- Ben Cousins has revealed his relationship status
- Footy legend opened up on the radio on Wednesday
- He has also launched his Instagram account
Footy legend Ben Cousins has confirmed he is still single and on the market, with the West Coast great admitting that a relationship ‘would be nice’.
Cousins, 45, made the revelation on Mix94.5’s Pete & Kymba show on Wednesday morning, after being quizzed as to whether he has a new partner.
‘People think that you’re in a relationship!’ Kymba said.
‘People think that’s what we’re about to reveal because Pete has said this is about a big thing in your life.
Pete quipped: ‘People think you’ve got yourself a missus. Do you?’
But Cousins set the record straight: ‘No, no missus, unfortunately!’
‘Let’s face it, when Ben gets a girlfriend, it’s because it’s going to be our doing! We’re going to make it happen!’ Kymba added.
‘One hurdle at a time please guys!’ Cousins pleaded.
Cousins, who has two children – Angelique, 10, and Bobby, 12 – also launched his brand new Instagram page @bencousins_official, but said he was struggling to decide what to post first.
‘I am feeling the pressure of what is going to be my opening post!’ Cousins said.
A listener called Gigi suggested Cousins share his famous tattoo.
‘Definitely his iconic abdominal tattoo that says ‘Such is Life’,’ she said.
‘Putting a tattoo on a stomach is a risk, isn’t it? Because it morphs with age, but yours is still really together,’ Kymba said.
‘I didn’t really think it through! I stuffed up many times a lot worse than that, I didn’t really have time to think about that one,’ Cousins said.
Cousins has got his life back on track after a string of controversies during his colourful playing career and his early retirement years.
He has been strictly following a disciplined training regime ahead of his appearance on Dancing with the Stars later this year.
