Daily Mail Australia revealed in September last year that Simon had rekindled his romance with Bridgette after the couple took a brief break from their relationship.
The north Bondi local is several months younger than his daughter, Stella, who turned 31 in August.
The blonde originally hails from Melbourne and is a popular fashion and lifestyle photographer.
She is also the co-founder and creative director of Terry, a resort-wear label inspired by ‘European summers and 70s poolside attire’.
She has been dating the actor – who rose to fame with his hit US TV show The Mentalist and more recently starred in the hit Netflix drama Boy Swallows Universe – on and off for the last two years.
The couple had a brief hiatus, but were seen moving furniture into his van at his home in Tamarama in Sydney’s east last year and have been seen on subsequent outings since.
They were first spotted together at Tamarama Beach in November 2022 and were later seen with his sons – Claude, 25, and Harry, 23 – during an Easter trip to Byron Bay in 2023.
Last October, the pair stepped out in all-white matching outfits in Tamarama and were walking arm-in-arm to a local café for a bite to eat and a coffee.

He was with Rebecca for 29 years, including 22 years of marriage, while they lived in Los Angeles from 1995 until 2015, before returning to Sydney and later announcing their divorce in January 2021.
‘We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives,’ they said in a joint statement at the time.
The couple played love interests on the popular 1990s TV series E Street, although they actually met on a blind date in 1991.
