Elvis impersonator Mark Andrew is all shook up after falling in love with Olympic champion Lisa Curry.

“Christmas was really nice last year because we were all together,” ­Andrew said.

“Grant (Kenny) was there and it was great because we’re all on good terms so it’s very supportive for their kids.

“My kids are happy, too, because I’m also on good terms with my ex-wife  It’s all about timing, friendship and respect.”

Andrew and Curry met during a charity walk in 2015.

“Something just clicked. We’re both in our 50s. I wasn’t really ready for another relationship but we both fell in love. We both think it’s really important to remain friends with our ex-partners and be amiable, even through a breakup.

“You have to support each other and not turn on each other because that could get really nasty and it’s so important for the children as well.

“The similar stories that Lisa and I have made us bond and relate to each other.”

They have made Melbourne their second home, visiting frequently and staying at their place in St Kilda.

“Lisa loves coming here and catching up with my four kids and when we’re at our property in the Sunshine Coast, we catch up with her three children and one grandchild,” Andrew said.

Andrew is regarded as one of the world’s best Elvis impersonators, touring the US annually with his music history show.

“I don’t just walk on stage in an Elvis costume,” Andrew said.

“I give people the illusion that it could be Elvis up there on stage.”

He is about to star in The Ultimate Vegas Show at Crown and is preparing to bring his entertainment closer to home at retreats held in the couple’s large Queensland property in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

He will perform while Curry manages the self-improvement and health components.
