- Chelsea Becirevic did a Q&A with Instagram followers
- Revealed a sexist question that she absolutely hates
Footy WAG Chelsea Becirevic has opened up about the question that she can’t stand being asked about her boyfriend Ivan Soldo, insisting that the football world can be ‘incredibly toxic towards women’.
The 24-year-old influencer took to Instagram on Monday night to do a Q&A with her 83,000 followers, revealing that she will be taking in some of Europe’s most famous locations on a big holiday later this year.
However, the former air hostess was not impressed when somebody replied: ‘Let me guess.. Europe all on poor Ivan’s dollar?’
Becirevic fired back: ‘It’s wild how often I get messages like this, usually from fake accounts consistently implying I’m only with my partner for his money or that I don’t have anything of my own going on.
‘The assumption is not just false, it’s tired, small-minded and honestly gross. You see 1% of our lives on here, if that. You actually don’t know anything.
‘Why is it so hard to believe that a woman can be with a successful man and be successful herself or have her own money?

The influencer said that ‘the football world can be incredibly toxic towards women’
‘The football world can be incredibly toxic towards women. I don’t usually say anything but the constant judgement and dismissive narratives… I’m exhausted by it.’
Becirevic first rose to prominence when she briefly left her Port Power boyfriend because she found life in Adelaide to be a ‘struggle’.
Her remarks sparked a frenzy in the City of Churches as locals reacted to her suggesting their city was ‘too boring’.
Becirevic moved to Dubai and worked as an air hostess for several months before returning ‘home’, explaining she hated the long distance and missed her boyfriend.
Soldo – who won a premiership with Richmond in 2019 – last year requested a trade back to Melbourne after just one year in Adelaide.
Some footy fans suspected Becirevic was lobbying behind the scenes for the couple to return to the Victorian capital.
However, it seems she is having a much better time of it in Adelaide this time around.
Responding to one question from a follower about coming back to live in the city, she said ‘It’s been so much better and [I’m] slowly meeting people which has definitely helped’.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia at last year’s Melbourne Cup, Becirevic clarified her remarks about Adelaide.
‘People have taken what I said the wrong way. I never dissed Adelaide, ever. I love Adelaide – I have lived there for the past year,’ she said.
‘My favourite thing is the beaches; they have beautiful beaches.’
