AFL star Sam Durham and Australian fashion model Paris Bishop have gone Instagram official as they shared photos of themselves on social media for the first time.
The couple took a big step in their romance on Tuesday, with Bishop posting a series of images of them along with a heart and drink emoji caption.
Some of Durham’s Essendon teammates and their partners also appear in the social media post, including Archie Perkins and Nick Bryan.
The Bombers star and Bishop made their public debut together last month when they stepped out in Melbourne to attend a film premiere.

Durham later confirmed his relationship with the Melbourne model in a statement.
“We’re still pretty fresh, but we’ve been seeing each other for a while,” he told the station Herald Sun.
Both are active in Melbourne’s social scene and regularly post eye-catching clips on social media of themselves having the time of their lives while out in the city with friends.
The footy star doesn’t post much on social media and recently admitted it’s not really his thing.
“I’m not really good at social media, she’s all about it,” he said The age.
‘We don’t really read into it [the publicity]we just stay on our own path.’
Born and raised in the regional Victorian town of Seymour, Durham was called up by The Bombers for the 2021 season.
He recently signed a five-year contract with the team, which will see him play for them until at least the end of 2028.
Meanwhile, Bishop is signed to the exclusive Chadwick Models and regularly posts paid promotions for various brands on her social media.

The Essendon star recently told the AFL website that he has benefited from growing up in the country.
“Growing up in a country town, country boys are a little tougher than city boys,” he said.
‘I’ve had some difficult mentors in my life and you don’t really shy away from that.
‘It has always been the case that if you go hard, you will be right.’
Second-placed Essendon will take on the Gold Coast at the People First Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
