Rugby League star Nathan Cleary has found himself at the center of swirling romance rumors with Matildas soccer player Mary Fowler, with an innocent photo taken over the weekend adding fuel to the speculation.
Cleary, a champion player for the Panthers, was spotted in Perth on Sunday, where the Matildas put on a dominant performance to secure an 8-0 win over the Philippines in their Olympic qualifier at Optus Stadium.
Fowler herself scored a goal during the match, while Caitlin Foord and Sam Kerr both notched hat-tricks.
The Matildas' impressive display has only increased the excitement surrounding the team's prospects in the qualifiers, but it is Cleary's presence at the stadium that has captured attention.
The 25-year-old rugby league player was seen posing for a selfie with fans, and his appearance in Perth has once again sparked rumors of a potential romance with Fowler.
The pair was previously spotted together during the Matildas' World Cup campaign earlier this year, further igniting speculation about their relationship.
As fans eagerly await confirmation or denial of the rumors, Cleary's support for Fowler and the Matildas continues to be a topic of interest for sports enthusiasts.
