‘It’s been pretty easy,’ Emma said.

‘I mean, we’ve got the same schedule , we’re tired at the same time, hungry at the same times, all that kind of stuff, so it makes living easy.’

The four-time world record holder made the comments during an on-stage interview for the Courier Mail Future Brisbane lunch reports 9Honey on Saturday.

The pair have been making headlines since going public earlier this year.

But Emma has revealed she remains focused on her swimming career despite the attention on her private life.

During an interview on Samantha Armytage‘s Something to Talk About podcast this week, she said she’d learnt to ignore the ‘outside stuff’.

‘I’m quite a private person [so] I used the lessons I’ve learnt from [swimming] to just be able to narrow in and put up those blinkers so outside stuff wasn’t coming into my circle,’ she said.

‘I didn’t want anything external [to affect my swimming].’

Emma and pop star Cody first hit it off several months ago as training partners under gun coach Michael Bohl.

The pair began dating several months ago after Simpson, a successful singer-songwriter, ditched his music career to focus on competitive swimming.

Cody is hoping to turn his Olympic dream into a reality in Paris in 2024 while Emma, who made history in Tokyo 2021 with a seven-medal haul, is looking to back up her record-breaking performance.

Cody has previously dated a string of A-listers including Miley Cyrus and Gigi Hadid.
