I just love when a couple divorces – wait, don’t judge me yet – and then they trade up. I’m so happy that they’ve met someone new, with a little bit of revenge factor in it for their ex. For example, Angelina Jolie splitting with Billy Bob Thornton and getting together with Brad Pitt is definitely trading up.
When it comes to the Natalie Imbruglia divorce from Daniel Johns, I’m not sure if her new man is an improvement. Daniel Johns is sexy and talented and they share a passion for music, but Sam Branson would have to be one of the most eligible bachelors in England. The thing is, he’s 23 while Natalie is 33.
Natalie Imbruglia is reportedly romancing Sir Richard Branson’s son.
The ‘Torn’ singer – who recently split from husband Daniel Johns – was seen canoodling with the Virgin tycoon’s son Sam during a bash at London’s Kensington Roof Gardens.
The £100,000 ski-themed party was held to celebrate Sam – who at 23 is 10 years Natalie’s junior – leaving to go on an Arctic expedition.
An onlooker said: “They are pretty besotted with each other and Natalie is even talking about meeting him in the Arctic.”
Natalie was last linked to Razorlight rocker Johnny Borell. He managed to get hold of her phone number and called ‘constantly’, according to the Daily Mail. How does this guy meet all these beautiful women? He’s been linked to Kirsten Dunst and Emma Watson too – what do they see in him?
Natalie went on holiday last month with fellow Australian and Neighbours alumni Kylie Minogue. They traveled to Maritius, where they had a girlie good time, with massage and beauty therapy. That sounds like a fabulous idea, but at £3,000-a-night maybe it’s a little out of my reach. I’ll just go take a bubble bath.

awww he looks like Prince William, for the short four years or so that he was actually hot.

Natalie Imbruglia going to the Artic Circle? I call bullshit on that one. And I still say Daniel is too good for her

I know this is isn’t really important, but I just wanted to point out that the Razorlight singer’s name is Johnny Borell, not Jimmy Borell. Pretty good band, btw.

bodhi – it says sam is going to the artic circle, not natalie.

headache– that’s EXACTLY what I thought when I saw his pic, down to the ‘but Branson still has hair” musing.
The age thing’s okay– it’s not like he’s 19 and she’s 29. Those are some key four years for a fella.

Anonymous~ If you are going to call someone out read the article…Bodhi was referring to the fact a snitch told the source she may be meeting him there in the Artic (4th stanza of the quote).

Whatever. This type of age difference only makes news when the female is older.

“Whatever. This type of age difference only makes news when the female is older.”
Yeah, because I’ve never heard a single joke about Michael Douglas needing his wife to change his diapers, or heard a single criticism of J. Howard Marshall II for marrying Anna Nicole Smith.
As a matter of fact I would say the opposite is true. When it’s an older man he’s a cradle-robber, when it’s an older woman she’s a ‘cougar’ and ‘empowered’. “How Stella Got her Groove Back” much?

Just wanted to add that having said what I just did above, I still find this relationship far less creepy than the likes of Lilly Allen and her ex. It never ceased to amaze me that hardly anyone seemed to find that relationship a little odd, so maybe men do get away with more in some respects.

It’s the “onlooker” who said Natalie was talking about meeting him in the Arctic. ’cause you don’t need to train like mad beforehand or anything *rolleyes*
I call the “onlooker” for being a moron who interpreted a conversation that probably went something like, “I’d love to go to the Arctic – see the aurora borealis. Maybe I’ll catch up with you there *wink wink*” as a serious statement rather than an obvious joke.
Or maybe they REALLY misheard the convo and they meant meeting up at an Arctic Monkeys gig?
Mind you, I call BS on the whole lot. Everyone looks like they’re besotted with the person you’re talking to in a noisy club.

on no no no. There is a TOTAL double standard. Douglas catches shit because he is 30 YEARS older than his wife. Guys who date women ten years younger is considered normal and that is Bullshit.
I love it that she is dating him. Maybe men can catch a glimps at why we think it is noteworthy that 35 year old men date 22-23 yr old women all the time and think its fine. I know that I’ve only been asked out by men (other than one guy) who are 8-20 years older than me since I was 16. I always wondered when I was in my teens and early twenties why they wanted to date a child.

@ Scott F: The jokes you’re referring to have more to do with the fact that those husbands were ANCIENT and not so much about the actual age-difference between the two.
Anyhoo, more importantly, Why are we still talking about Natalie Imbruglia when she is still referred to as the ” ‘Torn’ singer”? That song came out 10 years ago. Does she have anything else?

Good for her, he’s very cute.

Hey, she’s a hot older woman and he’s a sweet young thing — I bet Nat could teach him a thing or 2! Go Natalie! Daniel is hot too though. But I heard he split with Natalie because he’s gay. I hope that’s not true. Either way, I wish all of them the best!
