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.

NRL poised to unveil Mal Meninga as Perth Bears' inaugural coach
Mal Meninga has a mighty task to make the Perth Bears competitive from the outset as history paints a bleak picture of the NRL's expansion teams in their early years. The NRL is poised to unveil Meninga as the Bears' head coach this week, with the rugby league great expected to relinquish his post in charge of the Australian national team to take the helm in 2027. The nine-time State of Origin series-winning coach is understood to have beaten South Sydney great Sam Burgess and former Parramatta boss Brad Arthur to the role, his first in charge of a club since 2001. The appointment of household name Meninga is expected to help generate big interest in the AFL-mad city, which has not had a team since the Western Reds folded in 1997. But a tough task looms for Meninga amid the excitement of the Bears' return to the NRL, 25 years after their Northern Eagles merger with Manly collapsed. Some 14 expansion teams have joined the NRL and its predecessors since 1982, when the league first began to expand out of Sydney. Only two of those teams, the Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm, played finals in their first two seasons. Even then, the Broncos only made it to a playoff game to reach the official post-season in 1989, losing that match to Cronulla. Among the 12 remaining teams, only one – the Auckland Warriors of 1995 – had a winning record in either of their first two seasons, while three picked up the wooden spoon in the same time-frame. Only six of the 12 remaining are still in the league in their current format, the vast majority of others folding in the aftermath of the 1997 Super League War. The last Perth expansion team, the Reds, did not play finals in any of their three seasons, the best of those an 11th-placed finish in 1995 that ended with a respectable 50% winning record. The statistics come after Wayne Bennett told AAP last month coaching an expansion team was one of rugby league's bigger challenges. Sign up to Australia Sport Get a daily roundup of the latest sports news, features and comment from our Australian sports desk after newsletter promotion NRL HQ considers the Dolphins expansion project a big success for its nationwide fan community and ability to challenge the Broncos for airtime in rugby league heartland Brisbane. But even then, Bennett did not lead the team to finals in their first two years, and the team sits outside the top eight at the halfway mark of their third campaign. '[Coaching an expansion team] sounds like a lot of fun but it can be a journey to nowhere,' South Sydney coach Bennett said. 'It's an extremely tough gig and it's not something I would recommend for anyone to take up.'

She's just like us! Makeup free Sophie Monk gets windswept as she catches a bus with her rarely-seen husband Joshua Gross in Brisbane
Sophie Monk proved she was just like the rest of us on Wednesday when she was spotted using public transport in Brisbane. The Love Island Australia host, 45, boarded a bus with her husband Joshua Gross. The reality star sipped on a hot beverage in a takeaway cup as she walked side by side with her marketing head honcho beau. Makeup free, she revealed her rosy cold cheeks as the wind blew in her face. Sophie donned some big-named labels for the outing, draping a $4,250 Balenciaga Le City bag over her shoulder and sporting a pair of white Alexander McQueen sneakers, which retail for nearly $1,000, on her feet. 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. A thigh-length neutral-toned rain jacket, fitted with a cinched waist and a hood, shielded the star from the wind during her stroll. She finished off the laidback fit with skinny jeans and grey ankle socks. As for accessories, she wore dainty silver bracelets on her wrist and pearl stud earrings, before chucking on a pair of sunglasses as she hopped on the bus. Her partner also opted for an off-duty fit, wearing a black zip-up hoodie over a white T-shirt. Matching his wife in a pair of blue jeans, Joshua wore white sneakers and a white cap for the windy outing. He also carried a large black Louis Vuitton bag over his shoulder while also nursing a warm beverage in the cold weather. Joshua rocked his signature mustache and a little bit of stubble on his chin. Sophie and Joshua wed in a private ceremony at their Central Coast, NSW home in 2022. Speaking to Stellar Magazine, Sophie called the small wedding 'so beautiful and relaxed'. She added that she chose to have a wedding at home to keep things 'stress-free' while Joshua called their private home 'our sanctuary' and was glad to make wedding memories that will last a lifetime there. Another reason they chose to have a wedding on their own was because Sophie was happy to keep the guest list to a bare minimum. 'We figured, if you don't invite one person, then no-one could get upset,' she told Stellar. She designed her own dress, and gave J'Aton Couture just two weeks to create it based off her own sketches. Joshua proposed on Christmas Day the year before, but they waited until January to announce their happy news. The couple first met on a flight from Europe to Australia in August 2018 and shared a kiss after enjoying 'three champagnes' in business class.

Do singletons have 'huge fatigue' with dating apps like Tinder?
The founder of a new in-person dating and friendship network has told the BBC he created it because of people's "huge fatigue" with dating five million adults use online dating services each month in the UK, according to an Ofcom report released in who did not want the BBC to use his surname, established the Date IRL (In Real Life) network in Oxford for people to meet partners and said he decided to form the group after "grappling" with how hard it could be to "make friends who are not your colleagues" having left university. Mitch, who is originally from the American Midwest, told BBC Radio Oxford: "For me personally, no one really prepares you for life after university and when you enter the workforce."No one tells you about the magnitude of the shift from when you enter into a nine-to-five job when you're trying to make friends, you're trying to have a social life, but also balancing all the rights and responsibilities of being an adult in society."He explained Date IRL would involve regular meet-ups, such as pub quizzes, and was as much about finding friendships as it was dating. Last year's Ofcom report found that the four most popular dating apps in the UK - Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Grindr - all lost UK users between May 2023 and May 2024."I think everyone has a bit of a gripe about how dating apps are superficial and the conversations are very surface level," Mitch said."It leads to this huge fatigue, not anger but in frustration, with the dating app experience."Explaining why he created Date IRL, Mitch explained: "In that process from moving away from connecting with people in pubs and out and about with friends, we've spun the pendulum too far in the opposite direction."As technology is increasingly taking over parts of our life, real people, real places and real connections is going to be something that everybody needs more of."The first Date IRL event takes place at The Cape of Good Hope pub in Oxford on 14 June.
