She is one of MasterChef’s great success stories, and it seems Justine Schofield’s personal life is looking equally as bright these days.

The pair are believed to have started dating only recently, as they were first pictured together on Instagram on March 14.

Brent, who played footy professionally for 13 years until his retirement in 2015, has even introduced his girlfriend to his family.
The former West Coast Eagles and Brisbane Lions star took Justine to visit his relatives in Broken Hill, NSW, early last week.
After this, they enjoyed a romantic holiday in Shoalhaven Heads, a town about two hours south of Sydney.
Celebrity chef Justine, who previously dated TV presenter Matt Doran from 2014 to 2017, is yet to comment on the relationship or share a photo of Brent to Instagram.
Brent, on the other hand, has uploaded several posts of the couple visiting farmers’ markets and exploring his ‘old stomping ground’ of Broken Hill.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Justine Schofield via Channel 10’s publicity department for comment.
During his AFL career, Brent was involved in a notorious on-field incident in 2008 when he was punched in the face by Sydney Swans full-forward Barry Hall.
Footage of the attack made headlines worldwide and Barry, who has also since retired from the game, was suspended for seven weeks.
Justine was a breakout star of MasterChef and later landed her own cooking show on Channel 10, Everyday Gourmet, which is now in its tenth season.
