She recently celebrated a bittersweet milestone after what would have been her 12th anniversary with ex-husband Stuart Webb.
But a happy-looking Kate Ritchie showed no sign of heartbreak on Monday as she took a walk with her mother Heather in Sydney.
The former Home and Away star, 43, opted for a relaxed ensemble consisting of a baggy wool sweater, white shirt and black jeans.

Kate’s day out comes after taking a rather unusual trip down memory lane on Sunday by thawing a piece of her wedding cake from more than a decade ago.
The day marked what would have been her 12th anniversary with her ex-husband Stuart, a retired NRL player who she divorced in 2020.
The Australia’s Got Talent jury posted a photo on Instagram of the first part of the cake, which had been frozen and wrapped in plastic since the ceremony.

She wrote in the caption, “Who still eats their wedding cake? Why? And for what benefit? This is mine thawing today.’
The top tier of a wedding cake is traditionally kept for the one year anniversary of the newlyweds and is believed to symbolize good luck and prosperity.
Many of Kate’s followers were stunned that she had kept her cake frozen for so long.
One fan said the cake was “part of your story,” while another cheekily commented that it “lasted longer than the wedding.”

Kate and Stuart started dating in 2008 and announced their engagement a year later.
The couple married in a nationwide ceremony in Tasmania in 2010.
They split in 2020 after 10 years of marriage and the former child actress is said to have left their marital home in Sydney.
