Their partners are among our state’s sporting elite, but these wives and girlfriends are stars in their own right on Instagram.

We’ve already counted down the top SA sport stars and footballers on the popular app now it’s time to get to know all of our sports WAGs finding fame and fortune on Insta.

You’ll recognise some of their names and be meeting others for the first time, but all can tell you a lot about their other halves.

But none are Instafamous enough to knock off Bel Sloane’s crown as SA’s top Insta WAG.

Partner: Jake Weatherald, Adelaide Strikers and Redbacks cricketer

It’s been quite the year for brunette maiden Rachel who bowled over Darwin-born Jake.

In May she graduated from Flinders University with a Bachelor of Health Sciences and Master of Physiotherapy. And in July the couple shared a happy snap – taken in Paris, no less – on their respective Instagram accounts. It showed them beaming, with the Eiffel Tower in the background, and, more importantly, Rachel waving her hand to show of a stunning engagement ring. “Yes! In a hundred lifetimes, I’d find you Jakey,” she captioned her post.

Partner: Greg Blewett, retired cricketer

Former lawyer Katheryn Blewett is enjoying the sweet smell of success with her personal care brand Nektar, which just happens to have close to 5000 followers on Insta. In just two years it has become a $1m business, which recently signed a deal to supply signature-scented candles to Adelaide Oval’s adjoining Oval Hotel. Greg, who played 46 Tests for Australia, recently told The Tiser he was “incredibly proud” of his wife. “She’s unbelievably driven. If I had that much drive in me at the start of my cricket career, I’d have played 150 Test matches,” he said.

Sunday was the hero of the 36ers final match of the 2022 season, driving his team to a 33-point thrashing of New Zealand. His partner of more than three years, law clerk Charlotte is his biggest fan. And the feeling is mutual. “Love is the person you want to go home to, the person you feel safest and most comfortable with … to me, love in a word is ‘Charlotte’,” Sunday told The Advertiser.

Jodie’s been Mrs Oddy for 11 years but she’s been a household name for years, thanks to her brilliant radio career. A ratings winner in the ultra-competitive breakfast timeslot for Mix 102.3, where she met her hubby who works in advertising, Jodie now has her own Saturday show on Nova 919. And as you would expect, the mum-of-four, who is also a freelancer for Network 10’s Adelaide newsroom, has an Insta account packed with posts that are as chatty, personable and relatable as her good self.

Texas-born Tracy is a former professional basketball player, who played for Adelaide Lightning in the WNBA. During that stint she met her wife of eight years Erin, who has made a name for herself not only in the sports arena but also in the field of radio with Mix 102.3.

The Queensland-born partner of Adelaide pro racing driver Todd is a woman of many talents. She’s a race driver in her own right and was a Miss Supercars finalist back when it was a thing. A super softball player, she’s part tomboy and part total girly-girl. Making her mark as an Insta influencer promoting skincare and swimwear, Alice also models Todd Hazelwood merchandise. Soon to celebrate her fifth anniversary with Todd – on August 20 – she loves sharing cute couple pics with her followers – including a “Grease is the word” one where she plays Sandy to Todd’s Danny.

One of crickets most stylish and sweetest WAGs, the fiancee of left-handed Travis – who is one of the best batsmen in the biz – is sporting a baby bump. Jess, who has her own business, J’Adore Home, met Travis while they were both studying at Trinity College in Gawler. Her insta account gives insight into their love story. It’s filled with pics of her growing bump, romantic holidays, the couple’s pets, fun times with family and friends – such as weddings and baby showers – and, of course, gorgeous selfies of Jess and her man that can only be described as #couplegoals.

Partner: Nick Percat, Supercars driver

FYI, Baylee’s a professional model – who has been signed with Brazen Models in Melbourne – loving life on the Gold Coast with Adelaide-born Nick. So it’s hardly surprising to see her Insta feed filled with photos and video of herself flaunting her fabulous figure in bikinis and the like. That said, Baylee balances it all out with couple goals shots and images of herself and Nick living it up with friends and getting back to nature. Check out the cute quokka pic.

A lover of high-end brands – she wore a stunning Vera Wang gown when she wed Brent in 2013 – Jamie loves posting pics of her fashion finds and videos of herself unpacking her latest purchase from the likes of luxury e-tailer NET-A-PORTER. A contestant on Australia’s Next Top Model back in the day, Jamie also shares videos of make-up hacks, alongside pics of her home and family life.

Partner: Joe Ingles, NBA basketballer

Yes, she’s a super WAG, but Renae’s also a legendary sports superstar herself, having retired from Super Netball in 2019. She played 67 tests for Australia and was a gold medallist at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. While she was born in NSW, South Australia can claim her – she did play for our Thunderbirds and marry Adelaide-born hubby Joe at Bird in Hand Winery, after all. The mum-of-three – twins Milla and Jacob and Jack – has a huge Insta following where she loves to be Joe’s cheerleader. When he signed a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, she couldn’t resist bragging on Insta that he “was very bucking happy”.
