Sydney socialite reveals new relationship after high-profile marriage breakdown

Hollie Nasser has opened up about her “beautiful” new life, three years after a highly-publicised affair and the breakdown of her marriage.

Sydney socialite Hollie Nasser has opened up about her “beautiful” new life, almost three years after a highly-publicised affair and the subsequent breakdown of her marriage.

The 38-year-old mum-of-two made headlines in November 2021 when it was revealed she was having an affair with Charlie Aitken, the husband of her former best friend, Ellie Aitken, and former business partner of her then-husband, millionaire investor Chris Nasser.

Prior to the scandal, the Aitken and Nasser couples were seemingly close, making regular appearances together on social media and at various events around Sydney. Both marriages ended, as did Ms Nasser’s relationship with Mr Aitken in May 2022.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph this week, Ms Nasser revealed she’s been quietly dating the managing director of eastern suburbs-based Saxons IT, Marshal de Saxe, for more than a year.

The couple, who were set up by “one of our very good mutual friends … had a strong connection straight from the start”, the psychologist said.

“Yes, we’re still going really strong. He’s just a very good person,” Ms Nasser added.

“He’s very smart, very kind, and all my girlfriends love him.”

The pair had been photographed together at a handful of events in recent months, including inside the G.H Mumm marquee at Derby Day last November and the Australian Open, but Mr de Saxe’s identity was never confirmed.

Ms Nasser, who lives in the affluent harbourside suburb of Rose Bay with her two young daughters, said she’s well and truly “moved on” from the circles she used to run in.

“I’m in a very happy place now. It was a horrific few years and they were definitely hard, but I think I’ve come out the other side a lot stronger and happier,” she said.

“I’ve got a beautiful life. I’ve got beautiful kids, beautiful friends, a beautiful partner.”

One such friend is Sky News presenter Erin Molan, who Ms Nasser met through their children at an after-school playdate and has become a “friend for life”.

Molan told The Telegraph that “as a single mum, it’s so nice to have people around you who understand”.

“From the second I met Hollie I knew she was kind, caring, and so fun,” the 2Day FM radio host said.

“I feel very blessed having a small group of girlfriends around me who I can ride the highs and lows with … and who have a healthy appetite for champagne.”
