Francesca “Chessie” Keebaugh, the 30-year-old daughter of Real Housewives of Melbourne star Chyka Keebaugh, turned heads last week with a sizzling Instagram post from her luxury Italian vacation. The blonde model showcased her figure in a daring brown one-piece bikini while lounging on a boat off the coast of Santa Caterina, Puglia.

The halter-neck swimsuit dipped dramatically to her navel, paired with denim shorts and wet, tousled hair, suggesting a post-swim photoshoot. Chessie’s confident pose and sultry pout captivated her followers, further cementing her growing presence beyond her reality TV roots.

From “Nepo Baby” to Spotlight
While Chessie is best known as the daughter of RHOM’s beloved Chyka Keebaugh, she’s increasingly carving her own path. Her glamorous lifestyle and modeling ventures have drawn a dedicated social media following.

Past Feud with RHOM Star
Chessie previously made headlines in 2021 when she fiercely defended her mother against co-star Lydia Schiavello. The feud erupted after Lydia shared a photoshopped image of Chyka with an unflatteringly altered waistline. Chessie slammed the post on Instagram, calling it “pathetic” and criticizing Lydia for “bringing another woman down.”

“What fiftysomething woman sits at home morphing herself to look thin and the woman next to her large?” Chessie wrote. “I worry for your mindset.” Lydia responded with a laugh-crying emoji in Chessie’s DMs, prompting the model to repost the exchange with the caption: “Someone tell this ‘woman’ to get out of my DMs.”

Embracing Independence
Today, Chessie focuses on her modeling career and jet-setting lifestyle, often sharing travel snapshots with her 95K Instagram followers. Her latest Italian escapade—featuring yacht trips, coastal views, and designer outfits—highlights her flair for curating a luxe persona.

While her famous mother remains a supportive figure, Chessie’s bold fashion choices and unfiltered social media presence signal her determination to step out of the reality TV shadow. As one fan commented: “She’s no longer just Chyka’s daughter—she’s a star in her own right.”
