Lindy Klim, the model and former Amazing Race contestant, was photographed shopping at budget retailers in Melbourne on Saturday with her two youngest daughters, offering a glimpse into her day-to-day life after a high-profile move from Bali earlier this year.
The 46-year-old was seen browsing the aisles of Big W and Priceline Pharmacy and pushing a Woolworths trolley alongside 13-year-old Frankie and 7-year-old Goldie. Klim wore a monochromatic ensemble — a black graphic T-shirt, white fitted jeans, an oversized blazer and black loafers — and carried a Diptyque tote. She had her hair slicked back into a bun and appeared relaxed as she chatted and laughed with her children.
Klim returned to Melbourne from Bali in October after separating from her husband of six years, Adam Ellis, a move that generated significant media attention. Since the relocation, she has documented parts of her private life on social media. In July, Klim posted to her Instagram Story that her family had been eating off a cardboard box for months following the move, and later shared a photograph of a newly purchased dining table and chairs, writing that she was proud to have finally bought them.
The shopping outing was a low-key contrast to Klim’s public persona, which has included coverage of her life in Bali and, more recently, reports that she left Indonesia amid personal difficulties. In the Instagram posts Klim shared this year, a man identified in captions as Paul Mullert appeared in photos of the household, seated on the floor alongside Klim’s daughter Goldie; Klim described making the meal setting "a little fancy" with a tablecloth.
Klim first rose to public attention through modelling and later appeared on the reality competition The Amazing Race. Her time living in Bali and images of an opulent lifestyle have frequently featured in press coverage, but Saturday’s images underscore the more ordinary aspects of parenting and household life as she and her children acclimatize to their life back in Australia.
Representatives for Klim did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The shopping trip was photographed and published by Australian media outlets covering local celebrity movements.
Klim’s return to Melbourne and the subsequent social-media posts offering candid domestic details have drawn attention partly because they follow a period of personal upheaval. Reporting has noted her split from Ellis and the family’s adjustment to a different routine after leaving Bali. Klim has continued to post updates from home life, sometimes with lighthearted captions, and has been pictured in public with her children undertaking everyday tasks such as grocery shopping.
As Klim and her children settle back into Melbourne life, public interest in the former socialite’s personal story remains high, with media following both her public appearances and social-media disclosures. Saturday’s photographs show a domestic scene that diverges from the glamorous images often associated with Klim, highlighting a more commonplace moment amid ongoing coverage of her recent life changes.
