Ivan Soldo and Chelsea Becirevic take huge step in their relationship amid split rumours

AFL star Ivan Sodlo and his partner Chelsea Becirevic have been plagued by split rumours recently.

Now, though, they've put that speculation to bed, announcing they've decided to take a huge step in their relationship.

Becirevic recently posted a video to her Instagram Story of Soldo carrying her through the doorway of their very first home together.

"First home together feels," she captioned the clip, which also showed the happy couple dancing in the backyard of their new house.

The news comes months after the couple was hit with scrutiny due to Soldo's request to be traded by Port Adelaide, just one year into his three-year contract.

Reports suggested Becirevic was the driving force behind the request.

The 24-year-old influencer had just left Adelaide to become a flight attendant with Emirates in Dubai, with sources reporting she had struggled to adjust to life in the South Australian capital.

However, after a short few months in Dubai with the couple doing long-distance, Becirevic left her job as an air hostess to return to Soldo in Adelaide.

At the time of her partner's transfer request, she took to Instagram to hit back at claims she was the reason behind the controversial move.

"I'm honestly fed up with the ridiculous narrative that keeps circulating. I've stayed silent for far too long, but it's time to set the record straight," she shared on the social media platform.

"Somehow I've become the centre of attention for a trade that has nothing to do with me. I genuinely don't understand where this information is coming from.

"Not that it's anyone business but, I moved back from Dubai to support my boyfriend, and somehow I find myself being dragged through the media," she added.

"It's disappointing to see the same old story – where the girls gets blamed for everything."

Now, it seems the couple are sailing on smoother waters, with Soldo declaring he now has "no intentions of leaving" Port Adelaide, and Becirevic returning to the City of Churches to enjoy their new home together.

However, when it comes to their long-term living situation, Becirevic shared that she doesn't have her sights set on Adelaide.

In an Instagram story Q&A, Becirevic said that living in Adelaide "is just not permanently for me," adding that she hopes to eventually move on to one of Australia's bigger cities.

The influencer said she has her sights eventually set on Melbourne, Sydney or the Gold Coast.
