British rock sensation Yungblud has sparked headlines after a raucous party on a yacht in Sydney, where he skinny-dipped and socialised with local socialite Dina Broadhurst. The 28-year-old musician, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, then took to social media to issue a playful call to older female fans, known as 'cougars', ahead of his Australian tour dates.
A Harbour-Side Spectacle
The incident unfolded on Thursday on the iconic waters of Sydney Harbour. Yungblud was spotted fully nude aboard the vessel, laughing with friends and covering his modesty with one hand while his tattooed physique was on full display. The party was part of pre-tour celebrations for the Australian leg of his global IDOLS World Tour.
Among the guests was Sydney-based socialite and artist Dina Broadhurst, 50. Often dubbed a 'nude artist' for her provocative photography, Broadhurst opted for a pink bikini and sunglasses on this occasion. She was seen smiling and watching the antics of her younger companion from the deck.
The 'Cougar' Call-Out
Following the yacht party, Yungblud turned to Instagram to address his Australian fanbase directly. Sharing a pouty selfie from a car, he wrote: 'Australia im here. Tell the cougars I'll see em Saturday night.' This comment referenced a newspaper article he also shared, which bore the headline 'Why cougars all want Yungblud'.
The singer has previously acknowledged his popularity with an older demographic of women. In an interview with news.com.au before his trip, he remarked, 'I'm telling you, the older birds... It's crazy. The nails are sharper. I'm down for it. It's definitely another generation's vibe but whatever man, rock'n'roll.'
Tour Details and Personal Life
Despite his playful teasing, Yungblud is in a committed relationship with long-term girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark, a 34-year-old singer and fashion designer based in Los Angeles. He has described her as 'the love of my life' and his 'best friend'.
His Australian tour kicks off this Saturday, 10th January, at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, a venue upgraded due to overwhelming demand. The tour schedule is as follows:
- Sydney: Qudos Bank Arena – Saturday, 10th January
- Melbourne: Sidney Myer Music Bowl – Tuesday, 13th January
- Adelaide: Adelaide Entertainment Centre – Thursday, 15th January
- Brisbane: Riverstage – Saturday, 17th & Sunday, 18th January
- Perth: Ice Cream Factory – Tuesday, 20th January
Yungblud, famed for hits like 'Parents' and with over eight billion global streams, is promoting his fourth album, 'IDOLS', which was released in June alongside a documentary film.
