Hot new couple alert: Lincoln Younes off the market

Lincoln Younes has long kept his personal life private. Here, Confidential confirms the actor is officially off the market.

Hot new couple alert – TV star Lincoln Younes is dating up and coming actor Courtney Clarke.

Confidential can confirm the pair have been seeing each other quietly and just last week stepped out for their first event publicly together.

It is believed the super private Younes, 31, and Clarke, 25, met on set of hit Aussie television drama, Last King of the Cross.

Younes played John Ibrahim in the Paramount+ series, while Clarke had a small role as the character, Brooke, in the show about the Kings Cross identity.

While Younes is a well established actor on the Australian scene with a career spanning almost 15 years, Clarke is a relative newcomer.

The cast also includes Miah Madden, Courtney Monsma, Emma Booth, Krew Boylan, Ditch Davey, Thomas Cocquerel and Naomi Sequeira.

Paper Dolls is being produced by former Bardot singer Belinda Chapple and is based loosely on the rise and fall of the Aussie pop group that had a huge hit with Poison and launched the career of Sophie Monk.

Younes’ credits meanwhile include Tangle, Home and Away, Love Child, Doctor Doctor, Barons and After The Verdict.

A second season of Last King of the Cross was announced in June and is in pre-production now.

Younes has never spoken publicly about his love life. He was several years ago linked to actor Melina Vidler and online reports suggest he dated ex Amy Ruffle for five years.
