Georgia Love fuels romance rumours with fellow radio star as they dress up in 'couples' outfit - following her public split from husband Lee Elliot
Georgia Love has continued to fuel romance rumours with her radio co-star Gareth Thomson, following her shock separation from husband Lee Elliot. The former Bachelorette star, 35, stunned fans when she parted ways with her partner in February after nine years together - four of which were in matrimony. However, speculation has spread the beauty already has a new man, as she and her colleague Gareth have been spotted spending time together of later. She continued to fan those flames on Friday when she shared an image to Instagram of herself and Gareth dressing up as fictional couple Barbie and Ken. Georgia put on a leggy display in a strapless black and white striped dress as she struck a doll-like pose and accessorised with a pair of dark glasses. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She stood beside Gareth, who also adopted a stiff pose as he wore a colourful tracksuit. It's unclear why the pair were dressing up; however, Georgia tagged the radio station she works at - Gold 104.3. She also included colleague Phoebe Humphrey in the photo, who dressed up as Sandy Olsson from Grease, indicating the trio were in costume for work. It comes after Georgia first sparked romance rumours with Gareth on Wednesday when she shared a selfie of the pair at the opening night of a theatre show. The workmates were all smiles as the cosied up for photo while attending the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch in Melbourne. In the picture, the newly single reality TV star paired large gold hoops with a denim dress and a black coat as she gleamed in the sweet snap. As for her musical buddy, who also works with her at Gold 104.3, Gareth wore a black jacket over a black shirt, unbuttoned to show a little bit of chest hair for the night out. However, it was Georgia's caption of the post which really raised eyebrows and sent tongues wagging. 'Your mum and dad had a midweek night out and sent a photo as proof,' she wrote across the picture while tagging Gareth. A follow-up picture showed Gareth taking a picture of the pair's matching glittery boots before they headed into the show. Georgia and Gareth posed together on the red carpet, cuddling up close as they enjoyed their night out at the theatre. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Georgia and Gareth for comment. This isn't the first time the pair have been spotted attending musicals together. In May, Georgia and Gareth attended the opening night of Hadestown at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne, where they posed on the red carpet side-by-side. Gareth is also in showbiz, with his Instagram biography indicating he was the writer of Schapelle, Schapelle - The Musical based on the life of Schapelle Corby. It comes after news Georgia and ex-husband Lee are set to put their marital home in Melbourne under the hammer. The high-profile pair, who first met on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, have listed the spacious Hampton East pad with a price range of $1.5million to $1.58million. Georgia and Lee, who announced their split in February, paid an estimated $1.35million for the chic ultra-modern two-storey townhouse in 2021. The former couple, who were married for four years, announced their breakup four months ago. The couple broke the news of their separation with identical posts on Instagram in February. 'After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, [we] have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways,' they wrote. 'Our relationship has been so special and we will always cherish the memories, love, and laughter we've shared. 'There is no drama, no bad blood,' the emotional statement continued. 'Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other.

'Gutted': Eagles great McGovern medically retires
A "gutted" Jeremy McGovern will leave the AFL as a West Coast great after being forced into premature retirement through concussion. McGovern announced his 197-game career was over on Friday, with the decision made for the key defender by the AFL's concussion panel. The 2018 premiership player suffered a head knock in the Eagles' round-eight fixture against Melbourne and was referred to the panel after failing to recover following the mandatory 12-day period. Lauded as the intercept king, the 33-year-old etched himself into West Coast history with his famous mark in their 2018 grand final win. Overcoming internal bleeding in the lead-up to the eventual five-point victory, McGovern's quality shone through when he ditched his man - Collingwood star Jordan De Goey - to intercept Adam Treloar's kick inside-50. The move kickstarted the chain that ended in Dom Sheed's match-winning goal. He finished that season with 77 intercept marks, the most in 2018. "It's been an absolute honour to pull on the West Coast jumper for the past 15 years and it's something that I will forever be grateful for," McGovern said in a club statement. "As much as this isn't the way I would have liked to go out, I respect the decision. "I'm gutted I don't get to pull the jumper on and run out one more time, but sometimes this is the way the game goes." McGovern arrived at the Eagles from North Albany with pick No.44 in the 2010 rookie draft. But it wasn't until mid-way through the 2014 season, at age 22, that McGovern earned his AFL debut under former coach Adam Simpson. The lynchpin of the Eagles defence, McGovern established himself in 2015 and earned four-straight All-Australian nods from 2016 to 2019. He ends his career as the club's reigning John Worsfold medallist and as a five-time All-Australian, having collected another blazer in 2024. "To the club, I can't explain how much you have given me over my time here, and I can't thank you enough for drafting a fat kid from Albany and giving him a crack," McGovern said. "I've always loved the game and winning a premiership is every kid's dream, but the lifelong friendships and relationships you build through footy mean more to me than anything. "I will forever be indebted to West Coast, and I will always bleed blue and gold." McGovern's exit follows that of former West Coast teammate Luke Edwards, who stepped away from the game last October to focus on his recovery from multiple concussions. Collingwood duo Nathan Murphy and Josh Carmichael, Melbourne premiership player Angus Brayshaw and Western Bulldogs draftee Aiden O'Driscoll also had their careers cut short in 2024 because of concussion.

Hair...flow it, grow it, show it... as long as God allows it!
On God Forbid we're talking about the sacred strands that sprout from our skulls. Whether it's being grown long, shaved off, or covered up -- hair has long been a point of contention for faith communities. Claims of both modesty and freedom come up when we discuss hair coverings, and often a similar piece of fabric will elicit very different responses depending on the religion of the person wearing it. From turbans to tonsures, hijabs to high-top fades -- hair is more than style, it's spiritual. GUESTS: Michael D. Barbezat, historian of medieval European religious history.

Success is baked for rising star apprentice jockey Jaylah Kennedy
Rising star Jaylah Kennedy is second in pursuit of the Melbourne apprentice jockey title but certainly atop the popularity stakes for sharing home-baked sweet treats on race day. A decadent batch of 'brookies', combined brownie and chocolate chip cookie slice, cut into jockey portion-sized squares, attracted rave reviews last Wednesday at Sandown. Kennedy is lucky to be genetically-blessed to indulge her passion for cooking and baking, an unlikely pastime for most jockeys given the importance of weight management. 'It's a little thing I enjoy doing on the side, when I'm not riding light,' Kennedy said. 'It's cold in winter, so nice to bring something in that can warm peoples' tummies. 'I love cooking, I love baking, I just bought a house and it's got a nice kitchen so I'm making use of it. 'I'm lucky I'm four foot nine … any taller and if I cooked and bake like I do, I probably wouldn't be a jockey.' Jockeys, trainers, race-day officials and stewards polished the brookies last Wednesday. 'I told the stewards they can't suspend me if they're going to eat my baking,' Kennedy laughed. 'I made them bite-sized jockey pieces so everyone could enjoy.' Kennedy has six rides at Flemington on Saturday, including the electric Bold Bastille in the last. 'She's naturally very speedy, I made my way to Werribee the other day to trial her, hoping to keep her race day first-up, and she did everything right,' Kennedy said. 'She pulled up like a horse ready to go to the races now … first up she could be maybe that little bit vulnerable late but … she'll be there to take a bit of running down.' Kennedy has ridden 20 city winners to date this season, one less than clubhouse leader Tom Prebble, a friend and fellow fourth-year apprentice. Prebble has the stronger hand on Saturday with six rides, including favourites Splash Back and Jimmy The Bear. 'I've been going to the races thinking anything can happen lately,' Kennedy said. 'An open book and try not to overthink this. Hopefully it's a good weekend. 'It comes down to the support you've got around you, I've been getting a lot of good opportunities with a lot of big stables … it's always good to be able to repay them. 'This is my first full season riding in town and I'm happy with how things are going, hopefully we can tick off the metro premiership, it's a really big goal of mine this season. 'It's pretty competitive between me and Tom Prebble, he's one of my best mates but at the same I'd be happy to be in first place and him second.' Apprentice jockeys rode five of the nine winners last Saturday at Sandown. â– â– â– â– â– Flemington victory next as Rose blooms A dream Flemington winner would cap a memorable week for apprentice jockey Rose Hammond. Hammond the past seven days has doubled her tally of city winners, now up to four, with success at Sandown Hillside last Saturday and Wednesday respectively. The Melbourne-based Echuca export has two rides at Headquarters on Saturday including the Matt Laurie -trained Yulong-owned filly Sun Setting, a $21 outsider in a competitive 1100m race. Sun Setting has won comfortably the past two starts at Moe and Mornington. 'I'm really excited for her,' Hammond said. 'A huge thank you to (Laurie), he's been a great supporter of mine and backs me. 'Hopefully I get the job done for him … in the Yulong colours, so really keen for that.' Hammond is determined to make up for lost time, as early injury setbacks hampered her progress and riding development. The 22-year-old suffered a broken leg in track work, before she even started her apprenticeship, and then missed time with a fractured collarbone and multiple concussions. 'I've always wanted to be a jockey so that determination is in me, I couldn't think of doing anything else, I love my job,' Hammond said. 'Hopefully the next two years (of apprenticeship) are smooth sailing, got the injuries out of the way. 'I know I've got a lot of improvement to come so hopefully I can keep working on my craft and get momentum.'
