Claudia Karvan has been spotted for the first time since her surprise new romance with Toni Collette's ex-husband Dave Galafassi was revealed.

The actress, 52, was spotted running errands in Sydney on Tuesday and looked relaxed as she spent time with a friend.

Dressed in a striped blue and white sweater and jeans, the Bump actress looked effortlessly chic as she strolled with car keys in hand.

Claudia completed her look with a multicolored woven handbag, sneakers and a gold one, while she placed a pair of sunglasses on her forehead.

She also had a plastic bag containing what appeared to be a woven blanket.

The outing comes a day after Toni arrived in her hometown of Sydney ahead of the holidays.

Toni, who is on a break from filming Clint Eastwood's Juror No. 2, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a cryptic message that referenced heartbreak.

The actress reposted an image of a starry sky with the words, “I noticed a pattern so I made a choice.”

Last month, Claudia made headlines after debuting her steamy new romance with Dave.

Photos taken in late November showed the couple enjoying a romantic surf date at Bondi Beach – the same location where Dave previously debuted his relationship with his ex-chiropractor, Shannon Egan.

Claudia's last known romance was with ex-partner Jeremy Sparks, who she dated for 22 years before splitting in 2017.

The former couple maintains a harmonious relationship and co-parents their daughter Audrey, 22, and son Albee, 17.

Dave, meanwhile, shares daughter Sage, 15, and son Arlo, 12, with ex Toni.

Toni and Claudia have a lot in common.

Aside from their strikingly similar looks and their shared hometown of Sydney, the actresses have both enjoyed successful careers in film, television and on stage.

Toni is best known for her roles in Muriel's Wedding, Hereditary, Little Miss Sunshine and About A Boy.

Claudia is now best known for her roles in The Secret Life of Us, Love My Way, Bump and Daybreakers.

Dave, who was a drummer in an indie rock band when he met the About a Boy star, confirmed his split from Golden Globe winner Toni in December 2022 when he was pictured passionately kissing Egan on Sydney's Manly Beach.

Ny Breaking Australia contacted Toni's management about the photos and hours later she announced the couple had split in a joint statement on her recently reactivated Instagram account.

“It is with grace and gratitude that we announce our divorce,” the couple wrote.

“We are united in our decision and say goodbye with continued respect and care for each other.

“Our children are of the utmost importance to us and we will continue to thrive as a family, albeit in a different form. We are grateful for the space and love you grant us as we evolve and move peacefully through this transition. Thank you very much.'

The pair met in 2002 at the launch of Dave's band's debut album Metal Detector in Sydney, with their second meeting taking place just a few days later at a house party.

They married in Buddhist rituals at her estate in Berry on the NSW south coast, less than a year after they met, in January 2003.
