Accordig to the Australian Women’s Weekly, the pair, who started dating in 2010 actually met in high school in Sydney’s western suburbs.

“We were in the same year, although I don’t know if Michael was at school much because he was always playing cricket, and I was always doing Home and Away extra work or something,” Kyly told The Telegraph last year.
