Brynne Edelsten, the glamorous ex-wife of Australian businessman Geoffrey, has been declared bankrupt.

The 33-year-old reportedly owes up to $70,000 in unpaid legal bills to the same lawyers who represented her during her divorce to Geoffrey, 73.

According to public documents, an 'Affidavit of Service of Bankruptcy Notice' was filed by MGA Lawyers back in January.

The former fitness instructor-turned-socialite has spoken openly about her need to "cut back on her cost of her living dramatically" to deal with her financial troubles.

According to The Herald Sun, Brynne said she was living "on a budget" in a one-bedroom unit while waiting for a divorce settlement.

Brynne recently made headlines after photos emerged showing her sneaking into her unit with cricketing superstar Shane Warne.

Warnie ended up accusing Brynne of setting up the photos by "inviting" the paparazzi to her unit.

It was a claim Brynne vehemently denied, saying Warnie knew full well photographers were outside her place when they decided to head back for a "nightcap".
