He shares two daughters - Alexa, nine, and Saachi, seven - with his ex-partner Kate Fowler. The sweet photo dump included an array of snaps showing the couple's newborn baby wrapped up in a blanket. One picture showed the new mum proudly holding her first child as she donned a matching pink pyjama set. She was positively glowing as she beamed at the camera while her precious newborn wore a smile on his face. Another picture showed Justin and Madeline looking windswept and content as they enjoyed a beach walk with their little one.

It's not all glitz and glam! Eastern Suburbs socialite Bernadette Fahey cleans up outside her hot-spot Bondi Pilates studios as she is ribbed for her 'hocus pocus' sound healing sessions
Bernadette Fahey has gone from a mere Pilates instructor to the 'It girl' of Sydney's eastern suburbs. But the Body By Berner founder, 35, proved it's not all glitz and glam as she got her hands dirty and cleaned up outside her Pilates studio in Bondi on Friday. Bernadette looked stylish in light blue pants and a crop jumper as she tidied up her studio after a class. She was seen carrying a large garbage bag as she walked around the room. The sighting comes after Bernadette hit back after a social media user referred to her sound healing sessions as 'hocus pocus'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Hocus pocus for people with too much spare time,' they wrote about the sessions which aim to promote balance and well-being. Bernadette shared the post before adding several laughing emojis. She also posted a client's positive review before writing: 'I totally get sound healing and breath work can look odd. 'But if I had a dollar for everyone who has done a @bodybyberner breath work or sound healing class that says they slept better or something similar to the below...' Meanwhile, Bernadette recently tied the knot with Buildcorp COO Jordan Sukkar in a star-studded wedding. The couple walked down the aisle at Scots College in the upmarket suburb of Bellevue Hill back in November. The bride stunned in a sleeveless satin gown from Steven Khalil with layered skirting and delicate lace detailing at the bodice. She wore a free-flowing 1920s-style veil with embroidered edges that sat just off her face and flowed down her shoulders. She also posted a client's positive review before hitting back at the critic The nuptials were quite the star-studded affair, with the likes of Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic and Anthony and Annika Bell stepping out for the glittering occasion. Also in attendance were Madeline Hotlznagel and her billionaire partner Justin Hemmes, 'nude' artist Dina Broadhurst, and model Montana Cox. Following the luxe wedding, the pair jetted off to Hamilton Island for the honeymoon. After the Hamilton Island trip, the couple extended their honeymoon with a swanky European holiday. The couple were soaking up the high life at lavish ski resorts in France and Italy on the trip that was estimated to cost $100,000.

Fans shocked by eastern suburbs socialite Dina Broadhurst's VERY humble car: 'Thought she was rich'
Dina Broadhurst was recently pictured stepping out in a very revealing activewear set - and a very surprising car. The nude artist, 48, was seen on Monday attending a Pilates class at Body by Berner, which is owned by her best friend Bernadette Fahey, for a workout session. However, eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out the vehicle that she arrived in, which was none other than a Mazda3 circa 2015. The humble car, while a sturdy mode of transport, is a far cry from the glitz and glamour one may associate with Dina, who tops headlines with her international travels, designer-laden ensembles and attendance at swanky upper-class parties. The car, which won the 'top safety pick' award by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), retails between $10,000 and $15,000. Many were left questioning the socialite's choice of wheels. 'Thought she was Mazda,' wrote one. 'So often touted as eastern suburbs elite, yet she drives a Mazda?' another said, adding: 'No offence to Mazda drivers.' When arriving at the Bondi Pilates studio, Dina's super trim pins were on display in a maroon coloured bodysuit which she paired with slides. She went makeup free for her workout session and tied her hair in a ponytail. Dina's exercise session comes after she enjoyed a night out at the prestigious Silver Party held at Justin Hemmes' sprawling mansion in Vaucluse. At the event, Dina risked a major wardrobe malfunction in an extremely risqué gown. She wore a very revealing ice blue Michael Lo Sordo gown with a deep plunging neckline. The satin frock featured a halter neckline which left little to the imagination as it completely bared her toned stomach and hardly concealed her chest. Likely held in place with fashion tape, Dina appeared unconcerned with the fragility of her backless - and nearly frontless - ensemble as she took several sultry photos for Instagram. At one point, she was seen taking a flirty photo with a waiter at the event as she snacked on some chips. Dina let the shock dress do all the talking as she kept her accessories to a minimum, only popping on a pair of hoop earrings. The Silver Party is one of Sydney's most prestigious charity galas, and was this year attended by some 300 influential figures from business, media, and entertainment. Since its inception in 2001, the Silver Party has raised over $10 million in support of the state's most critically ill children. The money raised funds for vital equipment, research, and life-saving treatments across the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network.
