Sophie Guidolin goes for a walk with Crossfit athlete after split from husband Dr Andrew Firgaira

Popular fitness influencer Sophie Guidolin has been seen in public for the first time since her shock split from her husband Dr Andrew Firgaira. 

The couple’s marriage fell apart after the mother-of-four gave birth to a stillborn child in January.

Dr Firgaira, a high-profile Gold Coast dentist, confirmed the couple’s split earlier this month, following weeks of rumours they had quietly ended their marriage just four months after their dream wedding. 

Over the weekend, Guidolin, 34, enjoyed some fresh air and light exercise with  Crossfit athlete James Newbury at Cabarita Beach, NSW, close to her home in Kingscliff.

The pair appeared to be having an animated conversation as they strolled around a beachside park.

Makeup free, Guidolin wore a crop top and tiny matching shorts for the outing and tied her hair back into a neat ponytail.

After their walk, they got into a SUV and drove off.

Guidolin and Newbury have a lot in common.

He is a 4-time Crossfit Games athlete and 4-time Australia’s Fittest Man after retiring from professional rugby.

He also competes in triathlons, Ironman competition and powerlifting.

Meanwhile, Guidolin is a fitness model, qualified trainer and nutritionist.

Last week, the mother-of-four broke her silence on her split from Dr Firgaira, just days after he announced their separation.

In a series of Instagram comments, Guidolin claimed that – contrary to rumours doing the rounds online – she was the one who ‘left’ her husband, not the other way around. 

She opened up about her failed marriage on her 34th birthday, after posting a gallery of photos with her teenage son Kai, with whom she recently reunited after he spent several months living with her parents in Adelaide while they were going though ‘a hard time in our lives’.

Guidolin said being back with Kai, who had reportedly not attended her wedding to Dr Firgaira, was ‘the silver lining’ after a nightmare year.

‘The silver lining,’ she wrote in the caption, referring to her eldest son. 

‘Gratitude times a million to have you back in my arms. I will do everything in my power to never let anyone or anything ever come between our bond.

‘Thirty-three… Nothing on earth could have prepared me for the year that was. Here’s to redoing 33 #family #love #Kai.’

One of her followers asked in the comments section, ‘Where’s your hubby?’ to which Guidolin replied, ‘I left him.’

Another fan said, ‘Here’s to a better year ahead. Happiest birthday,’ and the self-styled nutritionist responded, ‘[It] can’t be worse than the last.’

‘Sounds like your heart was broken twice this last year, [but] you’re still standing, strong and brave, surrounded by so much love,’ they wrote.

‘Heartbreak is hard, losing a baby is hard. I’ve lost two as well and nothing makes you mentally stronger.’

The dentist said he was ‘not willing’ to discuss the reasons for the split, which came after Guidolin gave birth to a stillborn baby while he was on holiday in Europe with his daughters from a previous relationship.

‘In order to remove the constant speculation I’ll answer this once by saying we are no longer together,’ he wrote in a comment on his own post.

‘I have my reasons why and I’m not prepared to discuss this matter any further.’

He stressed he ‘wants people to refrain’ from commenting on the relationship as ‘nothing positive can come from discussing it further’.

Photos of Guidolin and Dr Firgaira at their wedding were deleted, as well as their engagement post and a photo announcing Guidolin’s pregnancy over Christmas last year.

Rumours about the couple’s marriage had been swirling for months, after fans noticed the model had stopped posting photos of Dr Firgaira on social media.

Last month, Guidolin added more fuel to the fire by uploading a cryptic Instagram post hinting at heartbreak.

She said she was going through a ‘rough patch’ and stressed the importance of ‘human connection’ despite her desire to ‘recharge her batteries alone’.

She then alluded to her need for ‘closure’ after a difficult time, writing: ‘Forgiveness is key, but some things are unforgivable and closure is the choice.’

Guidolin announced her engagement to Dr Firgaira in June 2022, just over two years after splitting from Married At First Sight star Jake Edwards in May 2020. 

The couple tied the knot in November, before announcing a month later they were expecting their first child together.

Guidolin, who has four children from a previous relationship, encountered serious health problems during her fifth pregnancy.

In January, she told fans she had been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness.

While recovering from the condition in hospital, Guidolin shared a post complaining about how lonely she felt without Dr Firgaira by her side.

When quizzed by fans where her husband was, she said he was overseas on a long-promised European holiday with his two daughters.

Guidolin announced in late January her fifth child, and first with Dr Firgaira, a girl named Pixie, was stillborn.

‘I cannot begin to articulate my pain, grief and despair through my entire soul,’ she wrote in an emotional Instagram post, revealing she underwent a C-section.

‘I am trying to trust in God’s timing and I have always believed that the universe has my back and no matter how confusing this all feels, I am trying to make sense of this grief with my faith.

‘I feel so guilty for my thoughts prior and I would do anything to have that pain, over this harrowing experience. I don’t even have the words on how to write or how to comprehend this. Maybe some souls were always meant to be angels.’
