Elle Macpherson and John Hitchcox officially a couple

May 30th, 2006

Supermodel Elle Macpherson and property tycoon John Hitchcox are officially an item following a long courtship. The Australian beauty and Hitchcox - who is currently separated from his wife - moved quickly to quash rumours they were romantically involved last month, but they have now become comfortable enough with their love to go public. Hitchcox says, “It started as a friendship and then we had a long courtship but now we are an item.
“We are taking it slowly and trying to be normal.
“We were originally introduced by a mutual friend years ago but it is only in the last months we have become close.”
Elle just split from French financier Arpad Busson, who fathered her two sons - eight-year-old Flynn and two-year-old Cy.
