Former WAG Abby Gilmore takes a swipe at her ex-boyfriend Jake Stringer

She split with Essendon player Jake Stringer in 2016 in acrimonious circumstances.

And Abby Gilmore took to Instagram during Monday night’s Brownlow Medal to remind her followers that she was once one of the sparking WAGs on the red carpet.

The blogger, who shares two children with Jake, posted a photo taken at the 2015 ceremony – but raised eyebrows by conspicuously cropping out her ex-boyfriend.

‘Just your yearly reminder that I was fortunate enough to attend once’: Former WAG Abby Gilmore took a swipe at her ex-boyfriend Jake Stringer on Monday by cropping him out of their 2015 Brownlow Medal photo on Instagram

It was a rather unusual decision as Abby could have simply posted one of the many solo photos that were taken of her on the red carpet that night.

Instead, she shared a picture of the couple but obscured Jake completely behind a vertical black bar down the left side, with only a small portion of his tuxedo visible.

She captioned the edited photo: ‘Just your yearly reminder that I was fortunate enough to attend [the Brownlows] once.

‘I walked in matching the tablecloths and never got to redeem myself ever again. Everyone tonight looks SO HOT! It’s next level.

‘I was also in New Idea’s worst dressed, so yeah happy Brownlow.’ 

High school sweethearts Abby, 25, and Jake, 24, ended their relationship in 2016 and later became embroiled in a public feud.

The former couple share custody of their two children: Arlo and Milla.

Abby has since built a lucrative social media brand around life as a ‘former WAG’ and runs self-improvement workshops for women.

Jake spoke to Fox Footy in April about overcoming a tumultuous period of his life following his split with Abby. 

‘I’m really happy with where I’m at with my life. My kids have played a massive part in that, and my mum and dad, and Taylor [McVeigh, his girlfriend].’
