State of Origin winner Mitchell Pearce has a new lady in his life.

Eighteen months after splitting with Zoe Grant, the woman he credited with getting his life back on track following an infamous late-night antic, Pearce has debuted new squeeze Kristin Scott.

Not much is known about Scott, other than that she looks eerily similar to Grant and is a dancer from Wollongong.

The pretty brunette was sitting front row on Wednesday night when Pearce helped steer the Blues to victory and the coveted Origin trophy.

She posted a photograph of herself and her new man holding the trophy in the NSW dressing room after the game.

Scott captioned the picture: “The smiles say it all. What a night!”

Pearce went public with Grant when he took her as his plus-one to the Dally M Awards in 2016.

They had hooked up in August of that year, months after he was stripped of the Sydney Roosters’ co-captaincy following a night of drunken antics.

At the time Pearce spoke about how he had turned his life around with the support of Grant, who runs a fashion blog.

The pair had much in common, with their fathers, Wayne Pearce and James Grant, having played together for the Balmain Tigers in their heartbreaking 1989 grand final loss to the Canberra Raiders.
