A new photo of Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler spending time together has poured fuel on the fire of an Australian sporting power couple rumour.
The murmurings about the pair first began when the Matildas’ World Cup hero was spotted out and about enjoying a romantic moment with the Penrith Panthers star last month.

The pair have now been seen spending another private moment together in photos exclusively obtained by News Corp.
The photo shows the pair smiling and enjoying each other’s company while walking together along the banks of the Nepean River in western Sydney on August 8 — the day after Australia’s round of 16 win against Denmark at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
The photo shows the pair together two weeks before they got tongues wagging when they were first seen out and about together enjoying an ice cream.
That meeting came after the pair attended a promotional event for Adidas, a sponsor they both share.
The rumours were kick started by the Hello Sport Podcast with fans salivating over the prospect of the immense power couple.
“Real men’s Women’s Weekly vibes. Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler spotted enjoying an ice cream together,” host Tom Birmingham said.
“Now they’re both sponsored by Adidas and they were maybe doing a function. But you have an ice cream with someone, that’s saying something. You may as well be holding hands.”
Fellow host Eddy Simpson said: “Unless they’re doing an ice cream commercial, they’re essentially dating.
Birmingham added: “That’s a smooch basically. It’s the culinary smooch, if you’re sharing an ice cream.”
The rumours come after Cleary’s relationship with pilates instructor Teah Foot came to an end.
Photos of the two out for dinner showed a loved up Cleary.
But it all came crashing down after The Daily Telegraph reported the pair had called time on their romance.
After Teah unfollowed Nathan online, the NRL star posted a reel of photos to Instagram with the caption: “Life goes on”.
The 20-year-old Fowler is fresh off her World Cup heroics where she played a key role in helping Australia make it through to the semi-final stages of the tournament.
Her star is only set to grow after the World Cup. Having already modelled for Adidas alongside Lionel Messi, David Beckham and actor Jenna Ortega, the Aussie is ready to take over further.
She’ll head back to England where she’ll link up with her Women’s Super League team Manchester City ahead of the upcoming season.
Man City will take on West Ham United in their season opener on October 1 at Chigwell Construction Stadium.
