After Kate’s messy split from husband Stuart Webb was highly publicised, fans rejoiced when New Idea exclusively revealed the radio host looking smitten with her new man called John over the holidays.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, the 42-year-old is love-locked with a Mr. John Bell, who has been running his own security company for just over a year, located around an hour-and-a-half outside of Melbourne. 

And if his now-private Instagram is anything to go by, John is a big fan of travel and horse-racing.

According to our insiders, Kate and John stayed at local Airbnb in the NSW hinterland and spent their days lounging by the pool, relishing in the hillside solitude and occasionally strolling through the coastal town to dine out.

“When we saw them, they were hugging non-stop and acting like giddy teenagers,” spilled an onlooker, who spotted Kate and John on one of their rare excursions. “They then got some takeaway breakfast and headed to the beach to eat.”

While the seriousness of the relationship is still in question, sources indicate that the actress is not so fussed with the long-term right now.
