Toni Collette has been living life to the fullest in recent months following her separation from her long-time husband Dave Galafassi.
The Muriel’s Wedding star, 51, is currently in Europe filming her upcoming movie Under The Stars, which is being filmed in the Apulia region of Italy.
Working alongside veteran actor Andy Garcia, 68, the pair look to be having the time of their lives together.
But the same cannot be said about her ex-husband Dave, 47, who appears to be miserable as of late.
The Aussie drummer, who has recently been romantically linked to fellow actress Claudia Karvan, was seen out and about in Sydney last week looking pensive and lonely.

He later took what looked to be an important phone call.
The musician hasn’t been sighted with Claudia in months, sparking questions if they are still together or have called time on their relationship.
Daily Mail has contacted Claudia Karvan’s representatives for comment regarding her relationship with Dave Galafassi.
Dave, who was a drummer in an indie rock band when he met the About a Boy star, confirmed his split from Golden Globe winner Toni in December 2022 after 19 years together, when he was pictured passionately kissing Sydney chiropractor Shannon Egan at Manly Beach in Sydney.

Daily Mail contacted Toni’s management about the photos, and hours later she announced the couple had split in a joint statement released on her newly reactivated Instagram account.
‘It is with grace and gratitude that we announce we are divorcing,’ the pair wrote.
‘We’re united in our decision and part with continuing respect and care for each other.
‘Our kids are of paramount importance to us and we will continue to thrive as a family, albeit a different shape. We’re thankful for the space and love you grant us as we evolve and move through this transition peacefully. Big thanks.’
Toni was in Italy filming Mafia Mamma when news of her divorce made global headlines.
The pair met in 2002 at the launch of Galafassi’s band’s debut album Metal Detector in Sydney, and their second encounter came just a few days later at a house party.

Photos showed the couple, both dressed in wetsuits, exchanging kisses in the waves as they floated around on their surfboards.
An onlooker told Woman’s Day magazine the pair arrived at the beach and left together, adding: ‘They just seemed really happy together and weren’t bothered by anyone seeing them.’
Claudia’s last known romance was with ex-partner Jeremy Sparks, who she dated for 22 years before splitting in 2017.
The former couple maintain a harmonious relationship and co-parent their daughter Audrey, 22, and son Albee, 17.
Dave meanwhile shares daughter Sage, 15, and son Arlo, 12, with ex Toni.
Toni and Claudia have plenty in common.
Aside from their strikingly similar looks and their shared hometown of Sydney, the actresses have both enjoyed successful careers in cinema, television and the stage.
Toni is best known for her roles in Muriel’s Wedding, Hereditary, Little Miss Sunshine and About A Boy.
Claudia is most recognised for her roles in The Secret Life of Us, Love My Way, Bump and Daybreakers.
