Swimming star Emily Seebohm has confirmed she is dating Married At First Sight star and comedian Ryan Gallagher.
The three-time Olympic champion, 30, is currently appearing alongside Gallagher on Channel 10 reality show The Challenge Australia.
There has been increasing speculation of a romance between Seebohm and Gallagher.
Last month, Gallagher was asked on Sydney radio station 2Day FM if he was in a relationship with the Olympian who won gold at the 2020 Tokyo games, the London 2012 Olympics and Beijing in 2008.
“Em is a beautiful, beautiful girl, and if there was a relationship there, I’d be very lucky,” he told the presenters at the time.
On Tuesday the pair appeared to make it official however posting simultaneous
Instagram posts.
“Letting you in on a little secret,” wrote Seebohm with an image of her and Gallagher smiling on a balcony.
At the same time Gallagher posted an image of Seebohm with her hands draped over him with a smiley face emoji.
Various stars congratulated the couple.
“Outstanding,” replied former A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw.
“Gold for Australia,” wrote comedian and presenter Dave Hughes.
Rhonda Burchmore said the announcement was “bloody magnificent”.
Gallagher took up comedy after starring in Married at Frist Sight where he was matched up – and broke up – with Davina Rankin.
He then appeared in I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!.
Sadly, The Challenge is faring less well then Seebohm and Gallagher’s relationship.
The show, hosted by singer Brihony Dawson, has been shifted from the main Channel 10 onto 10 Shake where there are fewer viewers, according to website TV BlackBox.
The decision comes after the show debuted last week with fewer than 100,000 viewers across the five capital cities.
