Friends of Bridgett Roccisano are speaking out after her shock split from husband Joshua Cavallaro, just months after they welcomed a child together.
The Booby Tape co-founder, 34, stunned Melbourne high society last week when she announced the end of her two-year marriage.
The separation was particularly unexpected as Bridgett and Joshua are parents to a baby girl named Elle, who was only born in April.
Daily Mail can now exclusively reveal that Bridgett is telling close confidants she is ‘heartbroken’ and feels ‘totally blindsided’.
‘It’s not what she wanted. She’s absolutely devastated,’ says our source.

Bridgett, whose breast tape brand is stocked in more than 40 countries worldwide, took to social media last Monday to confirm news reports she had separated from Joshua.
‘I’ve always chosen to be open and honest with you all and with recent articles and speculation surrounding my marriage, I felt it was important to address this with you all,’ she wrote.
‘I am saddened to confirm I am going through a separation.
‘This year has brought more change than I could have ever imagined. Becoming a mother has been the most profound and beautiful gift of my life.
‘While I am devastated and disappointed the journey hasn’t unfolded the way I envisioned, as family is everything to me, I’ve discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed for both my daughter and I.
‘Elle and I may be walking a different path now, but it’s one filled with support and most importantly, stability and love.’
She concluded: ‘While I wish I could share more about this extremely difficult time, I need to protect Elle, especially knowing my daughter may read this one day.
‘I hope you can understand and respect our privacy during this incredibly challenging time.’
