Cody Simpson and Emma McKeon are considered Australia’s golden couple (after Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, of course).
Cody, the popstar turned professional swimmer, first met Emma, the most decorated Australian in Olympic history, in early 2022 when Cody joined the Australian Swim Team after qualifying for the Commonwealth Games.
The couple then began dating in April 2022, however they didn’t make their relationship public until July 5 of that year, when Cody posted a few images of a trip he and Emma took along with the caption:
“A brief rendezvous in Barcelona with my love. @emmamckeon.”

A few weeks later, Emma posted an image on Instagram of her and Cody holding hands.
Then in July 2022, both Cody and Emma did a joint interview for Channel 7’s Spotlight, where they discussed their respective swimming careers.
After that, the couple kept their relationship extremely private; although in December 2023, Cody did tell the Herald Sun:
“Emma is a huge part of my life, and has been such a positive influence on me in terms of keeping me grounded since we met. She is a really calming presence, she has really helped me, and she just impresses me so much, she is such a wonderful person.”
As of August 2024, Cody and Emma are still going strong; here are their sweetest moments together…

If we thought this couple couldn’t get any sweeter, we were wrong.
On August 20, 2024, Cody and Emma shared a collaborated post to their social media all dolled up for the 17th annual Myer Precious Metal Gala in support of The Alannah & Madeline Foundation.
The pair were cosied up next to eachother in the photos looking very much in love, and captioning the post:
“If this is just the beginning, my life is gonna be beeauutiful!”

On August 14, 2024, Cody penned a hearfelt tribute to Emma on Instagram in honour of her returning from the Paris Olympics as the most decorated Australian in Olympic history.
“Golden girl. Emma, to have had a seat to watch you compete and complete your Olympic career with such grace and power was a privilege,” Cody wrote.
“You inspire me immensely and it’s an honour to be your man! I’m punching and I know it so I’m glad you haven’t figured that out yet!”
