where she is, but one cuisine always stands out: 'I love Italian… Italian's usually my go-to for dinner,' she admitted. Despite the demands of her career, Sweeney doesn't restrict herself too harshly. 'It's important to eat,' she explained. 'I definitely one day will probably start eating healthier, but I work out and I'm so active, so I'm able to balance that out. But I love food and it makes me happy.' That love for food definitely includes sweets. 'I love my sugar. I love my candy. I love my cookies and ice cream,' she admitted. 'I'll randomly find some Sour Patch Kids or some peanut M&M's,' she said. Interestingly, despite seemingly doing everything all at once, she's never turned to coffee for energy. She also loves doing outdoor sports like skiing 'I've never even tried coffee,' she previously told Bustle. Instead, she relies on sugar when she needs a pick-me-up, including Swedish Fish or 'anything gummy.' And when it comes to drinks, she keeps it simple. 'I just identify as just a water person… I never really think about alcohol, to be honest.' She explained that since her tween years, she's stayed on top of her hydration. 'Ever since I was 12 years old, I was like, "I'm just going to drink water." And I love it.' She's also partnered with flavored water brand Bai to add a little variety.

Paulina Porizkova, 60, shares VERY sexy bikini photo before bravely revealing a more realistic snap with 'no filter'
Eighties pinup Paulina Porizkova has taken off her clothes again. The 60-year-old Vogue supermodel was seen in both her sexy string bikini and her plain nude-toned lingerie in an Instagram post shared on Tuesday for her 1.2M followers. In the bikini snap, the siren looked flawless with not a mark on her skin or a hair out of place while she was lounging in a cabana by a lake. In the lingerie image, the catwalk veteran was under a less flattering light as she looked to be in poor spirits. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue favorite took note of her two different looks and how she accepts both as she settles into her sixties. 'This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot,' she began writing about the stunning bikini photo. And she then commented on her other look: 'This is also me. Home, not great light, not posing,' added the '80s icon about the lingerie photo. Then Porizkova wrapped it up: 'This is 60. This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not. 60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again.' The Prostějov native also noted: 'It's 60 years of learning of what works and what doesn't. And just as I think I've figured it out, everything changes and I have to start again. 'The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam.' Her hashtags were for 'between jlo and betty white,' 'this is 60' as well as 'no makeup and no filter. She also said that she was keepin' it real.' Her celebrity followers loved the post with Charisma Carpenter noting: 'Stunner. But also, fierce, intuitive, a talented writer, resilient, empathic and so very intelligent. Inspiring! Hope to connect again soon.' Alyssa Milano wrote, 'The most beautiful at any age and in any light.' Linda Evangelista used a proud hands emoji as Selma Blair commented: 'Gorgeous ❤️.' She often talks aging. In 2023 Porizkova said she used to take her body 'for granted.' The model is still keen to stay in shape even though it takes 'much more time and effort' but explained that it is all worth it because it allows her to keep moving through the 'beauty of the world.' She told SheKnows: 'Staying in shape takes much more time and effort, but it allows me to fully inhabit this shell I was given at birth, something I took for granted most of my life. But not anymore. Now it's a deliberate decision to allow it to work as best as it can, being grateful for its ability to move me through the world to keep harvesting the beauty of it all. Pain included.' Meanwhile, the former America's Next Top Model judge was married to singer Ric Ocasek from 1989 until his death in 2019 and has children Jonathan, 31, and 26-year-old Oliver with him but faced financial hardship and had to sell her house when she learned she had been left out of his will. Paulina wrote her memoir No Filter and admitted she wished she could have just told of her struggles on Instagram but knew she had to 'set boundaries' on her revelations because it could have affected the potential of a house sale. She added: 'It was such a ridiculous situation to be in. In fact, all that kept going through my brain at that time was, 'I need to write a scripted TV series about a woman who this happens to and she has a fabulous, beautiful house, but she has zero money to pay for it. And she can't tell anybody that she has zero money to pay for it because then she won't be able to sell it at its proper price. 'So she's trying to act rich, but she really can't afford to do it.' Like, I had the most nonsensical and useless ideas! I had to set boundaries on what I would reveal. I wish I could have just given it up on Instagram and [said], 'I'm so f***** right now. 'Like, I don't have money for groceries, and my friends are buying all the food, and I'm freaking out about trying to sell my house.' But that would have been sawing off my legs at the knee. It would have made me feel better, but it would have screwed me.
