Celebrity chef Shannon Bennett breaks his silence on his new romance with Erica Packer and says it has been a 'fun and amazing adventure': 'I'm a very lucky man'


Celebrity chef Shannon Bennett has opened up about his new romance with James Packer's glamorous ex-wife Erica.

Erica reportedly received a $100 million divorce payment, and purchased a family home in Los Angeles shortly after the break-up. Two years after their breakup, she left Melbourne and moved to the Byron Bay area to be near their six children, buying her own $4.6million property overlooking Tallow Beach. Madeleine spent last year embroiled in court battles with Benny Bennett, Shannon's elderly father, who took out an AVO against her after an alleged clash at the chef's Byron mansion in 2022.
