Why Nathan Cleary & Mary Fowler’s Aussie reunion is BACK ON despite Matildas star pulling out of her planned visit to Sydney
- Fowler returns to Australia next week
- Star should get the chance to reunite with Cleary
- The pair have not met since early November
Nathan Cleary's Sydney reunion with girlfriend Mary Fowler looks set to go ahead after all, despite the Matildas star pulling out of her planned trip to Sydney next week.
Fowler was scheduled to be one of the centerpieces at the team's fan day at CommBank Stadium in the city's west on Dec. 21, but organizers announced in a statement released Tuesday that she “can no longer attend '.
She and Cleary last saw each other in Perth on November 2 when they said goodbye at the airport, just days after Ny Breaking Australia exclusively revealed their romance in photos of the couple sharing some tender moments in a park.
However, Fowler has been confirmed to attend an event in Melbourne just 24 hours after the fan experience.
Fowler will take center stage at Rise & Shine Kindergarten in Carlton on Wednesday after being announced as the company's new ambassador.
A reunion between the couple is now possible, with Fowler returning to Australia next week
The superstar couple hasn't seen each other since early November
Fowler returned to Britain in November to play for Manchester City, while Cleary soon left Australia to continue his off-season holiday with a visit to the US.
Their fans were hoping Cleary would stay in North America so the couple could reunite when Fowler joined the Matildas for two games against Canada earlier this month.
However, he returned to Australia to prepare for pre-season training with the Penrith Panthers.
On Sunday, Fowler posted a few special selfies showing off a dramatic new look on Instagram.
Wearing a white off-the-shoulder dress, Fowler puckered up for the camera while wearing bold red lipstick.
Cleary — who was quick to like his girlfriend's posts up until that point — still hasn't liked her most recent effort at the time of writing, which is a first for the couple.
Her fans questioned the reasons behind the dramatic new look, which was accompanied by a single red rose emoji.
On November 28, the 20-year-old soccer star raised eyebrows when she posted a cryptic poem referencing life's “terrible moments.”

Famed author LR Knost's piece focused on the challenges people face every day, urging them to “breathe in the amazing” and “breathe out the ordinary” moments of their day.
That message has now been deleted.
Last week, Cleary was left red-faced when asked about Fowler while attending the GQ Awards in Sydney alone.
Asked: 'Where is Mary?' he replied, “I knew this was coming,” as he blushed.
“I'm alone here…no plus one.”
