The nature of their relationship is yet to be confirmed.
It seems the celebrity is taking advantage of her time away from the spotlight while everyone waits for Kate Ritchie to make her significant return to her Nova radio show.
Kate, 44, announced late last year that she was taking a break from her well-known career before later admitting in a statement that she was working on her alcoholism and had “decided to use this time to do something positive by getting the help I need from professionals who specialize in this area.”
Now Woman’s Day can reveal that Kate has a helping hand when she needs it. These new images demonstrate Kate’s growing attachment to Chevy Black, a beautiful hunk.
But Kate hasn’t formally declared a new relationship, Woman’s Day understands the couple has become more intimate recently. According to reports, the friends have been hanging out together for the most of the summer break, with Kate joining outings with Chevy’s close-knit family.
“She’s been introduced to the family, including Chevy’s mother and siblings,” tells a source.
Following the group’s appearance together in public in Sydney earlier this month, Mae, Kate’s daughter, also seems to enjoy Chevy, who is described as being like a devoted uncle.
The eight-year-old, who Kate and ex-NRL star Stuart Webb share, has also been seen spending time with Kate’s new pal at the park.
Chevy, who is from Taree on the NSW Mid North Coast, is described as a “gentle and lovable type of guy” by a source who knows him in an interview with Woman’s Day.
Indeed, the photos show how close they have become, with the pair enjoying a kiss at Clovelly Beach last week as Sydney’s weather heated up over the weekend.
Kate reportedly split from her ex-boyfriend, businessman John Bell, late last year, following her headline-making separation from her husband Stuart in 2019 and divorce in 2020.
