The Manchester City star and NRL premiership winner have been romantically linked since they were spotted together twice following the Matildas’ World Cup campaign.
They first attracted attention as a potential couple when they were spotted together on a leisurely walk along the Nepean River in Penrith in Sydney’s west.
The pair were then seen sharing an ice cream after a promotional event hosted by Adidas, a brand that both athletes endorse.
Last Sunday, Cleary was photographed with two Matildas fans outside Optus Stadium, moments before the Aussies’ 8-0 win over the Philippines, with Fowler scoring the opening goal.
Matildas supporter Annie Lewin shared Cleary’s photo with the caption ‘stupid for the tillies’, giving the clearest indication to date that there was a romantic link between the pair.
Cleary was previously partying with friends and family in Bali.
On Tuesday, Ny Breaking Australia’s exclusive photos showed the couple enjoying each other’s company and laughing after grabbing a takeaway coffee, with one onlooker describing their interaction as “low-key but cute.”
“There was a man who recognized him and they shook hands and Mary laughed, then they were just laughing and walking very close to each other,” the passerby said.
