The whispers linking Dylan Alcott and model Rebecca Jobson after her split from surfer Taj Burrow - as questions linger over what really happened with Chantelle Otten

It was the break-up no one seemed to want to confirm.

But Dylan Alcott may have to finally address the elephant in the room that is his split from sexologist Chantelle Otten, with rumours swirling that he has moved on with a prominent eastern suburbs socialite. 

The wheelchair tennis champion and former Australian of the Year, 35, is said to be romancing model Rebecca Jobson, a well-placed source tells the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail understands the former Paralympic wheelchair tennis champion, 35, has struck up a new romance with model Rebecca Jobson. 

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

The couple's split was first reported in January. A few months later, Jobson was seen with wealthy businessman Charles Hinckfuss at a Prada event.

Now, the Sydney rumour mill suggests things are over with Hinckfuss and Jobson is now dating Alcott, who has a reputation for being quite the charmer.

A glance at their Instagram accounts shows they follow each other and have been liking one another's posts since late July. 

Jobson also commented on one of Alcott's posts in August after he shared a reel of images from his European holiday. 

In the photo gallery, which included a picture of Alcott shirtless, he shared a picture he had taken of a man wearing a slogan T-shirt that said: 'There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.'

Jobson jokingly wrote under the post: 'I think there might be an elevator to success.'

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

Jobson was last on the society radar in March when she was spied at the Prada party in Sydney's CBD with Hinckfuss, who owns the furniture company MCM House.

Two months earlier, in January, reports emerged that Jobson and Burrow had broken up - a surprising twist given the couple had publicly declared their love during a luxury Maldives getaway in September 2025. 

At the time, it was reported that the Yallingup surf king had quietly parted ways with the mother of his two children, shocking the tight-knit south-west scene.

Jobson declined to comment at the time but did not deny the separation. Her subsequent sighting with Hinckfuss confirmed the end of her marriage.

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

While their romance was short-lived, further 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.
