Pip Edwards’ rarely seen ex Dan Single surfaces in Byron Bay

Dan Single  was spotted in Byron Bay over the weekend, almost a year after he quietly relocated from to the celebrity enclave from Sydney. 

Looking every inch the bohemian Byron local, the 43-year-old fashion designer was spotted sipping kombucha and chatting on the phone outside a trendy shopping complex on Saturday.   

Dan, who dated activewear mogul Pip Edwards in the early 2000s and has a son called Justice with the P.E Nation designer, dressed for comfort in a lilac hoodie, black Adidas sweatpants and white sneakers. 

The father-of-one looked relaxed as he chatted on FaceTime while perched on a public wooden bench. 

At one stage, the peroxide blond DJ pulled out a yellow microfibre rag and began polishing his phone, before later using the fabric as a makeshift seat-cover.   

He appeared to be joined by a fellow Byron Bay local, who sat next to him while eating take-away meal. 

The Ksubi designer confirmed he was moving to Byron Bay in August last year, telling The Daily Telegraph that ‘all kinds of exciting, feel-good things’ were happening for him.  

The publication also reported that Dan had recently split from girlfriend-of-two years, model Sybil Sweet.   

Dan made headlines back in 2017 after he suffered a horrific accident at Paris’ Grand Hotel Amour following a fall from his hotel room balcony. 

As a result, he was put in an induced coma with his then-wife model Stephanie ‘Bambi’ Northwood Blyth by his side.   

A month later, previously supportive fans turned on him, labelling him ‘pathetic’ for using fundraising website GoFundMe to ask for $250,000 to cover hospital bills.

It was later claimed Bambi was ‘mortified’ about Dan’s decision to ask for money, and reports subsequently emerged speculating the pair had split. 

Dan has since denied that the end of the relationship had anything to do with a GoFundMe page.  

He confirmed his split from Bambi in March 2018, writing to fans on Instagram: ‘When I fell, my hips and pelvis broke in half, and with that our D&B co-dependent relationship broke too.’

‘We were no longer joined at the hip. Two people cannot live as one, it’s not healthy, you can try but you’re really living half a life,’ he added.    

Prior to Bambi, Dan was in a relationship with P.E. Nation designer Pip Edwards. 

Pip and Dan were once the Australian fashion industry’s ‘It’ couple, with Dan co-founding denim label Ksubi, while Pip worked as head designer for General Pants.

The exes split in 2008 and share a 14-year-old son named Justice Maximus.  

In a bizarre twist of fate, Pip has recently been spotted getting close to Dan’s long-time friend Cameron Northway, who attended his wedding to Bambi in 2014. 

Posting to Instagram at the time, Cameron uploaded a photo of two large ‘D’ and ‘B’ letters erected next to a swimming pool ahead of the ceremony.    

‘Calm before the storm. Dan&Bambi’s wedding,’ he wrote in the caption.
