It was a love story – with a heart-breaking twist when Ellidy Pullin’s husband, Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin died suddenly in a tragic accident. The stunning model, from Australia, suffered an unimaginable loss and pain in 2022 when her partner, Alex – snowboarder who competed at the 2010, 2014, and 2018 Winter Olympics – drowned while spearfishing.<\/p>\n
The couple had been dating for eight years when the accident took place in 2020. After Alex’s tragic death, in Australia, the young model gave birth to his baby 15 months later. After two rounds of IVF, Ellidy welcomed their daughter Minnie Alex Pullin in October, 2021.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the podcast, Good Mourning<\/em>, the author bravely opened up about the freak accident, life without ‘Chump’, and how she gave birth to his ”miracle” baby after finding out about a procedure called post-mortem sperm retrieval. Ellidy, who was dating the Olympian, 32, for close to a decade, said that 8th July, 2020 was just like any other regular day.<\/p>\n Just hours after his death, Ellidy’s friends and family were already talking about post-mortem sperm retrieval, as they knew the couple had been ”trying for a baby”. Not even 12 hours later, the model agreed – even though she hadn’t yet processed that her long-time partner was no longer there. After two rounds of IVF, the model gave birth to Minnie Alex Pullin in October, 2021.<\/p>\nThe Miracle of Minnie: Finding Joy Amidst Grief<\/h3>\n
