Ellidy Vlug, an Australian model, has claimed to get pregnant by retrieving sperm from his dead boyfriend?s body who is Winter Olympian Alex Pullin. Pullin, who won the World Snowboard Championship twice, died last July while spearfishing on Australia?s Gold Coast. He had been with his girlfriend Ellidy for eight years before his death. Hoping to have his child, Ellidy asked doctors to retrieve healthy sperm from his body and a year later, she has confirmed her pregnancy.
In an Instagram post, she announced that the baby is due in October and also revealed that the couple had been dreaming of a baby for years. She also showed off her baby bump in a series of stunning photos.
According to Queensland city law, sperm can be collected up to 36 hours after the death of a person.
?In the weeks after (his death) I had hoped to god that I was pregnant. I just prayed for this little miracle. Everyone knew we were trying so hard for a baby and had been trying for ages and were starting to talk about IVF. Luckily the days after ? we?re going to talk about sperm retrieval. Up until 36 hours, I think the legislation is in Queensland, you can actually retrieve sperm from a deceased?s person?s body. We were able to hustle ? Chumpy?s parents were in town, everyone was signing court documents, legal documents and dealing with the coroners and the lawyers and the doctors.
?It?s the most bittersweet thing in the world and it?s a complete emotional rollercoaster but this is my greatest gift. It didn?t unravel the way we planned, life is literally crazy, but we?re having our baby. It?s so unreal and so emotional,? Ellidy added.
