Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary enjoyed a festive road trip to Cairns with the Manchester City star’s family.

The duo, who recently went on a romantic getaway in Europe, have both returned to Australia to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve with their families.

Cleary, who guided Penrith to their fourth successive premiership last season, also recently underwent surgery on a troublesome shoulder injury and was seen without his armband as he and Fowler and several family members took a walk through a wooded area.

Among the group were Fowler’s brother Seamus and her sisters Ciara and Louise, as well as their mother Nido.

Ciara also plays professional football, having represented the Republic of Ireland at age level, while also playing for Adelaide United.

The group was also seen relaxing by a forest creek, while Cleary stopped to pose for a moment next to the river.

Fowler also posted photos of her family, Cleary and a group of friends celebrating the new year on her Instagram Story, writing, “Happy New Year.”

She captioned the Instagram post: “Cairns with the crew.”

Cleary and Fowler were also pictured stopping at the iconic Big Mango during their road trip to Far North Queensland.

The couple takes every opportunity to spend time together in between their busy schedules.

In December, the sporty power couple enjoyed a quiet trip to Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast, where they watched the sun set over Tallebudgera Creek.

Fowler is currently on winter break and City will return to WSL action against Ipswich on January 12.

Cleary has yet to return to pre-season training as he recovers from shoulder surgery and expects a three-to-four month layoff.

“The recovery will take about three to four months, so so far it’s been good,” he said.

Fowler posted two photos of her and Cleary posing with friends and family and wrote,

“I’m slowly checking off the boxes, and after Christmas it will increase again,” Cleary said.

“I’m a little ahead of schedule, which is cool.”

Earlier this summer, Fowler and Cleary were spotted at Old Trafford as they watched Wigan Warriors beat Hull KR in the Super League Grand Final.

They were later seen exploring Manchester and several coastal towns in Britain before heading to Mallorca.

Cleary also featured in Switzerland when Fowler traveled to take on the Matildas against the Swiss national team in Zurich.

Fowler has had a great start to the 2024/25 season, scoring two goals in her last four games for Man City.
