Sydney's eastern suburbs have been rocked by the collapse of yet another high-profile couple, just weeks after Kirsten and Jean-Marc Carriol's shock split.
Businessman Ben Mills and his fashion blogger fiancée Carmen Hamilton have quietly parted ways just months after becoming engaged in February.
Friends of the former couple confirmed their split to Emerald City, with one saying: 'There's no bitterness or animosity; the relationship just ran its course.'
Mills, who co-founded the trendy Double Bay wellness centre Shelter, has apparently moved back to his home city of Perth as he recovers from the split.
Meanwhile, Hamilton has taken a break from her usual schedule of attending beauty and fashion events.
Hamilton runs the successful fashion blog The Chronicles of Her, and is also a regular contributor to Vogue Australia.
Mills and Hamilton's reported split comes weeks after businessman Jean-Marc Carriol and his skincare mogul wife Kirsten ended their 20-year marriage.
The pair, once regarded as Sydney's 'original It couple', are reportedly living separately, with Jean-Marc staying at their marital home in Vaucluse while Kirsten lives at a property in Paddington.
They share joint custody of their two children.
News of their recent split apparently came as a shock to their circle of friends, with one telling Sunday Confidential in August: 'We all can't believe their marriage has ended.'
Mills and Hamilton's break-up also comes a year after a high-society love triangle sent Sydney's eastern suburbs into a tizzy.
Eyebrows were raised in late 2021 when socialite Hollie Nasser announced she was dating investment banker Charlie Aitken, the husband of her best friend Ellie.
The relationship began shortly after Charlie and Ellie's marriage broke down.
Complicating things further was the fact Mr Aitken was in business with Ms Nasser's investor husband, Christopher.
Ms Nasser and Mr Aitken spent several months in a love bubble.
They were trying to take things slow, but intense public scrutiny of their relationship added a level of pressure they didn't expect - or know how to handle.
She reportedly confided in friends she was struggling with all the attention the relationship brought her.
'She never wanted it,' a friend said. 'She just wanted to get back to being a mum. Hollie really just wants to move on with her life.'
Hollie confirmed in May she had split from Charlie, telling The Sunday Telegraph the romance was over and she was focusing on her children.
