The Veronicas star Jessica Origliasso and her fiancée Alex Smith look loved up as they pack on the PDA in Sydney
Jessica Origliasso and Alex Smith were not afraid to flaunt their love in Sydney on Saturday.
The Veronicas star and her fiancée were spotted packing on the PDA after enjoying a romantic lunch at Sydney celebrity hotspot Mimi's in Coogee.
Stepping out on an inclement Sydney day, Jessica rugged up with a navy blue bomber jacket which featured a light grey lapel.
She wore this over a similarly coloured top barely visible under the loose-fitting jacket.
The singer also wore a pair of flowing, navy blue pants which finished just above a pair of black leather flats.
She tied her short, raven locks back in a small ponytail, while leaving her bangs loose to frame her face.
The Untouched hitmaker accessorised with a punk looking $5,000 black Balenciaga shoulder bag.
The luxe lambskin accessory was adorned with an array of chunky piercings and a leather heart embellishment.
Meanwhile, Alex came similarly rugged up in a $1,000 Sandro leather and wool Varsity jacket.
The garment featured a large, bright yellow S as well as the words 'baby love' written in cursive off the left collar.
Wearing a navy blue T-shirt, Alex kept the colour theme going with a pair of what appeared to be a matching set of pants to Jessica's.
Alex finished her date look with a pair of white Nike sneakers and a pair of tinted sunglasses with translucent frames.
The pair looked besotted as they embarked on a stroll after their romantic lunch date.
They could be seen holding hands and beaming broadly as they walked amid an overcast day.

Not ones to hide their love, Jessica and Alex stopped, at one point for a sweet smooch on the street.
The couple were seen smiling as they looked into each other's eyes, lost in the tender moment.
Jessica announced her engagement to fiancée Alex back in 2022 as she and her jewellery designer partner showed off their huge diamond rings.
She posted photos of the pair all loved up to Instagram with the caption: 'WIFED. (Still crying a week later.) I've waited my whole life for you.
'I can't wait to marry you. Thank you to everyone for the love and comments the past week. I'm sorry if we haven't got back yet, I promise we will xx,' she continued.
Jessica 'closed down' the Catacombs of Paris and proposed to Alex as they toured the tunnels lined with human skulls.
She read out a speech to her Los Angeles-based love, who shed a few tears, before getting down on one knee.
Jessica's sister Lisa commented on both posts.

'Mummy says well done my Jessie,' she wrote on the engagement video before later adding: 'PSA: Yes, everyone. I approve!'
Jessica's romance with Alex came after she announced she had split from her American musician fiancé, Kai Carlton, in October 2020.
She told fans she 'was not afforded any real explanation' for their separation, and wished to put the relationship 'behind her'.
'To all the souls messaging me about Kai - we are no longer together,' Jess told fans at the time.
'I was not afforded any real explanation to address this with clarity here,' Jessica added, hinting she was dumped by her former lover.
Jess and Ruby briefly dated in 2008 before rekindling their romance on set of The Veronicas' music video for On Your Side in 2016. They split once again in April 2018.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori strikes out on her own with mysterious new venture
Bianca Censori is reportedly stepping out from her famous husband's shadow for a mysterious solo-branded venture. The 30-year-old wife of Kanye West has launched her own company in the US, Bianca Censori Inc., according to the US Sun. She reportedly registered her eponymous company in California in May. Censori has also reportedly registered a firm in Australia — simply named Bianca Censori — which operates out of the Melbourne suburb of Alphington, where her parents happen to reside. has reached out to a representative for Censori and West for comment. The new companies appear to be the first signs of Censori — who left fans calling for her arrest after posting seemingly nude photos on Instagram — taking the lead on a project since beginning a relationship with the 47-year-old disgraced rapper. The Australian beauty previously worked as an architect for his Yeezy brand beginning in 2020, and they married two years later. Despite launching the companies under her own name, with one in her home country, Bianca isn't completely leaving her husband behind. Although she is listed as the CEO and secretary for Bianca Censori Inc., Kanye is reportedly listed on the registration as a director of the company. He's also connected via his attorney, Manoj Shah, who is providing legal services for Bianca's company. So far, there are few details about exactly what Bianca plans to do with the companies. However, the identify of a top executive may hold a clue to what exactly the provocateur plans to make with her new company. The paperwork reportedly indicates that Hussein Lalani is working as the chief financial officer, and Lalani is known for promoting cosmetics. He is the founder of the skincare company Zensa, which offers microblading products, home tattoo kits and accompanying numbing creams. Lalani reportedly advertised that West planned to release the cryptocurrency 'meme coin' $YZY, which was initially described as a way to pay on the rapper's Yeezy website. Despite Lalani's press release, which indicated the crytopcurrency would begin selling on February 27, the release was inexplicably delayed inevitably. Lalani allegedly came into West and Censori's orbit after he met the couple at the West Hollywood condo they lived in last year. He's also reportedly listed on the corporate statement of information at the same address as the condo building. Censori and West have recently stirred up more controversy over the shockingly skimpy outfits. The two have been spending time around Barcelona, Spain, where they reportedly reunited after initially appearing to split in the wake of West deranged, antisemitic and pro-Nazi posts on the Elon Musk–owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Fans were shocked to see Bianca post a photo of herself with her breasts seemingly exposed under a fishnet top, while her nether regions were apparently uncovered under her sheer black pantyhose. Some social media users even suggested she should have been arrested over public decency laws, though there are some parts of Spain where it is at least legal to go topless. Despite the uproar, Censori appeared to double down when she posted a second photo of the same outfit that was even clearer than the original, somewhat blurry post.

Jeremy Clarkson meets Australia captain Pat Cummins: ‘I've never been a fan of cricket'
Jeremy Clarkson hosted Australia captain Pat Cummins at his Diddly Squat Farm but admitted that he is no fan of cricket. Cummins is gearing up for Australia's World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord's next week and took the opportunity to visit Clarkson's famous farm in Chipping Norton. The pair also played a game of farmyard cricket, testing a bat that had been made from willow grown on Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm. Cummins, who will lead Australia against England in the Ashes series later this year, bowled at Clarkson's Farm stars Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland in the light-hearted game. Clarkson watched as a spectator-cum-fielder. 'I've watched every episode of Clarkson's Farm and visiting the team from Diddly Squat Farm ahead of training for the World Test Championship final was a real treat,' said Cummins, who owns a farm in New South Wales. 'The life of a farmer is just as chaotic as you see on the show, and I was very impressed with Charlie's idea to grow English cricket bat willow. Thanks to Jeremy and the team for hosting me.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pat Cummins (@patcummins30) Clarkson said that he relished hosting Cummins, despite his lack of interest in cricket. 'I've never been a fan of cricket,' Clarkson said. 'I always had too much hay fever to know what was going on. But at least now I've found a way to make some money out of it. 'We enjoyed showing Pat around Diddly Squat Farm, after we had Oscar Piastri visit us previously as well. The only non-Australian sportsman who's visited was David Beckham.' The event was arranged by Amazon Prime, who are showing the World Test Championship live in Australia and also broadcast Clarkson's Farm. Australia are the reigning World Test champions, after defeating India in the 2023 final. Their match against South Africa at Lord's begins on Wednesday. Cummins, who has taken 294 Test wickets at an average of 22.4 as well as contributing crucial lower-order runs, is regarded as one of Australia's finest-ever cricketers.

David Attenborough tells Prince William he nearly drowned while scuba-diving in 1950s
Sir David Attenborough almost drowned when testing a scuba-diving helmet for his 1957 dive on the Great Barrier Reef, the broadcasting veteran has revealed in a discussion with Prince William. Discussing his latest documentary, Ocean, the pioneering film-maker described the incident to the Prince of Wales. 'It's certainly a strange thing to do,' said the 99-year-old Attenborough, as he nostalgically fitted an original version of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's open-circuit scuba helmet over his head. 'Don't do that, David,' laughed the prince. 'You won't get it off.' Successfully wriggling out of the helmet, Attenborough reminisced. 'When I put mine on for the first time, I suddenly felt water coming around [my chin and up over my mouth]' he said. 'I thought, 'This can't be right'. And by the time [the water rose to my nose], I thought, 'I'm sure this is not right'. 'But then, of course, if you got this thing screwed on top of you, you can't breathe. You can't even make yourself heard, you know: 'Get it off me!'' he added. Attenborough related how a testy director of operations refused to believe the equipment had a fault. 'So he put it on and I'm happy to say he went under the water and came up even quicker than I did ('Blimey', interjected the prince), because there was actually a fault.' Ocean, Attenborough's new National Geographic documentary special, confronts the enormity of the loss in ocean life. It will become available for streaming globally on Saturday 8 June, World Ocean's Day. In the film with the prince, publicising the documentary's release, Sir David describes how the world knew very little about the intricacies of life in our oceans when he took his first dive. Attenborough spoke of how the experience was a 'sensory overload'. But now, he said, the same dive in Australia's shallow warm water cay is likely to look disastrously worse: globally, corals have suffered tremendous loss as a result of human-caused ocean warming. 'Dave, from what you've obviously seen over the years, what states would you say the oceans were in right now?' asked the prince in the film, which will shortly be posted on Kensington Palace social media platforms. 'The awful thing is that it's hidden from you and from me and most people,' replied Attenborough. 'The thing which I was appalled by when I first saw the shots taken for this film, is that what we have done to the deep ocean floor is just unspeakably awful. 'I mean, if you did anything remotely like it on land, everybody would be up in arms,' he said. 'If this film does anything – if it just shifts public awareness – it'll be very, very important, and I only hope that people who see it will recognise that something must be done before we destroy this great treasure.' Sign up to What's On Get the best TV reviews, news and features in your inbox every Monday after newsletter promotion Attenborough said he hoped that by confronting the destruction of the ocean, the next generation will be inspired to save it. He told the prince: 'What is heartening, really, is that we have the entrée to people's front rooms – whole families, sitting at home in comfort – can actually suddenly see this coming up. Films like this can expose something new.' Prince William agreed that we must remain optimistic about ocean recovery: it is vital, he said, for stabilising the climate and securing a healthier future for us all. 'I wonder whether this should be a moment for optimistic excitement for the next generation,' he asked Attenborough. 'They can become bigger explorers and find more data. The next 50 years will be incredible.' Attenborough agreed. 'Yes. Very much so.'
