Toni Collette’s ex-husband Dave Galafassi is continuing to pack on the PDA with fellow Australian actress Claudia Karvan.
The 47-year-old musician, who split from Toni, 51, late last year, confirmed his shock new romance with Claudia, 52, earlier this month when they were spotted kissing during a surfing date at Bondi Beach.
And just days after the sighting, the pair returned to the very same beach to put on another cosy display.
Images show Claudia playfully piggy-backing Dave and wrapping her arms around his waist as they floated in the water.
The couple later emerged from the ocean together before drying themselves off on the sand.

‘It is with grace and gratitude that we announce we are divorcing,’ the pair wrote.

‘We’re united in our decision and part with continuing respect and care for each other.
‘Our kids are of paramount importance to us and we will continue to thrive as a family, albeit a different shape. We’re thankful for the space and love you grant us as we evolve and move through this transition peacefully. Big thanks.’
The pair met in 2002 at the launch of Galafassi’s band’s debut album Metal Detector in Sydney, and their second encounter came just a few days later at a house party.
They were married with Buddhist rituals on her property at Berry on the NSW south coast less than a year after they met, in January 2003.
