In news that should surprise no one, things are getting heated between married-but-soon-to-be-divorced couple Geoffrey Edelsten and Gabi Grecko.
The 72-year-old bazillionaire is claiming that 26-year-old model Gabi faked her pregnancy with his unborn child, which she reportedly miscarried just over a week later due to a nasty fall down a staircase. “I’m done. We’re divorcing. The whole pregnancy thing was false,” he told Daily Mail Australia as he was boarding a flight home from New York, where he says Gabi will now live.
Amidst rumours from the public that the pregnancy announcement was a cry for publicity, due partly to an image of a positive pregnancy test taken from Google, Gabi insisted at the time, “I would never do this for a stunt, that’s a horrible thing to say.”

Geoffrey stood by her throughout the pregnancy and hospital stay after the fall, but is now saying that it was all made up. “The whole thing was completely fabricated to get attention from me after we had a fight,” he said. “She put images of a fake pregnancy test on her social media and insisted we were having a child and against my better judgement I agreed to go along with it. I now regret that wholeheartedly.”
“Her state of mind is that she needs more psychiatric help which she is receiving in New York,” he added.
Gabi, on the other hand, is standing by her story and refuting his claims, saying, “That’s not true! He is just trying to do everything he can to make people hate me because he can’t take rejection.”

Just earlier today, Gabi wrote on her Instagram, “Help. Need advice Geoff is saying anything he can to make me look horrible making up terrible things and telling them to the media I’m trying to move on and he won’t stop making comments about me is starting to affect me [sic].”
It’s a shame, really. It feels like only yesterday that these two were exchanging vows. Oh wait…
