It’s dusk over the beach at the beautiful Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay, Bali, and a couple cuddle in a hammock against the setting sun. With its gorgeous tropical gardens and private villas hidden behind high stone walls, the resort is a favoured location for honeymooners and this couple are clearly besotted with each other.
Australians may have some mixed emotions about Bali right now, but for Jennifer Hawkins, 21, who has just relinquished her Miss Universe crown, and her boyfriend, Jake Wall, 22, it’s the magic island where they rekindled their romance after a year of it being unavoidably put on hold.
When Jennifer, from Newcastle, NSW, stunned everyone by coming from nowhere to win the Miss Universe title in May 2004, she had no idea what it would mean for her life and her fledgling relationship with carpenter-turned-model Jake Wall, whom she had met at the Newcastle club, Fannys, only 10 months before.
For a start, the title meant that she had to immediately take up residence with Miss USA and Miss Teen USA in an apartment in ritzy Trump Place in New York City.
Gorgeous photos, and their romantic reunion in the July 2005 issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly.
