Former Bachelor star Brittany Hockley has revealed she’s set to join her tennis star boyfriend Jordan Thompson on tour overseas.
The WAG and podcast host, 32, announced on Instagram on Friday that she’s going to be helping him out on the road with ‘tournament logistics.’
Brittany is currently in Sydney and has been in a long-distance relationship with Jordan in recent weeks while he’s in Europe on tour, due to being unable to travel amid the coronavirus pandemic and with the subsequent restrictions.
Life of a WAG: Bachelor star-turned-WAG Brittany Hockley revealed on Friday that she’s going overseas to reunite with tennis star boyfriend Jordan Thompson while he’s on tour to help with ‘tournament logistics’
But she will help out with tournament logistics and will also be doing her podcast overseas, she announced.
‘I’m going away for a few months to see Jordan… I’m going to Wimbledon first, then possibly Mexico and then America,’ Brittany said.
‘He needed someone to help him out with tournament logistics, so I put my hand up,’ she said.
Brittany also assured fans that while she will be overseas, her commitment to her podcast Life Uncut – which she co-hosts with Laura Byrne – will continue as they can record it anywhere in the world.
Two birds with one stone: While she yearns to reunite with her boyfriend, Brittany also admitted she is going to hit two birds with one stone as she plans to join his support team while he’s on tour. ‘He needed someone to help him out with tournament logistics, so I put my hand up,’ she said

‘But the podcast is going to continue, that will not stop.
‘I am very very lucky that Laura and I can record a podcast wherever in the world,’ she said.
This move should be a positive move for Brittany who has in the past complained about the difficulty of having a long-distance relationship with her sports star boyfriend.
The 26-year-old sports star is on a nine-month tennis tour.

Last month, Brittany discussed the challenges of being in a long-distance relationship during a candid interview with Stellar.
In the honest chat, Brittany – whose 26-year-old boyfriend most likely won’t return to Australia until December – admitted: ‘I’m not a needy person, but I’ve found myself getting massages once a week so someone touches me!’
‘This sounds a bit deep, but after being single for [so long] I thought I’d become desensitised to human affection and touch.’
Radiographer Brittany – who only confirmed her relationship with Jordan weeks before his departure – added that she hasn’t had a boyfriend for around ten years, so said she’s ‘used to’ being alone.

And she certainly understands the irony of her new romance, adding: ‘Trust me to fall in love with someone who is only in the country for four weeks a year!’
Brittany previously spoke out about the pair’s separation on Instagram, where she described Jordan as the ‘best thing that’s ever happened’ to her.
Alongside a photo of the pair, she wrote: ‘One weekend down. 38 to go.
‘I’ve already eaten 1.5 litres of ice-cream (delivered to my house of course) bought new furniture, almost drowned in a puddle of my own ice cream flavoured tears and taken on a new job. WHAT IS THIS WEIRD LOVEY THING I’M FEELING!?’
She signed off with: ‘Hopefully the whole ‘distance makes the heart grow fonder’ thing is legit and not just a catchy saying.’
Later in the day, Brittany looked heartbroken as she explained why the pair were taking their relationship long-distance.
‘So Jordan’s gone to do the tennis tour, and he’s gone for the whole year. Love that for us,’ she said. ‘He’ll probably come back in December.’
