Furious AFLW star Moana Hope hits back at criticism she ‘moved on too quickly’ with beauty queen Maria Thattil – just months after her split from wife Isabella Carlstrom
Moana Hope has hit back at a troll who accused her of ‘moving on too quickly’ with former Miss Australia Maria Thattil, just weeks after her split from wife Isabella Carlstrom.
The AFLW star, 35, and model ended their marriage last May. The couple shares daughter Svea and son Ahi.
An emotionally charged Moana said there are no set rules for when to move on if you break up.
“Can they send me the book on how to get divorced?” Moana said in a video on Instagram.
“Is there an index section in that book that tells you how long you have to wait before being separated from someone before you find happiness?”
She went on to say that the choice to move forward is hers.
“Whether I date one person or multiple people… Whatever decision I make for me is my choice. I don’t have to follow a book,” she said.
The sportswoman added that she was “the happiest she has been in a long time” with Maria and that her mental health has also improved.
“If I decide to date… That’s my choice. “I don’t need anyone to tell me what’s acceptable,” she said.
