Widely recognized for portraying the role of Franki Valli in Australian Jersey Boys, Bobby Fox is an Australian actor of Irish descent. While doing musicals all over the world may have brought him immense popularity, Bobby is also known for winning quite a handful of Dance Championships in Ireland and Australia.
Having been a part of productions like Dancing on Dangerous Ground and Riverdance, Bobby Fox continues to explore his dancing career while occasionally tapping into his music artist side, too. Fox released a hit album called The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which featured Miranda Kerr, the Victoria’s Secret model.
With a career as diverse as this, much speculation exists about Bobby Fox’s love life, especially since he almost always keeps things private, no matter how significant. Presently, Bobby Fox is regarded as one of the most sought-after event entertainers in all of Australia.
About The Musical Superstar
Proud of his Irish roots, Bobby Fox rose to fame after he became a part of a widely famous musical called The Jersey Boys in 2009. The musical was a hit in America, and soon enough, it started spreading to other countries in the next few years.
When the Jersey Boys production arrived in Australia at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre, Bobby Fox was chosen to be the actor and singer to play Frankie Valli’s role, while Bob Gaudio was played by Stephen Mahy, Tommy by Scott Johnson and Nick Massi by Glaston Toft.
Frankie was one of the main characters, and this role propelled Bobby Fox’s crater into the spotlight. He was able to get into many dance and music reality shows soon afterward. Bobby’s website claims that he performed in Jersey Boys over 850 times, which goes to show just how much his performance was loved all over Australia.
Bobby also happens to be a 4-time champion in the World Irish Dance Championship, and this explains why he was able to perform so gracefully in all of his musicals up until now. Bobby Fox’s dancing skills have also led him to tour with groups and productions like To Dance On The Moon, Dangerous Ground, and Riverdance.
All of these are well-known shows that gather thousands of audiences each time they perform at a venue. Since Riverdance is mostly made up of traditional Irish music and dance steps, Bobby Fox fits right into the spot and has been with the production quite a few times.
Fox was involved in the revival of Hot Shoe Shuffle, an Australian musical that used to be popular back in the 90s. His charismatic performances have also landed Bobby in lead roles in productions like We Will Rock You, Mamma Mia!, Blood Brothers, and countless others.
By 2016, Bobby even played a role in Ladies In Black, and this performance led him to win the Green Room Award nomination. Whether it’s a solo dance or a live musical, there’s nothing that Bobby hasn’t done in his years-long career.
Each of his performances always leaves the audience wanting more, and that’s why he’s rightfully considered to be Australia’s best musical performer and event entertainer.
Who Is Bobby Fox’s Partner?
Bobby’s musical career may have been very successful, but the artist has barely ever talked about his personal life in front of the cameras or interviews. While there’s no news about who Bobby Fox is dating now, he was believed to be in a relationship with Melanie Hawkins in 2019.
The duo appeared in the same stage production called Saturday Night Fever, and this led to the publicization of their relationship. Despite being on the same production, Melanie and Bobby couldn’t spend enough time together on the set. Melanie played the role of Stephanie, the main protagonist, and Bobby was chosen to be one of the lead vocalists in the musical.
At the time of starring in Saturday Night Fever, Melanie and Bobby were reportedly together for almost three years. When Bobby was asked how he felt seeing Melanie play the lead role with another actor on the same stage, he claimed, “It was awesome, and since they were just dancing, it was fine.”
A lot of time has passed since the news came out that Melanie and Bobby Fox were dating. For now, Bobby doesn’t seem to be in any relationship, or if he is, he is keeping it private until it’s official. The Jersey Boys actor doesn’t have any pictures or statements that would point towards a romantic relationship.
Bobby Fox is now concentrating on bringing out entertaining Christmas and New Year-themed musicals, so talking about his private life may not be something he has on his to-do list at present.
