Ellidy Pullin announces engagement to Brock Wadsworth six years after death of Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin
Ellidy Pullin is preparing 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.
Taking to Instagram to share the news, Ellidy revealed Brock had popped the question during a trip to Europe, with the couple celebrating their engagement in a series of romantic photographs.
In the first photo, the pair stood beachside 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 WITH ME FOREVER,’ she captioned the post alongside several crying and ring emojis.
Ellidy’s partner got down on one knee and proposed with a huge diamond ring reminiscent of one Taylor Swift’s engagement ring – with a brilliant-cut diamond in a yellow gold setting.

The engagement comes less than a year after Ellidy publicly introduced Brock to her followers and confirmed 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 on her popular Darling, Shine! podcast, revealing she had fallen for a longtime friend after initially worrying about how the public might 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 just so happy right now, and I’m really enjoying the feelings and the emotions and falling in love with Brock and having this new love,’ she said.
‘I feel guilty saying that because, obviously, there were so many times where I just thought it would just be Chump and I forever.
‘It would have been, but he passed away… I’m young, I’m never going to be alone forever. I didn’t make a rash decision. I sat on this for pretty much a whole year, and I’m really stoked with where I am with him right now. It’s f**king epic.’
She later went Instagram official with the Gold Coast contractor during a romantic trip to Bali.
The couple’s relationship continued to strengthen, with Ellidy previously revealing Brock adored her daughter Minnie, who also formed a close bond with him.

‘She’s the happiest she’s been since losing Chumpy. Things have become serious between her and Brock. They’ve built a lovely home together.’
