In a heartwarming and affectionate reunion, Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler shared a kiss at Sydney Airport, marking another milestone in their budding romance as the Aussie sporting power couple.
Cleary, a three-time NRL premiership winner with Penrith, eagerly awaited Fowler's arrival from Dubai, where she had been representing the Matildas in the Women's World Cup.
The couple's joy was evident as they embraced and walked out of the airport, smiles lighting up their faces.
News Corp's published pictures captured their tender moment, revealing their tight bond and Cleary's chivalry in helping Fowler with her suitcases.
This reunion marked their first encounter since Cleary bid farewell to Fowler in Perth, following her impressive performance in the Matildas' Olympic Games qualifiers.
Speculations about their relationship soared when Cleary attended the Matildas' dominant 8-0 victory over the Philippines.
Later, their affectionate display at a park in Perth solidified their connection before Fowler rejoined her team for a triumph against Chinese Taipei.
However, their time together was cut short as Fowler returned to the UK for her season with Manchester City, while Cleary embarked on a holiday to the US.
Cleary has since returned to training with Penrith, keen to make a successful comeback after a knee injury suffered in the NRL grand final.
The extent of their time together remains uncertain, with Fowler's next match for Manchester City scheduled for January 15.
