ONE day after officially announcing their breakup, Olympic champion Mitch Larkin has moved out of the million-dollar home he purchased with ex-partner and fellow swimmer Emily Seebohm — and top of his list of items to shift was a beloved pot plant.
While The Sunday Telegraph understands the swimming golden couple split a few weeks ago, Seebohm took to Instagram to announce the relationship was over on Friday — just hours after this newspaper made inquiries about the breakup.
The Brisbane pair, considered the poster couple of Australian swimming, had been dating for more than two years.
“I would like to take this opportunity before more speculation and rumours are spread,” Seebohm wrote alongside an image of herself and her dog.
“Due to … events that have occurred, Mitch Larkin and I have decided to end our relationship and go our separate ways.”
It is understood Larkin ended the relationship with social media full of messages of support for Seebohm, including swim teammate Madeline Groves, who wrote, “Got your back” with a punching fist emoji.
The breakup comes one year after the once loved-up Olympian pair purchased a $1,375,000 property in Hendra, Brisbane.
The pair, they are due to join the Australian swim team leaving for a staging camp in Cairns today — the start of a month-long trip for the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Tokyo from August 9 to 13.
They are also two of seven swimmers set to take part in a Great Barrier Reef expedition to raise awareness for the health of the reef this Saturday.
