Richmond player Nathan Broad celebrates grand final with Love Island star

A Richmond star and Love Island’s Tayla Damir were gushing over each other on social media after the Tigers’ Grand Final win.

Richmond premiership player Nathan Broad and girlfriend Tayla Damir have posted a series of loved-up photos on Instagram after the Tigers Grand Final victory.

Broad and Love Island Australia winner Damir were all over each other as they were finally able to embrace on the football field following the Tigers back-to-back premiership wins.

Damir posted a message of congratulations to Broad alongside an image of them in each other’s arms on the Gabba turf where the Tigers defeated Geelong on Saturday night.

“You are amazing,” she wrote.

Broad was just as affectionate in his own response on Instagram where he posted a photo of him kissing Damir’s cheek.

“What a club, what a girl,” Broad wrote.

In a comment on Damir’s earlier post, he also wrote: “love you so much”.

Broad and Damir, 23, were separated for several moths this year as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria which forced Broad and every Victoria-based player to flee before the NSW border shut earlier this year.

The Tigers were eventually able to settle into an isolation hub in Queensland. Damir and Broad were only reunited in September after the reality TV star served a period of quarantine before entering the AFL’s hub alongside fellow Richmond WAGs and their families.

Broad has been celebrating with his teammates ever since the full-time siren on Saturday night, but the 27-year-old enters an off-season of uncertainty.

Broad is without a contract for the 2021 season and reports emerged last month that rival clubs are circling in the belief that the star defender could be open to a move away from Richmond.
