Kate Ritchie has a tough year – splitting with her boyfriend Chevy Black and dealing with the aftermath of a terrifying stalker ordeal.
But the former Home and Away star appeared happy as she stepped out to attend Nova FM‘s Singles Ball at Taronga Zoo on Thursday.
The radio host, 45, looked half her age as she led arrivals in an elegant yet glitzy black mini dress which feature a silver flower feature at the bust.
But it was the single she matched with on the night that really made Kate glow.
A handsome man by the name of Will asked Kate for a dance, which seemed to make her night.
Kate, who late last year parted with boyfriend Black, looked smitten as she joined him on the dancefloor.
The radio star, who co-hosts Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie, was earlier approached by Will as he held a single red rose.
The video of the romantic moment was shared to the Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie Instagram.
Dressed in a chic black suit with a bow tie, Will looked nervous as he went up to Kate while she was talking with friends at a table.
Giving her his rose, he introduced himself and the two left the table to get to know each other better.
Fans of the breakfast radio show went wild in the comments to the Instagram post.
‘Awww he’s a little bit cute. Good pick Kate. Australia’s very own Will & Kate,’ wrote one follower.
‘He’s actually pretty nervous. Good on you mate! Go get her,’ another remarked.
‘Omg they are the cutest!! Please date him Kate,’ wrote one more.
Earlier in the night, Kate arrived at the ball looking stunning in her sexy ensemble.
As she left her car she held a luxurious black coat with fur lapels.
She was also spotted warmly welcoming her co-anchor Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald with a hug as they entered Taronga’s Gilli Rooftop.
Kate’s potential budding romance comes after she called time on her relationship with boyfriend Black, nine months after they went Instagram official.
