Justine Schofield is spotted out on a stroll with her AFL player boyfriend Brent Staker 

She has kept her relationship with retired AFL player Brent Staker relatively quiet since they started dating in March last year.

But on Saturday, MasterChef Australia star Justine Schofield was pictured out and about in Brisbane with her hunky beau for the first time. 

The 35-year-old, who is known for being notoriously private when it comes to her love life, cut a casual figure as they enjoyed a stroll together. 

She flaunted her trim pins in a pair of tiny black exercise shorts which she paired with a white singlet and cap. 

The chef completed the look with black sneakers and shaded her eyes with a pair of sunglasses. 

She swept her blonde locks back into a ponytail and appeared to go makeup free for the outing. 

Meanwhile, Brent wore a pair of black shorts and a grey T-shirt with white sneakers and sunglasses.  

The couple appeared in good spirits as they chatted away and sipped on their takeaway coffees.  

Justine and Brent started dating early last year, and were first pictured together on his Instagram account on March 14.

Brent, who played footy professionally for 13 years until his retirement in 2015, has even introduced his girlfriend to his family.

In June, the former West Coast Eagles and Brisbane Lions star took Justine to visit his relatives in Broken Hill, NSW.

Justine briefly spoke about her relationship status in August during an interview with Gary Mehigan’s A Plate to Call Home podcast.

Offering a rare glimpse into her dating history, the blonde spoke of the breakups she went through while filming her Channel 10 cooking show, Everyday Gourmet.

‘I’ve had two terrible break-ups throughout the 10 years, and it all comes down to not being around because I’m always on the road,’ she said.

Justine revealed she had since found a better work-life balance.

‘Now I’m in a loving relationship and I remind myself that I do need to say no to things sometimes,’ she explained.

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

Matt, who hosts Weekend Sunrise, is now engaged to the executive producer of Nine’s Weekend Today, Kendall Bora.
