RICHARD Wilkins' new girlfriend is the latest in a long list of lovers and wives for the Channel Nine Lothario. Can you name them?
RICHARD Wilkins' new girlfriend is the latest in a long list of lovers and wives for the Channel Nine Lothario.
Wilkins, who marked his 59th birthday in June, has been married three times and has had a string of lovers.
First, let's look at Dicky's hairstyles over those years
Wilkins married at an early age and was forced to work in an abattoir to support his teen bride and young family in his native New Zealand.
In his 2011 best-selling book, Black Ties, Red Carpets, Green Rooms, he briefly talks about another wife, Michelle Burke.
He gives a passing mention to a lover, Tottie Goldsmith.
He also mentioned his - at that time - last squeeze former lover, actress Rebecca Naso, whom he asked to be his fourth wife in December 2008. They split in March 2009.

The book fails to mention his former girlfriend, fashion designer Collette Dinnigan, the mother of his youngest child, Estella.
Wilkins, although the book failed to mention them, has also had celebrated relationships with New Zealand-born actress Rebecca Gibney.
He had a fling in 1991 with Sixty Minutes reporter Liz Hayes.
He also stepped out with former Miss Australia, Caroline Lumley, and former game show hostess, Ann-Maree Cooksley.
His latest squeeze is Bronwyn Jones, described as a venture capitalist and close friend to Erica Packer.
Confidential has uncovered the secret life of Jones, aka Bronwyn Leigh, former US Lingerie Bowl participant and one-time soap actress.
Wilkins met the attractive and curvaceous Jones at the GDay LA showcase in January and shyly confirmed the romance with the Jennifer Love Hewitt look-alike in April.
Friends have confirmed the two fell heavily for each other with Jones telling friends she met Wilkins a decade earlier but that he hadn't immediately recognised her when they reconnected at GDay LA.

RICHARD WILKINS' SECRET SEX LIFE
She is a mother-of-one and is separated from her husband, the couple only recently filing to divorce.
A friend of Jones, who these days calls southern California home, said she has been commuting to Sydney on a regular basis for extended stays since the start of the year, partly for business, partly romantic adventure.
She adopted the stage name during an earlier phase of her career while chasing work as a singer and actor, including a role on Neighbours.
Now a businesswoman, it seems there was a time when Jones was a fixture on the LA red carpet photo wall where she was well-admired for her cleavage, smile and winning way in lingerie.
