Kate Ritchie looks absolutely smitten as she shares a sweet smooch with new boyfriend Chevy Black

Kate Ritchie and her boyfriend Chevy Black are going strength to strength after revealing their relationship last month. 

The new couple looked absolutely smitten as they shared a sweet smooch at Brisbane Airport shortly after arriving outside the terminal. 

The former Home and Away star hopped up on her tippy toes to land a kiss on the lips of her eager man. 

The 44-year-old was dressed casually in a oversized shirt with a faded animal print and white shorts. 

She completed the look with a pair of designer sunglasses and added a pair of sneakers.

The radio star appeared to have on minimal makeup and wore her brunette locks pulled back in a ponytail. 

Kate held a stack of magazines for her flight, and had a light tote bag slung over her shoulder.  

Chevy meanwhile was comfortably dressed in a white polo shirt and navy blue shorts, along with a dark cap. 

The star recently took her romance to the next level by introducing Chevy to her mother Heather and eight-year-old daughter Mae.

According to Woman’s Day, Kate and Chevy have grown incredibly close in the short time they’ve been dating, and she’s even met his family. 

‘She’s been introduced to the family, including Chevy’s mother and siblings,’ a source told the publication. 

According to the publication, Chevy is a ‘kind and lovable type of guy’.

The star’s new relationship comes after Kate split from her ex-boyfriend John Bell and her shock rehab stint for alcohol dependency. 

In October, Kate announced she was stepping away from the Kate, Tim and Joel show in October, before it was revealed she was seeking treatment at an exclusive rehab clinic in Sydney.

In December, she said in a statement that the last year had been challenging and stressful and led to an ‘unhealthy reliance on alcohol’. 

Kate has since remained silent on her return date, despite teasing in January she would be back on air with her co-hosts Joel Creasey and Tim Blackwell in a matter of weeks. 

However, in February it was reported that she may never return jumping ship to Nova’s drive show Fitzy and Wippa, replacing their co-anchor Sarah McGilvray in the coveted role. 

Current and former employees of the radio station told Daily Mail Australia they were blindsided by news McGilvray was being pushed aside to make way for incoming co-host Kate Ritchie, with some only learning about it via the press.
