At one point, the man put a loving arm around Kate’s shoulder and kissed her forehead.

In December, Chron Australia exclusively revealed that Kate had split from cybersecurity expert John Bell, 25, after a whirlwind romance of less than a year.

“Kate is single. Lockdown is to blame,” a source said.

“Kate and John have not seen each other since January, despite the opening of the borders with Victoria a few weeks ago. She never once mentioned that she wanted to visit him.”

The couple were last seen together in January during a PDA-filled holiday in Byron Bay.

They reportedly stayed in an Airbnb and spent most of their time relaxing by their private mineral salt pool and visiting the city’s best restaurants.

John founded the security solutions business VIREOSS in September 2019.

Kate was previously married to retired NRL player Stuart Webb, with whom she shares a daughter, Mae.

The media personality recently reassured listeners that she is “fine” and will be back on her drive show Nova FM in a few weeks.

“Hello everyone, I’ll be away for a few more weeks,” she wrote on Instagram, addressing her extended late-afternoon absence.

“But in the meantime make sure you tune in to the guys who will be back live in the studio from 4pm on Monday! By the way, I’m fine and I’m looking forward to 2023.”

Kate announced in October that she was retiring from the Kate, Tim and Joel show.

It was later revealed she was seeking treatment for alcohol addiction after Chron Australia received photos of her outside a rehab facility.

Ricki-Lee Coulter has filled in during her absence.
