Samantha Armytage has a new body and a new love.

Sunday Confidential can reveal the Sunrise host has officially split with ex-boyfriend Paul O’Brien and moved on with a new and “much better suited” bloke.

The 42-year-old WW (formerly Weight Watchers) ambassador, who was out celebrating her breakfast program’s ratings year win on Friday night, reportedly broke up with O’Brien after he left her in tears at close friend Skye Leckie’s 60th birthday party in April.

She has since moved on with one of Leckie’s friends — the pair apparently met on the night of her party — however friends are reluctant to give up his name.

“Yep, you’re right, Paul has gone and we couldn’t be happier about it,” one friend told Sunday Confidential on Saturday.

“He wasn’t good for her and all her close friends knew it.

“Her new boyfriend isn’t well-known or in the industry and she really doesn’t want his name out there in case the attention jeopardises the relationship. But he is a good guy and good for her.”

It’s believed Armytage has moved on with one of Skye Leckie’s friends. It’s reported Armytage split from her boyfriend after being left in tears at Leckie’s 60th.

O’Brien, who was previously married to Brisbane-based Ten Eyewitness News presenter Georgina Lewis before they separated in early 2018, was a polarising figure among Armytage’s mates, with many claiming the relationship was doomed from the beginning.

“All those stories of him being a multi-millionaire are completely false,” one insider said. “He’s not a multi-millionaire at all.

“Paul absolutely loved the social scene and wanted to make the most of Sam’s social status.”
