Pip Edwards experienced a highly awkward situation on Wednesday evening when she found herself in the same lift as her former boyfriend Ben Azar, who is now married to fellow influencer Indy Clinton. The 46-year-old founder of P.E. Nation was photographed posing uncomfortably in a Sydney elevator alongside Indy, 28, and her husband Ben as they all made their way to an NRL match at Accor Stadium.
The unexpected meeting appeared to be embarrassing for everyone involved. Indy shared several photos of the moment on social media, capturing herself beaming in a lift mirror selfie while Ben and Pip deliberately looked away. She captioned the image with the telling words: "This feels illegal."
Fortunately, the trio seemed to quickly improve their mood as they then posed together for a lift selfie, which Indy cheerfully captioned: "Uno reverse." In one picture, Pip smiled brightly as she stood next to Indy, while Ben stood to the side hugging his five-year-old son, Navy, whom he shares with his wife. The group appeared to make the most of the situation, smiling despite the awkward encounter.
Background of the Relationships
In April last year, Pip's romantic history with realtor Ben Azar resurfaced, with rumors swirling that his current wife Indy Clinton cannot stand hearing her name. Ben and influencer Indy began dating in 2018 following his breakup with the P.E. Nation founder in 2017. There is speculation that Indy "blocks" anyone who mentions Pip on her social media accounts.
Influencer watchdog account Dutch Minty kicked off the chatter during a Q&A with Instagram followers who asked why Pip and Ben split in 2017 after almost two years of dating. "What was the deal with Pip Edwards and Big Ed?" one follower asked, referencing Ben's nickname. Dutch Minty responded: "They dated for a few years after her split from Dan Single. Indy doesn't like Ben's dating history mentioned and anyone that brings up Pip is blocked."
Timeline of Relationships
Pip and Ben began dating in 2016, eight years after her split from Ksubi designer Dan Single, with whom she shares her 19-year-old son, Justice Maximus. The fashion designer is believed to have split from Ben in mid-2017, as she last posted about him that July. At the time, the pair were enjoying a holiday in the US and Mexico with her son Justice.
Meanwhile, Indy and Ben met and began dating in 2018. They got married two years later in 2020 and welcomed three children together in the following years: Navy, Bambi (three), and Soul (two).
