Brynne made the shocking confession in a 2016 interview with Herald Sun reporter Fiona Byrne, which went unpublished until after Geoffrey’s death.“We never had a sexual relationship at all,’’ Brynne said at the time, insisting that she had loved Geoffrey but that their marriage failed due to his addiction to online dating sites.Colourful business identity Edelsten died last Friday aged 78. While he was a GP and a former owner of the Sydney Swans football club, in recent years Edelsten was best known for his two turbulent, headline-making marriages with Brynne Gordon, 40 years his junior and with Gabi Grecko, 46 years younger than him.Gordon, a fitness instructor who changed her name to Edelsten after they married in 2009, was a socialite who regularly appeared in Australia’s gossip pages.Contacted for comment on Friday evening, her agent told news.com.au: “It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of Dr Geoffrey Edelsten today.“On behalf of Ms Brynne Edelsten, we send our deepest and sincerest condolences.“Brynne and Geoffrey enjoyed some truly beautiful moments, including their wedding which saw Brynne call Australia home since their wedding back in 2009.“While their marriage ended after five years together, Brynne remains grateful for the good times the couple had shared together and is deeply saddened and shocked to hear the news of his passing.”Brynne, who was 25 when she met Edelsten on a blind date in Las Vegas, married the multi-millionaire in style. Their lavish wedding on November 29, 2009 would be spoken about for years to come.The pair, who had a 41-year age gap, raised eyebrows with their jaw-droppingly lavish nuptials which cost a staggering $3.3 million at Melbourne’s Crown Casino.In an interview with Stellar magazine, Brynne said she never married for money.“Money is nice. Nobody is going to turn money down. But it was never about that. Believe it or not, Geoff can be very, very nice,” she said of the Melbourne-based businessman.Brynne was last month arrested and charged with possession and trafficking of the drug ice but claims she will fight the charges “vigorously”.Police said the raid, which was part of an ongoing investigation, led to the seizure of “what is believed to be magic mushrooms, methylamphetamine, prescription drugs and an allegedly stolen electric bike”.She was granted bail and will appear before Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on October 8.She told news.com.au she was “shocked and saddened by these events”.“Earlier this month, I was charged with criminal charges. I am shocked and saddened by these events and will be vigorously fighting all charges,” she said.“I am very thankful for the support of the team around me and will not be making any further comment.”
