Brittany Hockley reveals she and footballer husband Ben Siegrist have no plans to live together yet despite getting married
Podcaster and radio star Brittany Hockley tied the knot with Swiss football player Ben Siegrist in Bali last month.
But the Bachelor alum, 37, has no plans just yet for the pair to actually live together.
The newlyweds have been together for three years and have been doing long distance due to their respective work commitments, with Siegrist residing in Scotland while Brittany lives in Australia.

In a new video, as she showed off her makeup routine while on her honeymoon, Brittany explained their unique living arrangements.
”Ben and I have been together nearly three years and we have never lived together,” she said as she answered a fan question about their relationship.
“Everyone is asking, ‘Are you going to live together now that we’re married?’ The answer is no,” she said.

Hockley said their decision to remain apart is “not by choice”.
“It’s not by choice as when we met, we both had signed different contracts, long-term contracts for our jobs… not to say we won’t live together one day.”
She added that she often gets some troll comments from followers over their living arrangements and defended their decision.
“I do find it quite frustrating, the sliding into my DMs, ‘We are never going to make it, we don’t even know each other’ – that’s a good one,” she said.
She said it might be unconventional, but it works for them.
“But just because it doesn’t look how certain people want it to look or how society wants it to look, but it looks pretty good to us.”
