Brimming with life, Ellidy Pullin is a professional swimwear model, published author, podcast host, and solo mother after losing the love of her life, Olympian Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin, while they were trying for a baby.

Using pain as the power to open conversations, Ellidy uses her podcast Darling, Shine!, which she co-hosts with best friend Chloe Fisher, to keep her husband’s memory and legacy alive. She does so for those who knew and loved him, but most importantly for their little miracle, Minnie, through sperm retrieval and IVF.

Ellidy aims to unite widows and widowers all around the world and normalise conversations around grief. Along with her and Chumpy’s family and friends, Ellidy has created the Chumpy Pullin Foundation, a charity that will provide opportunities for disadvantaged athletes to follow their snowsports dreams.

Ellidy has graced the pages of Vogue Magazine, Women’s Weekly and Harpers Bazaar, interviewed on programs such as 60 Minutes, ABC and 7 News. Some of her iconic brand partnerships include BONDS, Monday Swimwear and Cotton On.
