Showing off washboard abs and those famous dazzling blue eyes, Grant Kenny delighted in an afternoon frolic on the beach, and in the water, with the woman who is putting a smile back on his face.
“They were giggling and laughing and she had her arms around him,” explains one eagle-eyed holidaymaker, who spotted the happy pair soaking up the sun on Mooloolaba Beach on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on New Year’s Day.
“They were giggling and laughing…”
The extremely private former ironman, 59, wasn’t returning calls last week to confirm the rumoured romance, but the lady lighting up his life could barely keep her hands off him on the beach.
It became even more romantic when Grant gave her a ride back to his waterfront mansion on his surfboard across the Mooloolah River – she couldn’t stop giggling as he lay on top of her paddling to get them safely home!

His newfound happiness will bring joy to family and friends who have been comforting him since the devastating loss of his daughter with Lisa Curry, 60, Jaimi, who sadly died of complications from an eating disorder and alcoholism two years ago, aged just 33.
Lisa even hinted she’d be over the moon if Grant found a new partner in an interview she did last year, confirming they’re still the best of friends despite Lisa remarrying.
Grant is a former ironman.

Lisa and Grant had enjoyed a 23-year marriage that saw them become the most famous couple in Australia, before their shock split in 2009.
Lisa later found love again and married Elvis impersonator Mark Tabone, 54, in 2018.
Grant also went on to find love again after the split – with radio presenter Fifi Box, 45. But they kept their relationship secret from everyone except his closest family and friends, refusing even to confirm Grant was the father of Fifi’s daughter, nine-year-old Trixie – until three years after her birth!
