Kate Ritchie goes on a date at Bondi Icebergs after split from John Bell

She’s back on the market after recently splitting from her boyfriend.

And Kate Ritchie looked like she was enjoying the single life as she glammed up for a night out at Bondi Icebergs in Sydney earlier this month.

The Nova radio host, 43, dazzled in a low-cut maxi dress while leaving the upmarket restaurant on the night of December 2 after dinner with a friend.

She carried her belongings in a large tote and a handbag, and added height to her petite frame with a pair of stiletto heels.

The former Home and Away actress made a quick exit from the venue and was whisked into an Uber.

Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed on Tuesday that Kate had split from cyber security expert John Bell, 25, after a whirlwind romance of less than a year.

‘Kate is single. Lockdown is to blame,’ a source said.

‘Kate and John haven’t seen each other since January, even though borders to Victoria opened a few weeks ago. She hasn’t mentioned wanting to visit him once.’

The pair were last seen together in January during a PDA-filled holiday in Byron Bay.

They reportedly stayed at an Airbnb and spent most of their time relaxing by their private mineral salt pool and visiting the town’s top restaurants.

While little is known about John, resurfaced court records show he once had a minor brush with the law.

He was charged with careless driving in March 2015, but was not convicted.

John started security solutions business VIREOSS in September 2019.

He runs the company from the small town of Seymour, an hour and a half from Melbourne. 

Kate was previously married to retired NRL player Stuart Webb, with whom she shares a daughter, Mae.
