An Auckland-based business owner and influencer has debuted a surprise relationship with disgraced ex-police officer Jamie Foster on social media.

Sera Cruickshank, who owns The Diamond Shop in Ponsonby, shared a video on Instagram earlier this month featuring Foster, who was convicted of rape in March 2020.

He has since been released on parole, but must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet on his ankle.

Foster was not named or tagged in the video, which includes clips of the couple spending time together, travelling and playing on the beach with Cruickshank’s children.

Her followers quickly spotted Foster’s ankle bracelet, as did news outlets such as the Daily Mail Australia.
