Andy El Bayeh has gone public with his new love.
Bayeh, who is the CEO of culture agency Example and known as one of Sydney's most eligible bachelors, is on a romantic vacation with designer and podcaster Raquelle Saba.
After Daily Mail Australia first broke the news of their relationship last month, the couple went Instagram official this week as they enjoyed the luxurious getaway together.
Andy and Raquelle cuddled up in multiple selfies shared by the CEO, looking very cosy indeed.

They also spent some time by the seaside and took a speedboat out for a joyride.
In a caption alongside the photos, Andy wrote: 'Lebanon. My roots, my family, my blood. A country that's endured so much and yet still overflows with such beauty, spirit, and love.'
He continued: 'I came back after nearly three decades and I didn't expect it to hit this hard. It's paradise! A soul I've never felt anywhere else.'
Andy also explained that he would be returning to the region and expected to be 'back and forth all summer' between Sydney and Lebanon.
The Sydney businessman was considered one of the most eligible men on the Sydney market after his marriage breakdown.
In 2024, Andy split with Harriet Williams after two years of marriage.
The popular Eastern Suburbs couple tied the knot in a fairytale $1 million wedding in March 2022 after four years together.
Publicist Andy and kinesiologist Harriet were said to have abruptly ended their six-year-long relationship earlier this month during a European holiday.
Sources close to the couple confirmed the separation to the Daily Telegraph, with the reports shocking Sydney 's social set.
The couple had been posting very loved-up images together as they travelled around Greece and Italy.
However, the pair then unfollowed each other on Instagram amid reports of their very sudden break-up.
Andy is the chief creative officer and founder of creative agency Example, while Harriet is a kinesiologist at Inner Remedy and comes from a wealthy Sydney family.
Andy, who used to work as Merivale's Director of Marketing, and Harriet had been dating for four years before they tied the knot.
Andy launched an elaborate scheme to propose to Harriet, disguising his plan as his 31st birthday bash before turning the event into a wild engagement party.
The couple then tied the knot in a lavish three-day forest wedding in the Southern Highlands in March 2022 in an epic 72-hour-long event which reportedly set them back $1 million.

Jennifer Aniston's new man sparks concern as he's seen hobbling on a date with her A-list pals

Jennifer Aniston 's new hypnotist hunk boyfriend Jim Curtis was seen with cane in hand as he limped on date with the A-lister. The 49-year-old guru was seen hobbling as he arrived for a night on the town in the West Village neighborhood of New York City with his 56-year-old ladylove on Monday. The two - who revealed their romance last month - enjoyed a double date with Jennifer's close pal Jason Bateman, 56, and his longtime wife Amanda Anka, also 56, for their second public outing together. Jim - who has been open about his struggle with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and past fight with severe nerve pain - looked visibly strained as he used a cane while gingerly walking into the hotel after a three-hour dinner. No doubt the two still want to keep their relationship under wraps as they left through different doors in the hotel despite using the same car. The former star of Friends looked stylish for the night out as she sported a white maxi dress with sandals. Jennifer - who was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 until 2005, and then Theroux from 2011 until 2017 - sparked romance rumors after she was spotted with the life coach on vacation in Mallorca, Spain, during Fourth of July weekend. 'She's dating Jim and is very happy, but she's still taking things slowly,' a source previously told They adding that Jen 'feels very connected to Jim, as they have the same level of emotional intelligence, unlike some of her previous suitors.' Before that Aniston appeared to be dropping hints about the new man in her life. On July 14, she took to Instagram Stories with a pair of cryptic posts that had fans reading between the lines. First, the Friends alum reposted a tweet that read: 'The Friends theme song was right, no one told us life was gonna be this way' - seemingly referencing an unexpected new chapter in her life. Then came the real eyebrow-raiser: a quote from 'mindfulness expert' Case Kenny that read, 'People who still radiate love in a world that has shown them its darkest sides, please never change.' Fans immediately began theorizing that the message was about Curtis, who's known for his uplifting, love-centric philosophy. The 49-year-old guru was seen hobbling as he arrived for a night on the town in the West Village neighborhood of New York City with his ladylove on Monday No doubt the two still want to keep their relationship under wraps as they left through different doors in the hotel despite using the same car The former star of Friends looked stylish for the night out as she sported a white maxi dress with sandals Curtis regularly posts inspirational quotes and 'manifestations' to help people 'break free from their past and patterns' to find love - and Aniston has been following him on the social media platform for almost two years. Meanwhile, Jen's Instagram clues came hot on the heels of Curtis expressing how meaningful their Mallorca getaway had been. 'I am back from vacation and what an experience!' he wrote in his newsletter, according to Page Six. 'When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis. 'I just took one step, made one decision and the next followed — now I look back and realize, oh! That course, that life change, that pain, resulted in this magic.' Jim added: 'The same life that brings struggle also brings opportunity. The possibility of something better — more aligned, more free, more meaningful — is always here.' Curtis has had his own share of life-changing challenges. Beginning in the summer of 1995, right after his freshman year at the University of New Hampshire, when he was hit with severe nerve pain that would stay with him for years. An MRI later revealed lesions on his spinal cord, a diagnosis that pushed Curtis to pivot from his 'frat guy athlete' persona and explore a different path focused on healing and personal transformation. He credits a university professor for setting that new course into motion. 'He taught me to meditate and introduced me to the idea of mindfulness: focusing on just being present,' Curtis shared in a 2017 interview. Curtis was previously married to Rachel Napolitano, though their relationship reportedly ended not long after she gave birth to their son, Aidan, who is now a teenager. Aniston, of course, has had her own romantic history in the spotlight. She was famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 before their headline-making split when Pitt began a relationship with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith. She later tied the knot with actor and writer Justin Theroux in 2015, but the marriage ended in divorce three years later. In a 2022 interview, Aniston opened up for the first time about her private struggle to have children — and the emotional toll it took. 'It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,' she admitted. 'All the years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard. 'I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it,' she added. ' 'I would've given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.' You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.'

Sydney Chandler describes experience on the Alien: Earth TV series as ‘a joy'

Sydney Chandler has described her first experience of leading a cast in the new sci-fi drama Alien: Earth as a 'joy'. The 29-year-old American actress plays Wendy, a humanoid robot with human consciousness, in Emmy-winning producer Noah Hawley's new series based on the acclaimed franchise. Advertisement The Alien franchise began with Sir Ridley Scott's 1979 film starring Sigourney Weaver as warrant officer Ellen Ripley, who takes on an extra-terrestrial lifeform called the Xenomorph. The new eight-episode series sees Wendy and a group of tactical soldiers make a discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat. Director Noah Hawley and producer David W Zucker with the cast of Alien: Earth (Ian West/PA) Chandler, who starred in Olivia Wilde's psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling and Danny Boyle's miniseries Pistol, about the Sex Pistols, said she was lucky to have such a supportive cast for her first lead role. 'I felt like every day I was showing up to an incredible acting class,' Chandler told the PA news agency. Advertisement 'I'm new to this game, and so it was just a joy to be able to work with such a supportive and such a giving cast who were there to play.' Speaking of her character, she said: 'There's so many layers to her and she's just a juicy character to jump into. 'I did as much prep as you can for a character, there's no research you could do. 'I really found my character once I started working off everybody.' Advertisement Alien: Earth is set in the year 2120, when the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this corporate era, cyborgs and synthetics, which are humanoid robots with artificial intelligence, exist alongside humans, but the world is changed when the founder of the Prodigy corporation unlocks a technological advance: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). Wendy, the first hybrid prototype, marks a new advance in the race for immortality and after Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter new and terrifying life forms. The cast includes Deadwood actor Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh, Black Mirror star Alex Lawther as Hermit, Mary And George's Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, Guerrilla actor Babou Ceesay as Morrow and Bottom star Adrian Edmondson as Atom Eins. Advertisement Samuel Blenkin plays Boy Kavalier in Alien: Earth (Ian West/PA) Blenkin said the filming experience was made a lot easier due to Hawley's practical approach to special effects. 'We were lucky on this show because we're not doing much acting with tennis balls or anything like that that you do in a show where there's a lot of CGI,' the 29-year-old actor explained. 'Noah was really intent upon everything being practical. 'There's no acting required when Cameron, the vegan New Zealander, is wearing a Xenomorph suit and is leering over you and drooling, and it's animatronic and it's real. Advertisement 'It was just a joy. We turn into kids on those sets.' Hawley, who is best known for creating the Fargo TV series, said the 'imperfections of reality are scarier than the sort of bloodlessness of computer-generated images'. 'All I'm trying to do is create the same feelings that you had when you watched Ridley's film or James Cameron's film,' the 57-year-old writer and director explained. 'Some of that we're able to achieve in new ways, but some of it is literally going back to the original cinema of optical illusions.' Alien: Earth will launch on Disney+ on August 13th.
