Snarky rumour about ‘It’ girl’s new digs after her divorce party became the talk of Sydney and her former marital home sold for millions
One of the highlights of the December lull in social news was seeing PR guru Montarna Pitt celebrate her newfound singledom with a divorce party.
The eastern suburbs “It” girl invited several friends to Mimi’s, where they drank lobster, pasta, salad and fries and dined over expensive white wine…
…before cutting a cake with her new name: Montarna McDonald.
It was quite a way to announce that she was returning to her maiden name after the collapse of her marriage to lawyer Nicholas Pitt.
Her glamorous gathering quickly became the talk of the town, with guests including Pilates queen Bernadette Sukkar, stylist Caroline Tran and heiress Louise O’Neil.
But that wasn’t the only news on the McDonald-Pitt divorce front.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal the former couple’s marital home in leafy Paddington was also sold late last year for an undisclosed sum.
No sales price was given for the glorious 20th century terrace in Renny Street, but estimates of its value suggest it cost around $4 million.
Montarna is said to have left the Paddo address and, according to insiders, went to her parents’ opulent home in Clovelly.
Now there’s no shame in moving in with mum and dad after a divorce, and there’s plenty of room in mum and dad McDonald’s five-bedroom flat for Montarna and her two girls.
But it was apparently notable enough that more than one of our sources in the eastern suburbs tipped us off last week.
We couldn’t see Montarna coming and going from the Clovelly house; However, recent Instagram posts seem to confirm that she spends a lot of time there.
Several IG Stories show her enjoying time with her kids at the 40-foot pool, which matches publicly available real estate photos of the home’s backyard.
The circumstances of Montarna and Nick’s divorce remain unclear.

Montarna often posted photos of the property before the couple split. Pictured with her two daughters celebrating Halloween at the Paddington house
However, we understand that a newspaper report about the split was quietly corrected by the editors because it contained an inaccuracy.
When contacted for comment, Montarna confirmed that the marital home had been sold and that she was ‘in the process of moving to a new property’. Nick did not respond at time of publication.
Montarna, who worked for Roxy Jacenko at Sweaty Betty PR before founding her own company, The Audience Agency, began dating the Sydney lawyer, a personal injury specialist at the firm Wotton Kearney, in 2014.
The couple married in 2018 in an intimate ceremony at Redleaf Wollombi, just a short drive from the wineries of the Hunter Valley.

On the eve of what would have been their six-year wedding anniversary, Montarna threw a divorce party
Montarna and Nick were married for six years and together for ten years when they split last year. They share two daughters.
News of their divorce came to light in July, but while the divisions in society often become tabloid fodder, details about this specific split have remained scarce.
On the eve of what would have been their six-year wedding anniversary, Montarna threw a celebratory party and formally reverted to her maiden name.
Montarna, who wore a pink sequined knee-length gown with a plunging neckline, documented the lavish ‘do on Instagram, alongside the caption: “To new beginnings.”
Several friends and fans congratulated her on her new start.
“To new beginnings, cheers Montana McDonald,” said Lisa Wipfli, wife of Sydney radio host Michael “Wippa” Wipfli.
