Former Today show star Alex Cullen and his wife Bonnie have found a tenant for their stylish $2 million Sydney pad after the home languished on the market for seven weeks.

The sports reporter listed the heritage property in Summer Hill in July after announcing he was relocating to Melbourne for a new gig on Gold 104.3’s The Christian O’Connell Show.

Cullen, 44, was axed from his prized spot on Nine’s brekkie show after he accepted a $50,000 gift from The Block billionaire Adrian Portelli for calling him ‘McLaren Man’ live on air.

Agents confirmed via their online listing that the home has been rented out for $1,500 a week with a $6,000 bond.

Originally listed on the market for $1,800 a week, the asking price for the Summer Hill property was reduced to $1,700 after only one week on the market.

However, the Daily Telegraph reports that an earlier tenancy did not proceed, despite agents having announced that a deposit was taken two weeks ago.

Located 9 km from the CBD, the 1912-era dwelling is a Queen Anne Federation-style home that has been carefully maintained and boasts classic features, including stained glass windows, patterned ceiling finishes, and archways.

Highlights include timber flooring, original archways, decorative fireplaces and a wraparound verandah.

There’s also a well-appointed modern kitchen and a large backyard with a paved patio for alfresco dining.

Cullen’s exit from Nine was announced by Today host Karl Stefanovic live on air in January this year.

The scandal kicked off when Portelli had grown tired of his long-used nickname ‘Mr Lambo’ and offered the cash reward to the first person to use his new moniker on air, with Alex obliging on the Today show.

The Block entrepreneur then posted what appeared to be a bank transfer of $50,000 to the presenter on Instagram.

Accepting cash, gifts or benefits to undermine journalistic independence, and improperly using a journalistic position for personal gain, are both breaches of the journalism code of ethics as defined by the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance union.

The ill-advised stunt led to Alex being suspended by Nine, and he did not appear on the show while the network investigated the payment.

Nine’s parting of ways with Alex went ahead despite Portelli’s claim that the journalist intended for the money to be paid to charity all along.

Network insiders also told Daily Mail Australia that the stunt could have been beneficial for the network and Portelli, if Alex had advised the promoter that, as a journalist, he was unable to accept any payment for making the comment on air.

Cullen is now a regular on Melbourne’s Gold 104.3’s top-rating breakfast program The Christian O’Connell Show.

Alex shared his excitement at joining the show in a statement.

‘This is such an exciting next chapter for me,’ he wrote.
