The radio star appeared to wear minimal makeup and wore her brunette tresses pulled back in a ponytail.

Kate kept a stack of magazines ready for her flight and had a lightweight tote bag slung over her shoulder.

Chevy, meanwhile, was dressed comfortably in a white polo shirt and navy blue shorts, along with a dark beanie.

The star recently took their romance to the next level by introducing Chevy to her mother, Heather, and their eight-year-old daughter, Mae.

Accordingly women’s DayKate and Chevy have become incredibly close in the short time they’ve been together, and she’s even met his family.

“She was introduced to the family, including Chevy’s mother and siblings,” a source told the publication.

According to the publication, Chevy is a “friendly and lovable guy.”

The star’s new relationship comes after Kate split from ex-boyfriend John Bell and she went through shock rehab for alcohol addiction.

In October, Kate announced she was withdrawing from the Kate, Tim and Joel show in October, before announcing that she would be undergoing treatment at an exclusive Sydney rehab clinic.

In December, she said in a statement that the past year has been challenging and stressful, leading to an “unhealthy addiction to alcohol”.

Kate has since remained silent about her return date, although she teased in January that she would be back on the air with her co-hosts Joel Creasey and Tim Blackwell in a matter of weeks.

However, in February it was reported that she may never jump back to Nova’s drive show Fitzy and Wippa, replacing her co-host Sarah McGilvray in the coveted role.

Current and former staff at the radio station told Daily Mail Australia they were caught off guard by the news that McGilvray had been pushed aside to make way for new co-host Kate Ritchie, whom some only found out about through the press.
