She continued: ‘We have a strong sense of family and a love for fitness [in common].’
Elsewhere in the interview, Kayla said ‘things are going good’ with Tobi, but admitted ‘obviously at times it’s really hard’.
Kayla confirmed her split from Tobi, who is the father of her two-year-old daughter, Arna Leia Pearce, in August last year.
She told this month’s Women’s Health Australia magazine: ‘It’s early days, so I won’t share too much, but I’m super happy.’
The former couple, who were together for eight years, founded the Bikini Body Training Company together after meeting in late 2012.
The popular brand went on to amass a following of more than 20 million fitness enthusiasts worldwide thanks to their workouts, app and ebooks.
They were named joint fifth on the Australian Financial Review’s Young Rich List for 2018, making them the wealthiest self-made twentysomethings in Australia.

The way they were: The former couple had welcomed their first child together, daughter Arna Leia, in April 2019, just two months after Tobi had surprised Kayla with an engagement party
That year, Forbes estimated the then-couple’s shared net worth to be $696million.
Their fitness programs help people transform their bodies and achieve dramatic weight loss at the gym or from home.
At the time of their separation, Kayla said in a statement that she and Tobi would remain friends and business partners.
‘After eight years together, Tobi and I have come to the difficult decision to separate as a couple. We will always be family, and remain good friends and devoted parents to Arna,’ she said.
‘We have grown up together in Adelaide, sharing a lifetime of experiences and special memories from moving into our first apartment and starting SWEAT from our lounge room to becoming parents to our beautiful daughter.
‘Our friendship remains strong as we parent Arna together and run SWEAT as business partners. Thank you for your support and kindness during this time.’
