The Veronicas star Jessica Origliasso and her fiancée Alex Smith are the picture of domestic bliss in Brisbane
Jessica Origliasso and fiancée Alex Smith enjoyed a casual day out in Brisbane on Saturday, in spite of terrible weather.
The couple were spotted on busy shopping and food strip James Street in Fortitude Valley to enjoy a morning coffee.
The Veronicas star, 40, went casual for the weekend outing, stepping out in a black Chrome Hearts hooded jumper.
The relaxed fit jumper featured a yellow and orange patten on the sleeves and a long hood drawstring.
It also comes with quite an 'uncasual' price tag of $3000.
Jessica matched her luxe hoodie with a black leather A-line skirt that flowed freely down her trim pins.
She finished her look with a pair of chunky black Balenciaga combat-style boots with a $1750 price tag.
Going make-up free for the outing, Jessica wore her raven locks back in a tight ponytail.
She accessorised simply, too, carrying her mobile phone which she occasionally looked to as the couple strolled.
Alex, meanwhile, also dressed casually in a dark grey T-shirt that she wore over a chocolate brown zip-up sweater.
She also wore a pair of dark grey pants and a pair of black and white Nike sneakers, finishing her look with a black baseball cap.
While Jessica was content to scroll on her phone, Alex's hands were otherwise occupied with what appeared to be a cold brew coffee and a café treat in a brown paper bag.
The couple appeared comfortable and relaxed in each other's company as they walked amid the rainy Brisbane Saturday.
The outing comes after the couple were spotted packing on the PDA after a romantic lunch date in Sydney earlier this month.

Jessica and Alex enjoyed lunch at celebrity hotspot Mimi's in Coogee, before enjoying a stroll on an inclement Sydney day.
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.
Prior to Kai, Jessica was in a relationship with actress Ruby Rose.
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.

Braith Anasta opens up for the first time about the moment he thought he'd have to punch Latrell Mitchell in the face
Braith Anasta has revealed that he and Latrell Mitchell are on good terms following their frosty spat at a fancy Sydney restaurant last year. But the Fox Footy pundit revealed he had become worried that the South Sydney Rabbitohs star's anger could tip over the edge. The pair found themselves in the spotlight after Mitchell is understood to have confronted the NRL 360 host at Chin Chin, an Asian fusion restaurant located in Sydney's Surry Hills last May. Anasta, 43, had been critical of Mitchell's recent form, with the South Sydney star having believed some of the broadcaster's critics to have been too personal. Mitchell had approached the former Sydney Roosters star, who was dining with a friend. Both stood firm on their opinions and agreed to disagree and it is reported that the pair continued their disagreement in private, but the stand-off did not turn physical, despite Anasta revealing he had feared tempers could flare. 'I was thinking in my head, I can't let him land the first one because I'll be gone, because he's a beast,' Anasta said to The Daily Telegraph. 'I'd be lying if I said at some point, I didn't think it might happen. I can understand what he was going through and I can understand how frustrating it is when people have an opinion and you just want to play footy.' But it appears the pair have made amends since. 'Okay, let me get something clear here – before I tell it, me and Latrell are fine,' the former Roosters five-eighth explained. Their disagreement came after the Rabbitohs had complained to Fox chiefs that NRL 360 had been unfair on their stars. Anasta's criticisms came as the Rabbitohs slumped to the bottom of the ladder in 2024, following a dismal season that saw the Bunnies lose nine matches. Anasta, meanwhile, told his version of events from that evening in the restaurant, arguing that Mitchell could have called him and he would have happily addressed his complaints over the phone. 'It's not about putting shit on him. I don't want that. But what actually happened was, I finished NRL360 and … by Wednesday night, I just want to have a beer, and have something to eat and just relax,' the 43-year-old said. Anasta, who had coached Mitchell in the U20s, claimed he 'always had a good relationship' with the Rabbitohs star. But he revealed he had not had a chance to order, before Mitchell had approached him, to voice his grip. 'He goes: "No, no, no, no. I'm sick of you having a crack at me on 360, yada, yada, yada". I'm thinking: "Is he joking here, or is he serious?" 'And he goes: "Let's go outside". By that point, people are looking at us, right? It's the middle of Chin Chin's. It's a busy night. I thought, I need to de-escalate this, or at the very least, I need to get this out of this restaurant, right?' 'We go out the front and he just lays, he lays into me, right? He's standing over the top of me and he's having his whack. 'I'm like, man, okay, slow down. Because there was nothing making sense. It was just abuse. I said: "Mate, what am I doing that isn't right? Is there something that I'm wrong with? Can you just explain to me what you're angry with?" 'They were coming last at the time. I don't know if it was a week or two before, but I'd shown some vision of him at fullback.' Anasta explained: 'There were just a few instances where I thought he could be better. 'In that instant, he was over the top of me. I didn't back down at all. I gave as good as I got.' During an episode of the program, Anasta had questioned why Mitchell was playing fullback. 'You look at the great fullbacks in our game ... they are there before the play is there,' he said. 'They pre-empt it, they are moving before the ball goes, they are on their bike. 'Latrell ... he gets caught out a lot in defence, he's very rarely in the frame at the last second when there's a try or when he's got an opportunity to save a try. 'That's where he needs to improve. That comes down to fitness... and being one of those high-energy fullbacks. He plays differently.' But a year-on from that incident, Mitchell is currently playing out of his skin for the Rabbitohs and was a stand-out during last Wednesday's State of Origin opener. Mitchell notably set up Brian To'o for the try of the match, utilising his exceptional handling skills to find the flying NSW winger on his outside for the Blues' second score of the the Bunnies, Mitchell has five try assists across seven appearances so far this season, while he has also touched down twice himself, amassing a goal-conversion rate of 87 per cent.

Reality star addresses rumours that his collapsed nose was a result of drugs and partying: 'Can't rule it out'
Timm Hanly has addressed speculation surrounding his collapsed septum in a honest Instagram Q&A - and admitted his partying past could be partly to blame. The former Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise star took to his Stories on Wednesday after fans bombarded him with questions about the noticeable damage to his nose, prompting the 31-year-old to deliver a refreshingly candid explanation. 'Alright, let's just clear things up before we get right into this question box,' he began. '90% of the questions are like, is this from too much cocaine? Is this from too much partying?' And in classic Timm fashion, he didn't shy away from the rumours. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We can't rule out that it wasn't from cocaine or partying 'cause I've done lots of that in my life' he said. 'But I stopped doing that about five years ago when I started Front Runner, and I still had two good nostrils when I ended my partying career,' he admitted. Timm went on to reveal the more likely culprit was a brutal stint in the ring. 'I did have a boxing camp after that, which I got absolutely f***ing pumped in… my nose got broken a couple of times, so I'm gonna say boxing - but we can't completely rule out the cocaine fking conspiracy,' he added with a laugh. 'But yeah, those days are over... I'm done with all that. Everything I do now has a purpose.' The Melbourne-based larrikin has been open about his decision to overhaul his lifestyle in recent years, trading in wild nights out for business meetings and early mornings. Back in 2020, Timm told Daily Mail Australia he was ready for a 'different stage' of his life, crediting his streetwear brand for helping him find purpose after years of partying. 'I'm in a really good place at the moment,' he said at the time. 'It's like part of growing up. It's sort of exciting. It's like I've stepped into a new world.' Timm, known for his cheeky charm and trademark tattoos, launched Front Runner as a way to channel his energy into something productive and positive. 'For the first time in my life I've actually been able to finish something,' he said. 'I normally get too distracted or never find the time to complete things.' In July of that year, he also revealed he'd chosen to go sober after noticing his binge drinking was 'getting out of control'. 'I wasn't a daily drinker, more of a weekend binge drinker, but it would set me back for ages,' he explained. Now focused on health, business and personal growth, Timm has turned his life around – and while he's not denying his chaotic past, he's determined to move forward.
