Alex McKinnon and girlfriend Lily Malone post loved-up selfie and it drives fans wild
Alex McKinnon’s romance with his new girlfriend Lily Malone is alive and well.
The 32-year-old former NRL player with quadriplegia and Lily were spotted together with their partner in a post on Instagram.
On Sunday, Lily, 22, posted a series of photos to her profile, including a sweet snap of Alex kissing her on the forehead as she laughed.
Lily wore her shiny dark hair loose and opted for a natural makeup look, aside from a pop of bright red lipstick.
Meanwhile, Alex appeared dressed in black as the pair attended a concert.
Followers responded enthusiastically to the post, praising the happy couple.
“Adorable, beautiful AND amazing,” one wrote, while another told Lily, “Obsessed with you and the life you create.”
The athlete spoke openly to the attractive young social worker, who is ten years his junior, in March.

The former Newcastle Knights player and fellow Newcastle University student both shared a photo of themselves wrapping their arms around each other on their Instagram pages at the time.
McKinnon posted the photo of the two of them dressed in pink at Malone’s 22nd birthday party, just hours before the NRL season opener kicked off in Las Vegas.
Moments later, Malone debuted McKinnon on her own Instagram page, sharing the same photo with a love heart emoji.
Lily is pursuing a Bachelor of Social Work degree at the University of Newcastle.
McKinnon studies psychology there and also works as an analyst for Fox Sports.

Malone, who works as a family liaison at Life Without Barriers, recently shared that she will soon become a licensed social worker.
“Working with a small, dedicated team, I developed an eight-session program specifically tailored to the unique needs of parents of first-time juvenile offenders in a domestic violence context,” she recently posted on her LinkedIn page.
McKinnon’s romance came after he split from ex-wife Teigan Power in January 2022, after five years of marriage, three children and his own horrific football accident that left him quadriplegic.
At the time of their split, both parties confirmed that the divorce was amicable and that they were still committed to co-parenting their children, twins Audrey and Violet and eldest daughter Harriet.
