Todd Liubinskas has shown his ex-fiancée Danika Mason exactly what she is missing after the Channel Nine sports presenter was seen for the first time with her new boyfriend, NRL star Liam Knight, earlier this month.
Danika sensationally called off her wedding to personal trainer Todd last year in September, and is now in the throes of a hot new romance with the Bulldogs prop.
Shirtless Todd, 40, flaunted his ripped abs as he did a seaside workout in just a pair of bright orange shorts at Bondi Beach on Wednesday.
He later wrapped a towel around his waist as he grabbed a coffee – and the attention of a female admirer – at a nearby café.
Daily Mail Australia revealed earlier this month that Danika, 33, has moved on with Liam, 29, just months after cancelling her nuptials with Todd.

The pair were pictured at The Butler restaurant in Sydney’s exclusive Potts Point on February 3.
She looked smitten with Liam, practically sitting on his lap at one stage while gazing wistfully into his eyes.
They began the evening sitting opposite one another, before Liam moved over to Danika’s side of the table and they cuddled up in full view of onlookers.
‘Her demeanour was that of a relaxed woman enjoying a pre-season fling with a younger specimen; his was that of a deer in headlights,’ one onlooker said.
In further evidence the two are an item, the pair follow each other on Instagram, and she has also liked the the 1.94m footballer’s most recent post.

Danika was set to marry Todd, 40, on October 27 last year.
But she cancelled the wedding just weeks before the ceremony was due to be held at Greystone Estate in the NSW Hunter Valley.
The exact reason for the couple’s split is unclear and has become a subject of great speculation among footy and media insiders.
It is unknown how long Danika, who hosts the Sunday Footy Show, has been romantically involved with Liam.
Liam, who hosts a podcast called Stuk in the Middle with fellow NRL star Toby Rudolf, signed for the Bulldogs last year.
He previously played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and the Canberra Raiders in the NRL.
Liam, who describes himself as a ‘business investor’, is a recovering alcoholic and revealed last year he was attending AA meetings twice a week.
He turned to prescription drugs and alcohol after a season-ending injury in 2022, and eventually sought help from Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou.
Along with South Sydney chief executive Blake Solly, Demetriou arranged for Liam to be admitted to a rehab centre for alcohol, drug and gambling addictions.

Liam spent 28 days at Foundation House in Lilyfield, in Sydney’s western suburbs, and, as of last year, was still returning to attend sessions twice a week.
‘I still go to AA meetings twice a week,’ he previously told The Daily Telegraph.
‘I get up the front and say, “I’m Liam, I’m an alcoholic.” People can judge me any way they want. It doesn’t faze me.’
Liam said he wasn’t worried about being recognised at the facility, nor did he have any qualms about disclosing the extent of his addiction issues.
His main concern was sharing his story in the hope it may help those suffering with mental health and reassure them ‘help is out there’ for those who need it

Danika sensationally called off her wedding to Todd in late September, just three weeks out from the big day.
The sideline reporter was said to be ‘beyond devastated’ and ‘completely heartbroken’ by the decision.
Todd, who reportedly sought refuge at his parents’ home in Sydney’s inner-west in the wake of the break-up, had only just celebrated his 40th birthday a week before the split.
‘Forty feels good!’ he captioned an Instagram post of his birthday celebrations.
‘Thanks for the love! An epic surprise,’ he added, before tagging Danika.
The post remains on his Instagram account.

Daily Mail Australia previously revealed Todd had asked Danika to give back her diamond engagement ring (pictured) through a third party because it was a family heirloom
Danika and Todd were last seen together arm-in-arm less than two weeks before the wedding was called off at an event to launch the new BYD electric car and showroom in Alexandria, in Sydney’s inner-south.
After their split, another ex-girlfriend of Todd’s – who had been in a relationship with him for seven years before he started dating Danika – offered her a message of support.
‘I can only hope that Danika hasn’t been blindsided like I was or going through something similar,’ the ex, who declined to be named, told Daily Mail Australia.
‘My heart goes out to her if she was.’
This publication previously revealed Todd had asked Danika to give back her diamond engagement ring through a third party because it was a family heirloom.
