ontheSydneysocialscene,

but since dating Michael

Pip Edwards has catapulted

into the mainstream –

and ensured even more

exposure for her fashion

business P E Nation.

“She’s been obsessed

with fame ever since she

had a taste of it dating

Ksubi founder Dan Single,”

a friend tells Woman’s Day.

“And when they broke

up, it went away. Now

she’s with Michael, she’s

never had more exposure

and she’s making the

most of it.”

Most recently, Pip, 40,

accompanied Michael to

anOrderofAustralia

eventwherehewas

presented with the

prestigious award for

his contribution to sport

  designer who was the
  centre of attention.
  In one telling photo
  posted on social media,

  Michael with the caption,
  “It’s your night tonight,
  lover.” In another pic,

DAD

BIRTHDAY

EXTRAVAGANZA

AMAZING

with this
woman in
Michael’s life trying
to be more popular with
her child than her own mum!”
Interestingly, the source
insists Kyly’s growing “parent
war” over Kelsey Lee is said to
have caused tension between
her and James.
“She really put the pressure
on him to step up and be a

potential

stepdad to little

Kelsey Lee. It was like Kyly

was auditioning James,”

reveals the source, who says

James often had his hands

full with his two children,

Zara and Cadel, who he

shares with his former wife

Carys Courtney.

Insiders say

Pip is getting a

lot of publicity

thanks to her

relationship

with Michael.
