The Sell: Dina Broadhurst and Max Shepherd sell Darling Point apartment pre-auction
Don't miss out on the headlines from NSW. Followed categories will be added to My News. Given the couple's propensity for their Instagrammable lives to be also regularly snapped by the paparazzi, the recent on-again/off-again listing of the Darling Point apartment co-owned by nude artist Dina Broadhurst and her ex-partner, builder Max Shepherd, kept gossip column readers riveted for months until its recent sale. The price guidance for the Etham Ave garden apartment sat at $11.5m for its abandoned December auction, and by the time of its rescheduled June auction, had dropped to $8.4m. It apparently fetched $8m in its undisclosed pre-auction negotiations this month. Dina Broadhurst and Max Shepherd have sold their Darling Point apartment pre-auction.

The duplex apartment, with 280sq m of indoor-outdoor living space, had cost $5.2m unrenovated in 2022, which was followed by a 'Cinderella transformation' by emerging interior designer, Josh Knight from Glebe. 'No expense was spared to deliver a home of high-end luxury showcasing bespoke design by Studiojos,' its marketing advised. Though the couple had split by mid-2023 after 4½ years together, NSW Land Registry documents indicate that about April 2024, the duo secured second mortgage funding from Greg Reed's Benchmark Property Finance.

By last September, it sat at $1.16m with the funding agreement specifying the apartment needed to be listed for sale within five months with a 'reputable agent'. By February this year, the loan expiry date had been extended to August. It has also emerged that veteran Sydney businessman Basil Sellers had separately lent Shepherd $260,000 in 2022, with the amount owing at $358,000 last month. Shepherd moved on and stepped out with his Vanderpump Rules star girlfriend Vail Bloom, while Broadhurst remains devoted to her 365,000-strong Instagram following and her risqué self-portraits. One of her artworks has just been installed in the conference room of Ray White Touma Taylor in Redfern. APARTMENT PLAYED ITS PART Actor Belinda McClory has sold her Potts Point investment apartment through local agent Nuri Shik. Set on the fifth level of the 1920s Wintergarden complex, the 73sq m apartment fetched $1.07 million shortly after being passed in at $1.01 million. It was bought by Panayota Theodore from Panayoyo Studio. Shik last sold the apartment in 2000 for $230,000, shortly after McClory had appeared in the first Matrix film in 1999. SWAN FLIES TO KEEP RARE AIR Former Sydney Swans chairman Peter Weinert has spent $14.8 million to protect his hillside Rose Bay harbour views. He has bought the stratum air rights above the neighbouring four-storey development of Ron Shulkin's RNB Property Group, which bought the New South Head Rd cottage site for $16.7 million in 2023. Under new zoning laws, six storeys are now possible, or even eight with affordable housing. SONG CHANGES WITH A NEW ERA The three-bedroom, two-bathroom Elizabeth Bay harbourfront home of the late EMI music executive Ken East and his widow Dolly, who died last August, has fetched $5.475 million. The 1929 Spanish Mission Beverley Hall complex had traded at $680,000 in 1987. On his 2007 death, singing legend Elton John described Ken as 'one of the greatest record men I have ever met'.

Simone Holtznagel rubs shoulders with Tyra Banks as she attends glamorous VIP opening of the supermodel's Sydney ice cream store
Simone Holtznagel was in esteemed company on Thursday night. The model and mum-of-one stepped out for the VIP launch of SMiZE & DREAM Ice Cream, the new Sydney store founded by American supermodel Tyra Banks. The 31-year-old stunned at the shindig, holding her own alongside Tyra in a black sweetheart corset that showed off some bust. Simone added a pair of skin tight black jeans with a flared bell bottom and a pair of strappy gold heels. For makeup, the blonde chose a clean look with a pink lipstick and wore her hair down in soft waves. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The stunner recently sparked romance rumours with Dina Broadhurst's Eastern Suburbs property developer ex-boyfriend Max Shepherd. According to The Sunday Telegraph, Simone was seen cosying up to Max at Justin Hemmes' Silver Party charity gala, fuelling speculation that the pair are quietly dating. While the relationship is still in its early stages and yet to be made official, sources tell the publication that the two are already 'smitten' and have been spending lots of time together. Simone is no stranger to headlines – especially since her high-profile breakup with celebrity trainer Jono Castano, with whom she shares a daughter. The pair ended things last year after a tumultuous on-off relationship. Meanwhile, Max Shepherd, 32, has carved out a name for himself in the property world and was previously linked to Broadhurst, a famed Sydney-based artist known for her nude self-portraits and edgy art installations. He also dated US actress Vail Bloom. Interestingly, Simone doesn't appear to be Max's usual type – with the developer historically gravitating towards older, brunette women, a far cry from Simone's signature blonde bombshell aesthetic. The timing of the romance comes as Max and his ex Dina are in the process of offloading their multimillion-dollar Rose Bay apartment, which they purchased together in 2022 for $5.2 million. The luxury two-bedroom, two-bathroom property was initially listed in November with an eye-watering price tag of $11.5 million after undergoing a dramatic high-end renovation. But six months on, the price has been slashed to $8.4 million, according to property records. Simone's younger sister Madeline Holtznagel is currently dating hospitality tycoon and Merivale CEO Justin Hemmes, 51 and recently they welcomed their first child together. Simone previously dated celebrity personal trainer Jono, 34, before the pair ended things late last year. Jono has since moved on with Love Triangle star Emily Ryder, with the two debuting their relationship on social media. Earlier this month Jono was spotted enjoying a romantic night out with Emily at the Sydney Opera House. The pair have reportedly been dating for several months and are taking things 'very slowly'. Sources close to the couple say Jono and Emily bonded over their shared passion for fitness and adventure, and are often seen working out together.

Nude artist Dina Broadhurst risks an Instagram ban after she bares all in racy selfie
Dina Broadhurst is known to take a racy snap or two - but this one might just take the cake. The nude artist, 48, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share an X-rated bathroom selfie that bared all. In the picture, Dina went topless as she photographed herself in a low-positioned mirror. The Sydney socialite left little to the imagination as she pulled down her white leotard top to reveal her breasts and chiselled stomach. Her brown hair fell over her shoulder as she strategically posed for the iPhone-shot mirror selfie. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Wall Flower,' she captioned the post, alluding to the flowery wallpaper in the shot. Her fans flooded the comments section with praise for the sexy snap, as well as an array of heart and fire emojis. Dina recently made headlines after she dramatically slashed the listing price of her dazzling pad in Sydney's eastern suburbs by $3.1 million. The social media star had originally taken the sprawling Darling Point home to market for a whopping $11.5million. And now, in a move that appears to be an attempt to lure buyers, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is going to auction next month with a price guide of $8.4million. The brown-haired beauty, who owns the prized home with her former boyfriend Max Shepherd, pulled the listing in January. The exes, who parted in 2023, sent tongues wagging when they reunited to sunbathe at Kutti Beach, where Dina went topless, while working together to find a buyer for the property. Originally purchasing the home together in 2022 for $5.2million, Dina renovated the harbourside property into a luxury home studio. Dina told Daily Mail Australia exclusively in January that she made the move to yank the listing because she was not sure she wanted to part with it. 'The property has been pulled for a few months as I am considering retaining the property for myself,' she said. 'I'm doing a trial living here over the summer until I work out if I will keep it or buy overseas next year instead.' 'The property has had ample interest and a decision will be made shortly as to whether we proceed with the sale or not,' she added. Dina pulled the newly-renovated pad from the market just two months after it was listed, and one month before it was set to go to auction. At the time, insiders were predicting that the $11.5million price tag could fall.

'Nude artist' Dina Broadhurst goes topless and poses in nothing but a G-string as she shows off her massive designer shopping haul
Nude model Dina Broadhurst has taken to social media to show off her amazing figure - and what appears to be the bounty from a long weekend shopping spree. Posting the image on Monday, the 48-year-old can be seen kneeling on a bed surrounded by half a dozen designer shopping bags including products from Chanel, Alaïa, and Bottega Veneta. Posing in nothing but a G-string, Dina is shown digging into one of the bags so she can try on a new purchase. Sharing to her Instagram, Dina captioned the saucy pic, which shows an eyeful of side boob, 'Shopaholic 2'. She also shared the same photo in black and white to her stories. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Dina Broadhurst and ex Max Shepherd put their Darling Point apartment under the hammer last week. The former couple have been trying to sell since last November. As exclusively revealed by society scribe Lucy Manly, the pair, who dated from 2018 to 2023 and share a 15-year age gap, found a buyer for their renovated three-bedroom unit just before it was scheduled to go to auction on Thursday. It sold for 'around' its $8.4million guide, according to Highland Double Bay director David Malouf who handled the seven-month campaign. They initially couldn't find a buyer at $11.5million, so the listing was pulled in January, with Dina telling us she'd had second thoughts about letting the unit go. The apartment - described in its listing as having 'house-like proportions' - was rescheduled with a more realistic guide and eventually found a buyer, whose identity remains unknown. Originally purchasing the home together in 2022 for $5.2million, Dina renovated the harbourside property into a luxury home studio. Dina told Daily Mail Australia exclusively in January that she made the move to yank the listing because she was not sure she wanted to part with it. 'The property has been pulled for a few months as I am considering retaining the property for myself,' she said. 'I'm doing a trial living here over the summer until I work out if I will keep it or buy overseas next year instead.' 'The property has had ample interest and a decision will be made shortly as to whether we proceed with the sale or not,' she added. Dina pulled the newly-renovated pad from the market just two months after it was listed, and one month before it was set to go to auction. At the time there insiders were predicting that the $11.5million price tag could fall. In November the Wentworth Courier reported that Dina's renovation on the property took two years and involved a complete interior demolition. Dina showed off the garden apartments highlights in a video she shared to Instagram as the pad was listed. Located a mere 3kms from the CBD, the property features stunning views of nearby Double Bay. Highlights include vast living spaces, soaring ceilings and a thoughtful open plan design that opens out to a private garden. There's also a gourmet marble kitchen, oak floors and vintage Murano wall lights.
