Former Home and Away star Pia Miller is the latest name linked to the world’s most expensive divorce.

Miller is dating Hollywood heavyweight Patrick Whitesell, who was dumped by his TV presenter wife Lauren Sanchez for the world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos.

The former Melbourne-based model arrived back in Australia on Friday after a cruise break on Italy’s Amalfi coast with Whitesell.

He is one of Hollywood’s most powerful players as CEO of talent agency behemoth William Morris ­Endeavor. His client list ­includes Ben Affleck, Robert Redford, Michelle Williams, Denzel Washington and Hugh Jackman.

Sanchez filed for divorce from Whitesell in April after it was revealed that she and Bezos had been having an ­affair for eight months. Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, has a net worth of $US131 billion, making him the world’s richest man.

Miller and Whitesell are said to have struck up a relationship earlier this year, travelling to Paris together.

It’s understood the 35-year-old former model flew to Los Angeles this month to meet Whitesell, with the pair taking a private jet to Italy for their romantic getaway.

They were joined by TV personality Ryan Seacrest and his on-again, off-again model girlfriend Shayna Taylor. She and Miller have fast become friends, calling themselves besties on social media.

Miller was formerly married to Melbourne footy player Brad Miller. They had a son, Lennox, in 2006 and married in 2007 before separating in 2015. Miller also has son, Isaiah Loyola, from a previous relationship.

In November 2017, Miller became engaged to film producer Tyson Mullane but broke it off in April this year.

Bezos and wife MacKenzie announced in January that they were splitting after 25 years.

This was just before the US tabloid National Enquirer published a story saying he was having an affair with Sanchez.

Bezos later accused the tabloid’s publisher, former Seven journalist Dylan Howard, of threatening to publish explicit photos of him unless he stopped probing how the Enquirer obtained private messages between himself and Sanchez.

Miller told the Herald Sun last night that she did not want to comment on her relationship with Whitesell.
