A new loved-up photo of jockeys Jamie Kah and Ben Melham overseas has surfaced on social media.
Melham posted the photo of him and Kah to his Instagram account on Monday night Australian time.
In the photo taken at Capri in Italy, Melham’s arm is around Kah and the pair look happy and content.
It comes after a happy snap of Kah and Melham at Royal Ascot earlier this month set tongues wagging.
Rumours about the pair have been going around for months with talk increasing across the racing industry during last month’s Warrnambool races.
Kah, 26, who was engaged to fellow jockey Clayton Douglas, was snapped with Melham’s arm around her in the back of a car in England.
Melham, 34, is recovering from shoulder surgery after a fall in March.
He is expected to resume race riding in July.
Social media photos show Kah has also been travelling in Europe with a girlfriend.
Melham and Kah were both caught at the infamous illegal Airbnb party last year.
Along with fellow riders Mark Zahra, Celine Gaudray, and Ethan Brown, they were busted breaking Victoria’s Covid-19 laws in August and were handed fines and lengthy suspensions, meaning they missed the spring carnival.
Zahra was also at Royal Ascot.
Kah’s camp has previously denied she is in a relationship with Melham but racing sources believe they have been seeing each other for some time.
Kah is one of the country’s most celebrated sporting figures, last year becoming the first jockey in the history of Victorian racing to ride 100 metropolitan winners in a season.
Kah’s management team has not commented about Kah’s relationship status.
