‘She’s head over heels. They’ve been dating for a few months now, but things are still very early stages into their relationship,’ they said.

During their public outing, the smitten couple appeared cosy, as Jodi held onto her adorable daughter’s arm while her new man, Cedric, walked behind the pair. 

Jodi has had an eventful past year, having suffered from exhaustion and announcing her exit from Channel Ten soap Neighbours.

The career move also saw her moving back to Sydney from Melbourne, where Neighbours is filmed, to spend more time with her daughter. 

She has since been auditioning for many television and film projects.

Jodi took a three-week hiatus from filming the Channel 10 show in June last year, with her manager blaming the constant travel between Sydney and Melbourne.

'She's living between two cities, she's also a single mum and there are challenges that come with it,' her manager said at the time. Pictured with her daughter Aleeia

Braith and Jodi announced their split at the end of 2015, stating that they would ‘remain best of friends’ for the sake of their daughter.

Prior to dating Braith, Jodi had a high-profile relationship with Channel Seven heir Ryan Stokes.
