Jodhi Meares, the ex-wife of rich lister James Packer, sported a low cut leopard print top and dark rings beneath her eyes as she trekked through Sydney Airport on Saturday.
The former swimwear model turned fashion designer, 53, was spotted departing Sydney with just one large Louis Vuitton bag—the day after news of Packer’s latest relationship bust-up broke.
She now lives in Byron Bay, and sold off her gorgeous harbourside pad in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs for a whopping $5.2million in February.
Johdi looked lost in thought as she pushed an airport trolley stacked with an oversized handbag and the $4200 LV travel bag through domestic departures.
She went make up free for the flight, wearing a pair of comfortable yellow track pants and thongs, and let her unbrushed brunette locks hang loose over her shoulders.
The Tigerlily founder cut a stereotypical Byron Bay figure as she departed her native Sydney, accessorising her casual ensemble with a gold heart necklace, a cross pendant, and green gemstone necklace of some kind.

Aside from the lone piece of luxury luggage, Johdi opted for ‘stealth wealth’ dressing after netting a whopping $400,000 profit on the sale of her two-bedroom home in ritzy Watson’s Bay last week.
She famously married James Packer in 1999 before splitting from him in 2002.
The couple, who remained friends following the breakdown of their three-year marriage in 2002, are reportedly still close.
Four years ago, Woman’s Day reported that Packer still had Meares’ number on ‘speed dial’ and ‘called her all the time’ when he needed support.
More recently, the rarely-seen fashion designer was spotted spending Christmas and New Year’s with her billionaire ex in Los Angeles in 2023.
That same month, Packer tightened his already tight-knit inner circle, elevating Johdi alongside his second wife, Erica.
Now, the famed Australian media and gambling tycoon, 57, has reportedly split from American model Renee Blythewood for the second time.
The billionaire, who started dating the blonde beauty near the end of 2023 after they were introduced by a member of his inner circle, said in July he was ‘looking forward to the future’ with Blythewood.

According to news.com on Friday, the reclusive businessman has already moved onto another flame.
Packer and Blythewood are believed to have broken up in February, just a few weeks after the couple attended a dinner with US president Donald Trump and Tesla boss Elon Musk.
Blythewood photographed the intimate gathering in January, which took place at Trump’s Palm Beach estate Mar-a-Lago, and posted it to her Instagram account, tipping off the media about the private dinner.
In the image, Trump could be seen engrossed in conversation, with Musk and Packer’s Ratpac business partner Brett Ratner also in attendance.
The photos were later deleted and it’s said Packer and Blythewood split just a few weeks later.
Packer now also counts Musk among his neighbours, after splurging a whopping $174million on seven bedroom, three-storey mansion in Los Angeles two weeks ago.
Located in ritzy Bel Air and designed in the style of a French chateau, the sprawling property features 14 bathrooms and has parking for 20 cars.
According to some sources, the Australian billionaire, who met Blythewood in 2023, has already moved on to another former flame, reported news.com.au on Friday

Other new neighbours include Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, and Jay Z.
James and Johdi tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Sydney in 1999, where around 750 guests attended and Elton John performed.
She was subsequently in a relationship with singer Jon Stevens from 2013 to 2015, and they were even engaged.
Jodhi was then briefly linked to Sydney property developer Michael Reid in May 2019 and just two months later, debuted her relationship with Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell—who is now married to Miley Cyrus’ mother Trish.
She is the founder of her own successful fashion brand called The Upside, which she began in 2014.
