Geoffrey Edelsten's Playboy model 'girlfriend' Ashley Kirk, 26, breaks her silence after denying reports she is dating 73-year-old businessman

She made headlines last month as the latest so-called 'girlfriend' of 76-year-old Melbourne businessman Geoffrey Edelsten.

And Playboy bunny Ashley Kirk, 26, broke her silence on Wednesday - a week after her manager seemingly denied the reports in a statement to KIIS FM.

The US-born model shared an Instagram photo to her 71,000 followers, marking the end of her social media lockdown since the 'relationship' went public.

After news of the 'romance' broke in October, Ashley made her Instagram and Twitter accounts private - so only approved followers could view her posts.

But she made her Instagram page public again this week, before sharing one of her signature busty selfies to celebrate 'hump day'.

In the photo, which appeared heavily Photoshopped, she displayed her 32DD assets in a plunging grey dress while smiling for the camera.

Geoffrey who? This week, the 26-year-old shared her first public Instagram photo since the Melbourne businessman, 73, confirmed the 'relationship' - but made NO reference to Geoffrey

Her complexion appeared flawless and her eyes looked oddly dramatic, all the tell-tale signs of an Instagram beauty filter.

Ashley notably did not mention Geoffrey in the post, despite their so-called 'fling' being widely reported across Australia.

Instead she seemingly brushed off her claim to fame, simply writing: 'Hi hello how are ya? #humpday'.

How rude! Meanwhile, details of Ashley's colourful past have recently surfaced - including her career as an entertainer at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion

Daily Mail Australia has previously reached out to Ashley's management for comment.

Last week, Geoffrey declined to comment when contacted by telephone.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph last month, Geoffrey appeared to confirm his relationship with Ashley - who is 47 years his junior

'We have a lot in common and there is sensational chemistry between us,' said the eccentric Melbourne millionaire.

Geoffrey explained he had met Ashley on a business trip to America several weeks previously.

'She’s gorgeous, articulate and fun and is attracted to me, I believe, because I’ve a lot to offer,' he said.

'I have seven masters and two doctorates and can help mentor her career.'

It was previously claimed Geoffrey met his ex-wife Gabi Grecko in New York in 2015 under similar circumstances.

But Daily Mail Australia later confirmed they actually met on a 'Sugar Daddy' website that connects young women to rich older men.

There is no evidence Geoffrey met Ashley on a 'Sugar Daddy' site and Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting this is case.

Meanwhile, details of Ashley's colourful past have recently surfaced - including her career as an entertainer at the Playboy mansion.

For a year, she worked as a body paint model at Hugh Hefner's famous property and even posed naked for Playboy's Student Bodies.

Ashley, now based in LA, told Esquire in 2013 her nude modelling devastated her family back home in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

'My family was very upset,' she recalled. 'My brother wouldn’t talk to me. My dad was actually very cool about everything.

'I remember he said, "It’s your life. If that’s what you want to do…" But my mum was crying. I was like, what did I do? I didn’t hurt anyone, and I couldn’t understand.'

More recently, Ashley set her sights on a career in Hollywood, and already has several minor roles on her IMDB page.

She played a bikini-clad party girl in 2016 film Precious Cargo, and notably 'jiggled' her breasts for the camera in a scene.

Ashley also starred alongside Bruce Willis in action movie Vice, released last year.
