Ellidy Pullin prepares to walk down the aisle.
The Gold Coast influencer and podcaster, 34, announced her engagement to boyfriend Brock Wadsworth, marking a major new chapter six years after the death of Olympic snowboarder Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin in July 2020.
Ellidy took to Instagram to share the news, revealing that Brock had popped the question during a trip to Europe, with the couple celebrating their engagement in a series of romantic photos.
In the first photo, the pair stood by the beach as Ellidy wore a black lace dress while flashing her diamond ring and holding a glass of champagne in her other hand.
“HE WANTS TO BE STUCK TO ME FOREVER,” she captioned the post alongside several crying and calling emojis.
Ellidy’s partner got down on one knee and proposed with a huge diamond ring reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s engagement ring – with a brilliant-cut diamond in a yellow gold setting.

Brock is a Gold Coast-based contractor and director of Wadsworth Contracting.
The engagement comes less than a year after Ellidy publicly introduced Brock to her followers and confirmed that she had entered a new relationship more than five years after Chumpy’s death.
Fans first met Brock when Ellidy spoke candidly about dating again in her popular Darling, Shine! podcast, in which she revealed that she had fallen in love with an old friend after initially worrying about how the public would react.
Speaking about the relationship on the LiSTNR podcast, Ellidy admitted she felt a mixture of joy and guilt after the couple revealed their romance in November.
“I’m so happy right now, and I’m really enjoying the feelings and emotions and falling in love with Brock and having this new love,” she said.
“I feel guilty saying that because of course I thought so many times that it would just be Chump and me forever.
‘That would have been true, but he died… I’m young, I’ll never be alone forever. I didn’t make a hasty decision. I’ve been on this for pretty much a whole year, and I’m very happy with where I am with him now. It’s fucking epic.’
She later went Instagram official with the Gold Coast contractor during a romantic trip to Bali.

The couple’s relationship has gone from strength to strength, with Ellidy previously revealing that Brock adored her daughter Minnie, who also formed a close bond with him.
Sources close to the influencer previously suggested that wedding bells could be on the horizon, saying Ellidy was the happiest she had been since losing Chumpy and had built a loving family life with Brock and her young daughter.
“El is in a really good place right now,” a close source said Women’s Day.
“She’s the happiest since she lost Chumpy. Things have gotten serious between her and Brock. They built a beautiful house together.’
Ellidy’s relationship news comes six years after the death of her partner Chumpy, who drowned in a freak spearfishing accident on the Gold Coast on July 8, 2020, aged 32.
In the months following his death, Ellidy underwent posthumous sperm retrieval and later welcomed their daughter Minnie in October 2021.
