It is a very singular story which has just arrived in Australia and which moved the whole country by its beauty and its sadness, since everything starts from a terrible story. A true star in his country, Alex Pullin, two-time snowboard cross world champion, died in July 2020. While spearfishing off the Australian coast, Australia’s former flag bearer at the Olympics in Sochi in 2014 drowned while fishing in the sea, plunging an entire nation into mourning and incomprehension. Died at only 32 years old, the Australian leaves behind his companion Ellidy.
More than fifteen months after the disappearance of the snowboard champion, a very good news comes to brighten the daily life of the Australians, since the former companion of the sportsman has just announced the birth of his first child, Minnie Alex, who is none other than Alex Pullin’s daughter! As surprising as it may seem, the latter therefore became a father more than a year after his disappearance since his wife had recourse to a in vitro fertilization after requesting to collect sperm posthumously on her late husband.
Ellidy documented her pregnancy on her Instagram account where she is followed by more than 130,000 subscribers. She announced the good news of the birth of little Minnie on October 25 by sharing two beautiful photos of the little girl by her side. “Our daughter, born October 25, 2021”, she wrote, as a reminder that although today deceased, Alex Pullin still remains with her. This magnificent news was very popular with Internet users since the publication has been liked more than 84,000 times.
