Matildas superstar Mary Fowler has posted a series of photos from her recent visit to Australia – with one of the photos giving her fans a very candid look into her romance with Nathan Cleary.

The 20-year-old flew into Sydney to be greeted by her NRL star boyfriend on December 19 and was spotted playing a flirty game of footy and going out for dinner with him before flying to Cairns to be with her family over Christmas.

Her latest photos on Instagram were posted on Tuesday with the caption “R&R” and show her relaxing on a beach in the tropics with her dog and enjoying a healthy meal.

From there, however, the location changes to the Gold Coast, where she was spotted enjoying a meal with Cleary and some friends at luxury dining spot Burleigh Pavilion on December 28.

Fowler's new photo, taken from a room in a high-rise hotel on the Glitter Strip, appears to show Cleary hugging her in a reflection captured in a window on the far right of the image.

The last photo in the post shows an almost deserted Tamarama Beach in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

On December 24, the Matildas star showed her Instagram followers a series of photos and videos she took during her trip to see her loved ones in Cairns, Queensland over the festive break.

Fowler took photos and videos as she took in the region's stunning scenery on one of the city's biggest tourist attractions, the Cairns Skyrail, as the waters of Cyclone Jasper raged beneath her.

The trip north to celebrate Christmas with her family came after Fowler had a whirlwind few days in Sydney.

Following her romantic reunion with Cleary at Sydney airport, Fowler opened up about her dream of starting a family of her own as she proved to be a big hit with the youngsters at Rise & Shine Kindergarten in the city's south.

The loved-up couple then looked more in love than ever as they gave each other tips on how to play their respective footy codes during an hour-long training session at an oval near Cleary's home in Penrith.

Both stars looked to the moon to be together and got down to business lovingly as Fowler tested her NRL passing skills and Cleary showed surprising skills with a football.

The stars were recently called Nath-ilda, but the name didn't go down well with fans, with many claiming it was unacceptable because it didn't include Mary Fowler's name.

“This is absolutely the worst possible nickname for couples that they could have come up with. Simply unacceptable IMO,” one Panthers fan wrote on X.

'I think Nathan & Mary should be called Clear Fowl. It also has to do with football,” replied another.

Cleary and Fowler first attracted attention as a potential couple after being spotted together twice following the Women's World Cup.

Initial sightings included a leisurely stroll along the Nepean River in Penrith, where the 25-year-old NRL sensation and the Matildas forward spent quality time together.

They were also observed sharing ice cream after a promotional event organized by Adidas, a brand that both athletes endorse.

The couple publicly debuted their romance in Perth in October, confirming suspicions from previous sightings.
