And the former Home and Away star has her radio co-hosts, Fitzy and Wippa, to thank for the budding romance!

Will, a 30-year-old financial advisor with the serious-sounding company Canaccord Genuity, was one of three eligible bachelors the radio jocks handpicked as suitors for single Kate, 45, in late May.

“I’m all about personality and Will’s got it all,” Kate says of her new man.

TOUGH TIMES

It hasn’t been the easiest path to finding love for Kate, who shares nine-year-old daughter Mae with her footballer ex-husband, Stuart Webb.

Her most recent relationship, with Chevy Black, ended in November after less than a year. Prior to that, she dated security consultant John Bell, who was 17 years her junior, until they split in late 2021.

Kate has always been candid about her personal struggles since her divorce in 2020. She took a well-earned career break early last year to seek treatment for alcohol dependency.

“Life has thrown me its challenges over the last few years, but I am not alone in that,” she admits. “I was fortunate to be able to take time.”

She adds, “I just wanted to be a better version of myself for me and my family.”

Since then, she’s focused on herself and kept an open mind about finding love again.

And after speaking candidly about her single life on her radio show, it seems her fans are all for her blossoming romance with Will! “Awww he’s a little bit cute. Good pick Kate. Australia’s very own Will & Kate,” a fan wrote.
