The former swim star beams alongside a Miranda Kerr lookalike 13 years his junior.
Putting his public breakdown and marriage troubles far behind him, a fit looking Grant Hackett has revealed a new girlfriend, 20-year-old model Tahlia Giumelli.
Tahlia, who won the Miss Teen Australia crown three years ago, has been instrumental in helping the Olympic gold medallist move on from his bitter and very public divorce battle with Candice Alley.
And while it is still early in their relationship, the two have been growing closer and are starting to spend more time together.
Friends of the couple say Tahlia is the perfect person to distract Grant, 33, from his woes. “She is a very sweet girl,” we’re told. “She’s really bubbly and outgoing and very social. Grant seems to love the energy she has.”
