Back in June, Samantha Armytage hinted she was in a new relationship when she admitted 'good things' were happening in her personal life.

And on Monday, Woman's Day magazine claimed the 42-year-old Sunrise presenter has been secretly dating aviation tycoon Paul O'Brien for several months.

Paul, who is believed to be worth millions, was previously married to Brisbane-based Ten Eyewitness News presenter Georgina Lewis, but they separated earlier this year.

Samantha's colleagues at Channel Seven have reportedly been aware of the romance for some time, despite the relationship being shrouded in secrecy.

It comes after Samantha previously hinted in a magazine interview that she had a new boyfriend, who she reportedly met through Sunrise sports presenter Mark Beretta.

In an interview with Who back in June, the breakfast TV star was directly asked if she was seeing anyone.

'There are good things happening... I don't talk about anyone before I'm 100 per cent sure, because you have got to keep some things private,' Samantha replied.
