It would seem Dina Broadhurst wasn’t the only beauty to step out with a new man on Friday night at a luxury Prada party in Sydney’s CBD.
Western Australian model Rebecca Jobson arrived on the high-society scene with her own fresh romance, though she tried to keep things under wraps.
Daily Mail understands the former Australia’s Next Top Model star is now seeing wealthy businessman Charles Hinckfuss after her split from husband Taj Burrow.
Rumours emerged in January that Rebecca, 36, and Taj, 47, had split, just months after they declared their love for one another on a romantic Maldives getaway.
The Yallingup surf king is believed to have quietly parted ways with his model wife and the mother of his two children, shocking the tight-knit South West scene.
It now seems the speculation has been confirmed after Rebecca was recently spotted getting loved-up with Charles, 41, who owns the furniture company MCM House.

The pair made sure they didn’t take photos together while at the event, with Rebecca posing with P.E Nation founder Pip Edwards instead.
However, our spies tell us the couple have struck up a relatively new relationship off the back of the model’s split from her husband of seven years.
Daily Mail also understands Rebecca, a Perth girl, has been spending more and more time in Sydney of late, where Charles is based.
Charles, who goes by ‘Chugga’ to his close friends, was once called Sydney’s most eligible bachelor and has a history of being linked to beautiful models.
He was spotted getting close with Victoria’s Secret model Elyse Taylor during a holiday in Noosa in January 2024.
Charles has also been known to rub shoulders with model Montana Cox, partying with the Top Model and her ex-boyfriend Jamie Valmorbida on a yacht in 2015.
He’s also believed to be close friends with millionaire chicken heir Johnny Ingham, having attended his European wedding to Rey Vakili in 2023.
Charles, who originally hails from Melbourne, has a sister named Lucy who was once married to Icebergs restaurateur Maurice Terzini.

Does celebrity relationship drama reflect real-life struggles or is it all just for show?

Daily Mail has reached out to Rebecca and Charles for comment.
Whispers of trouble in paradise between Rebecca and Taj began when the model, who shot to fame in 2008, reverted to her maiden name – Jobson – on social media.
When asked about her name change and the rumours surrounding her marriage split, Rebecca made no denials but politely declined to comment.
‘No thank you,’ she told Daily Mail.
The couple, who married twice, first tied the knot in an intimate elopement in late 2018, after Taj proposed with a Burger Ring.
They arranged the ceremony quickly in order to include Rebecca’s mother, who was terminally ill.
They would later stage a star-studded knees-up in the Margaret River wine region in February 2019, with friends flying in from around the globe for the lavish celebration at Caves Road Collective (then known as Black Brewing Co.) in Wilyabrup, WA.
The guest list included Grammy-nominated DJ Fisher and his wife Chloe, nightclub wrangler Shane Moran, and fellow Top Model alum Montana Cox.

Rebecca announced the wedding on Instagram with gushing words and a gallery of dreamy photos.
‘My heart is so full,’ she wrote at the time. ‘I can’t believe how lucky I am to have struck gold like this. So thankful for all of these special, special humans.’
The couple went public with their romance in 2014, before welcoming their first child the following year.
They now share two children, Arabella Rose and two-year-old Robbie Lou, and were seen as one of WA’s most popular couples.
More recently, Rebecca ramped up her travel, appearing in photos with socialite Jade Yarborough, AFL WAG Jessie Murphy and interior designer Chloe Matters.
The former Bondi model, who is originally from Wollongong, has also been building her empire as the founder of the gender-neutral clothing label Moda Mitsu.
