Caitlyn Jenner skips Big Brother co-star Ellie Gonsalves’ lavish two-day wedding on the Gold Coast after offering to walk her down the aisle
Model and influencer Ellie Gonsalves married her long-term partner Ross Scutts last month.
But there was one VIP guest missing: Ellie’s former Big Brother VIP Australia co-star, Caitlyn Jenner, 73.
The former American athlete had offered to walk Ellie down the aisle, but was unable to make the trip at the last minute.
She planned to come from the US for the wedding to escort me down the aisle, but the dates unfortunately didn’t match her work and she had to cancel her trip at the last minute, which is. understandable,” said Ellie The Herald Sun.
“The offer in itself for her to fly out to walk me down the aisle was so sweet and we’ve had this wonderful unexpected friendship that grew out of the experience on the show.”

The pair became close when they appeared on the reality show in 2021 and keep in touch regularly through FaceTime calls.
Ellie got married in two lavish ceremonies late last month.
The 33-year-old’s official wedding took place at La Luna floating beach club on the Gold Coast in an intimate toi et moi wedding.
They followed it up with a second lavish gathering where they invited their bridal party and other guests Fashion on Saturday.

Gonsalves said she originally just wanted to elope abroad with her entrepreneur beau, but changed her mind after visiting the “Mediterranean-inspired” La Luna.
The actress went on to say that the lovebirds knew from the start that they wanted a “really intimate” ceremony with just the two of them, and enlisted wedding planner Alysia Bridger to help organize everything.
“We wanted our ceremony to be very intimate. We both lost our dads so we always knew it was going to be an emotional day,” said the former Big Brother VIP star.
“We got married the way we started, just him and me. Celebrating our love in the most special way we can imagine.’

Attendees at the first ceremony included wedding planner Alysia, their dog Daisy who acted as a ring bearer, celebrant Jake Smith, videographer Caio Souza and photographer Lauren Shulz.
The Wildlife Warrior ambassador wore a long-sleeved dress by designer Sam Oglialoro and stylist Paul Versace with a sheer neckline and floral appliqués along the fitted bodice and dramatic train.
One of three dresses she wore all weekend, the luxe piece featured a plunging neckline that accentuated her assets and highlighted her glamorous makeup, created by Alex Perrin.
She wore a 1920s style veil decorated with flower petals that molded to her platinum blonde pixie cut styled by Brodie Tsiknaris, along with a plethora of classic diamond jewels designed by Calleija.

Gonsalves revealed that she and Sam, the founder of Oglia-Loro Couture, have “worked together for years” and “he has a mannequin of my body shape in his office with my exact measurements.”
She, along with Paul of Styled By Bloom, “all decided on three couture dresses: a ceremony dress, a reception dress and a party dress.”
“I’m really a low profile girl, but when your friend and one of the best wedding dress designers in the world wants to make you three dresses, you say yes,” said Gonsalves.
Gonsalves walked down an aisle above La Luna’s pool with a bouquet of white flowers with a photo of her late father attached, before she and her new husband celebrated with a private dinner catered by celebrity chef Alastair McLeod.
