Olympia Valance is set to expand her career after becoming an ambassador for Australian luxury beauty line Robe Haircare.
The 31-year-old former Neighbours star revealed the exciting news on Instagram, as she shared a gallery of jaw-dropping photos in which she flaunted her luscious brunette locks.
The Melbourne-born stunner radiated confidence and style in the stunning images, as she showed off how the products gave her hair that extra volume.
Olympia, who recently announced her pregnancy with her former AFL star husband Thomas Bellchambers, said 9Honey She was thrilled to collaborate with the brand, founded by her close friend, celebrity stylist Lauren Mackellar.
“This has been her dream, she’s been talking about creating these products for as long as I’ve known her. No one believes in this product more than me,” Olympia began.
She added that she chose to work with the brand because she fully believed in their products, which helped give her hair a radiant and glossy shine.
“Robe has something for literally every hair type. The toner rejuvenates the hair, I apply the leave-in conditioner all over my hair and then leave it in overnight, my hair feels like silk. I’m a Robe girl through and through.”
The brunette bombshell also posted a cheeky comment on Instagram, thanking Robe’s photographer for “hiding the pregnancy” during the shoot.

Olympia is expecting her first child with husband Thomas Bellchambers and announced her happy pregnancy news in an Instagram post last month as she spoke candidly about her fertility struggles before her “miracle baby” arrived.
In photos shared on his social media account, Thomas, 35, held Olympia’s growing baby bump in his arms as she held a positive pregnancy test.
“I’ve been hiding for the past five and a half months to make sure this whole thing wasn’t a dream,” she began in her caption.
“But you kept growing and growing and it’s starting to feel like our dreams have finally come true.”
‘I was as open and honest as I could be about our struggles with infertility and I truly believed that this day was not going to be possible for us. So when I saw this positive pregnancy test, I have to admit, at the time, I wasn’t jumping for joy.

“I was so scared because that was all I knew. But as the weeks went by, it was hard to wipe the smile off our faces.”
The former Neighbours star highlighted her excitement about starting a family and thanked those who supported her during her “darkest days”.
“To the little one we never thought we’d meet, we can’t wait to hold you in our arms. You were worth every tear, every setback, and every prayer,” she continued.
‘Thank you to all the people who supported us in the darkest days. I know I wouldn’t have made it this far without the strength of my family and friends, who managed to hold me up when I was falling apart.’
Olympia also paid tribute to families who have experienced fertility issues or pregnancy loss.
“It’s also incredibly important for me to acknowledge that while this is the best news in the world for Thomas and me, my heart aches for anyone who sees this and feels pain,” she said.
“I found it very difficult to write this because I feel like I’m caught between two worlds. It’s not an easy road and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It’s an emotional rollercoaster.
‘Stay strong, keep fighting, but most importantly, don’t forget to be kind to yourself.’
In May, the former soap star said the lengthy IVF process left her exhausted and she hit a low point after a tragic miscarriage.
“My body was exhausted and my mind was exhausted,” he said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

“I was always a happy and outgoing person, but I found myself becoming a bit of a hermit. I needed a complete reset.
In July 2023, Olympia revealed that she had lost twin babies during the Covid pandemic and later that year revealed that she had a second miscarriage at six weeks.
She said she was reluctant to “go down the IVF route” because she’s “never been good with hormones.”
“Adding more hormones to my accelerated menstrual cycle is very scary,” she said, but said she was not seeing a fertility specialist.
“I want to have babies and I will do everything in my power to have them,” Olympia concluded.
