As a dedicated follower of these extraordinary individuals, I find myself deeply moved by the resilience and fortitude demonstrated by Stella Klim, Michael Klim, and their family. Their recent experiences, from the vibrant beauty of Bali to the challenges faced at home, paint a picture of a family bound together by love, strength, and unwavering determination.


On Thursday, Stella Klim, who hails from the Balinese royal family, appeared to mirror her Indonesian princess mother Lindy as they both left a hotel in Bondi.

18-year-old model walked out alongside her ex-Olympic Gold medalist dad, Michael Klim, and his partner Michelle Owen following their visit to the popular travel spot.

Instead of going for a vibrant ensemble, Stella chose a cozy, single-toned outfit by slipping into a pair of black leggings and a hoodie before running her errand at the checkout.

She matched a relaxed outfit with a pair of clean white sneakers and white socks, carrying a big black handbag across her shoulder.

As Stella assisted her father and his companion in packing their luggage, she chose to tie back her beautiful hair using a clip.

47-year-old swimming champion Michael was dressed similarly to his daughter, both sporting an all-black outfit consisting of a T-shirt and jeans, while carrying a backpack.

In the meantime, Michelle chose a black sweater and blue denims, while neatly pulling her dark hair back into a sleek ponytail.

The sighting comes just days after Michael revealed his biggest battle has been mental, not physical, as he grapples with a rare autoimmune disorder.

2020 saw him receiving a diagnosis of the long-term nerve condition Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), causing him to lose his ability to walk.

Over the past weekend, he shared with The Sunday Project that the mental resilience he cultivated as an athlete was a skill he needed to re-find in order to deal with his health issues.

He stated that most athletes are trained not only physically but also mentally to persevere. This mental fortitude has remained with him even after his athletic career.

He went on to say: “I’m working on becoming more attuned to my body and emotions, which has been incredibly beneficial for me.”

The most significant challenge for me was embracing my new persona, as many people still view me primarily as the swimming athlete. Previously, my physique provided me with considerable mental fortitude.

With the absence of physical abilities now, I must discover newfound mental fortitude to conquer my non-physical limitations.

As a die-hard enthusiast putting it in my own words, I’d express it like this: Over time, I’ve found myself increasingly cherishing every moment spent with my loved ones, particularly my precious daughter, Stella – the one I share with my former spouse, Lindy. Michael’s words resonate deeply with me.
