After calling it quits with her on-again-off-again boyfriend John ‘Herman’ Winning Jr, Dina Broadhurst hasn’t wasted time finding herself a new toyboy.
The 50-year-old artist and socialite was papped sunbathing topless with her younger squeeze Danny Tchalaby at Hermit Beach in Vaucluse, eastern Sydney, on Saturday.
The age-gap couple – Danny appears to be in his early 30s – put on an amorous display as they enjoyed a relaxed few hours in the secluded harbourside bay.
After taking a dip in the ocean, Dina returned to her partner sans bikini top, clearly enjoying the perks of having the beach to themselves.
In fact, the only presence besides the couple that balmy afternoon was a paparazzo looming nearby – not that headline-magnet Dina seemed to mind.
As the day wore on, the pair packed up and went for a ride through the ritzy suburb’s tree-lined streets on neon-green Lime e-bikes.

Dina wore a sports bra, denim cut-offs and sneakers, while Danny kept things casual in a navy tank with loose pants and a woven shoulder bag.
Their romance has been the talk of Sydney’s social scene, with many believing Dina is flaunting her strapping new bloke to get back at her ex John, who is now reportedly involved with Big Brother Australia star Holly Young.
Dina and Danny made their debut as a couple at a party hosted by Italian luxury fashion house Prada in Sydney’s CBD on Friday.
Not only was it their first sighting together, but it also marked Dina’s return to the social scene since splitting from John.
So who is Danny?
An entrepreneur from Germany, he founded the angel investment syndicate Mavericks Founders in 2015.
Before this, he held various roles in tech and finance. He seems to keep a low profile online, with social media accounts set to private.
Before becoming a full-time angel investor – someone who makes early investments in start-up companies – Danny worked as an advisor at SKEDit, a WhatsApp messaging automation platform.

What do you think motivates high-profile women like Dina to seek out much younger partners?
For about a year in 2023, he also worked in venture growth for business consultant Hoxton Projects, and was a co-founder and CEO of Datra from 2017 to 2019.
Danny appears to have begun his career in tech as an ‘entrepreneur-in-residence’ at the ideas‑driven collective Pulilab in 2012, following his graduation from EBS Business School in Oestrich‑Winkel, Hesse, Germany.
He then began working as a business analyst before moving to Budapest.
After a year in the Hungarian capital, it seems he returned to Germany to work at Deutsche Bank as a financial technology advisor for a little over four years.
It’s unclear exactly how long Dina and Danny have been seeing each other, but he first appeared on the Sydney society radar in February.
At the time, Dina’s love life was the subject of whispers after John unexpectedly deleted his Instagram account following reports his ‘rock star’ social media presence was causing friction at his family business, Winning Appliances.
Dina had also stopped posting about John on her socials, with their last photo together appearing on her account in January.

‘Herman’, as he is widely known, is the son of appliances mogul John Winning Sr, whose family is worth an estimated $700 million.
John took over as CEO of Winning Appliances in 2011 at the age of 22, spearheading its expansion into Australia’s largest online appliance retailer.
The company was founded in 1906 by his great-grandfather, Richard William Winning, and remains a powerhouse in the kitchen and laundry appliance sector.
He began dating Dina in March 2024, but had called it quits by the end of the year, only to rekindle things in August 2025.
At the time, the so-called ‘nude artist’ told Stellar magazine: ‘I’m in a relationship.
‘After spending some time apart, we’ve reconnected with a much deeper bond. And we’re happier than ever.’
This wasn’t news to DailyMail+ subscribers, who already learned of their reunion four months earlier when we pictured them on a double date with Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne at Mimi’s in Coogee.
