It seems the dating pool in Sydney's eastern suburbs is getting smaller and smaller. 

After news broke over the weekend that Dina Broadhurst's ex, appliance heir John 'Herman' Winning Jr, had moved on and was now seeing Big Brother star Holly Young, Daily Mail can reveal that the personality was once friends with the nude artist.

Back in May 2025, Holly and Dina, 50, were spotted looking very chuffed to be in each other's company at the Silver Party – a fundraising soirée for the Sydney Children's Hospital. 

In fact, Holly, 31, took to Instagram to document the occasion, sharing a carousel of images that featured Dina prominently.

Wearing a very revealing silver gown, Dina was seen smiling broadly as she cuddled up to Holly. 

Curiously, the pair still follow each other on Instagram, despite Holly now dating Dina's ex.
