Mark Latham has gushed over his new girlfriend in a series of social media posts months after Daily Mail Australia revealed they were in a relationship.
The former NSW One Nation leader shared several photos to his personal Instagram account over the weekend of him alongside his girlfriend Nathalie Matthews.
The pair were dressed to the nines at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse with their public outing coming months after it was first revealed they were in a relationship.
Daily Mail Australia broke the news in July when Mr Latham and the glamorous businesswoman were pictured in the stands of the Wimbledon tennis court in London.

The latest Instagram photos showed Mr Latham wearing a dark suit and purple tie, while Ms Matthews donned a figure-hugging pale blue dress and delicate headpiece.
The pair were standing on either side of the Everest trophy.
‘So much looking forward to The Everest this Saturday at Royal Randwick,’ the post read.
‘A beautiful trophy designed by the great Nic Cerrone, made even more spectacular by being photographed with @nathaliemaymatthews’.
In a second post, the controversial senator boasted a photo of the loved-up couple at the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, in Sydney’s west.
‘Great day of racing at Rosehill with the Town Crier and the very beautiful Nathalie Matthews,’ the caption on the post read, followed by an emoji with heart eyes.
In August, Mr Latham was dumped as the One Nation leader in NSW after the party’s federal leader, Pauline Hanson, staged an intervention in the state branch.
On August 22, Mr Latham resigned from One Nation to sit as an independent.
Daily Mail Australia revealed in July the former NSW One Nation leader and Ms Matthews had made no secret of their new relationship while travelling in London.
At the time, Mr Latham unintentionally shared a telling clue of the blossoming romance on his personal Instagram account.
He posed for a picture in a flat cap, white checked shirt and blue denim jeans at centre court at Wimbledon. Ms Matthews simultaneously uploaded a picture of her own.
Both photographs were taken from the fifth row of the bottom left corner of the court, and the same spectators were sitting in the rows in front in the images.
In her picture – tagged to Court No.1 – she wore aviator sunglasses and an Oh Polly linen blazer.

A source told Daily Mail Australia: ‘When she posted at Wimbledon I [thought] Latham would be the photographer.
‘He is galivanting around England with her at the Lords (where the Ashes is held) and Wimbledon.’
The Wimbledon photo was the only picture Mr Latham has shared from his Europe trip on his social media pages at the time.
However he was caught off guard in the series of pictures by cricket fans from the Ashes on June 29.
He was standing next to a seafood and sausages van, wearing a green, floppy cricket hat and a rain jacket over his shorts in London, where it was summer at the time.
Mr Latham’s office confirmed he had organised a study tour to Europe before the parliamentary schedule for 2023 was known.
‘I confirm that last year, well before the new parliamentary schedule was known, Mr. Latham organised a research trip of European school education, which he is now completing,’ his adviser told Daily Mail Australia.
His new flame also shared a photograph from the Ashes on July 10, captioning the picture: ‘watching the Aussie women at the home of cricket.’
