ES, AGE TV N!’

Hi Brynne. How did you and Brok meet? SIX YEARS ON FROM HER DIVORCE, THE SOCIALITE DEBUTS HER NEW MAN! could be on the cards for the two of you? Do you think your previous marriage to Geoffrey Edelsten has changed your approach to things? Clearly you get

We’ve known each other since at least 2014 through people, but we didn’t know each other personally until recently. He messaged me on Facebook a few times and I was reluctant at first, but I thought, what do I have to lose? So a week before my birthday [in January] we had our first date and it was amazing.

I have literally not gone home to my apartment since!

Wow – things are moving pretty fast! When did you realise Brok was the one?

I felt it straight away! I have never had someone treat me so well. We actually just came back from Adelaide for his sister’s wedding and his parents are beautiful – I have never had that with someone.

On the topic of weddings, do you think marriage

Well, at his sister’s wedding, I caught the bouquet! His sister and her husband, they’ve been together for seven and a half years, and I turned around [to Brok] and was like, “I’m not waiting for seven and a half years, I’m not waiting seven and a half months!” But it’s only been six weeks, so it’s not time for engagement talk yet.

If anything, it’s made me more held back. I don’t want to get hurt and I don’t want to jump into something … but never say never because then you jinx yourself.

No, not yet. My family are all in America, so, because of COVID-19, they can’t come over. But Brok is friends with them on Facebook and they talk. Hopefully once all this COVID stuff ends, they can [meet him].

The fact that he is so accepting of me. He brings me out of my shell and he makes me do things I wouldn’t normally do.
