Scherri-Lee got her big break by winning Miss Universe Australia 2011, just one year after Jesinta was crowned the 2010 winner.

From there, the pair both ventured off into media careers.

Jesinta became a fashion and entertainment reporter for Channel Seven’s The Morning Show, while Scherri-Lee worked for the network in Melbourne doing sport and travel.

Scherri-Lee continued her broadcasting career by relocating home to Perth in 2014 to take up a role as a weather presenter and reporter.

Meanwhile, Jesinta continued to focus on her modelling career and was able to raise her profile by dating Sydney Swans star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin. 

Scherri-Lee is no stranger to dating footy players either, having been in a relationship with West Coast Eagles player Brad Sheppard for roughly 18 months.

Unfortunately, the former couple split in late 2019, with Brad moving on with brunette beauty Ellen Taylor-Hawkins.

In 2011, Jesinta starred on the first season of The Celebrity Apprentice, where she made it to third place.

In recent years, her modelling career has skyrocketed thanks to her sizeable Instagram following and star status as a leading WAG.

She spent around two years as an ambassador for David Jones, before being dumped by the department store in 2017.

Shortly after, Jesinta took a swipe at the retail giant and said she was happy to be working with more high end brands.

‘I don’t know if department stores have the budget anymore, to be quite frank,’ she told the Daily Telegraph in 2018, implying that David Jones may not be able to afford her.

‘It’s nice not being boxed into one little department store. I’m really happy being able to work alongside the likes of Harrolds and wear the best of the best,’ she added.

After slumming it with department stores and brands like Cadbury, Jesinta reinvented her image and was able to snag endorsement deals with the likes of Dior and Tiffany & Co.

However, judging by her Instagram page, Jesinta now seems to be working with Myer.
