Pip Edwards has made a swift recovery after being hospitalized due to an unspecified illness. The Australian fashion designer was seen enjoying a day at Nielsen Park in Sydney on January 6, just a day after her brief hospital stay, which left fans concerned about her health.
The 45-year-old entrepreneur, known for her active lifestyle and fitness brand, was spotted wearing a bandage on her arm and a hospital tag on her wrist. Despite the recent health scare, she looked relaxed as she donned a black bikini, complemented by a brown printed sarong, sunglasses, and a baseball cap.
Earlier in the day, Edwards was seen shopping for sunglasses with two male friends, further indicating her return to normalcy. The outing came shortly after she shared a photo from her hospital bed on social media, stating, “Five days into 2026 and it’s already giving clinical realism. Gotta love a plot twist.” This post included an image of a friend visiting her, which she described as “the best kind of visits.”
Edwards’ hospitalization occurred just days after she celebrated New Year’s Eve with her close friend, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson. The two enjoyed a festive gathering at a mansion overlooking Sydney Harbour, followed by a lunch together on New Year’s Day.
This recent health incident has prompted Edwards to take a temporary break from her professional commitments. She has announced plans to prioritize her well-being after experiencing trauma during a violent incident near Bondi Beach last month. During a Hanukkah celebration, at least 15 people lost their lives when two gunmen opened fire, forcing Edwards to seek shelter under a van, an experience she later described as “the most traumatic day of her life.” Sources close to Edwards indicate that she is focused on her recovery following this shocking event.
In light of these recent challenges, Edwards has decided to step back from her role as creative director at Ksubi. She had only recently returned to the brand in September 2024, a move she described as a “full-circle moment,” given her previous work with the label and her connection to its co-founder, Dan Single, with whom she shares her teenage son, Justice.
As she continues to recover and reflect on her priorities, Edwards is embracing the support of friends and the community, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.
