They tied the knot at a Melbourne registry office in 2015 before announcing their abrupt split just months later.
And two years on, millionaire Geoffrey Edelsten, 74, and estranged wife Gabi Grecko, 28, have reconciled after an ‘intense reunion’ and the couple plan to tie the knot in a second wedding in New York.
The medical entrepreneur told Daily Mail Australia on Monday that he has never been happier and the couple will make their reunion official in a vow renewal ceremony.

He also hit back at recent claims made by his ex-wife Brynne Edelsten, 34, after she said Geoffrey’s reconciliation with Gabi is just a ‘joke.’
‘Brynne misconstrued my comments to her questions about Gabi,’ he told the Daily Mail Australia.
In Geoffrey’s own words their union came about after they made ‘intense contact’ again and decided they both wanted to be together.
‘It has got more intense over the past few weeks until present time,’ he said.

Brynne asked her ex-partner if the news about him and Gabi came as a surprise to which he replied ‘big surprise.’
Brynne spent five years married to Geoffrey before citing her husband’s ‘dalliances’ with another woman as the reason the pair split in 2014, claims which Geoffrey denies.
They still ‘speak or text’ occasionally because there are ‘ongoing court proceedings’ between the pair, she claims.
