Stella Klim, 18, looks the spitting image of her Indonesian princess mother Lindy as the model heads out with Olympic dad Michael Klim and his girlfriend Michelle Owen
Balinese royalty Stella Klim looked the spitting image of her Indonesian mother Lindy as she was spotted checking out of a hotel in Bondi on Thursday.
The 18-year-old model stepped out with her father, former Olympic gold medalist Michael Klim, and his girlfriend Michelle Owen after their stay in the tourist destination.
Stella opted for a comfortable monochrome look, wearing black leggings and a hoodie to the checkout.
She teamed the casual ensemble with a pair of sleek white sneakers and white socks, and she slung a large black bag over her shoulder.
Stella helped her father and his partner load their suitcases and decided to show off her genetically blessed looks by tying her hair back and securing it with a clip.
Swimming champion Michael, 47, like his daughter, wore an all-black outfit of a T-shirt and jeans, carrying a backpack.
Meanwhile, friend Michelle wore a black sweater and blue jeans, with her dark locks combed into a sleek ponytail.
The sighting comes just days after Michael revealed his biggest struggle is mental, not physical, as he battles a rare autoimmune disease.

In 2020, he was diagnosed with the neurological condition chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), which left him unable to walk.
Last weekend, he told The Sunday Project that he had to rediscover the “mental toughness” he had as an athlete to cope with his physical ailments.
“Almost all athletes learn physically, mentally you continue. Even after sports, I’ve adopted that same mindset,” he said.

He continued: ‘I’m still learning to be more vulnerable and listen to my body and emotions better. That has helped me a lot.
“The biggest thing I had to overcome was accepting the new identity. I’m still the swimmer in the eyes of many people. And I relied on my physical condition to make me mentally strong.
‘Now that I am physically unable to do this anymore, I have to find other mental strength to overcome the physical limitations.’
Michael went on to say that as his illness progressed, he increasingly valued time with his family, especially his daughter Stella, whom he has with his ex-wife Lindy.
