Stephanie and Eamon: Look who’s back together!

Stephanie and Eamon: Look who's back together!

Four years after they broke up, the former glamour couple of swimming seem to be giving love another chance as they prepare for the London Games.

Eamon Sullivan hasn’t been lucky in love since ending his two-year relationship with golden girl Stephanie Rice on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. But things may be looking up for the handsome swimmer, who was spotted flirting up a storm with his former girlfriend just a week ago at a fashionable pizza restaurant on Sydney’s northern beaches.

“They were laughing and giggling a lot,” reports a fellow diner at the popular Manly Wharf eatery. “They sat opposite each other and there was definitely some sort of chemistry. Stephanie was really animated and joked as she handed him the menu. He seemed a little more reserved, but he was smiling.”

Eamon, 26, and Stephanie, 23, were both selected to compete at the London Olympic Games in July, and were at an orientation weekend in Manly before hooking up for dinner and drinks on Sunday night. While there were others at their table, including MasterChef  hunk Hayden Quinn, the couple seemed to have eyes only for each other, with Stephanie talking excitedly and Eamon leaning forward to catch every word.

They later left the restaurant together, before hitting Manly Wharf Hotel for more celebration drinks. Eamon, who was named CLEO Bachelor of the Year in 2011, has not had a serious relationship since splitting with Stephanie in 2008, so both could concentrate on their Olympics preparations. The fact that she lived in Brisbane and he was based in Perth didn’t help their romance, either.
