Eleanor may have a former prime minister as a father, but the footballer-turned-model has shown that her calling in life is very different from politics.
In 2019, she set her sights on a more glamorous path: the Miss Universe Australia pageant.
The stunning woman participated in the contest, in which she was a finalist.
Baillieu is a guide dog puppy raiser and full-time footballer at Old Geelong in the VAFA, and has lived in London and New York.
“I’ve been modeling on and off since 2010 and I had a friend who did it (Miss Universe) last year and she encouraged me to do it and I thought, why not,” Baillieu said at the time.

Sutterby, meanwhile, owns trendy spots including Lennox Coffee and Kitchen in Melbourne.
Baillieu is not all about the glamorous life though, and has even said that she loves having a “beer with the boys” and taking part in things outside her “comfort zone”.
His father, Ted, was Premier of Victoria from 2010 to 2013.
Now that he has left office, he has plenty of time to support his daughter from the sidelines.
“He was always present in everything that happened at school and when he came home we would have dinner as a family. He was like a father to me,” Baillieu said.
