Mark Latham has quietly struck up a romance with a glamorous businesswoman with ties to the Liberal party.
Daily Mail Australia understands the NSW One Nation leader and Nathalie Matthews have made no secret of their new relationship while travelling in London.
Mr Latham unintentionally shared a telling clue of the blossoming romance on his personal Instagram account on Monday night UK time.
He posed for a picture in his signature bowlers hat and blue denim jeans at centre court at Wimbledon. Ms Matthews simultaneously uploaded a picture of her own.
Both photographs are taken from the fifth row of the bottom left corner of the court, and the same patrons were sitting in the rows in front in the images.
In her picture – tagged to Court No.1 – she wore aviator sunglasses and an Oh Polly linen blazer.

A source told Daily Mail Australia: ‘When she posted at Wimbledon I [thought] Latham would be the photographer.
‘He is galivanting around England with her at the Lords (where the Ashes is held) and Wimbledon.’
The Wimbledon photo is the only picture Mr Latham has shared from his Europe trip on his social media pages so far.
However he was caught off guard in the series of pictures by cricket fans from the Ashes on June 29.
He was standing next to a seafood and sausages van, wearing a green, floppy cloth hat and a rain jacket over his shorts in London, where it is summer.
Mr Latham’s office confirmed he had organised a study tour to Europe before the parliamentary schedule for 2023 was known.
‘I confirm that last year, well before the new parliamentary schedule was known, Mr. Latham organised a research trip of European school education, which he is now completing,’ his adviser told Daily Mail Australia.
His new flame has also shared a photograph from the Ashes on July 10, captioning the picture: ‘watching the Aussie women at the home of cricket.’
