Former NRL star Alex McKinnon appears to have a new lady in his life two years after his shock divorce.
McKinnon, who played for the Newcastle Knights before a spinal injury left him in a wheelchair, has debuted a new woman on social media who is reportedly his girlfriend.
In a recent post to Instagram, the former sport star, 32, seemed to confirm his new relationship as he posed with 22-year-old Lily Malone in matching pink outfits.

The photo is reportedly from Malone’s 22nd birthday, which McKinnon attended.
The former athlete captioned the photo dump with a single cake emoji that seemed to reference Malone’s birthday celebrations from the weekend.
Malone, who is also studying at the University of Newcastle, currently has her Instagram page switched to private.

The relationship update comes just months after McKinnon’s ex-wife Teigan Power hard launched her own relationship with new beau Jake Nelson.
In December 2023, Power, 30, confirmed she is dating Nelson with an adorable clip of the pair sharing some PDA on a trip to the Hunter Valley.
In the short clip, the couple shared a kiss before sharing their ‘appreciation’ for one another in the comments section beneath the post.
“Appreciate you”, Nelson wrote while Power replied sweetly with “Appreciate you hunni.”
Since going public with their romance, Power has shared some heartwarming updates of her new relationship with her 42,800 followers.
On January 3, the mum-of-three shared a cute selfie and pictures from what appeared to be a vacation with new boyfriend with the caption “Happy here with you 🤍”

A month later, the pair celebrated Valentine’s Day with a sweet black and white snap together.
Power was previously married to former NRL star McKinnon for five years before the pair announced their shock split in April 2022 after 12 years together.
“At this time, Alex and I are navigating this period of change together privately,” she confirmed their split to her Instagram story.
“We have the utmost respect for each other, and are both very grateful for the people, as well as all of the support that we have in our lives!”
The pair, who share three daughters Harriet and twins Violet and Audrey together, became known for their inspirational love story following McKinnon’s 2014 accident.
During a game in 2014, McKinnon was tackled and fractured his C4 and C5 vertebrate, leaving him in a wheelchair.
High school sweethearts Power and McKinnon became engaged in 2014 after the athlete’s injury, and later married in 2017 before calling it quits five years later.
The pair have continue to co-parent together and have on rare occasions shared each other on social media since their split.
