“I’ve had two terrible break-ups throughout the ten years, and it all comes down to not being around because I’m always on the road. Now I’m in a loving relationship and I remind myself that I do need to say no to things sometimes.”

Justine previously dated TV presenter and journalist Matt Doran from 2014 to 2017.

I originally read that as he was her former partner, but after a minute I realised it was saying he used to play AFL.
Anyway, congratulations to the both of them
