Moana Hope and Miss Australia Maria Tatill have made their romance official on Instagram.

In a post on the social media platform on Sunday, the AFLV star, 35, and the model, 30, shared a sweet kiss.

The black-and-white picture, in which the pair looked completely smitten, came with a caption in which Moana called Maria her ‘safe space’.

“I kissed a girl and she makes me happy,” she wrote, adding the hashtags, #justus #misasafespace #raindrops.

It comes after the athlete hit back at a troll who accused her of ‘moving on too quickly’ with Maria, just weeks after her split from wife Isabella Carlstrom.

The footballer ended their marriage last May. The couple shares a daughter, Svea, and a son, Ahi.

An emotionally charged Moana said there are no hard and fast rules about when to move on when you break up.

‘Can you send me a book on how to separate?’ Moana said in an Instagram video.

“Is there an index section in that book that says how long you have to wait to break up with someone before you find happiness?”

She went on to say that the choice to move on was hers.

“Whether I’m dating one person or multiple people… Whatever decision I make for myself, it’s my choice.” “I don’t have to follow a book,” she said.

The athlete added that she is “the happiest she’s been in a long time” with Maria and that her mental health has also improved.

‘If I decide to go out… It’s my choice. “I don’t need anyone to tell me what is acceptable,” she said.
