Simone Holtznagel steps out solo in maroon frock with racy cutout at Léays underwear launch after sparking romance rumours with Dina Broadhurst's ex Max Shepherd
Simone Holtznagel knows how to rock a frock. The model and mum-of-one stepped out for the Léays underwear launch at Aria restaurant in Sydney on Wednesday night looking stunning in a maroon gown. The 31-year-old's dress sat close to her figure and featured a maxi length that trailed along the floor and sheer sleeves, as well as a cutout at the hip. She wore her hair in an up do with loose strands around her face and hose a natural makeup look with a pink lip stain. Simone finished her ensemble with a designer purse and earrings while keeping the rest of her accessories light. Simone appeared to go solo to the dinner event despite news that she appears to have found love again. The stunner recently sparked romance rumours with Dina Broadhurst's Eastern Suburbs property developer ex-boyfriend Max Shepherd. According to The Sunday Telegraph, Simone was seen cosying up to Max at Justin Hemmes' Silver Party charity gala, fuelling speculation that the pair are quietly dating. While the relationship is still in its early stages and yet to be made official, sources tell the publication that the two are already 'smitten' and have been spending lots of time together. Simone is no stranger to headlines – especially since her high-profile breakup with celebrity trainer Jono Castano, with whom she shares a daughter. The pair ended things last year after a tumultuous on-off relationship. Meanwhile, Max Shepherd, 32, has carved out a name for himself in the property world and was previously linked to Broadhurst, a famed Sydney-based artist known for her nude self-portraits and edgy art installations. He also dated US actress Vail Bloom. Interestingly, Simone doesn't appear to be Max's usual type – with the developer historically gravitating towards older, brunette women, a far cry from Simone's signature blonde bombshell aesthetic. The timing of the romance comes as Max and his ex Dina are in the process of offloading their multimillion-dollar Rose Bay apartment, which they purchased together in 2022 for $5.2 million. The luxury two-bedroom, two-bathroom property was initially listed in November with an eye-watering price tag of $11.5 million after undergoing a dramatic high-end renovation. But six months on, the price has been slashed to $8.4 million, according to property records. Simone's younger sister Madeline Holtznagel is currently dating hospitality tycoon and Merivale CEO Justin Hemmes, 51, and they're expecting their first child this month. Simone previously dated celebrity personal trainer Jono, 34, before the pair ended things late last year. Jono has since moved on with Love Triangle star Emily Ryder, with the two debuting their relationship on social media. Earlier this month Jono was spotted enjoying a romantic night out with Emily at the Sydney Opera House. In a moody black-and-white clip filmed during their outing, the couple looked completely smitten as they paused on a grand staircase under dramatic lighting. In the footage, the fitness guru was seen planting a kiss on his girlfriend's lips as they posed for a cute photo together. The pair have reportedly been dating for several months and are taking things 'very slowly'. Sources close to the couple say Jono and Emily bonded over their shared passion for fitness and adventure, and are often seen working out together.

Model Samantha Harris announces she's expecting first child with husband Luke Hunt after standing by him during prison sentence
Samantha Harris is pregnant with her first child. The Australian model, 34, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a picture of an ultrasound, revealing that she is pregnant with her first baby. 'Life Lately,' she captioned the post, while tagging her husband of eleven years Luke Hunt. The post, which has garnered over 2,600 likes, did not reveal the gender nor when the baby is due. Fans and friends flooded the comments section of the post with support for the Aussie supermodel. 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. 'Congratulations gorgeous,' Australia's Next Top Model alum Simone Holtznagel wrote, accompanied with a love heart. Fitness guru and podcast host Steph Claire Smith simply wrote, 'Congratulations,' as did model Jess King. Model and actress Megan Gale penned, 'Congratulations Sammy.' Samantha's hubby also left a comment in response to her caption, writing: 'And the rest of our lives to come'. That model made headlines in 2014 when she famously stuck by her beau's side after he was sentenced to four years in prison. Luke served two years behind bars for the death of a grandfather following a fatal car crash in 2012. Sam secretly married Luke in 2014, two months before he began serving his prison sentence for his involvement in the crash that caused the death of 78-year-old grandfather Kenneth Lay. News that the couple had married wasn't revealed until April 2016, after her husband had finished serving his prison term. The former Dancing With The Stars contestant, whose mother is Aboriginal and father is German-English, has been modelling since she was 13 years of age after winning the Girlfriend Magazine Covergirl competition. However, despite her success, Samantha has admitted in the past that she lacked mentors and opportunities during her childhood. The 6ft model, who hails from Tweed Heads, told The Daily Telegraph: 'When I was growing up, support and education for Aboriginal kids was limited and for my mother before me it was even more so.' 'This is why I have made it my goal to commit as much time and effort to changing this for future generations,' she added. It comes after Samantha previously took aim at a journalist for questioning if she was pregnant during a live TV cross. 'So I'm not one to usually write a post like this but this has just really rubbed me up the wrong way today,' she fumed in an Instagram post hours after the incident. The catwalk queen explained that she was preparing to film a segment for Sunrise when her agent began talking to a journalist about her over the phone. 'I overheard the conversation asking if I'm pregnant because there's been rumours getting around for a while now that I am,' she explained. 'Needless to say I was not impressed,' she raged, adding that she found the question 'so rude'. 'Seriously, where do rumours like that come from? What are they implying? Are they trying to say I've gained weight or something??' the star continued. 'If and when I do fall pregnant it will be up to myself and my husband to whom we share that information with and if we let media know at all,' she declared.

Meet the secret Holtznagel sister: Justin Hemmes' girlfriend Madeline and model Simone pose with their older sibling Anna for rare photo
Madeline Holtznagel and her sister Simone have made a name for themselves as two of Australia's most successful models. But their oldest sister Anna, 33, enjoys a quiet life away from the spotlight. However the siblings posed for a rare photo together last month at Madeline's lavish baby shower. The expecting mother, 28, is set to welcome her first child, a son, with billionaire pub baron Justin Hemmes. The sisters wore matching white dresses as they looked lovingly at heavily pregnant Madeline while posing with their mother Margaret. Also in the sweet family photo was Anna's young daughter. Anna is a mother-of-three who runs a beauty business from her home. Simone, 31, has also been embracing motherhood since welcoming her daughter Gia in March last year with ex partner Jono Castano. Their sister Madeline is set to welcome her first child with Justin and hosted a baby shower at the entrepreneur's $100million Vaucluse mansion. She has since admitted she is happy she will give birth to a son, because she wanted a 'new journey' with her partner, who already shares two daughters with his ex Kate Fowler. 'I always thought I was going to have a boy. I knew I was going to be a boy mum,' she told Stellar Magazine last month. 'Justin has two beautiful little girls, so having a boy, it's like a whole new journey together. '[The baby] is going to be his little best mate.' Madeline broke her silence on her pregnancy as she showed off her baby bump in Stellar and revealed she is having a baby boy. The mum-to-be said she has kept the pregnancy process to herself but was now ready to share her journey. 'I keep a lot of my life private and I don't share a lot online anyway, so [being pregnant] wasn't really something that I was going to share online,' she said. 'I haven't posted about it and it's been nice to have some quiet time off Instagram. 'But obviously because I am in the public eye and we do get photographed quite a lot, I think now I'm at this point in my pregnancy where it's nice for me to be able to share some nice photos.'
