Kyly Clarke, James Courtney: Friends say she has ‘never looked this happy before’

‘She’s never looked this happy before’: Kyly Clarke’s friends say the ex-WAG has a new lease on life after meeting Supercars driver James Courtney

She debuted her romance with James Courtney at the Bathurst 1000 last weekend.

And now Kyly Clarke’s nearest and dearest are saying they’ve ‘never seen her so happy’ as she continues her romance with the 40-year-old Supercars driver.

‘I’ve never seen Kyly so happy,’ a friend told Woman’s Day on Monday. ‘It’s only early days, but if she gets her way, the sound of wedding bells could be soon ringing – maybe next year at the famous Mount Panorama circuit!’

James is Kyly’s first boyfriend following her split from husband Michael Clarke, the former captain of the Australian cricket team, in September last year. 

According to the source, the former WAG has known James since she was 11 years old, when he used to race karts with her brother, Troy Boldy. 

And it seems it’s not the first time the pair have dated, with reports claiming Kyly and James were romantically involved as teenagers, before going their separate ways.

'I've never seen Kyly so happy,' a friend told Woman's Day on Monday. 'It's only early days, but if she gets her way, the sound of wedding bells could be soon ringing,' they added

‘James adores Kyly and knows she is responsible for mending his broken heart [following his split from wife Carys in 2018]. He finally got the girl he fancied all those years ago,’ the insider added.

Rumours surfaced earlier this month that Kyly was in a new relationship with James, but neither commented on the reports at the time.

However, their loved-up appearance at the Bathurst 1000 race all but confirmed their romance.

‘It is early days but they are very happy,’ a source previously told The Daily Telegraph.

‘Kyly loves motorsports; it is something she has been passionate about since childhood,’ they added.

‘They just clicked when they reconnected and everything is going well. It is like a fairytale because they were together all those years ago so it has come full circle.’ 

Kyly’s ex Michael, 39, is now in a relationship with activewear designer Pip Edwards.
