She’s one of the country’s most well-known escorts, who recently announced she was retiring after working six years in the sex industry.
And Samantha X, whose real name is Amanda Goff, has confirmed she is currently dating Seven newsreader Ryan Phelan after announcing her retirement.
Amanda told Daily Mail Australia ‘they are very happy’ and he is the one who convinced her to ‘stop turning tricks and start a new life with him.’

The couple spent a week enjoying a lavish jaunt in Europe together with Ryan saying he had ‘fallen in love with Amanda.’
‘We met when Amanda came in to promote her book Back On Top and I asked her out on a lunch date,’ he told the SMH of the divorced mother-of-two.
‘We have pretty much spent every day together since. I fell in love with Amanda, no one else, and that is who she is to me, Amanda, an outstanding mother and woman,’ Ryan added.
The former journalist, from Sydney, marked October 24 in her diary as her last ever escorting day.

Samantha X revealed she was hanging up her Christian Louboutin heels after six years
‘There it is in black and white folks – yes I still write in an old fashioned diary – October 24th hanging up the heels day. New life awaits,’ she wrote on Instagram.
On her website, the sex worker said she was retiring from her role to focus on her escort agency Samantha X Angels, with plans to expand to other cities.
‘I never thought I’d be writing this, but life works in wonderfully surprising and mysterious ways,’ she said.
‘So this it is…drum roll…. It is with great sadness, but also great excitement, that after six wonderful years as Samantha, I am hanging up my Louboutins to move onto a brand new life and new projects.
‘This isn’t a “I’m taking a break but I’ll be back” blog – this is it. The end of escorting for me, but the beginning of something even more wonderful.’
Samantha X – who lives in Sydney’s beachside suburb of Bondi – said men can still book appointments with her for one-to-one life, love and relationship coaching
Despite her retirement announcement, Samantha X – who lives in Sydney’s beachside suburb of Bondi – said men can still book appointments with her.
‘Plus for all the men out there who need a friendly, non judgemental ear (but clothes strictly on), you will be able to still book appointments with me, for one-to-one life, love and relationship coaching,’ she added.
‘I will still be involved in this wonderful industry, you will still see Samantha X pop up around you – in fact – I’m working hard to build the brand bigger and better.
‘Thank you to all my wonderful and amazing clients who I shall miss dreadfully.’

Her announcement comes after she recently revealed Australian blokes are the best lovers – with the guys in Melbourne coming out on top.
In a column in the Herald Sun the former journalist described her love-affair with the Victorian city and the men she has found there.
‘Without a shred of doubt, the best men of the world award goes to the men of Melbourne,’ she wrote.
She said the best thing about the men of the southern city is that they know how to treat women.
‘Unlike Sydneysiders, who are either too scared to talk to us, or just see us a necessary evil, Victorians can appreciate a woman in the same way they appreciate a good coffee,’ she said.
‘The men here not only dress up and make an effort for us, (and I don’t mean socks with their thongs either) but they are polite, charming and interested.’
