Who is James Tedesco’s wife Maria Glinellis? Meet the NRL star’s glamorous partner who stole the spotlight at the 2024 Dally M Awards
Sydney Roosters team captain James Tedesco and his wife Maria Glinellis stole the spotlight at the 2024 Dally M Awards in Sydney on Wednesday evening.
The genetically blessed couple are red carpet regulars and often make the best-dressed list thanks to their refined sense of style.
The lovebirds tied the knot in January 2023.
James and Maria, who are believed to be of Greek descent, married in the Hunter Valley at Redleaf Wollombi in a beautiful garden wedding.
Redleaf Wollombi is a luxurious, self-contained house just 3km from the historic town of Wollombi and a short drive to the Hunter Valley wineries.
Taking part in the festivities were Tedesco’s teammates and football friends, including Mitchell Moses, who was his best man.
The couple welcomed their daughter Rosie in September 2023.
Maria’s family are hospitality entrepreneurs and co-own Ironwood Coffee on Sydney’s lower north shore.

Just months before their wedding, James spent $5 million on a sprawling home in Sydney’s Hunters Hill, where the couple is believed to live.
The NSW Blues and Roosters captain bought the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home with his Maria in June 2022, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Located in one of the most desirable North Shore postcodes, the ultra-modern resort style last went under the hammer in 2014 for $3.25 million.
The State of Origin star bought the house at auction after it was put on the market with a price guide of $4.6 million.
