Former reality TV<\/a> star Brooke Blurton has shared her highly emotional journey to the UK aimed at surprising her sister Rhiannon whom she\u2019s never met in person.<\/p>\n

In a storyline resembling that of 1998 film The Parent Trap, the WA-raised creative explained how she\u2019d never met her older sibling on her dad\u2019s side, with the pair yet to set foot in each other\u2019s homelands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited, I\u2019ve never met her,\u201d Blurton told her 251K Instagram followers in a candid video.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister Rhiannon has lived in Europe her whole life \u2014 she\u2019s never been to Australia. We\u2019ve always spoken about actually getting to meet one another one time… You know what, I think life is too short.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then a few hours later, Blurton shared the special moment the pair were united for the very first time, describing it as \u201cthe best surprise of 2025\u201d.<\/p>\n

Walking nervously into a London bistro, the content creator crept up behind her sister before the pair lovingly embraced as Rhiannon\u2019s family joyously watched on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t tell you how much it has healed my younger self just seeing my big sister,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Blurton had also earlier explained that she\u2019d penned a letter to Rhiannon that felt \u201csurreal to write\u201d, struggling to summarise the last 25 years of her life.<\/p>\n

Reading it aloud, she said that \u201cwhen people would call you my half sister I would correct them and say, \u2018we don\u2019t say that, she\u2019s my sister\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a series of clips, the weight of Blurton\u2019s anticipation appeared to grow as she took followers along with her through airports, taxis, and hotels \u2014 repeatedly masking her face and appearing overcome with nerves.<\/p>\n

She said she had been compelled to plot the pair\u2019s first-ever encounter after attending therapy for a couple of months, and feeling like \u201cI needed to see her\u201d.<\/p>\n

The two-time author added it wasn\u2019t just Rhiannon she had been longing to meet, but her sister\u2019s family who were also yet to physically embrace the Aussie.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get to meet her kids, which are my nephew and nieces,\u201d Blurton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really nervous cos\u2019 I have to fly across the country and I haven\u2019t done that for a while all by myself. This is pretty scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rising to fame as a cast member of Australia\u2019s The Bachelor in 2019, the digital creator recently shared another highly emotional family development.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Blurton posted a teary-eyed video<\/a> of herself as she was assisted with her brother\u2019s marriage proposal.<\/p>\n
