The son of fashion and property tycoons John and Merivale Hemmes, the successful businessman had been dating the flexible blonde, who is almost 20 years his junior, since 2012, but reports that they've split surfaced in June.

'Jus gets a bit bored in relationships,' a source revealed to The Daily Telegraph saying that the couple's courtship fizzled.

Natalie and the hotelier were rumoured to be dating back in November 2010 when they were spotted out together enjoying a succession of cosy dates.

At the time it was reported that Justin had introduced Natalie to his father John at his private beach house near Berrara.

The elusive ladies man has also been linked to model Lara Bingle, model Alexandra Agoston and actress Amber L'estrange.

London-based Imbruglia is back in her home country to promote her new album which is due out in March, and features a series of cover songs by male artists.

She recently starred in an Alan Ayckbourn's play Things We Do For Love in the UK.
