Like many Hollywood types, Nathalie Kelley‘s dating history is peppered with high-profile romances, including actors, musicians and even a British politician.
So you could imagine our surprise when we heard a rumour around Sydney that the 40-year-old Peruvian-Australian actress was dating a little-known Miami hairdresser.
The star of Dynasty, The Vampire Diaries and Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift was last romantically linked to Sean Penn – who, at 65, is a quarter-century her senior.
These days she looks to be keeping more age-appropriate company, stepping out for a romantic stroll in North Bondi, Sydney, last week with her new beau, Tomer Kelner.
An understated gold ring on her wedding finger caught our eye, suggesting that things may already be serious for the couple – who in July celebrated their one-year anniversary of dating with a trip to Ibiza.

Nathalie was pictured with actor Sean Penn in December 2023
She is famous for her role as Neela in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
She also played Cristal Flores Carrington in The CW’s Dynasty
Tomer documented the romantic getaway on social media, sharing photos of the couple marvelling at a summer sunrise, dining with friends and partying on the beach.
At one stage during their outing in Sydney, Nathalie handed her phone to Tomer so he could film her posing by the water.
The video now appears on her feed, with no mention of the man behind the camera.
Tomer, on the other hand, is more than keen to show off his girlfriend.
In May, he uploaded a photo of Nathalie at the Motorheads premiere in California after lending his hairdressing services for her red carpet moment.
‘My most demanding client is also my favorite. Cut and color on @NatKelley by me,’ he captioned the post.
Tomer is Nathalie’s first confirmed boyfriend since she was linked to Sean Penn almost two years ago. In December 2023, the two actors sent the rumour mill into overdrive after they were spotted getting cosy at the beach in Miami.
Sean was pictured wrapping his arm around Nathalie’s back as they strolled along the sand, while she was seen affectionately putting her hand on his bicep.

But the two never publicly confirmed they were an item and things evidently fizzled between them.
She dated American music producer Dallas Austin from 2007 to 2013.
In 2016, she started dating Zach Roerig, her co-star from The Vampire Diaries, but the pair split up in 2017.
In 2018, Nathalie broke from tradition by proposing to boyfriend Jordan ‘Jordy’ Burrows, after dating for just a few months.
She told Harper’s BAZAAR at the time: ‘I ended up proposing to him one night in our hotel. It wasn’t planned and there was no ring.’
The couple wed in Potts Point, Sydney, later the same year. They quietly separated in June 2020.
Nathalie has not posted about her new boyfriend online, although he has shared posts featuring her

She was later linked to Zac Goldsmith, a member of the UK House of Lords, when the two were spotted together in London in 2023.
At the time, the former Tory minister was newly separated from his second wife, the banking heiress Alice Rothschild, with whom he has three children.
In recent years, Nathalie has pivoted from Hollywood to focus on her passion for climate and indigenous activism, with a focus on her Peruvian homeland.
