Snezana Wood's daughter Eve has opened up about her biological father in a rare and deeply personal public moment that has since gone viral.
The 19-year-old daughter of the former Bachelor star broke down in tears during an interview with Dose of Society, which was shared to the popular Instagram page's 1.7 million followers on Friday.
In the raw and unfiltered video, Eve was asked: 'What is the most painful thing anyone has ever said to you?'
Her candid response left viewers stunned: 'Probably that I don't deserve the life I'm living.'
Wiping away tears, the Melbourne-based teen explained it was her biological dad who made the comment.
'I don't know why he said that to me. I grew up just with my mum,' she continued.
'She raised me to be the woman I am today. He wanted to see my mum suffer. And I think when he saw that my mum had built a life for both of us, it was just more of a reaction.'
Eve revealed she hasn't seen her biological father in eight years and that he was largely absent from her childhood.
'He was never around when I was little, so it was just my mum and I. I was very close to my mum’s side; everyone was there to support me, but I think he just did some things a while back that ended him in places he shouldn’t have been in. He just got involved with the wrong people,' she said.
The heartfelt clip quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of views and comments, with fans flooding the comments section with support and admiration for Eve's strength.
When asked what she would say to her mum today, Eve fought back tears again.
'How proud I am of her,' she replied.
'She’s done a lot. She sacrificed a lot. She was working nine to five, and after that going to uni.
'She ended up getting her bachelor’s in molecular genetics and biology. Seeing how strong she is, how much strength she’s got to keep going through all of this - it makes me proud to be my mother’s daughter.'
Eve, who has grown up largely in the spotlight after Snezana found love with Sam Wood on The Bachelor in 2015, later commented under the clip, offering further insight into how hard it was to speak so vulnerably on camera.
'Thank you so much for letting me share my story,' she wrote.
'My friends, family, and people around me know I’ve never really taken things too seriously, especially growing up in the public eye.
'At such a young age, I think I learned to protect myself by just laughing things off because it was easier than actually addressing them.
'But the question really caught me off guard. It had been such a long time since I’d been that honest with myself, and I didn’t expect to get that emotional.
'I was nervous about how this would be received, especially being vulnerable on social media, knowing how harsh it can be. But the kindness and messages I’ve received have meant more than I can explain.'
Eve was just nine years old when her mum Snezana appeared on season three of The Bachelor, where she met and eventually married fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, now share three daughters together - Willow, Charlie and Harper - with Sam embracing a father role to Eve from the start.
The unlikely sighting comes just weeks after the model revealed she has split with boyfriend Ben Silvagni.
Less than one year after going public with their romance, it appears the couple have now parted ways, following a very telling Instagram post from Eve.
Eve took to the social media platform to share a promo 'questionnaire' from camera company 35mm Co.
The image showed Eve as a '35mm Co muse' providing answers to a series of questions.
Eve seemingly put paid to her romance with Ben with just two simple words.
Answering the question about her 'relationship status' with 'happily single.'
Also tellingly, both Eve and Ben have unfollowed each other on Instagram and apparently scrubbed all evidence of their romance from their respective pages.
However, Snezana and her husband Sam Wood are still following their daughter's former flame.
While there has been no other word from Eve or Ben about the split, it could be a case of tyranny of distance.
Just one month after they confirmed their relationship, Eve revealed that she had moved to New York to study fashion.
The teenager is currently studying at the Parsons School of Design.
