Julie Bishop: Is the former foreign minister now off the market?

Property developer beau rocks ex-pollie's world

Bishop and David Panton called time on their six-year relationship in 2022 after the former Liberal politician was appointed Chancellor of the Australian National University in Canberra.

Property developer and racehorse owner Luke Saraceni is the man believed to have captured the glamorous ex-foreign minister's heart.

The pair are said to have met through a mutual friend and hit it off immediately.

"They're very much in love and very happy," a source close to Bishop told The Australian.

Bishop has not publicly confirmed her new relationship, but she has been spotted out and about with Saraceni on several occasions.

In January, they were seen together at the Magic Millions horse racing carnival on the Gold Coast.

And last month, they were spotted having dinner at a restaurant in Sydney.

Bishop's new relationship is a welcome change of pace for the former politician, who has been through a lot in recent years.

In addition to her break-up with Panton, Bishop also lost her mother in 2022.

But with Saraceni by her side, Bishop is said to be "happier than she's been in a long time."

The Australian has contacted Bishop and Saraceni for comment.

Conclusion

Julie Bishop is one of Australia's most high-profile women. Her love life has been the subject of much speculation in recent years, but it appears that she has finally found happiness again.

Bishop's new relationship is a reminder that it is never too late to find love.
