‘A friend has to step in and console her,’ they added.
Earlier Bec was seen to be getting very animated with a fellow racegoer during the festivities.

The high-profile couple are proud parents to three children, daughters Mia, 11, Ava, seven, and son Cruz, eight.
They have long been the subject of split rumours, with Woman’s Day reporting last month that the pair are ‘leading separate lives.’
