If you’re a newly single socialite this winter, there’s only one place to be – and it’s nowhere near Australia’s chilly capital cities.
Our society spies have clocked a growing trend: high-profile break-ups followed by glamorous European getaways.
The likes of Dina Broadhurst, Harriet Williams, Holly Young, Anna Paul and Zana Pali are all living it up in the Old World – staying in five-star hotels, dining in style and toasting freedom with champagne, not tears.
Back home among the eastern suburbs gossip-mongers, the consensus is clear.
‘They’re sending a message – it’s like, who needs a man if you’re having this much fun on the other side of the world?’ spills an insider.

Dina Broadhurst has been celebrating her single era in Spain after a string of failed romances
‘And honestly, they’ve never looked better. I wouldn’t want to be one of their exes right now.’
Now, let’s start with a Daily Mail favourite…
Dina Broadhurst
Dina Broadhurst has been ringing in her new single era in Spain after a string of failed romances in recent months.
Last week, the eastern suburbs ‘nude artist’ posted a series of photos to Instagram while posing – in her birthday suit, naturally – on a balcony in Barcelona.
The high-society babe has been romantically linked to some of Sydney‘s richest and most powerful men – the latest of whom is appliances heir John Winning Jr.
Even after their split late last year, the pair seem incapable of untangling themselves from one another, as they were spotted on a double date with ex-cricketer Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne in Coogee back in April.
That outing came after Dina enjoyed a whirlwind trip to Paris with toyboy Kengi Meert, a former star of Love Island Belgium – who, at 23, is less than half her age.

In an unexpected twist, Dina also reconnected with her ex-boyfriend Tony Benjamin in Bondi last month.
Yes, she certainly likes to keep the carousel spinning when it comes to former lovers.
Harriet Williams
Her split from publicist husband Andy El-Bayeh may be old news, but we couldn’t help but notice that Harriet Williams has been living it up in Europe lately.
Perhaps she opted for a relaxing summer getaway after we exclusively revealed Andy had fallen head over heels for spicy podcaster Raquelle Saba?
The kinesiologist is showing no sign of heartbreak while trotting around the continent, flitting from one beachside idyll to the next in an assortment of revealing outfits.
Funnily enough, it was in Europe where Harriet and Andy ended their two-year marriage in August 2024 as they jetted across Greece and Italy with other couples.

Their split was described by society insiders as ‘sudden’ as they had been posting loved-up snaps together only weeks earlier.
The popular Bondi couple, who had been together for six years, said ‘I do’ during a three-day forest wedding in the Southern Highlands in March 2022.
The ceremony reportedly set them back a million dollars. Money well spent – until it wasn’t.
Holly Young
Holly Young, the Perth girl who became an eastern suburbs socialite, also appears to be living her best life after splitting from Australia’s No. 1 luxury real estate agent Gavin Rubinstein.
The pair never announced their break-up, nor did they respond to queries about their status, but sources confirmed earlier this year they were no longer together.
Word is Holly was the one to end things. She later had a brief relationship with serial entrepreneur Richie Harkham, who happens to be a friend of Rubinstein’s.
For now, she seems happily single, beach-hopping her way across France and Italy while partying with friends.

Anna Paul
Cashed-up TikTok superstar and controversy magnet Anna Paul is thriving after her split from long-term boyfriend Glen Thompson.
Having recently been linked to a new man named Aymeric Urbain – though they haven’t been seen together since December – Anna has been busy soaking up the sun in Paris, Spain, Thailand and Turkey.
Known to fans as Australia’s answer to Kim Kardashian, the busty 26-year-old boasts a whopping seven million combined followers on TikTok and Instagram.

Zana Pali
Influencer Zana Pali has been chasing the European summer with her children after her shock break-up with lawyer husband Gianni Romano.
The mother-of-two has been posting regularly from her travels in Montenegro, while her estranged husband works in wintry Melbourne.
The estranged couple’s marital home on Brighton’s ‘Golden Mile’ – complete with a basement nightclub and lift access – sold last year for about $10million.
The property sits on a stretch of millionaires’ row that is a magnet for Victorian socialites, with famous locals including Bec and Chris Judd.

After rising to fame on Seven’s My Kitchen Rules in 2016, Zana transitioned into fashion influencing, while she and her husband made serious coin in real estate and moved to the Bayside area.
But cracks in their once-picture-perfect family life started to show several months ago, with the pair going so far as to unfollow each other on Instagram.
Pip Edwards 
Pip Edwards has officially landed in Rome for a fun summer holiday with her closest friends
The P.E Nation founder jetted to Europe on Tuesday, just months after her split from latest squeeze Joshua Clapp (pictured), a 52-year-old hospitality construction specialist
Pip Edwards has officially landed in Rome for a blow-out summer holiday with her closest friends.
The P.E Nation founder jetted to Europe on Tuesday, just months after her split from latest squeeze Joshua Clapp, a 52-year-old hospitality construction specialist.
Their brief relationship was a cause célèbre in the eastern suburbs because he is the ex-partner of Pip’s best friend Leah Simmons, the famous personal trainer behind workout program KΛΛIΛΛ.
While they had been separated for years before he started dating Pip, word of their fling nonetheless set tongues wagging across the coastal A-list.
Their romance ended after a few months because Clapp wanted to live a quieter life.
‘At the end of the day, he’s a single dad with a stressful job. He was over the drama that inevitably comes with dating a spicy pocket rocket like Pip,’ a source said.
Carina Mirabile 
Married At First Sight’s Carina Mirabile is in the United States after her split from Paul Antoine
Earlier this year, Carina brutally dumped Paul in front of the nation – telling him she was ‘done’ and choosing to put herself first after weeks of red flags, disappointment and betrayal

Kristin Fisher 
One socialite bucking the ‘single girl Euro summer’ trend is Kristin Fisher
Instead of heading to Europe with her girlfriends for a few weeks of fun, she hopped on a plane to Bali with her ex-husband Chris Barnes (L), their two children – and his girlfriend Jessica (R)
One socialite bucking the ‘single girl Euro summer’ trend is Kristin Fisher.
Instead of heading to Europe with her girlfriends for a few weeks of fun, she hopped on a plane to Bali with her ex-husband Chris Barnes, their two children – and his new girlfriend Jessica.
Good on them – nothing like a bit of civilised co-parenting for the group chat.
