Two of Sydney’s sexiest singles have paired up.
Top Sydney model Simone Holtznagel is dating eligible eastern suburbs bachelor Max Shepherd.
Sunday Confidential can reveal the romance is fairly new and barely official, but both parties are said to be smitten.
It’s not yet known how they met, however their relationship was on full display at the recent Silver Party charity gala.
Holtznagel is considered one of our most marketable models, having been snapped up by big brands including Guess, and lingerie labels Honey Birdette and Bra’s n Things.
Meanwhile, Shepherd, who was previously linked to nude artist Dina Broadhurst and US actor Vail Bloom, is a property developer.
Holtznagel isn’t Shepherd’s usual type. The 32-year-old bachelor usually goes for much older brunettes.
Holtznagel, whose younger sister Madeline is dating billionaire Justin Hemmes, is a 31-year-old blonde bombshell.
This is the first relationship for Holtznagel since her messy split with the father of her daughter, Jonathon Castano.
Shepherd and his ex-girlfriend Broadhurst on Saturday held an open home for their two-bathroom apartment, which they purchased in 2022 for $5.2 million.
After completing an ambitious renovation, they then listed the 280sqm home for sale in November with a $11.5m price tag.
Fast forward six months, and that asking price has dropped to $8.4m.
