Dina Broadhurst and John Winning Jr Split Again

He's the company boss who likes to work hard and play hard.

But that not everyone at appliances company Winning Group was thrilled by CEO John 'Herman' Winning Jr's flashy lifestyle and 'rock star' Instagram posts, we fear we may have set the cat among the pigeons.

You see, John seems to have now deleted his Instagram account.

While there are many reasons why he might have done this, we noted in January that one particular shot of John and girlfriend Dina Broadhurst irked company insiders.

He was captured in a snap taken inside his walk-in wardrobe, dressed in drop-crotch pants, a leopard-print shirt and sunglasses that would make jealous.

It was certainly more Fashion Week than appliances heir, and not the sort of polished, presidential look some within Winning HQ would quietly prefer.

Sydney gossips are speculating that Dina Broadhurst and John Winning Jr have split again 

John has vanished from Dina's regular Instagram updates. On Monday evening, Dina uploaded this Instagram Story of a mystery man sitting opposite her as they dined at a restaurant

But his absence from Instagram isn't the only thing we've noticed. 

John hasn't appeared on socialite Dina's curated Instagram feed lately. It could simply be her respecting his privacy - or it could possibly be another break-up.

Dina, 50, and John, in his early 40s, have been dating on and off for about two years, but last August, Dina  that they had 'reconnected with a much deeper bond' and were 'happier than ever'.

Whether they remain so is now being questioned in the gossipy eastern suburbs.

If they have broken up, Dina hasn't exactly been living like a wallflower. 

On Monday evening, she uploaded an Instagram Story of a mystery man sitting opposite her as they dined at a restaurant. It disappeared after 24 hours, as all Stories do, but screenshots were soon being shared widely in elite Sydney group chats.

The Daily Mail has contacted Dina and John for comment and clarification on the state of their relationship.

'Herman', as he is widely known, is the son of appliances mogul John Winning Sr, whose family is worth an estimated $700 million.

A few weeks ago, Dina and John raised eyebrows after she uploaded a photo of the couple posing in her walk-in wardrobe. (Pictured in January 2026) 

'I'm in a relationship,' she said.

'After spending some time apart, we've reconnected with a much deeper bond. And we're happier than ever.'

It comes after sources revealed Winning top brass were hoping that John would cultivate a more statesmanlike presence befitting the helm of a household-name company. Instead, he seems to project an image of 'work hard, play harder'.

We emphasise, however, that he is by all accounts a competent company CEO - simply one with an active social life. 

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, with the family fortune estimated at $700million.
