MCOBEAUTY FOUNDER SHELLEY SULLIVAN LOOKS STYLISH IN A FLORAL DRESS AS SHE BRAVES THE RAIN FOR DINNER IN SYDNEY FOLLOWING SHOCK MARRIAGE SPLIT FROM HUSBAND ANTHONY
Shelley Sullivan looked downcast as she stepped out for dinner in Sydney on Friday following her split from her accountant husband Anthony.
The multimillionaire founder of popular skincare brand MCoBeauty put on a stylish display in a floral dress as she was spotted leaving Mimi's restaurant in Coogee.
She completed her ensemble with a pair of black high heels and wore silver earrings.
Shelley took shelter from the rain underneath a black umbrella as she walked to her car after enjoying dinner.
The sighting comes after Shelley's estranged husband Anthony broke his silence in the wake of the couple's abrupt marriage breakdown last month and responded to rumours a third party was involved.
She and her accountant husband parted ways in May after an explosive argument.
The heated row prompted Anthony, 46, to leave for the United States, while his wife moved into the InterContinental in Double Bay. He is believed to be returning to Sydney soon.
'The stories circulating are incorrect, malicious and hurtful to our family,' Anthony said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia.
'Shelley and I have separated for our own private reasons and no third party is involved.'
Anthony is an accountant and CEO of Quantaco which provides financial services to companies in the hospitality trade.
Shelley, 50, is celebrated as one of Australia's most successful businesswomen.
She made her mark in the 1990s with her model and talent agency before launching her thriving 'masstige' beauty brand, ModelCo, in 2016.
The couple had known each other for years and were friends before they tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Point Piper in 2016.
'Our personal relationship grew out of our business partnership, leading to our marriage seven years ago – a marriage built on mutual love and respect,' Anthony said.
'We jointly own and run businesses across finance, technology, professional services and cosmetics.
'We remain close and are working through next steps.'
His statement comes one day after the couple's friend, Kristin Fisher, slammed rumours she was the 'other woman' behind the couple's split.
'This is absolutely not true,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
'I am so sick of being the clickbait in all of these stories and having to defend myself over something that I've got nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to do with.'
The Double Bay eyebrow queen doubled down on the false rumours, admitting she is romantically involved with somebody else.
'The truth is I've only been with one person of late,' Kristin said.
