Dina Broadhurst's New Beau Shows Extreme Devotion with Photo T-Shirt
Socialite and artist Dina Broadhurst, 50, and her new boyfriend Danny Tchalaby have sparked attention with a public display of affection that some might call cringeworthy. The couple was seen on a romantic date in the upscale Sydney suburb of Double Bay on Tuesday, where Danny made a bold fashion statement by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a photo of Dina herself.
A Striking Fashion Statement on a Romantic Outing
The image on Danny's shirt showed Broadhurst posing in a skimpy red swimsuit while holding a book titled Lovers, adding a layer of symbolism to their public appearance. Dina complemented the attention-grabbing ensemble with her own stylish outfit, showcasing her svelte frame in a white singlet top and green short-shorts that left little to the imagination.
The age-gap couple—with Danny appearing to be in his early 30s—were photographed strolling hand-in-hand through the ritzy neighborhood before settling for lunch at an upmarket cafe. Their romantic outing represented a significant moment as they continue to establish themselves as a public couple in Sydney's social circles.
Parking Fine Fails to Dampen Romantic Spirits
Unfortunately, the date encountered a minor setback when Broadhurst returned to her car to find a parking ticket waiting. However, the artist took the bad news in good humor, refusing to allow the fine to ruin their special time together. This positive attitude reflects her approach to the relationship, which appears to be blossoming despite the attention surrounding their age difference.
The couple had made their official debut just days earlier at a party hosted by Italian luxury fashion house Prada in Sydney's central business district on Friday. This event not only marked their first public appearance together but also signaled Broadhurst's return to the social scene following her split from appliances heir John 'Herman' Winning.
Who Is Danny Tchalaby?
Danny Tchalaby is a German entrepreneur who founded the angel investment syndicate Mavericks Founders in 2015. Before establishing himself as a full-time angel investor—someone who makes early investments in startup companies—he held various roles in technology and finance sectors.
His professional journey includes:
- Working as an advisor at SKEDit, a WhatsApp messaging automation platform
- Serving in venture growth for business consultant Hoxton Projects for about a year in 2023
- Co-founding and acting as CEO of Datra from 2017 to 2019
- Beginning his career as an 'entrepreneur-in-residence' at ideas-driven collective Pulilab in 2012 after graduating from EBS Business School in Germany
- Working as a business analyst before moving to Budapest, then returning to Germany for a four-year stint as a financial technology advisor at Deutsche Bank
Tchalaby maintains a relatively low online profile, with his social media accounts set to private, which contrasts with Broadhurst's more public persona as an artist and social figure.
The Timeline of a New Relationship
While the exact duration of Broadhurst and Tchalaby's relationship remains unclear, he first appeared on Sydney's elite radar in February when Broadhurst posted a photo of him to her Instagram Stories. This came during a period of speculation about her love life following her split from John Winning Jr.
Winning, widely known as 'Herman,' is the son of appliances mogul John Winning Sr., whose family is estimated to be worth $700 million. The younger Winning took over as CEO of Winning Appliances in 2011 at age 22, spearheading its expansion into Australia's largest online appliance retailer. The company was founded in 1906 by his great-grandfather and remains dominant in kitchen and laundry appliances.
Broadhurst and Winning had an on-again, off-again relationship that began in March 2024, briefly ended later that year, then rekindled in August 2025. At the time, Broadhurst told Stellar magazine: 'I'm in a relationship. After spending some time apart, we've reconnected with a much deeper bond. And we're happier than ever.'
The whispers about her romantic life intensified when Winning unexpectedly deleted his Instagram account amid reports that his 'rock star' social media presence was causing friction at the family business. Broadhurst had also stopped posting about Winning on her social media accounts, with their last photo together appearing in January before her new relationship with Tchalaby became public.
