Kyly Clarke shares loved-up photo holding her Supercars racer boyfriend James Courtney’s hand as the pair’s romance heats up… one week after the duo finally went Instagram official

She solidified her romance with new boyfriend James Courtney with a sweet Instagram picture last week.

And the touching ‘moments’ keep on coming from Kyly Clarke, 39 – as she shared a sweet picture gripping onto her man’s hand while the pair went for a drive together on Saturday.

The adorable black-and-white image – which Kyly aptly captioned as ‘moments’ – saw her lean over to caress her other half’s hand while resting on his thigh.

He swiftly re-posted the loved-up snap to his own Instagram feed.

Only a week ago, the duo finally went Instagram official after rumours of their romance swirled for weeks.   

The ex-wife of cricketer Michael Clark shared a sweet picture of herself cuddled up to her new beau, 40, as they holidayed together with pals in Byron Bay.

Smitten! Kyly debuted her new romance at the Bathurst 1000, where James Courtney was racing. She was pictured cosying up to him and beaming in his company at the race track. Pictured at the Bathurst 1000 on Sunday, October 18

While she only captioned the photo with a winking face, James posted something with a little more meaning – writing: ‘Quarantine hasn’t been too bad!’ 

In the sun-kissed image, the pair were all smiles as Kyly sweetly leaned her head against her man while enjoying a hike in the great outdoors.

Kyly had first been pictured with James at the Bathurst 1000 weeks ago – a year after her split with Michael in September 2019.

‘It is early days but they are very happy,’ a source told The Daily Telegraph at the time. 

‘Kyly loves motorsports; it is something she has been passionate about since childhood. They just clicked.’

She’s believed to have first met James when she was just 11, and they recently got back in contact via social media.

Meanwhile, Kyly’s ex Michael, 39, is now in a relationship with activewear designer Pip Edwards, 40.

While the exes continue on their separate ways with new partners, they have been far from subtle on social media with competitive posts about their new lives and lovers.

She and Michael were romantically linked just days after Michael and Kyly announced their split back in February. 

They confirmed their relationship in July, when they were spotted enjoying a romantic vacation in Noosa.

Despite being in the midst of a divorce estimated to be worth $40million, the former couple remain on amicable terms as they co-parent their daughter, Kelsey Lee.
