The reality TV bride, 51, was left heartbroken on Tuesday night when husband Steve Powell, 50, declared their relationship over.
And the heartbreak was written all over Rebecca's face as she hit the Sydney streets for a spot of shopping.
In fact, while she hid her eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses, onlookers told Daily Mail that the Melbourne-based leasing manager was in tears as she strolled by.
Despite her sullen demeanour, Rebecca cut quite a colourful figure in a silky long-sleeve blouse.

A marble art-style pattern in orange, fuchsia, yellow, and grey hues, gave Rebecca a sunny, relaxed vibe.

She also wore a pair of cream-coloured sweatpants.
Rebecca finished her look with a pair of $366 Maje strappy slingback denim sandals.
While Rebecca looked very much in need of a kind shoulder as she walked, her spirits seemed to lift as she arrived at a local supermarket.

She appeared to run into an acquaintance, and as she chatted with her pal, Rebecca could be seen beaming broadly.
It comes after Steve unceremoniously called time on his relationship with Rebecca on Tuesday night, but not before a fiery clash with expert Alessandra Rampolla.
The confrontation started when the grooms were discussing the racy intimacy week challenges set by their brides.
Steve explained to the group that Rebecca had opted not to wear the sexy lingerie she had purchased out of respect for his conservative sensibilities.
He then made the bizarre claim that his reluctance to take part in the racy challenge had actually strengthened their relationship.

'She chose not to dress up and make me uncomfortable,' he said.
'It actually bonded us... she brought us closer by not doing that.'

Backflipping on his earlier claim, Steve then admitted that after the challenge, the pair had an argument, off camera, that led to him spending the night in another bed.
He also admitted to questioning Rebecca's motives for being in the experiment.
'Rebecca was saying the only reason she is here is to find love and I kind of called her out on that because I'm sure there's other reasons she's here also,' Steve said.
Steve then, to the shock of the assembled grooms, questioned Alessandra's credibility.
'I don't have an earpiece in my ear. I'm not waiting for someone to tell me what to say,' he said.

When she replied that nobody was feeding her lines through an earpiece, Steve shot back a cynical laugh.

'Honestly the lack of respect that you're showing me as somebody who's here to help guide you is appalling,' she said. 'Really tread lightly. I don't take to this well.'

Things went from bad to worse for Steve after he arrived back at the hotel room for another confrontation with Rebecca.
She accused Steve of not making an effort in the relationship and displaying little accountability.
Steve said he wasn't interested in taking part in what he described as 'soft porn' in a bid to be more intimate with Rebecca, which his bride slammed as laughable.
That proved to be the last straw for the couple, with Steve packing a bag and leaving his betrothed – but not before taking a cruel dig at Rebecca.
'At least you get to be yourself now and you can give them the TV gold that you've been holding back on, yeah?' he said. 'So, go for it.'

Rebecca was no less scathing in her parting assessment of Steve.
'He would have to be the weakest man I've ever met in my entire life,' she told producers.
