Model Elle Macpherson has been pictured kissing a former British doctor who was the driving force between the anti-vaxxer movement.
The 54-year-old was seen locking lips with Andrew Wakefield, 61, at Glaser’s organic farm in Miami on Friday.
It comes just over a year after she was awarded $53million in cash and a $26million home during her divorce from billionaire Jeffrey Soffer.
Wakefield is a former doctor and researcher, who birthed the modern anti-vaccination movement with widely discredited research, claiming the MMR jab causes autism and bowel disease.
He was banned from practising medicine in the UK in 2010, but now travels across the US to share his controversial views.

Elle, who is a keen advocate of healthy eating, appeared relaxed in her new man’s company, wearing a light blue shirt over matching trousers.
She appeared to make-up free for the outing, wearing her caramel tresses in a simple up-do.
And the catwalk queen wore an oversized grey shopper on one shoulder as her handsome male companion kept close.
Wakefield, who was born in Austin, Texas, speculated that being injected with a ‘dead’ form of the measles virus via vaccination causes disruption to intestinal tissue, leading to both of the disorders.
He published a further paper appearing to confirm his theory in 1998, and vaccinations plummeted in the UK, where rates went from being more than 90 per cent to below 70 per cent.
The US was also affected.

In 2004, Wakefield’s theory was found to have been based on false evidence – it was retracted by the journal The Lancet in 2010, and he was banned from practising medicine in the UK three months later.
Wakefield relocated with his family to Texas after the findings.
A source told MailOnline that he separated from his wife Carmel in 2017 and first started seeing Elle in late 2017 after they met at an event in Orlando.
He has also found an ally in President Trump.
Wakefield met the president along with four other anti-vaccine campaigners in the summer of 2016 as well as attending one of his inauguration balls after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Elle for more information.
Changing things up: In May, Elle spoke about how she had to overhaul her diet as she got older in a bid to maintain her youthful looks
Previously based in London, Elle moved her entire family to Miami in 2014 to be closer to ex husband Jeffrey Soffer one year after their wedding.
They lived together until last year, along with her sons Flynn, 19, and Aurelius, 14 from her previous relationship with Arpad Busson.
‘People are surprised that I … moved my whole family from London to Miami for love,’ the former Sports Illustrated cover girl told Porter magazine last June.
She told InStyle: ‘I realised that I couldn’t really rely on genetics anymore’

Elle and property developer Jeffrey began dating in 2009 and wed at at the exclusive Laucala Resort in Fiji in 2013.
In May, Elle spoke about how she had to overhaul her diet as she got older in a bid to maintain her youthful looks.
She told InStyle: ‘I realised that I couldn’t really rely on genetics anymore.’
The statuesque beauty, who has been nicknamed ‘The Body’, added: ‘The things I’d been doing since my twenties weren’t working in my fifties.’
After turning to a wholefood diet rich in fruit and vegetables and an organic alkalising green powder, Elle found the results to be ‘transforming’.
The powder, which Elle consumes daily, claims to alkalise the body and improve health with ingredients including Chinese herbs and shiitake and maitake mushrooms.
