Dylan Alcott’s surprising new girlfriend from Melbourne’s east

It was a breakup that neither party appeared ready to publicly confirm.

Now, Dylan Alcott may be forced to address speculation surrounding his split from sexologist Chantelle Otten, amid rumours that he has begun a new relationship with a well-known eastern suburbs socialite.

The 35-year-old wheelchair tennis champion and former Australian of the Year is reportedly dating model Rebecca Jobson, according to a well-placed source who spoke to the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail understands that Alcott, a former Paralympic wheelchair tennis champion, has recently developed a romance with Jobson.

Jobson, 37, is best known for appearing on Australia’s Next Top Model in 2008 and for her former marriage to acclaimed professional surfer Taj Burrow.

The couple’s separation was first reported in January. Several months later, Jobson was spotted with wealthy businessman Charles Hinckfuss at a Prada event.

The Sydney rumour mill now suggests Jobson and Hinckfuss have gone their separate ways, with the model reportedly dating Alcott, who is known for his charm.

A review of their Instagram accounts shows that they follow each other and have been liking one another’s posts since late July.

Jobson also left a comment on one of Alcott’s posts in August, after he shared a series of images from a European holiday.

The gallery included a shirtless photo of Alcott, as well as an image he had taken of a man wearing a slogan T-shirt reading: ‘There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.’

Jobson responded jokingly: ‘I think there might be an elevator to success.’

The Daily Mail has contacted Alcott, Jobson and Otten for comment.

Jobson was last spotted on Sydney’s social scene in March, when she attended a Prada party in the CBD with Hinckfuss, owner of furniture company MCM House.

Two months earlier, in January, reports emerged that Jobson and Burrow had separated — a surprising development after the couple publicly declared their love during a luxury holiday in the Maldives in September 2025.

At the time, reports claimed the Yallingup surfing identity had quietly split from the mother of his two children, leaving the tight-knit south-west community stunned.

Jobson declined to comment but did not deny the separation. Her later appearance with Hinckfuss was seen as confirmation that her marriage had ended.

The Mail understands Jobson and Hinckfuss deliberately avoided being photographed together at the Prada event. Hinckfuss instead posed for pictures with his friend Pip Edwards, co-founder of streetwear label P.E Nation.

Although the reported romance was brief, more details emerged at the time.

They got together relatively soon after the model split from her husband, a source claimed, and their fling coincided with Jobson, who is from Perth, spending more and more time in Sydney, where Hinckfuss is based.

It’s unclear when Jobson and Hinckfuss broke things off, or when she became involved with Alcott.

As for Alcott, he has yet to publicly announce his split from 32-year-old Otten, though it is understood they have not been a couple for a long time, possibly years.

Their relationship status has been the subject of intense speculation, with the pair continuing to lead seemingly separate lives while steadfastly refusing to confirm or deny reports of a split.

As recently as a month ago, Alcott would say only that ‘protecting my private life is something that’s very important to me’ when asked about his love life in a News Corp interview.

Otten now lives in New York City, while Alcott remains in Australia. 

Their interactions on social media have become increasingly sparse, although it is entirely possible they remain friends.

Alcott and Otten first met in 2018 when she went to a book signing for his inspirational memoir, Able.

For about six years, they were fixtures on one another’s social media pages, while also speaking about their relationship – and their intimacy – in interviews.

Alcott, in particular, stated that his disability was not an obstacle to a fulfilling sex life with the formerly Melbourne-based psychosexologist.

But in the last two to three years, things went suspiciously quiet between them.

They are rarely seen together and don’t seem to have made a dedicated social media post about each other since late 2024.

Otten has settled in the Big Apple with a view to expand her career as a social media influencer.

When she confirmed her stateside move earlier this year, she made no mention of where Alcott fits into her American dream.

‘I’m basically here to do everything I’ve done over in Australia and bring it to the US,’ she told her followers.

Alcott told the Mail last year he was unsure whether he would follow Otten to America.

Since then, his social media has been filled with posts of him hanging out with friends on golf courses and fulfilling sponsorship obligations in Australia.

He has continued booking motivational speaking engagements, deepening his involvement in the sporting world and taking on brand ambassador roles.

His last dedicated post about Otten looks to have been in December 2024 when he shared a picture of them together at a friend’s wedding. 

She would feature, briefly, with their dachshund in a slide from a New Year’s Eve highlight reel posted a year later. 

Tellingly, that post had the caption: ‘2025. A year of many ups but a few downs.’

Otten last featured Alcott on her account earlier in 2024, sharing images from when they attended the Australian Grand Prix together.

She also shared a video in January this year, uploading a ‘recap’ of her 2025.

However, the clip, which featured her dog Sauce and one of her visits to a hair salon, didn’t contain any reference to Alcott’s presence in her life.

Interestingly, in her lengthy caption, she said that 2025 was the year of ‘letting things fall away that simply couldn’t come with me’.

She also thanked her ‘family, friends, my management team, my sponsors, my staff, and every single patient’ who ‘backed her’ throughout the year. Alcott did not make the cut.
