Home and Away star Kate Ritchie goes Instagram official with her new boyfriend Chevy Black

Kate Ritchie went Instagram official with her new man Chevy Black on Monday.

The Nova FM radio host, 44, put her handsome beau in her stories when she re-shared a video he took of her on the beach.

During a windy day out walking in Sydney, Chevy captured the Home and Away star hugging her dog Annie and posted it to his Instagram.

In the footage, Kate can be seen cradling the English Cocker Spaniel in her arms as she sits on the rocky cliff as the wind whips her dark locks around her face.

She seems content and happy as she says something to the dog and looks over her shoulder.

Kate and her boyfriend Chevy are going from strength to strength after revealing their relationship in February.

The star recently took her romance to the next level by introducing Chevy to her mom Heather and eight-year-old daughter Mae.

The couple was first photographed together during a romantic picnic in early February.

According to Woman’s Day, Kate and Chevy have become incredibly close in the short time they’ve been dating, and she’s even met his family.

“She has been introduced to the family, including Chevy’s mother and siblings,” a source told the publication.

According to the publication, Chevy is a “nice and sweet type of guy.”

The star’s new relationship comes after Kate’s split from ex-boyfriend John Bell and her shock rehab for alcohol dependence.

In October, Kate announced she was quitting the Kate, Tim and Joel show before it was revealed she was seeking treatment at an exclusive Sydney rehab facility.

In December, she said in a statement that the past year has been challenging and stressful and led to an “unhealthy dependence on alcohol.”

Kate kept quiet about her return date before it was revealed weeks later that she has left the show entirely and jumped onto Nova’s drive show Fitzy & Wippa.
