Lindy Klim publicly criticized her ex-husband, Olympic swimmer Michael Klim, stating he opted to vacation in Bali rather than be with their children during their school break.
A 46-year-old Balinese woman recently posted on Instagram saying she had to look after her three children because their father, 48, didn’t collect them as arranged.
Lindy started explaining that she hadn’t intended to have the children during school break, but their father unexpectedly went to Bali instead of taking them as planned, leaving her with them.
I didn’t make any elaborate plans beforehand, as I wasn’t sure what would happen, but my time in Melbourne ended up being really relaxing and fun. We also celebrated a few important moments while we were there.
Rocco recently reached some milestones – he got his driver’s license, bought his first car, finished swimming lessons, and started coaching. Meanwhile, my friends and I had a relaxing time in the countryside and enjoyed experiencing all types of weather Melbourne had to offer, staying comfortable with lots of home-cooked meals.
Lindy posted a photo album of her with her three kids and explained in the caption that her ex, Michael, invited them to join him on a trip to Bali, but they decided to stay home in Melbourne instead.
They were invited, but preferred to remain in Australia. Lindy explained the real issue was that he went on the trip despite it being a period he usually spends with his children.
‘Imagine the luxury of just doing what you want.’
Daily Mail has approached Michael Klim for comment.
Lindy also spoke about the financial pressures of entertaining children during this time.
Holidays really add up financially. Between keeping the kitchen running around the clock and the mountains of laundry, it’s a huge strain. I’ve had to cancel trips or put myself deep into debt just to be able to take the kids away with me – it’s been crazy.
The Olympic gold medallist married Lindy in April 2006 before parting ways in February 2016.
They share three children: Stella, 19, Rocco, 17, and Frankie, 14.
Lindy is currently engaged to her partner Paul Mullert and Michael to his fiancée Michelle Owen.
For fourteen years, she called Bali home – it was where her father came from. Last year, she moved back to Australia with her kids.
Lindy introduced her new partner at a LIV Golf tournament in Adelaide last February, not long after unexpectedly ending her marriage to Adam Ellis, her daughter Goldie’s father. Goldie is eight years old.
The Aussie socialite previously confirmed to Daily Mail she is dating businessman Paul.
Lindy described him as a genuinely good person. They’ve been dating casually for several months, enjoying getting to know each other without rushing things. She added that he’s starting to get a glimpse into her life.
Paul was born and raised in Perth and was a childhood friend of the late Aussie actor Heath Ledger.
Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe how they met! Apparently, Paul’s sister lives in Bali and she totally set them up – she was like, ‘You HAVE to go on a date with my brother!’ And now they’re back in Melbourne and it’s just…amazing! I’m seriously living for this love story. It’s so cute and unexpected!
