They have faced criticism for ‘setting a bad example’ during the coronavirus pandemic by kissing in public.

The clip appears to be from an outing they shared together from when she visited Michael in Melbourne. The pair spent several weeks self-isolating together in the Victorian capital amid the coronavirus pandemic.
She was spotted jetting back to Sydney, where she is based, on Wednesday.

KC and Michael faced some criticism earlier this week, for setting a bad example as citizens are being encouraged to observe social distancing rules.
They were pictured kissing and cuddling in photos published on Monday.
And while KC offered Michael a squirt of hand sanitiser from her designer handbag, some fans questioned whether their outing constituted ‘essential travel’.
‘Not the time to be showing off in public!’ one fan wrote on Facebook after seeing the photos of KC and Michael in Melbourne.

‘We are meant to be at home social distancing. Confirming a rumour for a tabloid is not essential,’ they added.
‘So is no one going to address the fact that KC is breaking isolation to accompany her partner to work?’ another wrote.
‘That would be an inessential outing for her,’ a third Facebook user pointed out.
The Victorian government has published a list of ‘essential outings’, which cover shopping, exercise, work and education, and access to medical services.

People who fail to comply with social distancing rules may be liable for fines of up to $20,000.
However, it’s important to note that Michael and KC didn’t break any rules by kissing or cuddling. They were a couple living together at the time, which means they didn’t have to observe social distancing with each other.
Furthermore, Michael was attending business meetings, which means his outing fell within the permitted category of ‘work and education’.
The reality stars have been dating since early March after having met on MAFS, where they tied the knot with different partners.
