Eastern Suburbs ‘Pilates Queen’ Bernadette Sukkar (née Fahey) has shared a heartbreaking detail about her life in an article about having a deep connection to death.
Bernadette, 35, who has her own successful wellness business Body by Berner and recently tied the knot with Buildcorp COO Jordan Sukkar in a star-studded wedding, revealed her father died two weeks before she was born.
In an article for the Financial Review, she explained he passed away after a battle with lung cancer while her mother was pregnant with her.
‘My father passed away two weeks before I was born, so death has always been something I’ve been deeply aware of,’ she wrote.
‘My father had a stethoscope that I used to love playing with.
‘Looking back now, it’s interesting that I was drawn to it, especially since he ultimately passed away from lung cancer. It feels like a poignant connection.’
