Actor Simon Baker and ex-wife Rebecca Rigg 'to sell their Sydney home for $17million' following their split after 29 years of marriage 

Former Hollywood couple Simon Baker and Rebecca Rigg are quietly shopping their three-bedroom home in Bronte, Sydney.

The pair, who announced their separation in January after 29 years of marriage, have had a number of buyer's agents come through the property.

Simon, 52, and Rebecca, 53, purchased the hillside house in 2015 for $6.5million, and it could sell for as much as $17million, reports Domain.

No formal asking price has been disclosed. 

The residence has sweeping views of the ocean in the sought-after Sydney suburb.

Following his marriage breakdown, Simon is now in a relationship with Byron Bay fashion designer Laura May Gibbs, 36.

It comes after the exes listed their six-bedroom home in Santa Monica for $6.295million.

They are expected to make a tidy profit from the sale of their former marital home, which features classic New England-style architecture, having bought it for $4.65million 13 years ago.

Simon and Rebecca announced their split on January 29.

They told People in a joint statement: 'We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives.'

But according to Fox News, they actually separated nine months beforehand, in April last year.

Simon first met Rebecca in the early '90s and tied the knot in 1998 after five years of living together.

They share three children together, Stella, 27, Claude, 22, and Harry, 19.

Rebecca is best known for her roles in moves Fatty Finn and Ellie Parker, and also had a minor role alongside Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire.

Simon found success on TV shows such as The Mentalist and The Guardian, as well as movies like The Devil Wears Prada.
