Estella’s mother Collette Dinnigan spoke about co-parenting with Richard way back in 2015 to Daily Mail Australia.

‘I think for all children the most important thing is to know they are loved by both parents and that they are a priority in each of our lives, and that’s the case,’ Collette said.
‘There’s no right or wrong way, as long as your priorities are right.’
The breakdown of Collette and Richard’s relationship made headlines in 2004 when the Sydney Morning Herald reported that in the wake of their ‘increasingly irreconcilable relationship’ the couple’s $4.1 million Paddington home was signed over to Dinnigan.
Richard is now in a relationship with Nicola Dale.
‘I think for all children the most important thing is to know they are loved by both parents and that they are a priority in each of our lives, and that’s the case,’ Collette said previously
They were caught kissing by the paparazzi in June 2020, after they were introduced by mutual friend Ben Fordham at a party.
The couple currently living together in Sydney with Nicola’s daughter Gabriella and Richard’s actor are Christian.
The pair regularly spark speculation they could tie the knot.
