In the wake of his high-profile split from Lauren Sánchez – now famously married to – the multimillionaire Hollywood power broker, 61, has emerged looking sharper, fitter and more effortlessly stylish than ever.
Insiders have even credited the so-called 'Aussie girlfriend effect' for his striking glow-up.
But the transformation didn't happen overnight.
Instead, it was a gradual shift that began as Pia, 42, brought her laid-back, health-conscious Australian lifestyle into Patrick's world.
From early morning workouts, clean eating and a more balanced approach to the relentless pace of Hollywood, Patrick has certainly embraced the Down Under way of life - and it shows in his well-muscled physique and glowing skin.

Those close to Patrick say he's not only in the best shape of his life, but is carrying himself with a renewed confidence that has turned heads across ' elite circles.
Observers have also pointed to some more subtle physical changes.
Patrick appears noticeably more sun-kissed these days - whether from time spent outdoors or strategic spray tanning - while his face looks fuller and more rested, softening the sharper, slightly drawn appearance he once had.
Then there's his complexion.
In earlier photos, he often had visible redness and pigmentation under his eyes, something that now seems significantly reduced.
As cosmetic doctor Naomi McCullum explains, the shift reflects a broader trend among older men investing in subtle, cumulative treatments rather than dramatic overhauls.
'We're seeing more and more of this 'quiet optimisation' glow-up in men in their 50s and 60s,' she says.
'From the images, his skin tone has changed from pale grey to more bronzed, although I'd remind everyone that tanning is not ideal long-term from a skin health perspective.

'For me, it's honestly the best, most heartwarming thing to see the blending of four teenagers who were strangers just a few years ago,' she told Marie Claire Australia.
'We sit around the table every night, enjoying each other's company, having a laugh as we share our stories. We spent Thanksgiving together; how lucky are we to have all found each other?'
Pia also admitted she leans on her family during times of hardship, such as when they lost a house during last year's California wildfires.
