Richard Wilkins’ love live has made headlines recently. 

And now it’s been reported by The Daily Telegraph that the 63-year-old media personality is dating an investment banker’s estranged wife, 50.

The Today star is said to be ‘head over heels’ for Virginia Burmeister, who was a dancer at Le Lido Paris in the 1980s.

The publication reports Virginia, a mother of three young children, has previously interacted with Richard on Twitter.

‘Nice seeing you in the chairman’s this morning…hope you had a good flight! X,’ one tweet reportedly read, which was posted on February two.

Another tweet from June reportedly saw Virginia reveal she was rubbing shoulders with the Today cast and Seal, which read: ‘I’m with Seal #9Today The Voice.’

Virginia is the estranged wife of ‘extremely wealthy’ Mark Burmeister, of Morgan and Stanley. 

Meanwhile, The Daily Telegraph recently reported that Richard attended the opening night of Beautiful:  The Carole King Musical with a mystery woman and that they were holding hands. 

Richard has been married to Michelle Burke and had a high-profile relationship with designer Colette Dinnigan in the past.

Since then, he has been romantically linked to a number of high-profile personalities such as The Block contestant Suzi Taylor and Married At First Sight star and part-time model Nadia Stamp, 36. 

Richard is a father of six. 

Last month, he opened up to 9Honey’s Super Mums podcast and spoke about how becoming a father at the age of 18, changed his life.

He said the arrival of his first son Adam in 1973, who has Down Syndrome and is now 44, forced the former pop star ‘to suddenly grow up’. 

Richard also revealed he ‘first got lucky’ on his 18th birthday.

‘It was a 16-year-old girl who I didn’t know very well and she fell pregnant… so we got married of course,’ he explained. 

‘I didn’t quite know how to handle all that at the tender age of 18, but now I often refer to him as my rock,’ Richard said of his firstborn child.

‘I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t been forced to suddenly grow up at the age of 18,’ he continued.
