The kiss was as unspectacular as Sonny Bill Williams' opponent but still Jaime Ridge was the centre of attention at her boyfriend's fight last night.
Ridge, who is the daughter of former rugby league star Matthew Ridge, sat in the front row next to her mother Sally and was dressed in a eye-catching pink dress.
The 18-year-old looked nervous before the fight but clapped enthusiastically after her boyfriend knocked out Clarence Tillman inside the first round.
After Williams had been handed the New Zealand heavyweight title bout, the All Black heartthrob went ringside and shared an awkward peck with his girlfriend of one month.
News of their relationship came to light after they had been seen out together in Auckland where Ridge lives, and in Hamilton where Williams plays Super Rugby for the Chiefs.
Ridge is studying law and commerce at the University of Auckland.
She is a regular in the Sunday Papers with Sally, and recently featured in a Metro magazine photo shoot of Auckland celebrities.
She has done some modelling work, including at last year's Fashion Week where she modelled a lingerie creation designed by her mother.
Williams was romantically linked with 21-year-old Cantabrian Aleisha Berryman last year.
