WA model Rebecca Jobson steps out with a new wealthy playboy boyfriend at Prada event in Sydney – following her split from surf king Taj Burrow after seven years of marriage

Oh my gosh, I was obsessed with finding out who Dina Broadhurst was with at that Prada party! Apparently, she wasn’t the only one debuting a new guy – it seems a few gorgeous women were with dates that night in Sydney’s city center. I’ve been scouring photos ever since, trying to figure out everyone who was there!

Western Australian model Rebecca Jobson recently started a new relationship, but she’s been keeping it private.

According to the Daily Mail, former Australia’s Next Top Model contestant Tahnee Atkinson is dating businessman Charles Hinckfuss, following her separation from husband Taj Burrow.

News began circulating in January that Rebecca, 36, and Taj, 47, had broken up, only a few months after publicly displaying their affection during a romantic trip to the Maldives.

The famous surfer from Yallingup is reportedly separated from his wife and the mother of their two children, news that has surprised many in the local South West community.

Recent sightings of Rebecca and Charles, the 41-year-old owner of MCM House, suggest they are a couple, confirming previous rumors.

You know, I’ve noticed a trend with couples wanting to maintain a bit of mystery! At a recent event, this particular pair deliberately avoided any photos together. Instead, Rebecca opted to pose with Pip Edwards, the founder of P.E Nation – a smart move if you ask me, keeping things a little more low-key and letting everyone focus on their individual successes.

We’ve learned the model recently started dating someone new, shortly after ending her seven-year marriage.

Sources say Rebecca, who lives in Perth, has been visiting Sydney more often recently, as that’s where Charles is located.

Charles, known as ‘Chugga’ by his friends, was once considered Sydney’s most desirable bachelor and has been romantically connected to several models.

In January 2024, he was seen looking cozy with Victoria’s Secret model Elyse Taylor while on vacation in Noosa.

Charles has been seen socializing with model Montana Cox, and in 2015, they were photographed partying together on a yacht with her then-boyfriend, Jamie Valmorbida.

He’s reportedly good friends with Johnny Ingham, who comes from the wealthy Ingham chicken family, and even went to his wedding in Europe to Rey Vakili last year.

Charles is originally from Melbourne and has a sister, Lucy, who was previously married to Maurice Terzini, the owner of the Icebergs restaurant.

Daily Mail has reached out to Rebecca and Charles for comment. 

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the news about Rebecca and Taj, and it seems things might be rocky between them. The first sign? Rebecca, who first became well-known back in 2008, quietly changed her name back to her maiden name, Jobson, on all her social media accounts – a move that definitely got people talking!

Rebecca didn’t confirm or deny the rumors about her marriage ending, and she chose not to discuss her name change when asked.

‘No thank you,’ she told Daily Mail.

The couple actually got married twice. They first had a small, private ceremony in late 2018, after Taj proposed with a Burger Ring as a playful gesture.

They arranged the ceremony quickly in order to include Rebecca’s mother, who was terminally ill.

In February 2019, the couple celebrated with a large, glamorous party in the Margaret River wine region. Friends traveled from all over the world to join them at Caves Road Collective (formerly Black Brewing Co.) in Wilyabrup, Western Australia.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe who was there! Fisher, the amazing DJ – he’s been nominated for a Grammy, can you believe it?! – and his wife Chloe were both there! And Shane Moran, who basically runs the best nightclubs, was working the event, which meant I got a glimpse of him! Plus, Montana Cox from Top Model was there too – she’s even more stunning in person! I was practically starstruck the whole night!

Rebecca announced the wedding on Instagram with gushing words and a gallery of dreamy photos.

She shared how incredibly happy she was, saying she felt unbelievably lucky to have found such wonderful people in her life and was deeply grateful for them.

The couple started dating publicly in 2014 and had their first child in 2015.

The couple, who are parents to Arabella Rose and two-year-old Robbie Lou, were well-loved in Western Australia.

Rebecca has been traveling more lately, and photos have surfaced of her with several well-known figures, including socialite Jade Yarborough, Jessie Murphy (wife of an Australian rules football player), and interior designer Chloe Matters.

Originally from Wollongong, the former Bondi model is also the founder of Moda Mitsu, a gender-neutral clothing brand, and has been growing her business.
