He is the model, Ironman, and lifeguard that comes from a family of Australian sporting royalty while she is a gorgeous influencer and businesswoman and together, Jett Kenny and Lily Brown make the perfect match.
After playing the field for a few years, the pair meet when the hunk was called in to do a shoot for Brown’s brand, Chille, in early 2023, and they’ve been smitten with each other ever since.
While they’ve been spotted on heaps of romantic holidays during their relationship, things are believed to have taken a turn for the more serious in July 2024, when it was reported they were getting ready to move in together at a family-owned property on the Gold Coast.
Here, WHO looks back on their modern love story…
Who is Jett Kenny?
Jett Kenny, son of Olympic swimmer Lisa Curry and Ironman legend Grant Kenny, has made a name for himself both in and out of the surf.
A seasoned competitor in the Ironman Surf Lifesaving Championships, Jett has also become a familiar face on Australian television, making a splash in shows like Dancing With The Stars, SAS: Australia and Gladiators and walking the catwalk for David Jones.
Proving he is an all-round nice guy, Kenny raised awareness for cancer when he stripped down for The Full Monty.
Despite his privileged upbringing, life hasn’t always been easy for Kenny though.
His famous parents split in 2009, when he was just 14.
Devastatingly, Kenny’s older sister Jaimi passed away in 2020 at the age of 33.
“[Losing Jaimi] was an eye opener that death is a part of life but there are days when I sit there and remember I had an older sister,” Kenny told the Courier Mail in September 2024. “It’s sad that she’ll never get to hang out with Lily and she’ll never meet our kids.”
Who is Lily Brown?
Brown first made waves in the digital world when she launched her YouTube channel in 2015, quickly amassing over 100,000 subscribers in just three months.
Her success continued on Instagram, where she now boasts over 330,000 followers.
Known for her collaborations with global brands like MCo Beauty, The Ordinary, and Redken, Brown has since expanded her empire by launching her own business, Chille, a pyjama brand that has taken off since its inception in 2021.
In addition to her business ventures, Brown launched her podcast, Red Hot The Pod, in October 2023, where she discusses beauty, wellness, and life experiences with family, friends, and experts.
Is Jett Kenny in a relationship?
Yes ladies, he is off the market!
Kenny and Brown first sparked rumours in late 2022 and officially debuted their relationship on New Year’s Eve with a shared photo of them kissing.
Kenny captioned his post with “To the future,” while Lily echoed his sentiment with, “You’d be a tough one to keep a secret.”
Their love story has continued to blossom, with the couple recently celebrating their one-year anniversary in January 2024.
Earlier this year, Kenny and Brown shared glimpses of their romantic Hawaiian getaway on social media. The trip, however, wasn’t without its challenges. An attempt to hike the infamous Stairway to Heaven trail ended in a humorous twist when a hungover Lily had to turn back halfway.
Kenny teased that he might have proposed at the top, adding a light-hearted note to the trip.
Despite the hiccup, the couple remains stronger than ever.
In mid 2024, they set their sights set on winning The Amazing Race Australia, planning use their excellent communication skills and her ability to sweet-talk and barter to their advantage.
Do Jett and Lily win The Amazing Race Australia?
Despite starting off very strong, Kenny and Brown were the fourth pair to be eliminated from The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition in 2024.
After travelling across Argentina and Thailand, their journey ended abruptly in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Eating challenges proved to be a major hiccup for the pair, who choose to take a one-hour time penalty rather than finish a challenge eating a whole cow’s head.
While Brown is a pro on social media, she admitted to finding reality TV a bit daunting.
“I had never done TV before and I typically avoid any ‘race’ scenarios in my life, so once we set off from the mat on day one and it was literally go, go, go it was pretty stressful,” Brown told 10 Play.
Is Jett Kenney engaged?
After joking that he was going to propose until Brown was too hungover to make it to the end of their hike in Hawaii, Kenny has set the record straight.
“We’re not engaged and there was no ring,” he has said.
But he did confirm that he sees getting down on bended knee as part of their future.
“Lily doesn’t know when the proposal is going to come,” he said. “…I’ll keep her on her toes.”
