Speaking to Sunday Life last year about her life in Australia with Dingwall, Chisholm reflected on her changing priorities. “I’m a workaholic. Last year, when I met my boyfriend, I decided that my life was truly incredible. My job allows me to travel and I love what I do. It used to be all work and not a lot of fun. I’m changing that,” she said.She also expresses her connection to Australia’s coastal lifestyle. “Bondi is the health capital of Australia, if not the world. Being Sports Spice feels like I’ve found my spiritual home. It’s a very natural place for me,” she explains.
