Alex McKinnon proves his romance with new flame Lily Malone has gone to the next level in heartwarming photo

Alex McKinnon’s romance with girlfriend Lily Malone has taken a dramatic next step.

The quadriplegic former NRL player, 32, took to Instagram on Monday to show Lily spending time with two of his three kids.

Alex, who shares daughters Harriet, Audrey, and Violet with ex-wife Teigan Power, shared a picture of Lily with the girls on a boat.

Lily and the two daughters looked radiant and happy, much to the delight of Alex’s fans and followers.

In the photo, Lily’s long dark hair cascaded over her shoulders and her natural makeup highlighted her fresh and glowing complexion.

The athlete went public with the glamorous young social worker, who is ten years his junior, in March.

The former Newcastle Knights player and fellow University of Newcastle student both shared an image with their arms around one another to their Instagram pages at the time.

Alex posted the picture of them both dressed in pink at Lily’s 22nd birthday party, just hours before the NRL season opener kicked off in Las Vegas.

Lily, who works as a family contact worker at Life Without Barriers, recently shared that she is soon to be a qualified social worker.

‘In collaboration with a small, dedicated team, I’ve developed an eight-session program tailored to the unique needs of ‘Parents of First Time Youth Offenders Within a Domestic Violence Context,’ she recently posted to her LinkedIn page.

McKinnon’s romance comes after he split from his ex-wife Teigan Power in January 2022 after five years of marriage, three children and his own horrific on-field footy accident that left him a quadriplegic. 

As they parted ways, both parties confirmed the split was amicable and that they remained committed to co-parenting their children, twins Audrey and Violet, and eldest daughter Harriet.
