They’re the charismatic type on the field, and off it complete romantics.

Your favourite NRL players like you have never seen them before, loved up with their partners enjoying all things away from the 100 metres of grass they play on.

From Nathan Cleary’s cross code-long distance partner, to lovers who have built their entire lives together.

Here are the NRL’s hottest couples:

There isn’t much this pair has been able to do without the entire world finding out, Cleary and Fowler top our list of hottest NRL couples, but they are one of the greatest sporting couples too.

Launching in the back end of 2023, the duo have made things work living very separate lives, but when they do come together, no one can get enough of this power couple.

Cleary recently left Las Vegas amid preparations for the Panthers round one clash against the Sharks to visit Fowler for a couple of hours in San Diego.

No one knows what the future holds for both Cleary and Fowler, but one thing is clear, people love the sporting couple.

Married in 2023, but this couple’s roots run a lot deeper than two years.

The Tedesco’s have been the faces of the ideal NRL couple’s since they were first seen together, being regulars on red carpets, fancy events, and of course footy games.

The couple welcomed their first child, Rosie in September 2023, and are now preparing to welcome their second, another girl into the family.

Both James, Maria and Rosie capped off their off-season recently spending a wholesome weekend away at the Crown resort in Sydney.

The little staycation also included visits from former teammate Mitchell Moses and worldwide music superstar DJ Fisher.

One of the newer couples, Knights fan favourite Bradman Best and daughter of boxing royalty Jeff Fenech, Kayla have exploded onto the scene as one of the NRL’s hottest pairing.

In their short time as a couple, the pair have made headlines for glamming up the dating scene and living the high life.

Through Kayla’s Instagram, fans have been treated to an inside look into both personalities’ lives.

Best and Fenech recently took a trip to Bali in the off season, with Kayla buying into the NRL season, becoming a regular at games.

Millie and Adam Elliott:

One of the first NRL-NRLW pairings, the Elliotts have always been fan favourites among rugby league fans, especially when both played for the Knights.

Engaged following Millie’s NRLW grand final win in 2022, it didn’t take long for the couple to get hitched, tying the knot less than a year later.

Millie and Adam are now expecting their first child, with the NRLW star taking the year off to give birth.

She missed the Jillaroos trip to Las Vegas to start the year, but has continued to remain in the spotlight through her job with the media.

Married last year, Mitchell and Bri may have tied the knot last year, but the pair have spent the majority of their adult life together.

Now, married and sharing a little daughter together, it’s safe to say they are all grown up.

The pair had a discrete wedding with details only getting out after the event itself.

Brian and Moesha To’o:

Went viral for an iconic post grand final proposal, now Brian and Moesha are raising a family together, while still being on top of the NRL.

The pair was married two years ago in December, with their wedding being a who’s who of the NRL.

Many would be forgiven for thinking To’o’s groomsmen were the Panthers line-up, featuring Jarome Luai, Stephen Crichton and Spencer Leniu.

The young family recently went to Samoa over the off-season, where they were able to celebrate their culture.

To’o has been a mainstay of the Samoan national team.

Tommy Talau and Jess Sergis:

Sydney Roosters NRLW star Jessica Sergis and Sea Eagles outside back Tommy Talau set tongues wagging last year after dropping hints on social media that they may be dating.

Now Talau has to try and convince Sergis to support Manly when playing her beloved Roosters.

The pair have been very active on social media, showing off their new life together, which has included social events, many days by the beach or pool, and of course footy.

Talau and Sergis both travelled to Bali in the off season for a getaway.

Jarome Luai and Bailey Paris Toleafoa:

The loud and proud Wests Tigers halfback Luai’s care for his teammates off the field has definitely transferred off it in his relationship with longtime partner Bailey Paris Toleafoa.

Engaged on Christmas Day last year, Luai and his “best friend” have three kids Izzy, Akira and Halo.

Despite moving to the Tigers, the pair own a five bedroom home in Penrith, very close to Luai’s old stomping grounds BlueBet Stadium.

The couple that shined through their YouTube vlogs, the Townsends have been in the public eye for quite some time.

The family of six, which has visited their fair share of NRL clubs, have relocated back to Sydney and are looking to wrap up a stellar career back at home.

Marissa is the sister of Penrith second-rower Scott Sorenson.

They were a religious couple who met in church, now married and had a young son. The Kings are one of the most popular couples in the NRL.

Fans have been given glimpses into the life of the Kings through Christy’s social media vlogs which keep all the Bulldogs diehards in the loop with their front rower.

They got married in 2023, and announced their pregnancy after returning from a Dubai and European honeymoon.
