Pia Miller has sparked rumours she’s quietly tied the knot with Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, just two months after announcing their engagement.
On Wednesday, the former Home And Away actress, 37, was spotted outside her Bondi home wearing a silver band on her ring finger, instead of her huge engagement ring.
