Cathy Freeman Spotted Holding Hands with Mystery Man at Nike Event Just Months After Split

BBG News

It seems that Cathy Freeman has definitively moved past her 15-year marriage with James Murch since their separation about seven months ago, as she was recently seen walking hand-in-hand with an unidentified individual during the weekend.

52-year-old Olympic athlete was spotted having an enjoyable romantic evening with her latest partner, during their outing at the Nike After Dark event in Sydney.

At the sporting event, the couple was spotted holding hands, accompanied by what seemed to be a companion.

Cathy beamed with joy while talking to her new companion, occasionally pushing her dark hair away from her face, and she chose a blue tracksuit instead of a white T-shirt.

(The focus is on Cathy’s happiness in conversation, the action of pulling back her hair, and her choice of clothing.)

The man she was with maintained a relaxed appearance in a t-shirt and shorts, wearing a sling pack on his waist, while Cathy engaged in a chat with their mutual friend.

At the global event featuring women’s night marathons in six key cities, Cathy, an esteemed guest, shared the stage with fellow Olympic athlete Ariarne Titmus, who is also a sprinter.

Back in September, the formerly active sports figure was spotted for the first time with a new companion. They were enjoying time together in Cairns, which happened just under a month after it was made public that she and her former partner James (age 49) had parted ways.

During what seemed like a romantic vacation, the Australian who won an Olympic gold medal was spotted going for a tender walk along the seashore with a man.

Two days following his break-up with Cathy in August, James was spotted exiting a café in Brighton, Melbourne, for the initial time.

He kept a low profile as he stepped out in a pale turquoise hoodie and black track pants.

On August 16, Cathy and her former spouse announced in a joint statement that they had decided to go separate ways. They will both remain actively involved in raising their 13-year-old daughter, Ruby.

Following 15 years together as a married couple, we regretfully went our separate ways. However, our top priority remains being good parents to our children,” was the message, as reported by The Herald Sun.

‘We continue sharing a professional and working partnership through Estrella Sports Management.

In this situation, we kindly ask for your understanding as we value our private life. Therefore, we will not provide any additional information or statements about it.

The notoriously private sports star has often made headlines for her love life.

She had been involved with her former athletics coach Nic Bideau for a prolonged period. After their relationship terminated, he continued to guide her, leading her to win gold at the 2000 Olympics.

Cathy was married to her first husband, Alexander ‘Sandy’ Bodecker, from 1999 to 2003.

After dating the Australian actor Joel Edgerton, who she eventually parted ways with in 2005, she later tied the knot with her second spouse, James, in 2009.

They welcomed a daughter, Ruby, in 2011.

In her autobiography, Cathy disclosed a shocking revelation – she was involved romantically with Joel, who was 50 at the time, while she was married to Alexander.

The 400m former runner recalled the moment she told her now-ex Alexander she was ‘seeing someone’.

In her writing, she expressed that igniting the cauldron during the Sydney Games seemed effortless, yet the nervousness coursing through her body was intense as she listened to Alexander speak.

‘I’m seeing someone,’ Cathy wrote of her conversation with Alexander.

‘It’s Joel Edgerton.’

At age 16, Cathy achieved recognition as the inaugural Australian Indigenous individual to secure a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.

Subsequently, she claimed additional two gold medals at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and a silver medal during the 1996 Olympic Games.

She came first at the World Championships in 1997 in the 400m event and again in 1999.

2000 marked the year an indigenous Australian athlete stole everyone’s heart by igniting the famous Olympic torch during the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics.

She went on to win the women’s 400-metre race in a time of 49.11 seconds during the Games.

Cathy eventually called time on her sporting career in 2003.
