Since then, they’ve remained tight-lipped about their romance but the couple were soon “getting serious”, according to New Idea.

“Elle and Doyle have known each other for a while but their friendship recently turned romantic,” a source told the magazine at the time.

“It’s getting serious. Elle travels the world with Doyle and already knows his two adult daughters. He worships her and is very supportive of her work in the wellness space, too.”

Confirming the relationship with rare comments to Fitzy and Wippa’s radio show in 2024, Macpherson confirmed that she and Bramhall were collaborating together on music in the studio.

In August 2024 she revealed in her book, Elle, details of her private cancer battle, admitting her holistic approach to treatment received mixed reactions from her family.

“Cy simply thought that chemo kills you,” she said of her youngest child who was 14 at the time. “And so he never wanted me to do it because he thought that was a kiss of death.”

“Flynn, being more conventional, wasn’t comfortable with my choice at all,” she said of her then 19-year-old. “He is my son, though, and would support me through anything and love me through my choices, even if he didn’t agree with them. My children were extremely supportive in their different ways but I knew they felt very scared.”

She also revealed her former partner and the father of her children Busson believed her choice was extreme. “Arki was really supportive … He didn’t agree with what I was doing … Yet he wrote to me to tell me how proud he was of the courage I was showing,” she explains. “Of course he was scared because I’d decided not to take a conventional pharmaceutical route. He considered that extreme. I, on the other hand, felt the chemo and surgery route was extreme.”
