Kate Ritchie looked to be in good spirits on Thursday when she was spotted shopping for soccer accessories in the Sydney suburb of Alexandria.
The former Home and Away star, 45, rugged up in a khaki jacket that featured denim panelling.
The Nova radio presenter completed her getup with black jeans and white sneakers and highlighted her natural beauty with a light layer of nude makeup.
Kate wore her brunette hair tied in a ponytail on the day, and could not not contain her excitement as she flashed a radiant smile ahead of competing in a local soccer match.
The Goulburn-born beauty had her hands full with newly purchased soccer accessories, including Nike soccer boots and shin pads.
At one point, Kate was seen laughing it up as she chatted to a female friend shortly before she made her way to a local park to enjoy a sporty workout.
Ritchie continued to charm in the middle of her soccer prep, with her vibrant spirit and effortless style.
Kate’s outing follows reports she returned to her acting roots this week as she was spotted filming scenes for a brand new ABC series.
