Dinas New Relationship Sparks Mean Girl Backlash

If I get another life, I'm coming back as Dina Broadhurst.

At 50, the celebrity 'nude' artist is still the undisputed 'Body of the East' – all sun-kissed skin, effortless style and toned legs that go on for days.

But Dina isn't just a body; she's warm, charming and - in my experience – genuinely lovely. We've exchanged a few messages and she's always been nothing short of very sweet.

Anytime I need motivation to exercise, eat clean or to just sigh longingly at her body and style, I just scroll through her Instagram and drool (don't worry Dina, in a non-weird way I promise – I like men).

So this isn't going to be one of my more savage columns as Dina has never given me a reason to sharpen my knife – unlike some of my regular subjects in my past columns (I didn't say  or Constance Hall but I know you were thinking it…).

But – and there's always a but – even the most inoffensive of women fall prey to the gentle – but vicious – hum of eastern suburbs gossip, and as your trusty columnist, it is simply my role to relay what the mean girls are saying.

And by golly Miss Molly, they're mean.

Call it bitterness or downright jealousy, but the whispers on Transvaal Avenue are rife. No, they're not bitching about the length of Dina's skirts, or her latest G string bikini, but something a little more pointed – and that is her relationship with her new partner, Danny Tchalaby, the German entrepreneur, founder of investment angel syndicate Maverick Founders.

And no wonder the locals are gossiping - he's gorgeous. Younger, (Dina loves a toyboy – we have that in common at least), fit, tanned and European, and clearly totally smitten. One source tells me: 'Danny treats Dina very well and isn't intimidated by her success, unlike some of the men she has dated'.

That is blindingly obvious – he even sported a T-shirt with Dina splashed on the front in a red swimsuit holding a book called Lovers.

I mean, nothing reeks more of devotion than that, does it, ladies? Right back smack in the middle of Double Bay and all!

But here's the stickler: the smoochy photos, the posing, the very public canoodling, the headline-making holiday snaps (G string bikini included naturally, even a golf day with Dina's handsome son) - the mean girls are circling one idea and one idea only say my spies. 

This isn't about her devotion to the hunky Danny as much as it is about making her on-again off-again ex and white goods heir, John Winning Jr, just a little bit jealous.

John 'Herman' Winning Jr, wealthy heir to Winning Appliances (and who hasn't …) is one of Sydney's hottest catches, and he was Dina's man for a few years now, off and on. One source even called it an 'uncomfortable display of desperation.' Ouch.

Dina has had a few gorgeous men hanging off her arm – property developer Max Shepherd, sexy model Kengi Meert, but it was always John she would go back to. We all have that 'one' don't we? The one we can't let go entirely.

And look, they were a good, no – great, couple. They looked good together and Dina always looked pleased as punch with him.
