Miranda Kerr's ex, New York based Aussie rocker Jay Lyon, says he's looking forward to bringing his new girlfriend, reality TV star Whitney Port, Down Under next month.
Lyon says the two are hoping to attend the Australian MTV awards in March.
"I want to show her where I come from and my home town, and my friends," Lyon told AAP on Thursday.
"She's been here before, but never with an Aussie who can show her the secret spots like I can.
"At this stage it just depends on scheduling."
If all goes to plan, Lyon's band Tamarama will perform on the red carpet at the MTV awards and Port will host the show, he said.
Lyon, a former Sydney model who went by the name Brent Tuhtan, dated supermodel Miranda Kerr for four years, before hooking up with Port, who he met while performing on the set of the reality TV show The Hills last year.
Port has since received a spin-off show called The City, following her life working in fashion publicity in New York.
As Port's boyfriend, Lyon features heavily in the reality MTV series, which premiere in Australia next week.
"It's been really tough on our relationship," Lyon said.
"It's new to Whitney, it's new to me, it's a matter of trial and error.
Lyon says he hopes Australian audience warm to him and don't take him too seriously.
"I'm just hoping that Australia loves the fact that the Aussies are on there," Lyon said.
"I hope the Aussies don't give me too hard of a time, I'm representing out here for us."
As for Kerr, Lyon says the two still have the odd text or phone call but have moved on.
"I'm a human being so obviously whenever you spend that much time with anyone there's an emotional attachment," Lyon said.
"But I think me and Miranda, we've moved on in our lives - she's got her thing going on and I've got my things going on.
"So there's no hard feelings there at all. I care about her, and everything's good."
The City premieres on MTV on Monday, February 9 at 4.30pm.
