Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler now have a celebrity couple nickname – and fans are not happy with it: ‘Simply unacceptable’

In the vein of 'Bennifer', 'Brangelina' and 'Kimye', Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler's relationship has its own name – but fans of the Australian power couple aren't exactly impressed.

Australian sport's hottest romance went public in October when Fowler and a shirtless Cleary shared some tender moments in a Perth park – as the Matildas played Olympic qualifiers in the WA capital.

The pair later took separate flights from the city, with Fowler heading to London via Dubai and Cleary returning to Sydney.

The duo were reunited at Sydney Airport last week when Cleary greeted Matildas forward Fowler with a kiss as she returned to Australia for the holidays.

The relationship between the sporting superstars has made headlines across the country and has now been nicknamed 'Nath-ilda'.

Fans of the superstar Aussie couple are not at all happy with the nickname

The name obviously comes from the combination of Cleary's first name and 'ilda', which comes from Fowler playing for the Matildas.

Fans are not at all happy with the new nickname and are complaining on social media.

“This is absolutely the worst possible nickname for couples that they could have come up with. Just unacceptable IMO,” one Panthers fan wrote on X.

'I think Nathan & Mary should be called Clear Fowl. It also has to do with football,” replied another.

'Omg also turns her work into her identity??? I hate it,” said a third.

In recent days, the couple has been spotted showcasing their skills in a friendly football match using balls from both codes.

The glamorous duo are currently based in Penrith in the heart of Panthers, where they ventured to a local oval for an hour-long battle, exchanging friendly taunts and shoves.

There was no entourage, no camera crew and no PR team. No make-up, no special effects and no sponsorship obligations.

They were just two young Aussies in love and enjoying an afternoon at the local park, just like any other young couple.

Cleary, who was the grand final hero for the Penrith Panthers, showed he is no slouch with a round ball either as the pair playfully demonstrated their skills in a loved-up display.

They laughed and giggled and looked completely happy and natural in each other's company.

Cleary couldn't keep his hands off Fowler either, often moving in for a cheeky hug while Fowler was completely relaxed and at ease in the company of her new man.

Surprisingly, there were no spectators on the pitch, giving the duo some much-needed rest after a whirlwind few days in the spotlight.

Fowler, 20, is reportedly enjoying a short stay in Penrith before heading to Cairns with her family for Christmas.
