Snezana Wood has privately marked her 46th birthday, days after her husband, Sam Wood, was denied bail after he was arrested and charged with domestic violence offences.
The mother of four turned 46 on October 10, and has kept a low profile since her husband’s arrest.
Wood, 46, was arrested in Noosa after the police were called to a property on Hastings Street on October 3, amid reports of domestic violence.
The former Bachelor, who resides in Victoria, was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting. He has denied the allegations.
Just days later, Snezana marked her 46th birthday, but she has maintained a notable silence.
Following his arrest earlier this month, fans have come across Wood’s birthday message to his wife in 2024.
“My beautiful wife had a birthday, my little brother runs a marathon, Life is great and crazy 💜💜,” he wrote on Instagram.
Snezana’s oldest daughter, Eve, has previously taken to social media to share her love for her mother on her birthday.
“To the most important person in my life, the strongest, the most beautiful, and hardest working woman I know. You’ll forever be the woman I look up to, and everything I hope to become,” she wrote about Snezana to mark her 45th birthday.
“Happy Birthday Mama ❤️ love you,” she added at the end of the post.
However, the family did not share any new public messages this year.
Sam Wood remains behind bars
Following his arrest, Snezana took to her Instagram stories with a statement that read; “The Wood family. This is a difficult time for all of us, we are working through this as a family and are thoroughly co-operating with the authorities.”
Wood, a former leading man of The Bachelor Australia, also shared the same post on his Instagram Stories.
He appeared via a video link at Maroochydore Magistrates Court on October 8, where he was denied bail.
Police prosecutor Jeannette Grigoris said that the police had been in contact with the complainant, who was “in support” of the charges. The court heard that the complainant also provided a video statement.
Per news.com.au, his lawyer, Mathew Cuskelly, said if he was granted bail, Wood would have immediately returned to Melbourne to receive mental health treatment, however his bid was denied.
Following the denial, Cuskelly added he would file a new application for Wood’s bail in the Supreme Court.
7News reported that the former fitness entrepreneur is being held in Brisbane Correctional Centre in Wacol.
