'Australia's hottest WAG' Chelsea Becirevic reveals the 'gross' sexist question she can't stand being asked about her footy star boyfriend Ivan Soldo
Footy WAG Chelsea Becirevic has opened up about the question that she can't stand being asked about her boyfriend Ivan Soldo, insisting that the football world can be 'incredibly toxic towards women'. The 24-year-old influencer took to Instagram on Monday night to do a Q&A with her 83,000 followers, revealing that she will be taking in some of Europe's most famous locations on a big holiday later this year. However, the former air hostess was not impressed when somebody replied: 'Let me guess.. Europe all on poor Ivan's dollar?' Becirevic fired back: '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. 'The assumption is not just false, it's tired, small-minded and honestly gross. You see 1% of our lives on here, if that. You actually don't know anything. 'Why is it so hard to believe that a woman can be with a successful man and be successful herself or have her own money? The influencer said that 'the football world can be incredibly toxic towards women' 'The football world can be incredibly toxic towards women. I don't usually say anything but the constant judgement and dismissive narratives... I'm exhausted by it.' Becirevic first rose to prominence when she briefly left her Port Power boyfriend 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 boyfriend. Soldo - who won a premiership with Richmond in 2019 - last year requested a trade back to Melbourne after just one year in Adelaide. Some footy fans suspected 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 of it in Adelaide this time around. Responding to one question from a 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 - I have lived there for the past year,' she said.

Australia's hottest footy WAG Chelsea Becirevic stuns as she sunbathes on a break from her AFL star boyfriend Ivan Soldo
Chelsea Becirevic first rose to prominence when she briefly left her AFL star boyfriend because she found life in Adelaide to be a 'struggle' - and now she has jetted out of the City of Churches for some sun and sand on the Gold Coast. The footy WAG left her Port Power star partner Ivan Soldo at home as she had an early-season break on the glitter strip, where she often holidays. On Tuesday she worked on her tan at one of the coast's famous beaches, clad in a figure-hugging beige one-piece swimsuit, baseball cap and sunglasses as she took some selfies while relaxing on the sand. Meanwhile, Soldo was back at their home in South Australia, minding Chelsea's dog and training with the Power. The situation brings back memories of the couple's brief stint apart last May, when Becirevic left the country just seven months after moving to Adelaide to be with her man after he was traded by Richmond. She proved the novelty of living in 'Radelaide' had well and truly worn off in an Instagram post in which she announced she was moving to Dubai to start a new life working for an airline. Responding to questions from her followers, the 24-year-old said she has 'always wanted to work for Emirates, live in Dubai and travel the world. So that's exactly what I'm gonna do'. Asked if she was taking anyone with her, Becirevic replied, 'Doing this one solo. Never moved anywhere by myself so will be good to gain some independence. 'I've always wanted to move overseas, so I think it'll be an exciting new chapter for me.' While stressing she and Soldo have no issues, she did reveal, 'He had to move to Adelaide for his career and tbh it's been a struggle for me. 'It [living in Adelaide] is just not for me permanently,' she added, followed by a black heart emoji. She then revealed that she wanted to live in Melbourne or on the Gold Coast. In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia at last year's Melbourne Cup, Becirevic backtracked on her remarks about Adelaide. 'People have taken what I said the wrong way. I never dissed Adelaide, ever. I love Adelaide - I have lived there for the past year,' she said. 'My favourite thing is the beaches; they have beautiful beaches.' The quick trip to the Gold Coast is just one of several holidays the social media influencer has enjoyed in recent months. Most notably, she and Soldo enjoyed a luxury trip to Canada over the Christmas break, with the couple skiing at the famous Whistler resort. Becirevic revealed to her Instagram followers that she was hospitalised shortly after returning home in January, with the reason for the health scare remaining a mystery. Meanwhile, Soldo is trying to break back into Port Adelaide's AFL side after an up-and-down start to the season. The ruckman was a late addition to the team for Port's round-three loss to Essendon, but has otherwise been playing in the club's SANFL side. He featured for the AFL side eight times last year as an old knee injury flared up, forcing him to have surgery that knocked him out of several games.
