The couple, parents of one-year-old Allegra, secured the home for $2.5m at a McGrath auction last weekend. It has Port Hacking waterviews. It will also be the home of Bianca’s mother, entertainer Maria Venuti.

The 81-year-old singer and actor has been living since 2016 with the aftermath of a stroke, but is said to be looking forward to being closer to her many friends in the Sutherland Shire.

Bianca and Gary, who have been together for four years, announced their purchase on Instagram.

There has been no decision yet made on Maria’s longtime Gladesville home, which she bought in 1973 for $29,000 with her then plumber husband, Anthony Hughes.

Her late mother Isabella lived in the neighbouring three-bedroom federation house where Maria learned to sing in the front sitting room after her parents bought it in 1953.
