They publicly debuted their romance in May after dating secretly for several weeks.

And Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins, 70, and his younger girlfriend Mia Hawkswell, 47, proved they are still going strong as they arrived home from Hawaii on Sunday.

The pair looked smitten as they packed on the PDA at Sydney Airport, cuddling up as they loaded up their luggage at the baggage carousel.

The veteran entertainment reporter looked typically dapper for his long-haul flight – wearing black skinny leg jeans, a black blazer with pocket handkerchief and black suede boots.

Dickie, who sported a deep holiday tan, also shielded his eyes in the terminal with a pair of dark designer sunglasses. 

Meanwhile, makeup artist-to-the-stars Mia dressed casually in black longline skirt,  T-shirt, black bomber jacket and Adidas sneakers.

She showed off her natural beauty by going makeup free and tied her blonde locks back in a casual bun.

The entire Wilkins clan celebrated his 70th birthday at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. 

Dickie broke his silence on his new relationship with Mia in May after they were pictured holding hands.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, he said things between the pair were blissful.

‘Life is good. I’m happy. Things are good,’ he said.

Dickie, who is usually quiet when it comes to his private life, added: ‘It’s a bit weird when you have people sticking their heads out of bushes, but that’s okay.’

Daily Mail Australia broke the news of their relationship after the Channel Nine star was seen with Mia at his friend, Annika Martyn’s, birthday party.

In a video shared to Instagram by Annika, Richard was seen stepping off a boat hand-in-hand with Mia.

Mia also shared a cryptic post to her Instagram Stories, showing her clinking glasses with a man off camera, which she captioned: ‘All you need is love’.

A source told Daily Mail Australia they have been dating for several weeks, and have so far kept their romance low-key.

Mia reportedly recently split from a long-term partner, while Dickie broke up with his longtime girlfriend Nicola Dale in January.

According to her website, Mia runs classes known as The Over 40s Club, which offers makeup and beauty advice for older women.

She has worked with big names in the entertainment industry including Pamela Anderson, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Florence Welch, Jimmy and Jane Barnes, Black Eyed Peas and Dean Lewis.

She also has a popular TikTok account where she offers makeup advice for mature skin.

Dickie previously dated Over the Back Fence podcaster Nicola for four years, before news of their split was confirmed in January.
