Wally Lewis is still going strong with his glamorous new girlfriend Lynda Adams, two years after he confirmed his divorce from 36-year-old wife Jacqueline.
The rugby league legend, 63, was spotted on a romantic night out in Brisbane on Saturday cuddling with Ms Adams, a miscarriage support group volunteer.
The couple, whose romance was revealed shortly after Lewis announced his divorce, looked absolutely smitten as the footy star put an arm around someone’s mother’s shoulder.
Lewis took the time to show Mrs. Adams something on his phone while they were waiting in line at a restaurant.
The high-profile sports presenter was hard to miss in his Nine Network polo shirt, while Ms. Adams was dressed to impress in a linen shirt and khaki trousers.

Lewis, who was known as ‘The King’ during his footballing days, rocked the sporting world in February 2021 when he confirmed that he had separated from his wife and the mother of his three children.
“This is a very personal matter that we don’t want to discuss publicly,” he said.
“I want to acknowledge the pain and distress my family has been through since Jacqui and I separated last year. I hope in time we can mend our bonds and move on with life.”

It later emerged that he was in a new relationship with Mrs. Adams, a volunteer at Sands Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Newborn Death Support Group in Townsville.
Ms. Adams had recently divorced her husband, property developer Mark Adams, when she met Lewis.
Reports at the time claimed that Lewis’s new relationship had immortalized the three children of rugby league against him.

Sources told The Daily Telegraph Lewis’ grown children, Mitchell, Jamie-Lee and Lincoln, felt obligated to side with their distraught mother and stopped speaking to their father.
“Lincoln and his mom have always been very close… he’s really his mama’s boy,” a friend told the paper.
A former Home and Away star and Logie winner, Lincoln reportedly owed his mother for supporting his acting career.
“She was the one who really encouraged him to get into acting and always took a much bigger (educating) role in his life,” the friend said.
“He has always been open about that with people close to him. He has been known to say he was raised by his mother,” they added.
