Former Home and Away actress Pia Whitesell has set pulses racing with her glamorous return to Australian shores this week, treating her followers to a series of sun-soaked posts from Sydney.
A Sunny Sydney Homecoming
The actress, who now resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Hollywood power agent Patrick Whitesell, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share her joy at being back in her home country. Her first post featured a breathtaking view of Gordon's Bay, showcasing pristine blue skies and serene ocean waters, captioned simply with a warm 'Hello again'.
Pia followed this with another snap that quickly captured attention, showing her walking along coastal rocks wearing a bikini top, denim shorts, and carrying an Olay tote bag. The 42-year-old has recently become an ambassador for the haircare brand, which she proudly represented during her Australian outing.
Candid Revelations and Bikini Confidence
The social media showcase continued as the actress shared a boomerang video of herself taking a dip in the ocean, her slender figure displayed in a tiny bikini that left little to the imagination. This display of body confidence comes after Pia recently surprised fans with remarkably honest answers about her weight and dress size.
Responding to a fan's question on Instagram Stories about her age, height, and weight, Pia revealed she stands at 5'10 (177.8cm) and doesn't own scales. She shocked followers by admitting she 'jump[s] around between three different sizes in jeans', presenting a refreshingly realistic perspective on body image.
From Soap Star to Hollywood Jet-Setter
Pia's career trajectory has been remarkable since her breakthrough role as Kat Chapman on Home and Away in 2014. Her personal life took a glamorous turn when she confirmed her relationship with Patrick Whitesell in December 2019.
The couple secretly married in 2021, prompting Pia's relocation to Los Angeles to join her powerful husband. Patrick serves as Executive Chairman of William Morris Endeavor, with an estimated net worth of USD $600 million and a client roster including Hollywood heavyweights like Ben Affleck and Hugh Jackman.
Interestingly, Patrick is the former husband of journalist Lauren Sánchez, who is now married to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. It remains unclear how long Pia plans to stay in Sydney before returning to her life in the United States.
