Jordan Sukkar posted video footage on social media this week showing his wife, Bernadette Sukkar, retrieving and eating a takeaway box of chips from a household rubbish bin, footage that he shared while marking her birthday.
The footage, shared to Jordan Sukkar's Instagram account alongside a photograph of the couple, includes a CCTV clip filmed in the couple's backyard. The clip appears to show Bernadette Sukkar walk to the bin after depositing rubbish, pause, then return to rummage through the waste before taking a rectangular cardboard takeaway box from the bin and eating the contents. The clip was described in reporting as showing chips that were roughly 12 hours old.
Bernadette Sukkar, 36, is a well-known figure in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and is associated with the Bondi Pilates studios. She married property developer Jordan Sukkar in a widely reported ceremony in November. Jordan shared a photograph of the couple beaming together as part of his birthday post, followed by the CCTV clips that prompted a surge of comments from followers.
The posts were framed as a light-hearted birthday tribute and drew attention in social media comments, where followers responded to the footage. The couple did not provide extended comment in the posts beyond the images and clips shared on Jordan Sukkar's account.
The footage adds to coverage of the couple's public profile; Bernadette Sukkar has appeared in media reporting in connection with her business activities in Bondi and her social presence in the Eastern Suburbs. The video clip circulated widely after being posted, prompting further commentary from social media users and coverage in entertainment outlets.
The Instagram posts remain visible on Jordan Sukkar's account, where the photograph and accompanying clips were posted to mark Bernadette Sukkar's birthday. Media outlets that reported the story cited the clips and the Instagram posts as their primary sources of material for the account of events.
