Australian tennis legend Pat Cash has found love again.

Cash was courtside at Wimbledon in the Royal Box with Charlotte Hodson who is a singer/songwriter and massage therapist.

At the end of the tournament Cash posted pictures to social media smiling and enjoying the hospitality with Hodson.

The Melbourne raised commentator and coach posed alongside fellow tennis great Bjorn Borg, actor Benedict Cumberbatch, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar and fashion leader David Lauren.

Cash, 60, who has been working with rising American tennis player Kayla Day, had a famous victory at Wimbledon in 1987 over Ivan Lendl.

He has largely kept out of the spotlight with his private life.

He has four children and became a dad at 21 — previously married to Emily Bendit with whom he has twin sons, and prior to that, he had two children with his then-girlfriend, Norwegian model Anne-Britt Kristiansen, in his early twenties.

At age 44 he became a grandfather.

In 2011 Cash was romantically linked to TV host Tania Zaetta.

He said his children saved his life, telling The Guardian in 2014: “If it wasn’t for my kids, I might have killed myself. I suffered from severe depression from the age of 19 until 35. It’s no secret I experimented with drugs when I was younger, but the real issue was why I felt the need to. It was down to the stress I was under playing for my country, the expectations I put on myself and the expectations people put on me. I ended up checking into rehab for depression. Things got better when I retired from playing professionally.”
