Wayne Lineker, the self-proclaimed “King of Ibiza,” is making headlines again, but this time it’s not just for his club promotions or his iconic status in Ibiza’s nightlife scene. The 63-year-old businessman has been spotted with a new love interest, 29-year-old Irish model Dahna McMillian, whose famous father, Lennie McMillian, is a well-known sports figure.
The couple was seen enjoying a shopping trip in London last Friday, where Wayne and Dahna visited high-end boutiques like Prada. In one of the photos, the two were seen sharing a cheek kiss, fueling rumors of a blossoming romance. This is the first time Wayne has been publicly linked to someone since his previous relationship with fiancée Danielle Sandhu ended several years ago.
Their relationship, which seems to have been under wraps for some time, took a more public turn when Wayne took Dahna to the Maldives, with both posting images from the tropical getaway. Dahna, a fashion model with more than 6,000 Instagram followers, frequently shares images of herself vacationing in exotic locations, and her recent posts from the Maldives show her enjoying the stunning views and relaxed atmosphere. One post even showed her in a tiny red bikini, with the caption, “Sorry, I’m busy,” and another displayed her standing by a tree on the beach in a brown halterneck dress.
Wayne, who has been sober for eight months, seemed to be in good spirits during the trip, sharing a video of himself learning to make red snapper curry, a departure from the hedonistic lifestyle he was known for. After overcoming serious health issues, including pneumonia, Wayne has made it clear that his focus is on living a healthier and more balanced life.
His recent public outing with Dahna, coupled with their romantic getaway, marks a new chapter in his personal life. Friends have noted that Wayne’s commitment to sobriety and his more grounded lifestyle has changed the way he approaches relationships. A representative for Wayne confirmed that he is still technically single but acknowledged that his relationship with Dahna is growing. They also mentioned that Wayne was preparing to return to Ibiza for the upcoming season, where he will celebrate his birthday with family on the island.
Wayne has been quite open about his past relationships and the challenges he faced while navigating his high-profile life in Ibiza. In his previous appearances, including his stint on Celebs Go Dating, he mentioned that he was looking for someone who wasn’t a “party girl” and was ready to settle down. His romance with Dahna seems to be a step in that direction, though he remains cautious about labels, preferring to take things one day at a time.
The couple’s growing bond has been welcomed by Wayne’s friends, who have expressed their happiness that he has found someone special. Wayne has made it clear that his life is now focused on health and happiness, and with Dahna by his side, it looks like he is embracing this new chapter with open arms.
Despite the public attention their relationship is drawing, Wayne remains grounded in his sobriety journey, and his connection with Dahna may very well be the start of a promising new chapter in his life, away from the party scene that once defined him.
