Aussie fashion designer Gabriella Pereira sparks romance rumours with ex Sony boss’ personal trainer son Sean Handlin

There’s a new power couple on the rise in Sydney’s elite social scene.

Celebrity Beare Park fashion designer and Sydney socialite Gabriella Pereira has sparked rumors of a new romance with Sean Handlin, a personal trainer and son of former Sony Music Australia boss Denis Handlin.

Friends close to the couple revealed this The Sunday Telegraph Sunday that things get serious between them.

“No one knows how long they have been together because they are both quite private,” an insider told the outlet. “But they’re definitely dating.”

Pereira, who has cemented her status as an ‘It’ girl in Sydney’s high-end fashion and social scene, is known for keeping her personal life under wraps.

Likewise, Sean has remained tight-lipped about his romantic life and has chosen to focus on his career in the fitness industry.

However, their recent interactions have caught the attention of those in the know.

“They see each other more often and it’s clear they enjoy spending time together,” another source said.

“There’s a clear connection there, and it’s not just one thing.”

Despite their low-key approach, fans and followers have eagerly picked up the clues.

The couple have been spotted at some of Sydney’s trendy hotspots and have even shared glimpses of their time together on Instagram stories, from casual brunch dates to scenic beach walks.

Yet neither of them has officially confirmed the status of their relationship.

Gabriella previously had a long-term relationship with comedian Chris Lilley.

Neither Gabriella nor her Logie-winning boyfriend had ever publicly discussed their two-year relationship nor publicly announced their split.

Gabriella was last seen taking Chris for a leisurely walk in February 2023.

The sighting came after Chris launched his comeback project Ja’miezing, a podcast based on his iconic schoolgirl character Ja’mie King, after four of his TV shows were axed from Netflix due to blackface depictions.

Gabriella is known for founding luxury clothing brand Beare Park, after launching her collection on the catwalk at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week in 2021.

Ny Breaking Australia has contacted Gabriella and Sean for comment.

Denis' other son, Pat Handlin, is now engaged to singer Samantha Jade, although the couple have not been spotted together for several weeks.
