But death and loss is a big thing for me please stop the (bullshit).”Ms Grecko, who has started referring to herself as “Widow FoxX”, took to Instagram later on Friday to post photos of her in a Carlton guernsey. “The one thing he was the MOST passionate about was the Carlton footy team,” the Instagram post read. “We went ever week, watched every game and I have this (guernsey) still.”Edelsten’s former wife said in the comments section that posting pictures of Edelsten helped her to grieve.“It’s not for attention,” she said.Ms Grecko posted a comment from a follower earlier this week, which claimed that Edelsten “intends to leave (Grecko) something in his last will”.“(Edelsten) told me that Gabi is the only woman that he has ever loved and that he can never love another woman,” the commenter said.Edelsten and Ms Grecko wed in June 2015 in a low-key registry service in the back of a North Melbourne shop.
