Julie Bishop ‘moves on with hunky entrepreneur’ just months after split from longtime partner David Panton – who ‘break up with her over dinner’

There are rumors that former Secretary of State Julie Bishop is dating again, months after her longtime partner broke up.

The glamorous former politician was in the company of Sydney entrepreneur Luke Hepworth and has recently attended several events together, including last month’s Perth Telethon.

Hepworth fueled speculation after posting several photos of the couple together on Instagram.

But he vehemently denied that he and Bishop are an item.

“We are working on a charity project for the Children’s Cancer Institute. We’re definitely not dating, mate,” Hepworth told the Daily Telegraph.

‘I am not in a relationship.’

“No mate, she’s just a good friend of mine and a great person, so we went to a couple of charity events.”

But Hepworth has confirmed that he has known Bishop for several years after they first met at a Gold charity dinner.
