Sophie Guidolin's son, 15, denies Snapchat posts about estrangement, being ... trends now

The 15-year-old son of influencer Sophie Guidolin has revealed his Snapchat account was hacked by a troll who shared false and malicious gossip about his mother.

A post purporting to be from Kai Guidolin's account was widely shared on a gossip forum this week. In it, the account responded to a question from one of his followers about why he had recently spent several months living apart from his mother.

Gold Coast-based Sophie, 34, has acknowledged her son spent time living with her parents in South Australia while their family was going though 'a hard time' - including her giving birth to a stillborn daughter and splitting from her husband Dr Andrew Firgaira after just four months of marriage.

The post on Kai's Snapchat read: 'Long story short, she married a guy I hated... [I] had two options: streets or rehab in Northern Territory.

'Was homeless for one to two months [and] heading down [the] wrong path. Chose to move to Streaky for [a] fresh start.' 

The post was likely referring to Streaky Bay, a coastal town on the western side of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, where Sophie's parents live.

The post concluded: 'My mum and I have reconnect[ed] and we are in a good place.'

After Daily Mail Australia contacted Sophie's representatives for comment on Monday, her manager directed us to a post Kai shared on Instagram last week in which he clarified his Snapchat had been hacked.

He said it was an 'old' profile he no longer used that had been hacked by someone 'making up rumours' and 'saying all my personal stuff'.

'To everyone saying this is me, it's my old account that got hacked on Snapchat and saying all my personal stuff on my Instagram [and] making up rumours,' Kai said.

'We were perfectly fine as I was actually living with my grandparents,' he added.

'I'm sick of Instagram and trolls taking stuff out on my mum. She has done nothing wrong.'

It comes two weeks after Sophie's husband Dr Andrew Firgaira, who was briefly Kai's stepfather, confirmed the couple's split just four months after their dream wedding.

The dentist said he was 'not willing' to discuss the reasons for the break-up, which came after Sophie gave birth to a stillborn baby while he was on holiday in Europe with his daughters from a previous relationship.

'In order to remove the constant speculation I'll answer this once by saying we are no longer together,' he wrote in a comment on his own Instagram post.

'I have my reasons why and I'm not prepared to discuss this matter any further.'

He stressed he 'wants people to refrain' from commenting on the relationship as 'nothing positive can come from discussing it further'.

Days later, Sophie claimed on Instagram that - contrary to rumours doing the rounds online - she was the one who 'left' her husband, not the other way around.
