Emma McKeon and Cody Simpson's relationship in pictures
They're among the most popular sporting power couples in Australia, but Emma McKeon and Cody Simpson still like to keep their romance very private.
While they try not to share too much about their love in public, the couple don't mind giving fans a little peek into their lives together on social media - especially around major sporting events like the Olympics.
Keep reading to relive McKeon and Simpson's relationship in pictures.
By the time they hit the pool deck for training in the UK in July 2022, ahead of the Commonwealth Games proper, the pair were an item.
Simpson later revealed that their romance began in April that year, but the notoriously private couple kept their relationship secret while training and competing.
Unfortunately, even that couldn't save them from scandal.
When rumours began swirling that Simpson and McKeon were more than teammates, there was wild speculation they were caught in a 'love triangle' with Aussie teammate Kyle Chalmers, who had reportedly dated McKeon briefly in 2021.
Chalmers and Simpson were also relay partners in the 2022 Commonwealth Games, but claims of a rift between the swimmers were blasted by Chalmers in a post-race press conference.
"It's all just false news that's actually crap," he said.
"It's a load of s--t that's not true. It's words getting put in mouths and you wanting to make a story out of nothing."
"In the warm-up and out on deck we've all been teammates, regardless of whatever may have been," Simpson said in Birmingham, but soon after he and McKeon went public with their romance.
In July 2022 he shared a series of loved-up snaps to Instagram with the caption "a brief rendezvous in Barcelona with my love".
While the singer called the trip brief, he posted couple shots from their travels in Europe for many months after making his romance with McKeon Instagram official.
First there were shots like this one that had girls across Australia swooning.
In the snap, Simpson couldn't resist pulling McKeon in for a sweet slow dance while they holidayed in Spain, flashing the swimmer's Olympic rings tattoo as he held her hand in his.
Then it was on to Italy, where the swimmers looked right at home in the stunning waters around Portofino.
Though their romance had started amid a touch of scandal, the couple looked carefree as they posted their holiday snaps and fans back home in Australia were hugely supportive of their romance.
Over on McKeon's Instagram page, she shared a few snaps of her own and gushed about the "magical time" she got to spend abroad with her new man.
Eventually they had to come home to Australia, but being back Down Under only seemed to solidify the romance between Simpson and McKeon.
In August, they made their award ceremony debut as an item, stepping out at the Swimmer of the Year awards in matching black outfits.
A month later, they escaped to Ulladulla NSW for a break from their intense swimming training, though the couple still found themselves by the water.
As well as relaxing on the beach, Simpson and McKeon enjoyed a wine tasting at Cupitt's Estate and snapped photos with the local wildlife - kangaroos.
They embraced their wild sides for Halloween that year, and it wasn't the only major holiday the pair spent together...
