Ricki-Lee Coulter looked loved up and well fed on Friday when she stepped out for a casual date night.
The Australian Idol star, 39, joined husband Richard Harrison for a bite at hamburger eatery Five Guys in Sydney’s George Street.

The beer wasn’t the only think Ricki-Lee appeared close to in the photo, with Richard cuddling the radio star as she happily quaffed her beverage.

‘At the moment, I’m just looking forward to a holiday at Christmas – I can’t think that far ahead!’ the pop star said at the time.
‘2024 has been such a huge year – with my album coming out in March, touring and playing shows all year, hosting Australian Idol which was on air until April.

‘Then we started filming auditions for the new season in October, as well as doing my radio show every day.
‘I’ve been working so hard and I’m very much looking forward to switching off and disconnecting and relaxing!’
The singer earlier revealed the secret to her decade-long career was being surrounded by a team of people who say it like it is – including Richard, who is her manager.
‘I don’t want to be surrounded by “yes people”,’ Ricki told The Sunday Telegraph.
She explained: ‘It’s not about stroking my ego or hurting my feelings. It’s about telling the truth.’
The singer added that she and Richard have managed to strike a good balance between. the personal and professional.
‘The reason Rich and I work so well is he loves me first, but when it comes to business and music, there is no one more brutal and ruthless than him,’ she said.
Earlier, she told Stellar she had to set boundaries after her husband woke her at night to talk about work.
