Speaking to 9 Entertainment, Jake revealed that he and his new leading lady met online and "clicked instantly".

"It was amazing. I flew up to where she lives and we spent a week together and haven't been away from each other ever since. This was love at first sight and it's been a great experience," the mental health charity CEO confessed.

Things are getting serious between the couple too - Jake has also met Sophie's sons Kai and Ryder and her twin girls Evie and Aria.

"She knows this a little bit but she came into my life at the perfect time. She saved me in a lot of ways. She's a remarkable mum, she's an incredible woman, and she's perfect."

Jake also spilled to Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam and Browny that he and his TV ex haven't been in contact since the reunion despite the fact that she reached out to him.

“To this day I haven’t spoken to Beck, I didn’t feel there was any need for me to talk to her or communicate with her,” he confessed.

“She’s reached out a couple of times, once the show aired and a couple of days after the reunion but there is no need for me to communicate with her. I hope she finds all she’s after. I wish her all the best.”

The former AFL player also revealed that for the last six weeks he has been "waking up with fear and anxiety" about what’s been said and written about him but Sophie has been the ultimate support.

“Fortunately I’ve got a partner, I’ve met someone. So if she didn’t come into my life when she did, I honestly don’t think I’d know where I would be. She’s just been extremely supportive and someone that I’m very grateful for, I think it starts there and as of today we can be normal, be public and get on that journey together.”

Sophie has also spilled some insights to her personal Instagram account about Jake.

The mum-of-four asked her fans "*If* I was to do a podcast with my man tomorrow...what questions do u have?" in an Instagram Q&A and one posed the question "Is Jake ok??"

"Not sure how anyone would be after the last six months to be honest," she replied.

"I think a lot of people forget there are real people behind the cameras. This is one of the hardest things I have had to witness someone go through. Waking up each day to a new article - in most cases false - but in all cases not being able to respond of defend their name, owning their mistakes - yet still being torn down for having a past. Living in fear for the next take down. Too scared to go out and be normal - all for what?"

Sophie added: "Remember before you throw stones, that your house isn't made of glass."

Rumours of Jake and Sophie's relationship were first spilled by the So Dramatic! podcast after the two were snapped on a date together.

"Sophie seems to have confirmed their romance, sharing an image on Instagram holding Jake’s very identifiable tattooed arm and also revealing to her fans that she is 'taken!'," the podcast wrote alongside the images.

Group photos featuring the pair also surfaced on social media and Sophie hinted at her relationship with Jake in an earlier Instagram Q&A.

When asked what her favourite birthday present was, Sophie responded with: “I can’t say yet but I will in a couple of days”.
