It's unclear when Danny and Chantelle started dating, and the couple has kept their relationship very private as they rarely post about each other on social media.

However, in July 2023, Chantelle appeared on Danny's Instagram while the pair attended the Barbenheimer-Barbie and Oppenheimer-Premier.

A few months later, in December, they attended the RM Williams Sydney store launch together, with Danny saying he 'took my booty girlfriend to celebrate'. [sic].

Danny made a notable appearance on Chantelle's Instagram page in April this year when she uploaded photos of a snow trip to Japan with friends.
