Australian Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm spotted with foils in hair after split with Mitch Larkin

Australian swimmer Emily Seebohm has been spotted getting a new look after her rumoured split with fellow Olympian Mitch Larkin.

The 26-year-old cracked a joke with her father John to snap out of a sombre morning mood while out and about in Brisbane on Friday. 

Seebohm, who took to social media last week to confirm the sudden end of the relationship, was later seen with foils in her hair while changing her look at a salon.

The trip to the hairdresser came as Larkin’s ex-girlfriend Meagen Nay spoke out about the break-up.

The pair walked down the street together before Seebohm made her way to a local hairdresser to have her blond hair dyed.

She took a break from the styling session to pop outside, still in her black hairdresser gown.

Swimming’s gold couple are rumoured to have broken up because Larkin, 25, allegedly had an affair with an athlete who is not part of the Australian Swim Team, The Daily Telegraph reported. 

Sources close to the former couple told the paper whispers of the alleged affair surfaced during the Pan-­Pacific Championships Trials in Adelaide three weeks ago.

Seebohm is reported to have discovered fresh details of the alleged affair last Thursday and immediately called off the relationship.  

The pair were taking part in Treasury Brisbane’s ICON fashion show that night, with an insider claiming they saw Seebohm ‘leave the hotel and it looked to me like she was crying’.
