Danika Mason has stepped out with her NRL star boyfriend Liam Knight, just hours after the couple went official on Instagram.
The 33-year-old Channel Nine reporter and the 29-year-old Canterbury Bulldogs forward were pictured as they headed out for brunch in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on Saturday morning.
The newlyweds were all dressed up as they headed to a cafe in Coogee in Sydney’s cold winter weather.
Mason grinned broadly as she walked alongside the Alice Springs-born athlete, both members of the couple wearing thick winter coats.
The sports journalist wore black PE Nation sportswear and dark Nike sneakers during the walk.
Liam, meanwhile, wore a lilac hoodie with black sweatpants and Crocs with socks on his feet.
The former Rabbitoh held his phone and bottle, as well as the leash of Danika’s chocolate Labrador Charlie, as they walked together.
Once at the cafe, Mason further insulated herself from the cold by covering her legs with a blanket.

Danika made her new romance official just months after she left her fiancé, just weeks before they were set to get married.

“My life is beautiful,” he wrote in the caption, alongside the smitten photo of the couple hugging.
Danika dumped her ex Todd Liubinskas in September, just three weeks before their wedding.
The 40-year-old personal trainer has since been linked to 34-year-old sex book author Helen Chik.

Danika officially debuted her new romance just months after leaving her fiancé, weeks before they were set to get married
Todd and Danika were due to tie the knot on October 27 at Greystone Estate in the New South Wales Hunter Valley, but Danika cancelled the wedding three weeks earlier.
The exact reason for the couple’s split is unclear and has been the subject of much speculation among football and media insiders.
Less than two weeks before the wedding was called off, the couple were seen arm in arm at the BYD electric car launch and showroom in Alexandria, Sydney.
After their breakup, another ex-girlfriend of Todd’s, whom he dated for seven years before he started dating Danika, sent her a message of support.
“I can only hope Danika isn’t surprised like I was or has experienced something similar. My condolences go out to her if she is,” the ex told Ny Breaking Australia.

The publication previously reported that Todd had asked Danika to return her diamond engagement ring through a third party because it was an heirloom.
Danika, who alongside her role as presenter of Wide World of Sports also reports for Nine’s NRL coverage, was first spotted snuggling up to Liam earlier this year.
The TV star was spotted dating the 29-year-old Bulldogs presenter at The Butler restaurant in Sydney’s exclusive Potts Point in February.

An onlooker told Ny Breaking Australia at the time that Danika seemed completely smitten with the footballer and was practically sitting on his lap as she looked wistfully into his eyes.
They started the evening sitting opposite each other, until Liam moved to Danika’s side of the table and they huddled together so everyone could see them.
“Her attitude was that of a relaxed woman enjoying a fling with a younger specimen in preparation for the season; her demeanor was that of a deer in the headlights,” the witness said.
