Erica Packer and Shannon Bennett enjoy a Brady Bunch style family outing with their combined nine children on the Gold Coast
Erica Packer, the glamorous ex-wife of James Packer, is having a blast with her new love interest, celebrity chef Shannon Bennett.
And on Saturday, Erica, 46, was spotted on a Brady Bunch-style family outing with their combined children on the Gold Coast.
To get into the holiday spirit, they represented their family with custom “Team Packer” and “Team Bennett” T-shirts.
The group was seen hugging relatives farewell after attending a luncheon.
Packer's family wore t-shirts with a printed photo of Erica's 2006 hit single I Spy, while Bennet's wore a photo of an image of South Park character Randy Marsh.

Erica, 46, looked casual yet chic in the tailored shirt and white jeans, and her dark hair was worn down.
48-year-old Shannon, the ex-partner of actress Madeleine West, paired his look with a custom red and white baseball cap and brown shorts.
Eric and Shannon are reportedly staying at Bennett's $2 million beachfront property on the Belongil Beach Peninsula, with his six children Phoenix, Hendrix, Xascha, Xanthe, Xahlia and Margaux.
Erica's children Indigo, Jackson and Emmanuelle – who she shares with ex James – are also apparently staying at the sprawling mansion.

James and Erica got married in 2007 and later split in 2013, but they are on good terms as they are parents to their three children together.
Erica reportedly received a $100 million divorce payment, and bought a family home in Los Angeles shortly after the breakup.
James also bought a mansion in Los Angeles worth $80 million so he could be closer to Erica and their children when he was in town.

“James' main priority at this time is the well-being of his children,” a family friend said The Daily Telegraph at the time of the divorce.

When Erica visits Sydney, she often lives with her former husband and their children in James' $72 million Crown penthouse.
The ex-couple are so close that they often go on family holidays together.
In contrast, Shannon's relationship with ex-partner Madeleine is not so amicable.
Shannon, who shot to fame on MasterChef Australia, split from Madeleine in September 2018 after 13 years of dating.

Madeleine later stated that the divorce process “became love-toxic.”
Two years after their breakup, she left Melbourne and moved to the Byron Bay area to be near their six children, where she bought her own $4.6 million estate overlooking Tallow Beach.
In May 2022, Shannon said Madeleine saw their children biweekly, while they spent the rest of the time with him.
“The children live with me full-time and visit their mother every fortnight for a few days,” he told the Herald Sun at the time.
