Over the past few years, Donna Hay has poured everything she has into building her brand, celebrating the 15th birthday of her much-loved cookery magazine last year and launching a slew of new books and TV shows.
But all her hard work has left the Australian cook little time for love – until now.

The culinary whiz, 46, recently went public with her handsome new man as they took a romantic stroll down in Sydney’s Bondi, and they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
Not shy about hiding their feelings for one another, the smitten pair, who were dressed in matching black activewear, gazed adoringly at each other before leaning in for a kiss.
There’s no doubt the foodie’s friends and family will be thrilled she’s found love again after a “tough” and “horrible” few years, following her divorce from farmer Bill Wilson, who is father to their two boys Angus, 14, and Tommy, 11.
“It’s not what defines me,” said Donna about her split back in 2015.
“It’s not something I anniversarise. I have no idea when it happened. There’s no affair, it just happened.”
“It’s a tough process for anyone to go through – it’s horrible.”
While Donna, who is also looking better than ever after losing an incredible three dress sizes, is yet to name her new beau, there’s no doubt he’s helped put a smile back on her face once and for all!
Speaking of her newfound lease on life, the star told news.com.au she loves to run.
“I can run about 14 or 15km now. It’s good for thinking and creativity,” she said.
In fact, pounding the pavement helped her deal with her divorce.
“I ran a lot [during the split]. And my friends are fantastic. They know when to be brutal, which I don’t always appreciate! They picked me up and said, ‘This too will pass. This isn’t who you are,'” she shared.
