In March, Thattil revealed that while she is open about her new romance with Moana, there are some things she prefers to keep private to protect her growing relationship.
The stunning model is dating AFLW star Moana Hope and the pair have been to many red carpet events and seen cuddling on social media.
But she told me Stellar magazine that there is a limit to what she will share with the public.

“Something I’ve learned is the importance of protecting certain parts of your life and keeping something sacred,” she said.
“In this digital world we live in, strangers feel entitled to you; sometimes they can have parasocial relationships where they feel entitled to ask me things.
‘I always think to myself, these people would never walk up to you on the street and just ask you these things to your face. And I feel like I don’t want that unnecessary pressure,” she added.
The couple has been dating for several months after Hope split from her ex-wife, Isabella Carlstrom.
