Channel 9 host goes public with new romance with Aussie cricketer

A popular Channel 9 personality has quietly been seeing an Aussie cricket star and one photo has been warming hearts.

Channel 9 personality Sophie Walsh and Aussie cricketer Moises Henriques have gone public with their romance.

Walsh confirmed their relationship with an adorable photo of the couple from inside Taylor Swift’s Saturday night blockbuster at Accor Stadium in Sydney.

News Corp first revealed the pair have quietly been seeing each other recently.

The first sign the couple gave fans was a photo Walsh shared on her Instagram page in January.

That photo warmed the hearts of Walsh’s TV colleagues, including Jayne Azzopardi, Gabrielle Boyle, Clint Stanaway, Davina Smith, Belinda Russell and Charles Croucher.

Azzopardi wrote: “This makes me happy.”

Walsh and Henriques looked all loved up when they posed for a photo from seats overlooking Swift’s stadium spectacular on Saturday night.

Henriques, 37, is a popular figure in Australian cricket, having represented his country in all three formats of the game.

The Sydney Sixers captain has a four-year-old son from his former marriage with ex-partner Krista Thomas.

Henriques and Thomas were married in 2018 with a picturesque wedding in Cairns.

The star all-rounder, who has won three Big Bash League titles, has previously spoken about his desire to be the best father figure he can.

Henriques has not shared any photos of Walsh on his own Instagram page.

The ageless star recently signed a monster three-year extension with the Sixers – a deal that will set him on the path to becoming the BBL’s all-time games record holder.

He has been widely praised for bravely speaking out about his long-term mental illness and took time away from the sport in 2017 to focus on his mental health during a period where he lost 10kg in the space of four weeks.

Meanwhile, Walsh’s Channel 9 colleague Danika Mason has also been quietly dating a star athlete.

Mason, who cancelled her wedding weeks out from the big day has been seeing Canterbury Bulldogs forward Liam Knight.

Mason, 33, was earlier this month seen “cuddling up” to Knight, 29, on a date at The Butler restaurant in Sydney’s Potts Point.

Mason has been a picture of strength since the cancellation of her wedding to personal trainer Todd Liubinskas in October last year.

That came after reports that she’d been contacted by a third party and asked to hand her engagement ring back to ex-partner Liubinskas.

The couple had been in a relationship for over three years at the time of their break-up.
