On Tuesday, Cody and his Belgian model girlfriend Marloes Stevens sat down for a competitive date night, as her home country played Australia in women’s basketball at the Olympic games.

Marloes shared a cute image of the duo cuddled up together on the sofa, which she captioned: ‘May the best win… but the best is Belgium, so you lose.’

She later shared a picture of the TV, and captioned it: ‘Go cats! Go Belgium!’

However, Marloes didn’t brag too much after Belgium beat Australia 85-70, as she sweetly wrote: ‘YES! Amazing game by both teams!’

Marloes travelled to Australia with her musician boyfriend earlier this year as he took part in the Australian Swimming trials for the Tokyo Olympics.

After doing 14-days of quarantine in Howard Springs, she and Cody first travelled to his hometown of the Gold Coast.

They later went to Adelaide for the swim trials, where the singer competed against some of Australia’s top swimmers – but he sadly missed out on making the Olympic team.

While he isn’t going to Tokyo, Cody has vowed to be ready for the Paris Olympics in 2024, writing in an Instagram post: ‘See you in three years.’
