The Challenge Australia‘s Brittany Hockley has rung in the New Year with a new boyfriend, Celtic Football Club player Ben Siegrist.
News of her new romance comes after the 35-year-old previously revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show and her Life Uncut podcast that she’ll only date fellas with a blue tick, using the exclusive dating app Raya to meet them.
ICYMI: This time last year, she was announcing her split from Australian tennis star Jordan Thompson who she also met on the celebrity dating app.
Now, fast forward 12 months and it seems Raya has worked its charm again!
As revealed in episode 243 of the So Dramatic! podcast, a friend of the serial reality star confirmed that Brittany and the Swiss athlete “matched on Raya a few months ago”.
“[They] started talking and then met up in real life when he came to Sydney in November to play in the Sydney Super Cup,” they said. “They’ve been talking to each other ever since.”
They also said that “things are getting serious”, with Brittany travelling to Scotland “during the Christmas break to spend time with him and see if they could make it work”.
“He joked with her she should fly over and give him a New Years’ kiss, and she said, ‘OK, why not’, and went over to see him.” BALLSY!
Now, Brittany has made no secret of the fact that she’s holidaying in Scotland, sharing several snaps from her travels, as well as a few teasers of her new bae.
What has Brittany Hockley shared about her new boyfriend Ben Siegrist?
Over the Christmas break, Brittany posted a photo of her travelling in business class before a string of posts from Scotland boasting the famous Christmas markets in Glasgow (where Ben is based) and romantic dinners.
She then soft-launched her new man on New Year’s Eve with a pic of him sitting across from her at dinner. While his head was cropped out, the 30-year-old was sporting a jumper from her Life Uncut podcast‘s merch range. Not subtle at all!
What’s more, is that the former Bachelor star shared an Instagram reel of her time overseas, in which a snippet of Ben’s face featured before it cut to Brittany gazing up at him.
In the caption, she reminisced that Scotland “holds a special place in [her] heart” after living there with her sister, Sherri, “many moons ago”.
“So I’ve come back over this time on my own and I’m loving making new memories with some special people.”
Brittany Hockley UNFOLLOWED Ben Siegrist after fans caught on to her romance
While Brittany initially followed Ben and Celtic Football Club on Instagram, fans pointed out she quickly unfollowed both accounts after they caught on to the romance.
“Ben Siegrist – plays for the Celtic FC,” one fan dished about the romance in Life Uncut‘s Facebook group.
“Explains the green and white hearts [in the caption]. He was also in Sydney in December. And Britt was following him until this post.”
However, Ben still follows Brittany, as well as her Life Uncut producer Keeshia Pettit.
We wonder when we’ll get a hard launch?
