NRL and NRLW stars Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Jaime Chapman reportedly call time on relationship

Just six months after going public, two State of Origin stars appear to have separated with sad signs there for all to see.

It appears a rugby league power couple have called it quits, with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Jaime Chapman’s romance reportedly over after just six months.

NRL star Tabuai-Fidow and NRLW powerhouse Chapman delighted Aussie sport fans after going public with their relationship last December, becoming one of the most high-profile celebrity duos in the game.

But now there are telling signs that it is all but over between the pair. A quick look at their social media accounts shows some very sad signs.

The posts on Chapman’s Instagram page, which was once loaded with photos of her and the Dolphin’s fullback, have now been deleted.

The only posts remaining are of Chapman herself and with teammates, friends and family.

In the most telling sign, the Aussie representative no longer follows Tabuai-Fidow.

Meanwhile the Dolphins fullback’s Instagram still includes two posts with Chapman, but the vast majority have also been wiped.

One of the posts that remains is a post from January of the pair holding hands with the caption “My Love” with a red heart emoji.

Tabuai-Fidow still follows Chapman.

The Dolphins fullback, also known as “The Hammer,” has grown in popularity following his move to Redcliffe from the Cowboys in 2023, becoming a key player for the club and guaranteed origin starter.

Chapman, who joined the NRLW competition 2021 with the Dragons, later moved to the Broncos and gained a reputations as one of the best players in the league before a move to the Gold Coast Titans.

Chapman is also a rep footy mainstay with appearances for the Jillaroos and dominant performances for the NSW Blues women’s team this year.

Chapman said she would support Tabuai-Fidow across the border when he plays for the Maroons, but it appears she won’t be in the stadium when the winger runs out in a do-or-die decider at Accor Stadium in Game 3 next Wednesday.

The split would add to an already chaotic year for Chapman who has battled through injury, but also a nightmare AI deepfake scandal.

The Gold Coast Titans winger hit out after seeing doctored images of herself swirling around cyberspace, telling her 86,000 Instagram followers it was not the first time images she has shared on social media have been distorted through deepfake AI programs.

Her Instagram post showed a high rise photo of a beach and an inset image, believed to be the fake AI image, of herself posing for a mirror selfie in a golden bikini.

“Have a good day to everyone except those who make fake ai photos of other people,” she posted.

She also wrote: “Next time think of how damaging this can be to someone and their loved ones.

“This has happened a few times now and it needs to stop.”

Chapman’s season is set to start with Round 1 of the NRLW season kicking off this week while Tabuai-Fidow will be in Maroons camp preparing for the State of Origin decider.
