After a tumultuous romantic life over the years, Aussie singing sweetheart Casey Donovan is now all smiles after finding true love.
Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal that Casey, 32, has been dating Renee Sharples for months now, with the pair so in love they’re planning to move in together!
According to a friend close to the couple, Casey has been dating Renee, who is a lecturer in paramedicine, since last November, and while she’s attempting to keep their romance low-key, she has been enjoying the newfound confidence dating a woman has given her.
“This is such a good thing for Casey,” the insider tells Woman’s Day.
“While she’s always been confident, she’s still navigating her way through the aftermath of being catfished for six years.
Casey has finally found true love.

We’re told Casey’s friends have never seen the singer so happy and content, and have credited Renee for the positive changes.

In December, Casey told Woman’s Day she was nervously gearing up to help Renee’s family cook up a huge Christmas feast.
“I’m spending my day with her family… I’m not nervous at all,” she joked of the pair’s festive plans.
Match made in heaven: The couple are well suited.

While Casey identified as straight at the time, she admitted to sleeping with Olga after she was coerced into it by “Campbell”.
