Ellidy Pullin, the widow of Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin, has given birth to their daughter 15 months after the Australian Olympic snowboarder died in a spearfishing accident. The baby has been named Minnie Alex Pullin, Ellidy Pullin announced on Instagram.
Alex Pullin, a two-time world champion snowboarder, was 32 when he was killed in the fishing accident off the Gold Coast of Australia in July 2020.
The couple's baby was conceived via IVF or in vitro fertilisation. "We did that sperm retrieval process, of course, because Chump passed away, to get his sperm. The doctor did hand select the best viable sperm out of the millions and popped it straight into the egg," Ellidy Pullin was quoted as saying by CNN.
The baby girl was born on October 25, Ellidy revealed in her Instagram post shared Thursday.
