A Sydney socialite and entrepreneur has \u2018hard launched\u2019 her new boyfriend on Instagram this week, with her post quickly going viral. Some would say for the wrong reasons. <\/p>\n
Kristen Fisher, 40, the eastern suburbs\u2019 go-to celebrity brow expert, shared a carousel of photos to officially debut her new relationship with Shannon Sykes, a Morgan Stanley finance worker who is 12 years her junior. <\/p>\n
The lovebirds\u2019 pics included snaps of their romance \u2013 but it was a photo of the 28-year-old in a controversial T-shirt that got people really talking. <\/p>\n
It was a white T-shirt with a risque slogan emblazoned on the back, while he stood next to Kristen\u2019s daughter, Lila, 12. <\/p>\n
The $60 T-shirt, from the brand Frased, read: \u2018Your mom is my cardio\u2019. <\/p>\n
As Sykes wore the divisive shirt, Fisher\u2019s daughter sat on the couch under a blanket, smiling while flipping the camera the bird.<\/p>\n
Another photo showed him wearing a T-shirt with a close-up of Fisher\u2019s face on it. <\/p>\n
In other snaps, the pair are enjoying each other\u2019s company on the beach, at black-tie events, on road trips, sunsets, coastal walks, breakfasts, and while sipping hotel poolside cocktails. <\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of replying to the 8000 DMs, texts, voice notes etc \u2026 Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, immortalised on the grid,\u201d Fisher captioned the post.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe rumours are true! I am spoken for. And yes, I bought him the T-shirt in slide seven.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her fans and friends rushed to the comments to praise the post, with one saying they were an \u201cinsanely good-looking couple\u201d and someone else writing that the photos brought her \u201cso much joy\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe love a strong launch,\u201d Amy Gerard, fellow influencer, wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cBetting his LinkedIn is busier than Mecca on a beauty loop weekend!\u201d someone else joked. <\/p>\n
Then the attention turned to the T-shirt. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe shirt, though,\u201d someone wrote with a laughing emoji. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, no, the T-shirt kills me,\u201d added another. <\/p>\n
The Daily Telegraph\u2019s Confidential called the choice of \u2018cardio\u2019 shirt \u201cbaffling\u201d \u2013 given a child featured in the image.<\/p>\n
The hard launch comes as Fisher appears to be re-entering Sydney society circles after several years of public controversies.<\/p>\n
