Elle Macpherson and disgraced anti-vaccine boyfriend Andrew Wakefield step out for lunch in Miami

Elle Macpherson, 54, and her disgraced anti-vaccine doctor lover Andrew Wakefield, 61, look close as they head out for lunch in Miami

  • The married father of four left his wife last November saying he wanted to ‘find himself’ 
  • The same month he met Elle at an awards ceremony, his friends told DailyMail.com 
  • His business partner and fellow campaigner Polly Tommey says: ‘Elle is such a sweetheart. I actually think she’s lucky to have him.’ 
  • Elle has changed his diet and he has started wearing trendy clothes 
  • Neither Macpherson, who is divorced and has two children with her ex-partner, or Wakefield have spoken about the romance 

They’ve reportedly been together for just over a year.

And it seems Elle Macpherson, 51, and her disgraced anti-MMR vaccine boyfriend Andrew Wakefield, 61, are still going strong.

The couple, who kept their outfits quite casual, were spotted enjoying a bite to eat while out and about in Miami.

Up top Elle, 54, opted for a black puffy vest layered over a white long sleeve t-shirt.

Black leggings highlighted her famously long and lithe legs, while a pair of tan flip flops rounded out her laid-back look.

Though she slung a maroon zipper bag across her body, she still decided to carry her phone in her right hand.

The mother-of-two parted her mixed brunette tresses in the middle and allowed her unstyled locks to fall down past her shoulders.

Former doctor Wakefield, 61, was equally dressed down in a trendy white short-sleeve shirt, light wash jeans and grey sneakers.

It seems the once-married father-of-four has managed to swap out his dowdy wardrobe with trendy linens and slim-fit outfits to impress his world famous girlfriend, according to close friends. 

Earlier in July, DailyMail.com revealed that Wakefield had lost inches off his waistline after replacing his favorite foods with nutrition-packed ‘wellness shakes’ recommended by healthy-eating Elle.

Wakefield was banned from practicing medicine in his native Britain eight years ago after helping spawn the modern anti-vaccination movement with widely discredited research, claiming the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine causes autism and bowel disease.  

After decamping to the United States with his credibility shredded, Wakefield’s cause was adopted by Hollywood stars, promoted by online conspiracy theorists and picked up by populist politicians.

His powerful supporters include Donald Trump, whose inauguration ball Wakefield attended, while leaders of two populist parties in Italy exploited his claims to win an election earlier this year.

Brian Burrowes, 48, who edited Wakefield’s controversial 2016 documentary Vaxxed, said the former doctor started dating Macpherson after meeting her at an awards ceremony in November.

But Wakefield’s wife’s brother revealed that he only told her that their relationship was over in April. 

A source previously told MailOnline that Wakefield separated from his wife Carmel in 2017 and first started seeing Elle in late 2017 after they met at an event in Orlando.
