Daniel Ricciardo’s ex Jemma Boskovich moves on with Supercars driver Andre Heimgartner

Formula One star Daniel Ricciardo’s ex-girlfriend Jemma Boskovich has moved on with a new man – and he also happens to be a professional race car driver.

The jewellery designer, 31, is now dating New Zealand-born Supercars driver Andre Heimgartner, 26, who confirmed their romance to The Daily Telegraph on Friday.

‘We met through a mutual friend in New Zealand and have been together two or three months,’ Andre told the newspaper.

‘It is still early days obviously. We will see what happens. You never know what will happen,’ he added.

Andre said the couple first met via Instagram, and described his girlfriend as a ‘very nice person’.

Jemma’s new romance comes five years after her split with McLaren F1 driver Daniel. 

During an interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2016, host Kyle Sandilands seemed unaware of their break-up as he spoke to Daniel about his personal life. 

Kyle applauded the motorsports ace for sticking with his ‘high school sweetheart’ unlike his fellow F1 drivers.

Meanwhile, Daniel maintained an awkward silence.

Kyle continued: ‘He’s a decent bloke. He’s with the same bird [he’s been with] since school. Whether he regrets it or not, I don’t know. Is that right, Daniel?’

Daniel eventually muttered: ‘Uh, this is awkward.’

Co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson jumped in to rescue Kyle, asking their guest: ‘Why, you haven’t split up, have you? Don’t tell me that!’

‘It’s all good. Next subject,’ cringed Daniel.

Months before this interview, fellow F1 driver Lewis Hamilton had sparked break-up rumours when he said Daniel was recently single.

Daniel and Jemma, who are both from Perth, lived together in Monaco for more than a year before calling it quits.
