FIFI & GRANT - BACK TOGETHER IN MELBOURNE

A FAMILY REUNION IS BACK ON THE CARDS!

It’s been nothing short of an emotional few months for former Ironman Grant Kenny, who has had to combine mourning and celebration all within weeks of each other.

In September, the father-offour tragically lost his eldest child, Jaimi Lee, who he shares with ex-wife Lisa Curry. Their other daughter Morgan, 30, was heavily pregnant at the time, and welcomed her second son just a few weeks later.

Speaking to New Idea, a close friend of Grant reveals the mixed emotions over the New Year have softened the athlete. He’s been quietly reflecting and enjoying the company of his family, including son Jett, 27, and grandsons Flynn, 2, and Taj, 3 months. However, at the same time, the source insists Grant dearly misses his youngest child, daughter Trixie Belle, 7, who he shares with radio presenter Fifi Box, 43.

“Grant is torn … he’s a real old-fashioned family man, so he’s feeling like he’s letting Fifi and Trixie down by not being there more regularly,” says the source.

Grant, 57, is based in Queensland, while Trixie and her mum live in Melbourne.
