There’s a new power couple emerging in Sydney’s elite social scene.
Gabriella Pereira, the renowned Beare Park fashion designer and Sydney socialite, has sparked rumours of a new romance with Sean Handlin, a personal trainer and son of former Sony Music Australia boss Denis Handlin.
Friends close to the couple have revealed to The Sunday Telegraph on Sunday that things between them are getting serious.
‘No one knows how long they have been together, as they are both quite private,’ an insider told the outlet. ‘But they are definitely dating.’
Pereira, who has cemented her status as an ‘It’ girl in Sydney’s high-end fashion and social scenes, is known for keeping her personal life under wraps.
Similarly, Sean has remained tight-lipped about his romantic life, choosing to focus on his career in the fitness industry.
However, their recent interactions have caught the attention of those in the know.
‘They’ve been seeing more of each other and it’s clear they enjoy spending time together,’ shared another source.

‘There’s a definite connection there, and it’s not just a casual thing.’
Despite their low-key approach, fans and followers have eagerly picked up on the clues.
The couple has been spotted at some of Sydney’s trendy hotspots and have even shared glimpses of their time together on Instagram stories, from casual brunch dates to scenic beach walks.
Yet, neither has officially confirmed the status of their relationship.
Gabriella was previously in a long-term relationship with comedian Chris Lilley.
Neither Gabriella nor her Logie-winning beau had ever publicly discussed their two year relationship and also did not publicly announce their split.
Gabriella was last spotted with Chris taking a low key stroll in February 2023.
The sighting came after Chris launched his comeback project Ja’miezing, a podcast based on his iconic schoolgirl character Ja’mie King, after four of his TV shows were axed from Netflix over blackface portrayals.
Gabriella is known for founding luxury clothing brand Beare Park, having launched her collection on the runway at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week in 2021.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out Gabriella and Sean for comment.
Denis’ other son, Pat Handlin is meanwhile engaged to singer Samantha Jade, though the couple haven’t been spotted together for several weeks
