Jye Emdur, the handsome son of television personality Larry Emdur, has introduced his new girlfriend to the world. She is Emily Kaufman, a former finalist in the Miss Universe Australia NSW 2024 competition.
A New Romance
The 32-year-old real estate agent commented on the brunette beauty's Instagram post, which featured intimate snapshots of the couple. 'Wow, lucky me,' he wrote, to which the model replied, 'Lucky ME.'
Emily captioned her post 'Sharing is caring' and included a gallery of recent pictures. One romantic photo showed the pair embracing and gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. Emily looked stunning in a figure-flattering maxi dress, while Jye cut a dashing figure in a casual ensemble of trousers and a yellow shirt.
She also shared a playful clip of herself eating take-out gelato, barely able to suppress a delighted laugh.
Relationship Timeline
It is not known how long Emily has been dating Jye, who split from his long-term girlfriend Taylor Jones in 2023. Emily, born in Taiwan and moving to Australia as a two-year-old, reportedly values privacy regarding her romantic life.
She currently works with the Wink Models agency and graduated from Macquarie University in Sydney with a BA in Performing Arts and Entertainment Industries in 2023, having started her degree in 2021. In 2024, she made headlines as one of seven NSW finalists in the Miss Universe Australia competition.
An insider told The Daily Telegraph in August 2023 that Jye was 'single and ready to mingle' after his breakup with Taylor. In 2024, Jye was linked with fellow real estate agent Bella Todman, with the pair 'hard launching' their relationship in December. They posted frequent images of their romance, but it is not known when they officially split.
Family Background
Jye, a former model, is the eldest son of Gold Logie fan favourite Larry Emdur and his wife Sylvie Emdur. The prominent Sydney couple, married since 1995, also share a daughter, Tia. The 26-year-old made headlines in 2022 when she announced her engagement to long-term boyfriend Rowell Jauco.
Larry, 61, explained that the groom asked for his permission before proposing. 'All a father like me can hope and pray for is that one day his baby girl finds a partner who will love and adore, respect and admire, cherish and protect her the way he's tried to,' Larry said on social media. He added, 'Rowell, thank you for being a bit old-fashioned and asking me if you could ask Tia for her hand in marriage.'
The couple later wed at a lavish ceremony at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney in February 2024.
