Kate Ritchie has been spotted wearing a diamond band on her left ring finger amid her new romance.
The radio host, 46, is dating ‘high-flying’ financial advisor Will Skelton after meeting at Nova FM’s Singles Ball at Taronga Zoo in May.
Now, the former Home and Away wore a new ring as she stepped out to work on her TV return for the ABC in Sydney on Wednesday.
Wearing a black puffer jacket, Kate flashed a thick gold ring on her left finger while juggling a cup of coffee and a piece of paper.
She appeared to be in good spirits while chatting on the phone outside a house where she was working on her latest project, a new factual series titled The Role of a Lifetime.
Kate accessorised with gold drop earrings and her hair was neatly styled in a bun.
The actress-turned-radio host was later seen in smart casual attire – wearing a navy blazer and blue denim jeans paired with a dark brown top.
She paired that look with sneakers before braving the wet weather and sneaking away into a parked vehicle nearby.

Kate appears to be head over heels in love again after a tough year in which she split with her boyfriend Chevy Black.
The actress and her new man Will, 30, looked absolutely smitten last month as they enjoyed an oceanfront picnic at Clovelly in Sydney.
Will is a very successful financial adviser for Canaccord Genuity, a financial services firm based in Sydney.
‘They have spent pretty much every night together lately,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia last month.

‘He has told many of his colleagues about it. He just turned 30 in the last week.’
The couple could not keep their hands off each other during their beachside date, kissing and cuddling as they sat on a picnic blanket.
The actress looked absolutely delighted to be in Will’s company, laughing heartily as the pair chatted and shared jokes.
Kate’s budding romance comes after she called time on her relationship with boyfriend Chevy just months after they went Instagram official in May, 2023.
The pair, who would often put on on public displays of affection while out and about in Coogee, are said to have split around November.

An insider also told New Idea magazine at the time there was a very telling clue their relationship was over.
‘It seems like now he doesn’t have any reason to keep his life hidden,’ the source told the magazine.
‘Until recently, Chevy preferred to keep his life under wraps, with his social media set to private. He has now changed to a public Instagram profile.’
At the time, Kate fuelled breakup rumours by sharing a reflective post to Instagram which captured her living her best life with a girlfriend, and no mention of Chevy.
The pair looked to be going from strength-to-strength after debuting their relationship in February 2023 with pictures of a romantic picnic.
Kate later took her romance to the next level by introducing Chevy to her mother Heather and daughter Mae.
However, by the end of that year, Kate was single again.
The former soap star split with her ex-husband, retired NRL player Stuart Webb, in 2020.

Kate tied the knot with Stuart in an opulent ceremony held at the Quamby Estate in Tasmania in 2010, following a year-long engagement.
The former couple began dating in 2008 and announced their engagement a year later.
They split in 2020 after 10 years of marriage, and the former child actress reportedly moved out of their marital home in Sydney.
They welcomed a daughter, Mae, in 2014, but parted ways after nine years.
The following year, in 2021, Kate debuted her much younger boyfriend John Bell, who was 25 at the time.
The pair were seen packing on the PDA they holidayed in Byron Bay in January that year.
Kate also dated former NRL star Chris Walker for five years during his heyday, with the pair separating in 2006. Pictured together in 2006
The radio presenter and the cyber security clerk, went their separate ways after their romance fizzled out just months later.
‘Kate is single. Lockdown is to blame,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia in December that year.
‘Kate and John haven’t seen each other since January, even though borders to Victoria opened a few weeks ago. She hasn’t mentioned wanting to visit him once.’
Before she began dating Stuart, Kate was seeing professional skateboarder Corbin Harris, who is known to be friends with Tony Hawk.
The pair ended their relationship in mid-2008, just months before she began dating Stuart.
