Who Is Simon Baker Dating? News & Updates On His Love Life
Is Simon Baker off the market? Recent sightings suggest the charismatic actor may have found a new flame, igniting curiosity about his current romantic life. After his separation from Rebecca Rigg, the spotlight is once again on Baker's personal life, with fans eager to know who has captured the heart of the beloved "Mentalist" star.
The rumor mill began churning when Simon Baker, 55, was seen enjoying the sun and surf in the Sydney suburb of Tamarama in September 2024. The Daily Mail identified his companion as Brigette, a woman previously photographed with the actor during the 2023 Easter long weekend in Byron Bay. This isn't the first time Baker has been linked to a "mystery blonde." Back in November 2022, he was initially spotted with an unknown woman, followed by a romantic beach date in Byron Bay with the same individual the following Easter. These repeated appearances have fueled speculation that Baker has found a new, significant connection.
