Kate Ritchie reveals weight loss and heads out without wedding ring

Kate Ritchie revealed her recent weight loss while strolling through a park in Sydney on Wednesday.  

The former Home And Away actress appeared slimmer in an all-black ensemble consisting of skinny jeans, a jumper and matching fedora hat. 

Radio star Kate chose not to wear her wedding ring from estranged husband Stuart Webb, following the couple’s recent AVO drama and his drink driving charge.

Sporting a solemn expression, Kate appeared to go makeup-free and left her cropped brunette locks to fall loosely by her shoulders. 

She accessorised her look with a series of silver rings worn on her right hand and a pair of lace-up sneakers with leopard print detailing. 

The mother-of-one clutched her mobile phone and car keys in one hand while carrying the rest of her belongings in a black leather cross-body bag.

Kate attempted to hide her wedding finger once she realised she was being photographed, according to onlookers.

The sighting comes after a report in New Idea magazine claimed Kate and Stuart were working on their marriage by attending ‘counselling’ together.  

‘Stuart has been trying to show Kate that he’s a changed man and is serious about getting his life in order,’ a ‘friend’ allegedly told the publication in April.

The ‘source’ claimed the pair have recently been meeting up to ‘work through things’ as Stuart knows ‘this is his last chance.’ 

Kate and Stuart were last spotted together in February to celebrate daughter Mae’s first day of school. 

The reunion came three months after the actress 41, reportedly moved out of their marital home after police took out an interim AVO on her behalf against the NRL star, 39, following an incident at her house in Randwick.

In December, Stuart made headlines for his five-time drink driving history.

His driving history was revealed in a police fact sheet, as he faced court for blowing 0.083 when he was pulled over by highway patrolmen in the city’s east in March last year.

Stuart appeared in front of a magistrate on the same day that NSW Police told Daily Mail Australia that he will not be charged over a separate ‘incident’ at home with Kate in October.

That ended in an interim AVO being brought against him, which banned him being in Kate’s company within 12 hours of drinking alcohol.

Court documents about the March incident said Stuart had ‘glazed and bloodshot’ eyes when he was pulled over by highway patrolmen in Randwick.

He had just run a red light and was also driving home on a suspended licence. In court documents, police described Webb as a drink driving ‘repeat offender’.

Daily Mail Australia confirmed Kate had moved out of the couple’s marital home in Sydney’s Randwick, in October.

Recently, the former couple have reportedly been spending weekends away in a last bid to save their marriage.
