Ageing like fine wine! Simon Baker, 55, shows off his buff body as he takes a dip with a male pal in Sardinia after his age gap romance with Bridgette Clark, 30, was revealed
He is set to turn 56 in a matter of weeks, and Simon Baker proved he is ageing like fine wine as he went for a dip in Sardinia over the weekend. The Devil Wears Prada hunk, 55, flaunted his chiselled abs and muscular biceps as he went swimming with a male pal. Simon seemed to have forgotten to top up his sunscreen and appeared slightly sunburnt on his body. He wore a pair of trendy boardshorts that complemented his buff body as he continued to enjoy his summer break. Not seen with Simon was his girlfriend Bridgette Clark, 30. Daily Mail Australia revealed in September last year that Simon had rekindled his romance with Bridgette after the couple took a brief break from their relationship. The north Bondi local is several months younger than his daughter, Stella, who turned 31 in August. The blonde originally hails from Melbourne and is a popular fashion and lifestyle photographer. She is also the co-founder and creative director of Terry, a resort-wear label inspired by 'European summers and 70s poolside attire'. She has been dating the actor - who rose to fame with his hit US TV show The Mentalist and more recently starred in the hit Netflix drama Boy Swallows Universe - on and off for the last two years. The couple had a brief hiatus, but were seen moving furniture into his van at his home in Tamarama in Sydney's east last year and have been seen on subsequent outings since. They were first spotted together at Tamarama Beach in November 2022 and were later seen with his sons - Claude, 25, and Harry, 23 - during an Easter trip to Byron Bay in 2023. Last October, the pair stepped out in all-white matching outfits in Tamarama and were walking arm-in-arm to a local café for a bite to eat and a coffee. Simon's relationship with Bridgette began the year after announcing his divorce from Australian actress Rebecca Rigg, star of A Country Practice, Blue Heelers and LA Doctors. He was with Rebecca for 29 years, including 22 years of marriage, while they lived in Los Angeles from 1995 until 2015, before returning to Sydney and later announcing their divorce in January 2021. 'We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives,' they said in a joint statement at the time. The couple played love interests on the popular 1990s TV series E Street, although they actually met on a blind date in 1991.
