Former AFLW star Moana Hope, Maria Thattil appear to confirm blossoming romance

Star duo Moana Hope and Maria Thattil have continued to fuel rumours of a new romance, taking to social media to share a cosy image of the pair cuddled up.

Moana Hope and Maria Thattil appear to have confirmed their blossoming romance.

The former AFLW star and former Miss Universe Australia have set tongues wagging over recent weeks with their cosy social media activity.

They were first spotted looking close on a night out in Melbourne last month and have only kept the speculation simmering with the latest display of affection posted by Hope on Saturday night while watching the Matildas play against Sweden.

Hope split from wife Isabella Carlstrom, with whom she shares two children, earlier this year with confirmation of the amicable separation in May.

“It’s with a heavy heart that Mo and I have decided to separate,’’ Carlstrom posted to Instagram.

“We will continue to raise our beautiful kids together as we consciously uncouple. We appreciate all the love and support over the years, thank you.”

Thattil split from her TikTok star girlfriend Jorgia O’Hare in June after a “wonderful” year together.

She was tight-lipped about her private life when she stepped out Friday night for the Myer Precious Metal Gala at Crown.

Last week she posted a picture with a group of friends to her Instagram stories and was sitting in Hope’s lap on the couch, only fuelling the rumour mill.

Neither has commented yet on their new-found relationship.
