Former cricket WAG Kyly Clarke and Supercars driver James Courtney have made their debut as a couple at the Bathurst 1000 race in Bathurst, NSW.
Kyly, 39, a longtime fan of motorsports and former grid girl, beamed with pride as she supported her boyfriend trackside at the Mount Panorama circuit on Sunday.

James, 40, the driver of the #44 Boost Mobile Ford Mustang, couldn’t hide his happiness as he smiled at Kyly, who wrapped up warm in a fur-lined puffer jacket.
Rumours they were dating surfaced in the Sydney tabloids on Thursday, but neither commented on the reports at the time.
However, their latest sighting leaves little doubt the pair are, in fact, an item.

It’s the first new relationship for Kyly since her separation from retired Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke last year.
The Clarkes quietly parted ways in September 2019, after seven years of marriage, but did not announce their separation until five months later, in February.
Despite being in the midst of a divorce said to be worth $40million, the exes remain on amicable terms as they co-parent their four-year-old daughter, Kelsey Lee.

Michael, 39, has long since moved on from his failed marriage, and is now dating fashion designer and P.E Nation co-founder Pip Edwards.
The retired batsman started dating Pip, 40, with whom he’d been friends for more than a decade, after separating from Kyly.
They denied their romance for months, insisting they were just friends, but eventually went public in July while on a family holiday in Noosa, Queensland.
