She’s the natural beauty and self-proclaimed tomboy who was crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2014. And model and speaker Tegan Martin has a big 2020 planned. Behind the scenes, she is juggling multiple projects and ventures, following her split with boyfriend Blake Worrall Thompson in early 2019. Speaking to WHO, the I’m a Celebrity … alumna says she’s finally in a good place. “I moved back to Newcastle post-break-up early last year thinking I’d go back to Sydney, then as a last-minute decision, I moved back to Melbourne on my own in September,” Martin, 27, says. “2019 was really about coming into my own and realising there actually is longevity in the career I’m in. I’m feeling challenged and inspired again.”

Now residing in inner city Melbourne, the model says fate has followed her, revealing this is where she began dating her current boyfriend of six months, finance worker Luke Andrews. Until now, she’d kept her new relationship private. “He’s really, really beautiful – I’m very happy,” Martin gushes. “I met him overseas a few years ago and then we reconnected last year. It’s grounding for me, having someone I come home to that has no idea what goes on in my world.”
