Model and podcaster Ellidy Pullin has announced she’s pregnant almost one year after losing her partner, snowboarding champion, Alex “Chumpy” Pullin, in a tragic diving accident.
In a post shared with her 60,000 followers on Instagram, Ellidy announced her news with a series of beautiful photos taken in a field, the sun shining behind her and yes, a visible pregnant belly.

“Bubba Chump coming this October,” she captioned one of the pics.
“I have been dreaming of you for years little one. With a heart wrenching plot twist in the middle, I am honoured to finally welcome a piece of the phenomenon that is Chumpy back into this world!”

She adds that she had been hoping to be pregnant when Chumpy passed away in July 2020:
“When my love had his accident, we all held onto hope that I’d be pregnant that month. We’d been trying for a baby. IVF was on our cards but it wasn’t something I ever imagined I’d be tackling on my own. Bittersweet like none other, I’ve never been more certain or excited about anything in my entire life.”

Chumpy, who was Australia’s first snowboard world champion and three-time Olympian, was 32 years old.
