Danika Mason stepped out with her NRL star boyfriend Liam Knight just hours after the couple made it Instagram official.
The Channel Nine reporter, 33, and the Canterbury Bulldogs forward, 29, were pictured heading out for lunch on Saturday morning in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
The new couple wrapped up warm as they headed to a Coogee cafe amid the chilly Sydney winter weather.
Mason smiled broadly as he walked alongside the Alice Springs-born athlete, with both members of the pair sporting heavy winter jackets.
The sports journalist wore black PE Nation sportswear for the walk, as well as dark Nike sneakers.
Meanwhile, Liam was wearing a lilac hoodie, black sweatpants and Crocs with socks on his feet.
The former Rabbitoh held his phone and bottle, as well as the leash of Danika’s chocolate Labrador Charlie, as they walked.
Once seated in the café, Mason further insulated herself from the cold by covering her legs with a blanket.

Danika officially debuted her new romance just months after dumping her fiancé weeks before they were set to tie the knot.
Todd and Danika were due to marry on 27 October at Greystone Estate in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley before she cancelled the wedding three weeks earlier.
The exact reason for the couple’s split is unclear and has become the subject of much speculation among football pundits and the media.
Less than two weeks before the wedding was called off, the couple were spotted arm in arm at a BYD electric car launch event and showroom in Alexandria, Sydney.
Following their split, another ex-girlfriend of Todd’s (who dated him for seven years before he started dating Danika) offered him a message of support.
“I can only hope that Danika hasn’t been blindsided like I was or gone through something similar. If she has, my heart goes out to her,” the ex told Daily Mail Australia.

The couple went public with their romance after months of speculation, with the footballer embracing Danika in a photo shared on his page.
This publication previously revealed that Todd asked Danika to return her diamond engagement ring through a third party because it was a family heirloom.
Danika, who in addition to presenting Wide World of Sports is a sideline reporter for Nine’s NRL coverage, was first seen cuddling with Liam earlier this year.
The TV star was spotted showing her PDA for the 29-year-old Bulldogs athlete at The Butler restaurant in Sydney’s exclusive Potts Point in February.

An onlooker told Daily Mail Australia at the time that Danika appeared smitten with the footballer and was practically sitting on his lap as she gazed longingly into his eyes.
They began the evening sitting opposite each other, before Liam moved to Danika’s side of the table and they cuddled up in full view of onlookers.
“Her demeanor was that of a relaxed woman enjoying a pre-season adventure with a younger animal; his was that of a deer blinded by the headlights of a car,” the witness said.
