Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm has been seen leaving a pool just minutes before her ex-boyfriend Mitch Larkin amid reports he was having an affair with another athlete.
The 26-year-old Seebohm broke up with her fellow Olympian this month but they were forced back together on Thursday as they both trained at the Tobruk Memorial Swimming Pool in Cairns, Queensland.
They left the pool separately, following the very public break-up which played out on social media.

On Sunday, the Olympic medalist flaunted her athletic body in a racy Instagram picture, just over a week after dramatically announcing her break-up.
The 26-year-old took to social media to share the image of herself hanging upside down on a pole with the caption: ‘This is the only bender I go on these days.’
The glamorous athlete wore nothing but lacy black underwear, a pink crop top and a pair of towering heels as she held her body up with an impressive handstand.
Fans congratulated the swimmer for her passion for pole dancing, praising her for posting the snap after her break-up.

She took to social media to confirm the sudden end of the relationship and received support from Larkin’s ex-girlfriend Meagen Nay who also spoke out about the break-up.
‘There is hard evidence in here, trust me,’ Nay wrote on social media in relation to the rumours.
She also posted an identical photo that Seebohm had posted on Instagram – an image overlaid with text stating ‘What is coming is better than what is gone’.

As the Australian swim team headed to the Great Barrier reef on Saturday, Larkin was notably absent from the trip.
But an Australian swim team spokesman told the Courier Mail it was ‘business as usual’ for the team and Larkin was focused on ‘getting his performance right’ for next month’s Pan-Pacific Championships.
Coincidentally, it was during the Pan-Pacific Championships Trials in Adelaide three weeks ago when rumours of the alleged affair surfaced, according to sources close to the pair.
Seebohm was spotted getting a new look on Friday with foils in her hair during a trip to the hairdresser in Brisbane.
Larkin, Seebohm and a spokesman for the Australian Swim Team declined to comment on the rumours of an alleged affair.
Swimmer and friend Grant Irvine said the team wants to respect the privacy of Emily and Mitch.
‘It’s their business,’ he told the Courier Mail.
Seebohm won Olympic gold in relay events in 2008 and 2012 and also has five World Championships golds and seven in the Commonwealth Games.
Larkin won five gold medals at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast earlier this year.
‘As always I appreciate your support and ask for your understanding and privacy on this matter,’ she said
