Edelsten appeared in Series 11 of Dancing with the Stars; she was eliminated 5th on 12 June 2011. In mid-2012, Channel 7 confirmed that Edelsten would be getting her own reality TV show called Brynne: My Bedazzled Life.[3] The first series premiered on 4 October 2012.[4]
In 2013, she was featured in Celebrity Splash!, a show that follows celebrities as they try to master the art of diving.[5] Edelsten's reality TV show returned for a second series on 4 August 2014 with the new title of Brynne: My Bedazzled Diary.

Personal life
Brynne met Geoffrey Edelsten, a controversial Australian businessman 41 years her senior, in Las Vegas on a blind date.[2] They married on 29 November 2009 in Melbourne, Victoria at Crown Casino. The wedding was alleged to have cost approximately $3 million and featured a helicopter, circus performers and performances by Tom Burlinson and other headline acts. Actor Jason Alexander gave an address at the wedding, though Alexander did not personally know the couple.[6]
In January 2014, it was announced that the Edelstens' marriage was over. Brynne said she was unable to forgive "her publicity-obsessed husband for a reported dalliance with another woman more than 18 months ago" as the reason for the break up.[7]
In May 2021, Edelsten was arrested and charged with trafficking drugs and suspected proceeds of crime;[8] she later avoided conviction for the offenses.[9] In December 2025, Edelsten was again charged with drug trafficking after a police raid allegedly found commercial quantities of several types of narcotics in her home.[9][10]
As of December 2025, Edelsten has one child.[9]
