Last September, as reported by Daily Mail Australia, it was disclosed that Simon and Bridgette had reignited their love affair, following a short pause in their romantic involvement.

A resident from the northern part of Bondi is a few months junior compared to Stella, Baker’s daughter, who celebrated her 31st birthday in August.

Originally from Melbourne, the petite brunette has made a name for herself as a well-known photographer specializing in fashion and lifestyle.

She is additionally the joint creator and artistic head for Terry, a fashion brand specializing in resort wear, drawing inspiration from the relaxed vibes of European summers and the chic styles of 1970’s poolside attire.

For the past two years, she’s had an on-again, off-again relationship with the actor known for his roles in shows like “The Mentalist” and the popular Netflix series “Boy Swallows Universe.

Earlier this month, the pair, who took a short break during winter, were spotted back together. They could be seen transporting furniture into Baker’s vehicle at his residence in Tamarama, located in Sydney’s eastern district.

In November 2022, they were initially noticed together at Tamarama beach, and then they were also observed with Baker’s children, Claude (age 25) and Harry (age 23), during a vacation to Byron Bay during Easter of 2023.

In the crisp October air of Tamarama last year, my partner and I made quite an eye-catching duo as we sauntered down the street, hand-in-hand, towards a quaint local eatery. We opted for twinning all-white ensembles for the occasion, enjoying a delightful meal accompanied by steaming hot coffees.

Simon started dating Bridgette a year following his public announcement of divorce from the well-known Australian actress Rebecca Rigg, who is known for her roles in shows like A Country Practice, Blue Heelers, and L.A. Doctors.

For approximately two and a half decades, he was together with Rebecca. This period encompassed twenty-two years of matrimony, during which they resided in Los Angeles from 1995 until 2015. Afterward, they moved back to Sydney, but in January 2021, they announced their separation.

In their shared announcement, they expressed that they’ve continued to maintain a strong friendship, and their three offspring will forever hold a significant place in their hearts.

In the ’90s hit TV show “E Street”, they portrayed romantic partners, but surprisingly, they first encountered each other at a blind date back in 1991.
