Shock moment mummy blogger thought her husband was cheating interstate after bizarre bank statement appeared on her phone - and it could to anyone
An Aussie influencer has revealed the embarrassing moment she mistakenly thought her husband was cheating on her after receiving a bizarre bank statement.
Mummy blogger Sarah Kearns, 35, shared the cringeworthy ordeal with her social media followers, revealing it happened while her husband Brad was on an interstate trip.
'Let me set the scene for you. It's 8:20pm on a school night, and Brad is interstate at a work conference,' Sarah began.
'He had texted me earlier to let me know they were all going out after the conference for drinks - the afterparty if you will.'
She said the misunderstanding occurred after she received a confusing bank notification on her phone, which did not reveal the whole picture.
'So there I am. Snuggled up in bed, loving the alone time, reading my book... All-in-all the perfect night when my suddenly my phone went off,' she exclaimed.
'It's the bank. An automatic notification to let me know money was spent from our account. An annoying but clever feature. $36 spent at… wait for it… "Forever Seduced Ho".'
Sarah revealed the business name initially caused some confusion as she didn't realise it was an abbreviation for a restaurant trading under Forever Seduced Hospitality Group.
'What in the work event drinks is this place?? What kind of establishment is old mate at? How many partners sent the exact same message, "work drinks, hey?",' she quipped.
Sarah then revealed her embarrassment after realising she had jumped to the wrong conclusion and sent her husband text messages accusing him of cheating.
'So I did what any rational wife would do. I googled "Forever Seduced Ho Docklands". Turns out it's the company that owns the club near the convention centre,' Sarah explained.
'Four stars. Great vibe. Questionable branding. Would recommend for post conference drinks if you enjoy explaining the receipt to your partner next day.'
Sarah and Brad have one of the strongest marriages in the business.
Her husband of 14 years Brad, also known as 'DadMum' online, went viral on Facebook back in 2016 when he penned a scathing post after a man passed judgement on his wife for being 'just' a stay at home parent.
She said the misunderstanding occurred after she received a confusing bank notification on her phone, which did not reveal the whole picture
'We went to a wedding the other week. We were on a table which was half half. Half us and half them. It wasn't too bad and we all got along. They started that awkward conversation which we all have when we meet new adults,' he wrote at the time.
'"So what do you do with yourself?"
'I don't know why this f*****g conversation happens. It's almost like a passive game of "who's the richest" or "guess my lifestyle".'
Brad said when he explained what he did for a living nobody 'batted an eyelid' but when a male guest started to question his wife Sarah it was a different story.
'And then he looks at Sarah. He says: "oh so you just stay home and look after the kids?"' Brad sniped.
'I don't know how this has become a generalisation but it f***ing stinks.'
Brad then urged his followers to stop judging and making assumptions about other parents.

UK pop star Rita Ora reveals the surprising gift she took home from her time Down Under: 'It's your fault, Australia'
UK pop star has revealed a very surprising gift that she took home during her recent stint Down Under. The Lonely Together hitmaker, 34, was a coach on Channel Seven series The Voice from 2021 to 2023. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph about her latest sultry single Heat, Rita revealed that Australia was to thank for her stunning beach bod. The clip for Rita's new single features the bikini clad popstar sunning herself on Miami beach. While she may also often flaunt her svelte bikini-clad frame on social media, the popstar revealed it hasn't always been the case. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Asked by the publication if she was 'born in a bikini', Rita admitted she only started to feel comfortable in swimwear after her Australian jaunt. 'Everyone's been asking me that,' Rita exclaimed. 'When I first got there to do The Voice, my health life changed drastically so I feel like I found my bikini bod in Australia, genuinely.' She added that she was inspired to take a more active approach to her fitness after catching a glimpse of the Australian lifestyle. 'I started exercising, sitting in the sun, seeing how fit everyone else is in Australia when they're walking down the beach,' she said. 'So it's your fault, Australia, you've made me just wear a bikini.' It comes after Rita set pulses racing with a very cheeky display to promote the single earlier this week. She made sure all eyes were on her as she posed up a storm in the tiny This Belongs To shorts that she paired with a hot pink bikini. Rita layered a white strappy body suit over her diamante swimwear all from the same brand and added inches to her physique with a pair of strappy heeled sandals. To accessorise, the songstress wore a pair of large white Pucci sunglasses and colourful hoop earrings. Heat is expected to feature on her upcoming, still untitled, fourth album, which will be her first album release since her 2023 You & I. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie Minogue for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from Tension, Padam Padam, was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie. But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song. Lostboy told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'We wrote Padam in February 2022 and there were maybe four or five months of us sitting on it, then I sent it to their label, and someone suggested to me, "Kylie would kill this."' He added: 'They were unsure and there was a moment when Rita was going to cut it and it was worming around a few artists on that label. 'They were trying to make it work but they didn't think it was for Kylie.' Rita is well-known to Australian audiences for her role as a judge on The Voice from 2021 to 2023. She appeared as a panellist on the UK version of the show since it launched its first episode in 2020, before she was replaced by Maya Jama this year. Elsewhere, 2023 was Rita's first appearance on the US version of the show as she replaced Nicole Scherzinger, who left to star in the West End hit Sunset Boulevard. She also tied the knot with New Zealand director Taika Waititi in a low-key ceremony back in 2022. While the couple live between London, Los Angeles and New Zealand, they have been spending more time Down Under as they both work on creative projects.

Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding spotted jetting into Melbourne after New York trip...as the comedian goes straight back to 'work' on mammoth mansion project
Andy Lee cut a casual figure on Saturday, when he was spotted with partner Rebecca Harding, jetting into Melbourne after a New York jaunt. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates. With Andy at the helm of the venture, it is backed by an owner's group that includes the likes of Hamish Blake, tennis star Ash Barty, surfing legend Mick Fanning, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins and Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman. Andy was dressed for on the long haul flight, wearing a pair of loose-fitting navy blue tracksuit pants. He also wore a crisp, white long sleeve polo shirt, and a pair of well-worn white sneakers. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Finishing his flight ensemble, the Hundred host wore a brown and white Cherry LA trucker cap. Rebecca, meanwhile was similarly attired in a pair of grey track suit pants and a white top that she wore under a thigh-length coat. Wearing a black headband to keep her locks of her face, Rebecca was also spotted wheeling a silver suitcase and hand luggage. Andy, meanwhile appeared more interested in his phone, smiling as he scrolled and walked. He did not let jet lag get to him either, getting back on the tools at his ambitious Melbourne mansion renovation. He shared a photo to Instagram on Saturday afternoon that showed him happily posing with construction crew at the build site. While the workers, who appeared to have been rendering a cement wall looked suitably dirty, Andy, who offered a heart thumbs up, was conspicuously spotless. 'Me and the boys got the walls done in a day. I certainly don't want to take all the credit, it was a team effort,' he captioned the image. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates His followers were quick to flood the comments with suggestions that Andy was only there for the 'photo op.' 'Good to see the shoes are nice and dirty,' one offered, commenting on Andy's pristine footwear. Another chimed in with a cheeky: 'Andy rocking up just in time for smoko.' Hopefully they kept the noise down as Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed, earlier this month, that some neighbours are less-than-enamoured with the protracted build. 'It's noisy. It's been noisy... It's frustrating because it's been going for a year and we've still got a couple more years to go,' one disgruntled person said. Though they went on to add the 'earthworks' was the noisiest portion of the build, the neighbour said nowadays it has 'actually settled down quite a bit'. Andy and Rebecca have grand plans for their Italianate manor, with the planned renovation worth an estimated $5million having begun in 2023. The comedian has been hard at work on the derelict Melbourne mansion, called Ravenswood, he bought for $8.5million in 2021, in a Block-style rebuild. The couple won council approval for their development application back in June 2023. Plans for the site include adding a second building which will be connected by a tunnel to the original Italianate mansion, which was built around 1876. Other highlights planned for the 1,950 square metre holding include a home theatre, a gym, a swimming pool and a 'mega bedroom'. In a statement to the Herald Sun, Boroondara Council confirmed it had issued a notice of decision to grant a planning permit for the Yarra Grove address. One neighbour told the Sydney Morning Herald in December the construction cacophony had caused the couple to lose 'a lot of community goodwill'. 'The noise is just horrendous,' the disgruntled neighbour told the publication.
