Skye Wheatley, a name familiar to many for her stint on Big Brother Australia in 2014 and her subsequent rise as a prominent social media influencer, has taken her vivacious personality into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia 2024.
Known for her genuine and straightforward nature, Skye re-enters the reality TV world 10 years later in a more unique and challenging environment.
When was Skye Wheatley on Big Brother?
Skye’s early claim to fame came in 2014 when she appeared on Big Brother Australia. As a young and vivacious contestant, she quickly became a fan favourite, finishing in third place.
This platform served as a launching pad for her career in the digital space, where she has since cultivated a significant following by sharing insights into her life, opinions, and ventures.
Her transparency and relatability have been key to her success, allowing her to build a strong and engaged community of followers.
Who is Skye Wheatley dating?
Beyond her professional achievements, Skye has also been open about her personal life, including her relationship with Lachlan Waugh.
The couple’s relationship has been a significant aspect of Skye’s public persona, providing her followers with a glimpse into her life beyond the camera.
Together, they share two sons, Forest and Bear, whose births Skye has candidly documented and shared with her audience, highlighting both the joys and challenges of motherhood.
In January of 2023, Skye took to her Instagram to share that she and her partner of six years had encountered a brief split and were “co-parenting”.
This split was brief however, with the social media personality revealing: “Obviously, I don’t think he liked it. We like being together as a family. But I feel like for us, we just needed a break. Just a little break.”
“I didn’t want to be away from the kids for as long as we were away from each other. So we just co-parented for the period of the break. Hopefully that makes sense.”
Earlier this year, she shared that the pair took part in couples’ counselling, which she “loved”.
Skye Wheatley on being an influencer
Despite being labelled the “Mega Influencer”, an interview with 10 prior to entering the jungle, Skye shared her disdain for the ‘influencer’ label.
“I hate the term influencer. And they do have a bad rep! Most of them are a***holes. Literally, I can’t deal,” she said.
In spite of this, the 30-year-old remains a well-liked social media personality, having amassed over 600 000 followers on Instagram alone. Recently, she has branched out into other ventures include selling fitness plans and launching a workout clothing brand called Good People Apparel with fellow public figure Tori de Jong.
