Channel Nine star Danika Mason goes Instagram official with Bulldogs player Liam Knight – after ending engagement to Todd Liubinskas just three weeks before wedding
Danika Mason has launched her new romance, just months after she dumped her fiancé just weeks before they were due to get married.
The Channel Nine reporter beamed along with Bulldogs player Liam Knight in an Instagram post on Friday.
The couple went public with their romance after months of speculation, with the footballer sharing a photo of himself with Danika on his page.
“My life is beautiful,” he wrote in the caption, alongside the smitten photo of the couple hugging.
Danika, 33, dumped her ex Todd Liubinskas in September, just three weeks before their wedding.
The 40-year-old personal trainer has since been linked to 34-year-old sex book author Helen Chik.
Todd and Danika were due to tie the knot on October 27 at Greystone Estate in the New South Wales Hunter Valley, but Danika cancelled the wedding three weeks earlier.
The exact reason for the couple’s split is unclear and has been the subject of much speculation among football and media insiders.

Less than two weeks before the wedding was called off, the couple were seen arm in arm at the BYD electric car launch and showroom in Alexandria, Sydney.
After their breakup, another ex-girlfriend of Todd’s, whom he dated for seven years before he started dating Danika, sent her a message of support.
“I can only hope Danika isn’t surprised like I was or has experienced something similar. My condolences go out to her if she is,” the ex told Daily Mail Australia.
The publication previously reported that Todd had asked Danika to return her diamond engagement ring through a third party because it was an heirloom.

Danika, who alongside her role as presenter of Wide World of Sports also reports for Nine’s NRL coverage, was first spotted snuggling up to Liam earlier this year.
The TV star was spotted dating the 29-year-old Bulldogs presenter at The Butler restaurant in Sydney’s exclusive Potts Point in February.
An onlooker told Daily Mail Australia at the time that Danika seemed completely smitten with the footballer and was practically sitting on his lap as she looked wistfully into his eyes.
They started the evening sitting opposite each other, until Liam moved to Danika’s side of the table and they huddled together so everyone could see them.
“Her attitude was that of a relaxed woman enjoying a fling with a younger specimen in preparation for the season; her demeanor was that of a deer in the headlights,” the witness said.
