Money, power, a huge Instagram following – these are some of the drawcards that may get you noticed as an eligible bachelorette on the Sydney celebrity dating scene.
Here, Confidential takes a look at Sydney’s most impressive, and available women, many of whom you may not find looking for love on dating apps or at the local pub.
The prerequisite to make the list of course was to be single or at least ambiguously on the market as in not ‘Insta official’.
“I think it is difficult for me because I have been so focused on building my business and working so I don’t have a lot of time outside of that,” wellness guru Bernadette Fahey said when contacted about dating in Sydney.
“If looking to date someone, the qualities I look for are someone who is ambitious, driven and has a hard work ethic.”
Nutritionist and successful author Sarah Di Lorenzo is happily single at 50, although wouldn’t mind finding the right guy to spend time with.
“I am a workaholic so I haven’t done much dating but I hear it is an interesting world out there,” she said. “The truth is I haven’t dated but it is definitely an interesting space.”
Laura Dundovic believes honesty and authenticity are key to any dating scenario.
“Integrity is such an important trait for me,” she said. “If they are kind and motivated too, then you’ve found my man. Dating in Sydney is fun. There are plenty of cute date spots and fun things to do. I will say though, Sydney is small and everyone knows everyone.”
Emily Weir
Home And Away hottie Emily Weir foxtrotted herself to the grand final on the latest season of Dancing With The Stars, falling just short of a win against Human Nature’s Phil Burton. The popular actor has kept her private life low-key but is understood to be single, and therefore Confidential is sending Weir to the top of our Bachelorette list.
Laura Dundovic
Model and influencer Laura Dundovic is a former Miss Universe Australia who translated that success to a career in the media. Having appeared on various television shows, including I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! and hosted her own dating show, Dating In The Dark, love has so far eluded the brunette beauty who has previously dated Quade Cooper, James Kerley and Thomas Burgess.
Julie Bishop
After quitting federal parliament and breaking up with long-time boyfriend, David Panton, former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has watched bemused as speculation mounted around her love life. The 67-year-old has been linked to business identity and philanthropist Luke Hepworth, although the pair are understood to just be good friends, associates and red carpet buddies.
Iantha Yu
Ex magazine and digital beauty editor Iantha Yu is the founder of boutique agency PicStudio, which specialises in visual storytelling, strategy and branding in the lifestyle space.
Alice Moore
PR queen Alice Moore, of Elysee Collective, mixes in all the right circles. Beautiful, successful and driven, Moore blends work with wanderlust as she travels the world promoting her luxury clients. Originally from Queensland, Moore calls Bondi home and can be seen regularly up early running down at the beach or taking in a sunrise yoga class.
Sarah Di Lorenzo
Clinical nutritionist Sarah Di Lorenzo is fabulous at 50. Single with three daughters, the TV and media personality is a woman in demand for her frank and ‘real’ health advice. With four books released and more on the way, Di Lorenzo has not had a lot of time for dating. “A sense of humour is a must,” she said when asked what she’s looking for in a guy. “Just a good person and someone who is already happy and fulfilled in their own life. A relationship would be the cherry on top.”
Jessica Vander Leahy
Model, writer and content creator Jessica Vander Leahy is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women in this town. She is in demand on the catwalk and behind the scenes too for her bold and confident approach to the business. Once approached by producers of The Bachelorette, Vander Leahy keeps her romantic life relatively private and doesn’t share much of that side of her life on social media. A few calls by Confidential suggest Vander Leahy might be in a relationship but until said beau makes the Insta grid, we are firmly putting her on this list.
Francesca Packer
Billionaire heiress Francesca Packer – granddaughter of late media mogul Kerry Packer – has, let’s say, had a tumultuous love life to date. She split from boyfriend Robert Bates, 15 years her senior at 43, earlier this year and has previously dated personal trainer Sam Zacharia, Englishman Charlie Watson, musician Josh Mullane and property developer Kelli Holland.
Kate Ritchie
Radio and TV host Kate Ritchie has never been one to flash her private life around. Once married to retired NRL footballer turned chef Stuart Webb, the former Home And Away star is mum to beloved daughter Mae. The Nova breakfast radio presenter has most recently been linked to Chevy Black.
Annie Cannon-Brookes
After recently splitting from Atlassian billionaire hubby Mike Cannon-Brookes, fashion designer Annie Cannon-Brookes (nee Todd) is officially on the market. Mum to four kids, the philanthropist is active on the Sydney social scene and regularly attends charity events that she feels passionate about. She is a graduate of design and textiles from the University of Technology Sydney and previously ran her labels, Annie Todd and House of Cannon, specialising in sustainable and ethical clothing.
Pip Edwards
PE Nation co-founder can’t seem to escape questions about her love life. Pip Edwards was famously at the centre of Michael Clarke’s bust up with ex Jade Yarbrough in January, issuing this now iconic statement: “It is definitely not my circus and I would like to say the carnival is over”. Edwards has a son with former Ksubi co-founder Dan Single and has dated rugby great Adam Ashley Cooper and restaurateur Cameron Northway.
Montana Cox
Australia’s Next Top Model 2011 winner Montana Cox keeps her love life on the down low. She previously dated Lewis Romano, son of prominent Melbourne publicist Judy Romano, and Lavazza coffee heir Jamie Valmorbida. She has also been linked to Merivale boss Justin Hemmes, although the pair have both denied any romantic connection as they are long-time friends.
Sammy Robinson
Influencer and fashion designer Sammy Robinson recently set tongues wagging about her love life when she shared a snap with a hot beau. The social media star was previously in an on again off again relationship with ‘content creator’ Jordan Simi.
Kristin Fisher
Mother of two Kristin Fisher is the celebrity eyebrow artist to the stars. Based in Double Bay, some of Australia’s biggest names are her regular clients. On the personal front, Fisher was previously married and is now very much single and busy running her business. Fisher is well connected and mixes in Sydney’s society circles too.
Dina Broadhurst
Multimedia artist Dina Broadhurst is besties with interior designer Jade Yarbrough, the pair regularly spotted together at luxe events across town. Broadhurst, 45, recently split from boyfriend Max Shepherd, 15 years her junior.
Jodi Gordon
Actor Jodi Gordon, of Home And Away and Neighbours fame, has so far struggled to find the ‘one’. She has a child with retired NRL great Braith Anasta – daughter Aleeia – and has previously dated a number of prominent men about town, including Aiden Walsh and Sebastian Blackler.
Alyce Tran
One of Sydney’s most successful local business owners, Alyce Tran, of In The Roundhouse and LTK fame, knows how to turn something small into a big deal. In demand on guest lists, she recently rekindled a romance but is definitely one to watch.
Nikki Campbell
Co-founder of successful fashion label, SIR, Nikki Campbell is hugely successful in business. She is also well connected on the social scene with some of Sydney’s top socialites among her closest friends. Campbell co-founded SIR with Sophie Coote in 2014.
Jackie O
Tradie slash model Jack Tyerman is Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s rumoured boyfriend although the pair are yet to go public with their romance. Jackie O, one half of the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show on KIIS FM, has been married twice previously – to former co-host Phil O’Neil and UK photographer Lee Henderson. She has a daughter, Kitty, from her relationship with Henderson. As one of the most successful women in media, the 48-year-old’s love life has been the source of much speculation over the years. In May, Henderson told listeners she had signed up to dating app, Hinge, some five years after she and her ex husband split. “I just thought, hey, I’m going to do it because why not?” she said. “I can’t go out all the time, I don’t want to do that. This is just easier (to meet men). I just want to have some fun, I want to go out on a date here and there, you know?”
Bernadette Fahey
Pilates, yoga and meditation guru Bernadette Fahey has in a relatively short amount of time built the brand, Body by Berner. Having worked in PR in New York for eight years, Fahey returned to Sydney post Covid and has built Body by Berner into an enviable brand in just 18 months. Her close girlfriends include Caro Tran, Lou O’Neill and Montarna Pitt. While business is booming, Fahey is single and open to finding a nice bloke.
Jade Yarbrough
Single and focusing on herself after a pretty crazy year, interior designer Jade Yarbrough is a woman in demand. Yarbrough, sister of Jasmine Stefanovic and sister-in-law of Today host Karl Stefanovic, famously dated former Aussie cricket captain Michael Clarke – and we all know what happened in Noosa. Outside of that, Yarbrough is very successful with her Merci Maison practice, styling and designing interiors and creating her own statement pieces for people’s homes.
Jess Gomes
Model and actor Jessica Gomes has so far been unlucky in love. The Sports Illustrated model is generally super private when it comes to her love life. The 37-year-old has previously dated actor Xavier Samuel, former Wallabies rugby player Rocky Elsom and businessman Sebastian Drapac. She has also been linked to Aussie F1 star Daniel Ricciardo.
