Former Home And Away star Pia Loyola changes name after secret wedding

Former Home And Away star Pia Loyola is settling into married life months after her secret wedding to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell.

Former Home And Away star Pia Loyola is yet to publicly confirm whispers of a secret wedding to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell but if there was any lingering doubt among fans, a recent change to her Instagram account is a dead giveaway.

The Bondi model has officially changed her last name to Whitesell, two months after Confidential revealed the couple had quietly tied the knot.

The couple continue to navigate their long-distance union while 12,000 km apart as Whitesell, 56, is based in California but makes regular trips to Sydney.

Loyola, 37, recently enlisted the help of Los Angeles-based interior design studio Haus of Design, which specialises in home decoration, for a new project as she prepares to split her time between Australia and the US.

The couple are in a long-distance marriage, with Whitesell based in the US.

The pair began dating in 2019, following Whitesell’s divorce with ex-wife Lauren Sanchez after 13 years.

They announced their engagement in November last year.

The WME CEO shares two children with Sanchez, who has since moved on with Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos.

Loyola was previously married to former AFL star Brad Miller and she shares a son with him and a second son from a previous relationship.
