Simon Baker, 55, spotted with on-off girlfriend, 30

The Australian actor’s much younger girlfriend has finally been revealed, after the pair rekindled their romance recently.

Simon Baker has seemingly rekindled his romance with his on-again-off-again girlfriend, whose identity has finally been revealed.

The Australian actor, 55, was first spotted with a “mystery blonde” in November 2022, before he was seen enjoying a romantic beach date in Byron Bay with the same woman the following Easter.

Now, several months after they were last seen together, the Daily Mail reports the couple was spotted at Baker’s property in Sydney’s Tamarama earlier this month, revealing the woman is Melbourne-born lifestyle photographer Bridgette Clark, 30.

Clark, who lives in Bondi, is slightly younger than Baker’s daughter Stella, who turned 31 in August.

It seems Clark is already familiar with Baker’s children, with his sons Claude, 25, and Harry, 23, joining the duo for their Easter holiday in Byron last year.

Prior to Baker’s relationship with Clark, the Devil Wears Prada actor dated activewear designer Laura May Gibbs for nine months until their breakup in late 2021.

It was suggested in media reports Gibbs’ anti-vaxxer stance was a deal-breaker for Baker, after she attended an anti-vaccination protest on the border of Queensland and New South Wales.

Gibbs went on to release a statement denying the “false narrative” following their split.

“I never discuss my private life, but I will say this – the friendship and respect I share with [Simon] runs too deep for the media’s noise to have any true impact in our lives,” she said in a statement shared on Instagram in November 2021.

Baker, best known for starring in TV series The Mentalist, was previously married to Australian actor Rebecca Rigg until they announced their divorce in April 2020 after 22 years of marriage.

“We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives,” Baker and Rigg said in a joint statement at the time.

The couple had tied the knot in October 1998, before going on to welcome three children.

Elsewhere, Baker fronted the Mullumbimby Local Court in northern New South Wales in early September on a drink driving charge following an incident on July 20.

The actor pleaded guilty, and was released on a nine-month good behaviour bond with no conviction.
