The very private star can no longer hide his feelings for his girlfriend …
Proudly showing off their love at their first official public engagement together, at a Melbourne Comedy Festival event last week, Rove McManus and Tasma Walton looked on top of the world.
With Tasma’s arm draped affectionately around Rove’s shoulder as they posed together in the Green Room, the beaming pair’s intense body language was unmistakable.
An onlooker backstage at Gala: The Arena Spectacular exclusively tells Woman’s Day that the couple appeared finally ready to share their private joy with the world.
“Tasma arrived separately with friends, but came backstage to see Rove in the interval,” the onlooker reveals.
The photos coincide with Rove finally opening up about his commitment to his new love, revealing that he’s so happy again. Even though they’ve been dating since last October, it’s only now that the TV WEEK Gold Logie winner has publicly revealed how his life’s changed since he fell in love with Tasma.
“It’s going well,” the comedian told Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph about his relationship with the former Blue Heelers star.
“We are very happy, and I am very happy and it is a nice time and place to be in.”
‘We’re doing well’
Speaking of the intense public interest in the relationship from the beginning, Rove told Adelaide’s The Advertiser. “It’s not conducive to helping a relationship find its feet, it puts a lot of pressure … but we’re doing well, we’re doing well.”
Rove’s career is also enjoying new highs. Not only has he just taken to the stage for a national stand-up tour, he remains one of Australia’s top personalities and his popular show Rove Live is slated for a March 30 return to TV.
Looking happy, fitter and more relaxed than ever after a recent trip to Britain with Tasma, Rove is a far cry from that lonely figure seen after the devastating death of his wife, Belinda Emmett, in November 2006.
