Geelong star Gary Rohan has split from his wife Amie, who has issued an impassioned plea for people to believe in themselves despite the “actions of another”.
The social-media influencer has since received a groundswell of support from women including sports presenter Erin Molan and Abby Gilmore.
The young mum this week shared a post encouraging people to “be strong in who you are” and not “let the actions of another convince you that you are not good enough as you are”.
She is living at the family’s Bellarine coastal home with their seven-month-old baby Sadie Rose and young daughter Bella.
It’s understood the couple separated with Gary moving with Geelong Football Club to the AFL’s Gold Coast hub to play out the 2020 season.
Rumours swirled of a “cat fight” within the hub – the one about Tom Hawkins confronting Rohan about his behaviour – and it didn’t take long for the whispers to ripple across the wider AFL circle.
The tight-knit group of Geelong’s significant others were also said to be sharpening their claws over Rohan’s subsequent relationship with a Cats’ staffer.
Despite the growing tensions, Geelong was intent on reaching the Grand Final it later lost against Richmond and the cat stayed in the bag.
But this week Amie Rohan, who has more than 35,000 followers on social media, posted an inspiring quote to others, telling them to believe in themselves.
“Please be strong in who you are and please don’t let the actions of another convince you that you are not good enough as you are,” she posted.
While social media is often seen as a place of vitriol and trolling, it has proved to be a platform of support for many WAGs who lean in on their tribe of followers in times of need.
It’s understood Rohan has a strong support network where she is living on Victoria’s Surf Coast. She did not travel to the Gold Coast player hub in late July with the rest of the Geelong families, instead staying in Victoria to look after her young children.
In 2018, the couple were heartbroken when their daughter Willow, a twin to daughter Bella, died from the rare birth condition anencephaly.
The couple announced the birth of their daughter Sadie Rose on social media in March this year.
