‘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 go visit him once.’   

Kate has been enjoying life again after her tumultuous relationship with her ex-husband, footy star Stuart Webb in 2019. 

This month, Woman’s Day published photos of the former Home and Away actress leaving Sydney hotspot Bondi Icebergs with a mystery man.

Kate’s radio co-star Tim Blackwell seemed to hint that a new romance might be afoot, noting that Kate looked particularly glam for just a ‘work’ day.

Commenting on a photograph of her wearing the same black dress from the outing, Tim questioned: ‘Why’s Kate so dressed up for work?’

Kate and John were last seen together in January during a PDA-filled holiday in Byron Bay, New South Wales.

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

Court extracts reveal John was charged with careless driving in March 2015, but was not convicted.

While it’s unclear when exactly Kate and Stuart split, she hasn’t worn her wedding ring in more than a year and moved out of their marital home in Sydney’s Randwick in late 2019.

Kate moved out after police took out an interim AVO on her behalf against the former rugby league star following an incident at the property.

In December 2019, Stuart’s five-time drink driving history was revealed in a police fact sheet as he faced court for blowing 0.083 when he was pulled over by highway patrolmen in the city’s east in March of that year.
