Wallabies superstar and rugby’s $5m man Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii confirms relationship with netballer

Rugby’s $5 million man Joseph-Aukuso Sualii is off the market, confirming his relationship with a netballer after going Insta Official on Thursday evening.

Rugby’s $5 million man Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii is officially off the market.

With the British and Irish Lions tour around the corner, the Waratahs and Wallabies star has confirmed he is in a relationship with netballer Audrey Little.

As is the way of the new generation, Suaalii went Insta Official with Little on Thursday evening to confirm their union, weeks after mentioning to reporters how his “partner” had helped with his recovery from a broken jaw.

Suaalii posted pictures of himself with Little at a netball game, and her at home on the couch.

Little is a rising netball star who recently signed with the Giants, defecting from rivals NSW Swifts.

A Manly-Warringah junior, Little is described as an agile centre court player with a “strong work ethic and a great engine”.

Little is also the daughter of Wallabies great Jason Little, who played at three World Cups, winning two, but never played against the Lions.

Suaalii, who lives alone in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, keeps his private life very quiet, so this is a major development.

The 21-year-old is in Wallabies camp in Newcastle, preparing to take on the British & Irish Lions in coming weeks.

Last year, Suaalii signed the biggest contract in Australian rugby for $5.35 million over three years, leaving NRL club Sydney Roosters to become the poster boy of the Wallabies.
