Isn't it nice when exes get along?
That was our first thought when these sensational photos hit our desk of Dina Broadhurst - the famous 'nude artist' of Sydney - reuniting for a friendly beach outing with her ex-boyfriend Max Shepherd.
The two had dated for four-and-a-half years until 2023 when they amicably parted ways, with property developer Max moving on with U.S.-based Vanderpump Rules star Vail Bloom, while Dina took up with Winning Appliances heir John Winning Jr.
But after Dina and John Jr. abruptly called it quits last month - reportedly just hours before he was set to be her plus-one at the society wedding of Pilates queen Bernadette Fahey and Jordan Sukkar - it seems Dina is leaning on her former toyboy for support.
The 46-year-old socialite joined Max, 31, and another female friend on Tuesday for a sunbathing session at Kutti Beach, a half hour's drive from the luxury apartment the ex-couple own together.
It's believed Max, who spends most of his time in America these days, had flown back to Sydney so he and Dina could sell their old place.

But in between meetings with real estate agents, the pair found time to hit the beach.
And it was so sweltering hot that afternoon that Dina whipped off her red bikini top, leaving almost nothing to the imagination in a tiny pair of tie-side bottoms.
Max, shirtless in a pair of boardshorts, didn't seem to bat an eyelid.
Still, you can't help but wonder what his girlfriend Vail thinks of it all back home in the States. So, being enquiring minds, we asked her.
Vail, a mother of two young children from a previous relationship, confirmed to us she was still dating Max. We are not suggesting otherwise, and it is not suggested that Max has been unfaithful.
Dina also told us: 'We are great friends and business partners.' Max added: 'We are just friends and currently selling a property together.'
Glad to clear that up!

Indeed, the former couple did recently list the lavish unit they shared in Sydney's Darling Point for a whopping $11.5million.
They bought the three-bedroom, two-bathroom harbourside pad in 2022 for $5.2million before overseeing an ambitious renovation.
Construction took two years to complete and involved a complete interior demolition.
Max and Dina, who share a 15-year age gap, called time on their relationship last year, having first got together in 2018.
A source confirmed the break-up to Daily Mail Australia at the time. Afterwards, Max jetted off to Europe to nurse his broken heart on several luxury superyachts.
Max last appeared on Dina's social media accounts in February 2023. His last post of her came in December 2022.
After the break-up, Dina moved on with another younger man, multimillionaire refrigerator heir John Winning Jr., after the pair had known each other for some time.
But after eight months of dating, the art collector came to the realisation their lifestyles were not compatible and they broke up just hours before Dina made a solo appearance at Bernadette Fahey's wedding.
Dina and John Jr. have since unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Max went Instagram official with Vail in November last year by sharing loved-up snaps of them both to Instagram.
In June, Vail paid tribute to Max in a gushing post to mark his 31st birthday. In her post, she referenced the close bond he shared with her children.
'Happy Birthday to the man of my dreams, and Charlie's dreams and Jack's - We all love you! Endlessly!' she wrote in the caption.
'Can't believe a year's gone by. To many more trips around the sun - Happy birthday, my love. See you soon.'
