The handsome ‘adventure philanthropist’ is the Managing Director of a multinational PPE business.

It’s Bishop’s third red carpet appearance with the handsome entrepreneur, although he has denied the pair are dating. 

She went through a painful split with her partner of eight years, David Panton, last year.

Julie first stepped out with the hunk at a Moët & Chandon ball in Sydney.
