The woman who shocked Australia by intentionally fathering a child with her father has split up with her dad and found new love.
Jenny Deaves, who was in a long-term relationship with her father John, is now engaged to bisexual father-of-three Shayne Farrell.
"I love Shayne. He's been an emotional and physical godsend," Ms Deaves was reported as saying in New Idea magazine.
"We've only known each other 10 weeks and people may think we have rushed into things but he's my rock.
"Now my love is legal."
But despite living with her new fiance, Ms Deaves, 40, continues to allow her 62-year-old father and former lover to live under the same roof.
John Deaves is reportedly receiving treatment for alcoholism after a suicide attempt.
But his future son-in-law says he has no problems with their living arrangements.
"I don't feel threatened by living with John," the magazine reported Mr Farrell as saying.
"He's [the one-year-old daughter's] dad and I'm Jenny's fiance, and we do get on."
The story of the Deaves' incestuous relationship outraged the country when they revealed their story on 60 Minutes in April.
At that time the pair were living together in the South Australian town of Mount Gambia. New Idea claims they have since moved to Adelaide.
While living together with Jenny's two children from a previous marriage, the Deaves conceived two children.
Their first baby died of congenital heart defects soon after being born.
Their second child is reportedly in good health.
John and Jenny say they broke up in July after they were hit with a court-enforced sex ban.
