Aussie sport presenter Grace Hayden and her boyfriend have shown they are not afraid to go public with their romance.

The popular TV host was on Sunday spotted at Noosa beach soaking in the sun and surf alongside her partner, Wilson Statham.

The 23-year-old daughter of cricket legend Matthew Hayden has had a whirlwind 12 months with her broadcasting career on a meteoric rise.

The couple only recently returned from a glamorous European getaway with Hayden describing some of their Italian seaside destinations as “paradise”.

Photos shared with her 260,000 Instagram followers earlier this month showed the loved-up duo enjoying each other’s company at several holiday spots.

Hayden and Statham, who is heir to the Statham family’s cotton production empire, were happy to continue flaunting their affections for each other again when they stepped out at Noosa this weekend.

Photos showed Hayden was not shy to flaunt her famous figure as she stripped down to a two-piece Imana Swim bikini.

With Wilson sporting casual knee-length black swim shorts, the pair packed on the PDA after first splashing about in the Sunshine Coast waves.

The couple have dealt with plenty of relationship hurdles since rumours of their romance first spread in June, 2024.

The couple hard launched their connection in October when they made a rare appearance together on Everest Day at Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse.

Statham’s parents, David and Danielle, own and operate the Sundown Pastoral Company, a family-run, privately-owned cotton and cropping enterprise spanning Queensland and northern NSW.

It has previously been estimated the family’s net worth is around $300m.

Hayden is enjoying some downtime after a turbulent few months covering cricket overseas.

She was in India working with TV giant Star India during the 2025 IPL when the world’s richest T20 tournament was called off as a result of the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan.

Hayden was in Mumbai in May when the tournament was suspended as Aussie cricket players and commentators were left trying to flee the country as tensions rose between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

She has proven herself just as popular with an international audience as she had back at home during her previous appearances on Channel 7’s Test cricket and horse racing coverage.

Her latest project will see her introduced to an emerging cricket audience in the United States.

Grace is hosting Willow’s first original podcast Game on with Grace.

Grace’s bi-weekly series will see Grace host candid conversations with athletes and artists.

“Game On is about pulling back the curtain on the world of sports’ untold stories,” Grace said.

“I grew up in cricket’s front row and have covered its biggest tournaments, but the moments that fascinate me most happen off camera.

“Partnering with Willow allows me to share those raw, funny, and inspiring conversations with athletes, artists, and anyone chasing greatness. I can’t wait to bring these stories to fans each week on the Willow app and wherever they listen to podcasts.”

The first episode of the series centres around her dad’s former teammate, legendary Aussie wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.

In a statement provided to news.com.au, Willow COO Todd Myers said Grace’s knowledge of the game makes her a “uniquely powerful and authentic voice”.

“Launching Willow’s first original series is an important step in expanding how we serve and grow the cricket community,” Myers said.

Grace’s knowledge of the game, combined with a confident on-screen presence, makes her a uniquely powerful and authentic voice as the host of Game On with Grace. This podcast will bring authenticity, energy, and a fresh voice that will resonate with both longtime cricket fans and newcomers alike.”

In January this year she joined digital sport platform Racing X as the new face of the Hong Kong-based international racing content operation.

Her return to Channel 7 for this summer’s Ashes series has not been confirmed but Aussie fans will likely be looking forward so seeing her in action as Australia takes on the Old Enemy.
