Luxe Listings star Gavin Rubenstein reveals he’s had a crush on D’Leanne ‘for years’ 

Amazon’s new reality TV show Luxe Listings Sydney will see D’Leanne Lewis and Gavin Rubinstein go head-to-head as they compete to sell some of the city’s most incredible homes. 

But behind-the-scenes, it appears the handsome property mogul and stunning boss lady aren’t always at odds. 

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Friday, Gavin admitted he’s had a big crush on his real estate agent competitor for years.

‘Full disclosure, when I got into this industry I actually had a crush on D’Leanne when I was 21,’ he said.

‘And I think he still does… he’s only human,’ D’Leanne cheekily added.    

As season one plays out on screens, D’Leanne, Gavin and their fellow property pioneer Simon Cohen are faced with everyday challenges, albeit in the gorgeous backdrop of a $55million mansion. 

In an era where American real estate shows like Selling Sunset have garnered a great interest in viewers, Gavin adds that Luxe Listings is by no-means a copy of the popular series. 

Hey, hot stuff! 'Full disclosure, when I got into this industry I actually had a crush on D'Leanne (pictured) when I was 21,' Gavin said

‘It’s interesting, Selling sunset and Lust Listing are very different shows, Selling Sunset is dramatic and based on the agent’s life.

‘Whereas for Luxe Listings, we are in Australia. We’ve all had established businesses before the show, but on Selling Sunset the others were somewhat nonexistent.

Ever the charming salesman, he added: ‘And thirdly, it has D’Leanne and Simon!’ 

Talent! Ever the charming salesman, Gavin Rubinstein revealed that the show sets itself apart based on the talent, 'It has D'Leanne and Simon!' he added

D’Leanne Lewis and Gavin Rubinstein will face off on Amazon’s new reality show Luxe Listings Sydney, which premieres exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on July 9.

In a trailer for the upcoming series, the real estate agents engage in a war of words.

In the promo, Simon Cohen says: ‘Tension is born from both being top performers in the same industry and both wanting to be number one.’

Gavin then tells the camera: ‘I don’t know why she has had such high staff turnover over the years. I know I haven’t.’

He is then seen approaching D’Leanne during a yacht party and asks her: ‘I want to know who have you built?’

‘I don’t care. Focus on your lane. My lane is fine… Focus on your team and make sure they behave,’ D’Leanne replies.

‘No more reports from Department of Fair Trading,’ she adds.

Gavin then says: ‘Who’s the competition? I prefer to work with people who are going to push me.’

‘I think I’d kick your a**,’ D’Leanne hits back.
