Emma and Cody have been making headlines ever since they went public earlier this year.
But Emma has revealed that she continues to focus on her swimming career despite the attention on her private life.
During an interview at Samantha Armytage’s something to talk about podcast in October, she said she had learned to ignore “outside things.”
I’m a pretty reserved person [so] I used the lessons I learned from [swimming] so I could limit myself and put those flashing lights on so outside things wouldn’t come into my circle,” she said.

‘I didn’t want anything external [to affect my swimming].’
The couple began dating several months ago after Simpson, a successful singer-songwriter, gave up his music career to focus on competitive swimming.
The couple wear the same outfits as the previous photos that they wore to be ‘Instagram official’.
“A short date in Barcelona with my love, Emma,” he captioned the images of the couple smiling and holding hands as they walked down the street.
Before their trip to Spain, Simpson and McKeon had not been seen together since they walked the red carpet at the Gold Coast premiere of Elvis on June 4.
Since becoming ‘Instagram official’ in July, the couple have frequently uploaded loving photos of them together on social media.
The pair are said to have first hit it off several months ago as sparring partners with weapons trainer Michael Bohl.
Simpson hopes to make her Olympic dream come true in Paris in 2024, while McKeon, who made history at Tokyo 2021 with a seven-medal haul, looks to back up her record-breaking performance.
The pair found themselves in the middle of an alleged ‘love triangle’ during the Australian Championships in Adelaide, with reports claiming that Kyle Chalmers deliberately removed Simpson from World Championship eligibility in the 100m butterfly by opting to take part in the event.
However, Chalmers, who dated McKeon for several months in 2021, later disputed this, saying she had always planned to compete in that event. Cody has previously dated a number of A-listers, including Miley Cyrus and Gigi Hadid.
