Australian sports stars Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary were seen at Sydney Airport bidding each other farewell in a heartwarming departure. Fowler was preparing to fly to Adelaide to join the Matildas for their match against China, while Cleary, currently sidelined due to a troublesome hamstring injury, was there to see her off.
The affectionate scene between the Penrith NRL halfback and the Matildas star involved smiles, hand-holding, and Cleary assisting Fowler with her luggage. They also took pictures with fans, displaying a close bond before Fowler’s departure.
The couple, who have been together since late last year, had a brief reunion in Sydney before parting ways. Both were dressed in casual tracksuit tops, with Fowler in a simple Adidas piece valued at approximately $90, and Cleary sporting a Rhude beach club printed hoodie worth up to $1175.
Their relationship first drew attention when they were seen together shortly after the Women’s World Cup in Australia last year, and their public appearances and social media activity seemed to confirm their romance. Cleary made their relationship “Instagram official” in January of this year. Despite their high profiles, both athletes maintain a level of privacy regarding their personal lives.
Fowler, actively involved in the Matildas’ preparation for the Paris Olympics in July, plays a crucial role in the team’s success, especially in the absence of injured striker Sam Kerr. Meanwhile, Cleary, a prominent NRL player, has been dealing with a troublesome hamstring injury that has kept him out of the game.
Their heartfelt farewell at the airport showcased the genuine affection shared by this powerhouse couple, amidst their busy schedules and demanding careers. They have managed to find moments together despite their professional commitments. It’s heartwarming to witness such a public display of affection from two individuals who typically keep their personal lives private.
As both Fowler and Cleary continue to excel in their respective sports, it is clear that their relationship serves as a source of support and comfort for them. Their touching airport farewell signifies the enduring bond they share as they navigate the demanding and often challenging world of professional sports.
