Multi-millionaire fitness guru Kayla Itsines has revealed the new man in her life following her shock split from ex fiance Tobi Pearce in 2020.

The much-loved influencer, who has a combined social media following of more than 40 million, shared a sweet snap introducing her “best friend” as they embraced in a hug.

“Meet Jae, everyone!️ My best friend for years and now, partner,” she wrote.

The SWEAT app co-founder hasn’t revealed how long she’s been dating fellow fitness enthusiast and personal trainer, Jae Woodroffe, but she told fans she’s “very happy”.

“For all those people replying to my stories saying ‘you look really happy’ … thank you!! I am,” she later updated her caption to read.

Her relationship announcement comes days after her ex also shared a snap of his new partner Rachel Dillon, 28, who also runs her own fitness empire, Move With Us.

“Happiness. I’m glad I stumbled upon you @racheljdillon,” Tobi, 29, wrote alongside a photo locking lips with his new love.

Kayla, 30, and Tobi were together for eight years before calling it quits in August 2020, 16 months after announcing their engagement.

The pair, who share daughter, Arna Leia, 2, and co-founded SWEAT, had told fans they made the “difficult decision” to split but would remain “good friends”.

Kayla and Tobi Pearce, 29, co-founded SWEAT, but went on to sell it one month after announcing their split in August 2020. They reportedly enjoyed a ‘50-50 split of proceeds. Picture: Instagram

“After eight years together, Tobi and I have come to the difficult decision to separate as a couple. We will always be family, and remain good friends and devoted parents to Arn,” Kayla posted at the time.

“We have grown up together in Adelaide, sharing a lifetime of experiences and special memories from moving into our first apartment and starting SWEAT from our lounge room to becoming parents to our beautiful daughter.

The couple built valuable fitness empires throughout their relationship, starting with the Bikini Body Training company – which they later renamed SWEAT.

A month after announcing their split, the pair sold their health and fitness empire to US software giant iFIT Health & Fitness Inc for a reported $400 million.

According to The Australian, the pair enjoyed a ‘50-50 split of proceeds’.

In 2020, the SWEAT app generated a huge $99.5 million in revenue, with the majority of sales coming from the American market, the AustralianFinancial Review reported.

Kayla announced the takeover in July last year, but reassured members SWEAT will remain a stand-alone brand.

“I will still be your trainer and all of our programs are not changing or going anywhere,” she told her Instagram followers.

“iFIT is a global health and fitness technology company that will invest in SWEAT to strengthen our member experience. They will also help us expand into other countries and help to diversify our workout content which is so exciting.”

Just weeks after announcing her split, a posting on realestate.com.au revealed the 30-year-old and her former partner were selling their five-bedroom family home in South Australia.

The suburban median was set at $1.212 million at the time, with the pair asking prospective buyers for “best offers”.

It’s not known how much it sold for.

In 2018, both Kayla and Tobi were named joint fifth on the Australian Financial Review’s Young Rich List, making them the wealthiest self-made 20-somethings in Australia.
