Cody Simpson makes surprising confession about future with pool queen girlfriend Emma McKeon after Olympics

• Simpson reveals 'one thing' McKeon never had as a child
• I'm fighting to be on the Australian team for the Paris Games.

Cody Simpson has made a surprising confession about his future with Emma McKeon, explaining that he and his superstar girlfriend will be venturing into uncharted territory just months after the 2024 Olympics.

McKeon has revealed that the Paris Games will be his last Olympics, and the couple's lives will change dramatically after the Games.

Simpson is currently competing for a spot on Australia's national team, but has not yet decided whether to retire from swimming after the Games and return to music.

But he described the Olympics as a “fairy tale end” to his journey and hinted he could take a break from competing.

He also answered what his relationship with McKeon will be after that.

“We purposefully put brick walls on both sides to help us cope in case of an emergency,” he told News Corp.

“But there was never a time in my life where I didn’t know what was going to happen next.

“Emma has never lived a life without swimming. I know what it's like, but she's never experienced it, so I don't think she experienced it as a child. I'm looking forward to her exploring other interests and having time to do that.

“I'm very fortunate to be someone who just has a lot to look forward to and who has other passions and careers that I can pursue again depending on what I choose from the pool.

“I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I'll make a decision later this year.”

But whatever happens, Simpson insists he's committed to his chances and plans to leave happy even if he doesn't qualify for the Paris Olympics.

“In a way, I really can't fail, because being selected to this year's Olympic team is either success or failure,” Simpson said in a cryptic statement.

“A fairytale ending would be nice, but it either happens or it doesn't, and that's the reality.

“There's not much I can control other than giving it my all. So if it's not good enough that day, it's not good enough that day.

“But either way, I really gave everything to see what I could do in this sport and have had a lot of success along the way.”

Before pausing his music career, Simpson recorded four albums and played the lead role of Dmitry in the Broadway musical Anastasia.

McKeon, Australia's most decorated Olympian in history, considered quitting swimming after the Tokyo Olympics and considered taking a break from the sport before returning.

“I think what kept me going after Tokyo was the feeling that I had more to give and that I could do better and faster,” she says. Told.

“That’s kind of what brought me back to the pool.

“But it's not motivation that I rely on. It's just having my goal in mind and being disciplined to understand what I have to do to achieve that goal.” is.”
