Wayne Carey, 52, splits with girlfriend Catie O’Neill, 28, just months after going public with the TikTok star
Wayne Carey and Catie O’Neill have ended their relationship.
The AFL legend, 52, and the businesswoman, 28, have split according to the Announce sun on Tuesday.
TikTok star O’Neill “has moved on” according to the publication.
The couple went public with their romance in March this year, after the match was rumored in January.
The pair reportedly met at a local tavern where Carey was hosting an event on Jan. 25.

The scheduled performance was a meet and greet where the footy legend talked to fans and talked about his life.
It also raised money for Outside the Locker Room and Good Bloke Society.
Those in attendance said the newly minted couple looked “happy and in love” at the event.

It was Carey’s first major public appearance since his white powder scandal.
The former North Melbourne player was kicked out of Perth’s Crown casino last September after being caught carrying a zip bag of white powder

Carey was escorted out of the casino on September 1 after a bag fell out of his pocket while gambling.
After all, the zip-lock bag contained anti-inflammatory drugs he took to treat pain from his football career, Carey claimed.

Carey was reportedly slapped with a two-year ban from entering Crown’s premises, quit his Triple M radio show and was barred from attending Channel 7’s Brownlow Medal broadcast.
Carey has had several love interests in the past.
He was previously married to longtime partner Sally McMahon and tied the knot in 2001 after meeting at a party in Wagga Wagga when he had just turned 20 and she was 17.
But the couple’s relationship quickly made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Just a year after tying the knot, the North Melbourne captain was involved in a sordid affair with his former teammate Antony Stevens’ wife, Kelli.

To make matters worse, Stevens was by Carey’s side as groomsman at his wedding.
Carey and Sally managed to mend their relationship and had a daughter, Ella, now 17, before separating in 2006 – just months after her birth.
After their split, Carey began a relationship with model Kate Neilson.

The pair were briefly engaged in 2009, but split shortly after each other amid allegations that Carey was being unfaithful.
He moved on to Stephanie Edwards in 2011 before announcing their engagement four years later.
But it turned out to be another failed romance for the AFL star, with the couple confirming they had split in 2016.

Carey’s manager in 2016, Chris Giannopoulos, confirmed Carey and Stephanie had broken up earlier this year, saying they were “working through their issues”
The couple shares a seven-year-old daughter named Charlotte, who they welcomed in 2014.
Most recently, Carey was linked to Victorian model Jessica Paulke after the pair were spotted cozying up at the Australian Open in January 2018.
Paulke became pregnant the same year and welcomed their first child, Carter Michael Carey in February 2019.
