While Cody Simpson has seen success in the US, it’s his girlfriend, Emma McKeon, who every Australian swimming fan really follows.
Emma McKeon is a remarkable athlete, who has become a household name in the world of swimming, with her impressive performances in both national and worldwide competitions. McKeon has represented Australia at multiple Olympics and has won numerous medals, solidifying her status as one of the greatest swimmers in Australian history.
But McKeon’s success doesn’t stop there. She has also broken several world records, won multiple gold medals at the Commonwealth Games, and has been recognised as the Australian Swimmer of the Year multiple times. From the pool to the podium, Emma McKeon is a true inspiration to all Australians.
Below, we delve into her successes both in love and in swimming.
How Many Medals Has Emma Mckeon Won?
Emma McKeon has undoubtedly cemented herself as one of Australia’s greatest swimmers after her impressive performance at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
McKeon walked away with an impressive seven medals, making her the most decorated Australian Olympian of all time! The 27-year-old superstar claimed four golds in the 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 4x100m freestyle relay, and 4x100m medley relay events, as well as three bronze medals in the 100m butterfly, 4x200m freestyle relay, and mixed 4x100m medley relay.
McKeon’s incredible feat surpassed the previous record of six medals held by Ian Thorpe and Leisel Jones, solidifying her status as an Australian legend in the pool. We can’t wait to see what’s next for this remarkable athlete.
Is Emma Mckeon in a Relationship?
Cody Simpson and Emma McKeon reportedly started dating several months ago after Simpson, a successful singer-songwriter, postponed his music career to focus on competitive swimming. We’re still obsessed with this pivot by Simpson — from heartthrob pop icon, to an (almost) Olympic-level swimmer.
The story goes that Cody Simpson and Emma McKeon hit it off both romantically and as training partners, under swimming coach Michael Bohl.
Cody Simpson and Emma McKeon are two well-known Australian figures, but they come from different worlds. Emma McKeon is a champion swimmer who has represented Australia at the Olympics multiple times and has won numerous medals. On the other hand, Cody Simpson is a singer, songwriter, and actor who rose to fame through YouTube and social media.
Simpson was a competitive swimmer in his youth, even qualifying for the Australian Olympic Trials in 2016. However, he ultimately did not make the Olympic team. Despite not making the Olympic team, Simpson has continued to pursue his passion for swimming and has even spoken about how swimming helps him with his mental health and creativity. In 2020, he launched his own brand of swimwear called “Coast House,” which features sustainable and eco-friendly materials.
While Cody Simpson and Emma McKeon may not be a super public couple, they do frequently post really cute pictures to social media together. It’s clear that the pair are very in love and we’re so happy for them.
