Nathan Cleary drives fans wild after ‘soft launch’ of new girlfriend Mary Fowler on Instagram as sporty power couple get cozy on the beach and share intimate coffee date

Nathan Cleary has featured Mary Fowler on his Instagram page for the first time, with eagle-eyed fans spotting the Matildas star in his latest post.

Days after Fowler cheekily featured Cleary in her recent post, the NRL star has posted photos of the Manchester City forward in a series of images captioned: ‘Grateful’.

The Penrith superstar can be seen resting on a pair of legs on the beach, with many fans claiming they are Fowler’s, as well as a photo of two pairs of hands each holding a coffee.

One of the hands has a cross tattoo, the same tattoo Fowler has on her left hand.

Several fans noticed the small details and shared their excitement.

The footy star posted two photos and fans were quick to spot Fowler’s tattoo in one of them

“THE SOFT LAUNCH,” one fan wrote.

Another said: ‘@maryfowlerrr WE LOVE TO SEE IT’

A third added: ‘Soft launch nath’

Fowler, 20, flew into Sydney to be greeted by her NRL star boyfriend on December 19 and was spotted playing a flirty game of footy and going out for dinner with him before flying to Cairns to be with her family for Christmas.

Her latest photos on Instagram were posted on Tuesday with the caption “R&R” and show her relaxing on a beach in the tropics with her dog and enjoying a healthy meal.

From there, however, the location changes to the Gold Coast, where she was spotted enjoying a meal with Cleary and some friends at luxury dining spot Burleigh Pavilion on December 28.

Fowler’s new photo, taken from a room in a high-rise hotel on the Glitter Strip, appears to show Cleary hugging her in a reflection captured in a window on the far right of the image.

Cleary and Fowler enjoyed the summer together after she returned from England

On December 24, the Matildas star showed her Instagram followers a series of photos and videos she took during her trip to see her loved ones in Cairns, Queensland over the festive break.

Fowler took photos and videos as she took in the region’s stunning scenery on one of the city’s biggest tourist attractions, the Cairns Skyrail, as the waters of Cyclone Jasper raged beneath her.

The trip north to celebrate Christmas with her family came after Fowler had a whirlwind few days in Sydney.

Following her romantic reunion with Cleary at Sydney airport, Fowler opened up about her dream of starting a family of her own as she proved to be a big hit with the youngsters at Rise & Shine Kindergarten in the city’s south.

The loved-up couple then looked more in love than ever as they gave each other tips on how to play their respective footy codes during an hour-long training session at an oval near Cleary’s home in Penrith.

Both stars looked to the moon to be together and got down to business lovingly as Fowler tested her NRL passing skills and Cleary showed surprising skills with a football.

The stars were recently called Nath-ilda, but the name didn’t go down well with fans, with many claiming it was unacceptable because it didn’t include Mary Fowler’s name.

Cleary and Fowler first attracted attention as a potential couple after being spotted together twice following the Women’s World Cup.

Initial sightings included a leisurely stroll along the Nepean River in Penrith, where the 25-year-old NRL sensation and the Matildas forward spent quality time together.

They were also observed sharing ice cream after a promotional event organized by Adidas, a brand that both athletes endorse.

The couple publicly debuted their romance in Perth in October, confirming suspicions from previous sightings.
