Ellie Aitken, the woman at the centre of society love triangle after her husband bolted with her best friend, has gone ‘Instagram official’ with her new boyfriend.
Ms Aitken’s life was turned upside down in late 2021 when her husband Charlie Aitken, a high-profile investment banker, ran off with her best friend Hollie Nasser – ending two marriages in the process.
The socialite, who hails from Sydney’s upmarket eastern suburbs, has since found love with wealthy Bahamas-based fund manager Mark Holowesko.
Debuting her new romance on Sunday, Ellie shared two selfies of the couple attending a formal event together, while writing the words ‘my forever’ next to a love-heart emoji.
In the caption, she added: ‘Lots of travel with this one this year. Can’t wait to see you soon Mark Holowesko.’

Fellow eastern suburbs socialites congratulated Ellie in the comments, including Real Housewives of Sydney star Matty Samaei who wrote: ‘You look beautiful.’
Interior design queen Blainey North, who is known to service wealthy society clientele, commented with a series of red love hearts.
James Packer’s ex Jodhi Meares, who owns luxury fitness brand The Upside, also posted several love hearts.

News of a new romance between Ms Aitken and Mark, the founding partner and CEO of Holowesko Partners Ltd, emerged in April year.
The two were seen enjoying a cosy meal at China Doll in Woolloomooloo in late March.
Mr Holowesko, who is a former Olympian and champion sailor, has also made frequent visits to Sydney over the past six months.

Ms Aitken and Mr Holowesko have known each other for years, the insider said, but grew closer over the past year while she has been building her own funds-distribution business in the Bahamas.
Ms Aitken’s marriage fell apart towards the end of 2021 when it was revealed her husband Charlie was having an affair with her close friend Hollie Nasser.
The move caused scandal in the tight-knit eastern suburbs, particularly since Hollie was not only Ellie’s best friend, but married to Charlie’s business partner Christopher.

‘The truth is that despite the support of friends and family I have not coped well with the deeply hurtful lies, gossip and innuendo that has surrounded the breakdown of my relationship,’ Ellie said in a statement in December that year.
At the time, she announced she would be ‘taking a break from social media’ and public view while she and her family adjusted to the separation and her estranged husband’s new relationship.
‘I had attempted to put on a brave face and tried to manage my feelings and wellbeing despite the fact that I have not had any control over the reasons for my sorrow,’ she said.

Despite the drama, the Aitkens tried to remain on good terms throughout the separation for the sake of their two children.
In May 2022, Daily Mail Australia revealed Hollie and Charlie had quietly parted ways, noting the public pressure was too much for them to bear.
Hollie later confirmed the news to Sunday Confidential, saying in a statement the relationship was over and she was focusing on her children.
‘With regards to my private life, my focus is my daughters [and] I have chosen not to be in a relationship,’ she said.

She went on to praise her estranged husband Christopher Nasser, saying the two were working together to co-parent their children.
‘Chris has always been a loving and devoted father. We are working together to co-parent our children,’ she said.
She also reflected on having her affair thrust into the spotlight.
‘The past nine months have been very difficult and I have expressed my apologies to my family and others involved,’ she said.
