Qantas love triangle: The embarrassing photo that proves the couple are back together – as tradie who cheated on flight attendant with her ‘BFF’ is caught with his pants down

EXCLUSIVE

The on-again-off-again couple at the center of the Qantas love triangle are now back together after a previous love feud turned violent, Daily Mail Australia can reveal.

Stewardess Arabella Lansdown, 24, has rekindled her relationship with her tradie ex Jackson Martin, after slapping airline colleague Paula Graham when she found out the pair had slept together behind her back.

However, it is believed that Lansdown is giving it another try with her husband. The couple spent the day running errands in Ipswich, in Brisbane’s western suburbs.

Mr Martin emerged from Lansdown’s home in Redland Plains on Monday afternoon wearing nothing but a pair of red Calvin Klein briefs as he took a phone call.

Later, the pair felt comfortable in each other’s company when they visited Zarraffa’s nearby coffee shop, followed by a trip to McDonald’s and a leisurely drive to Town Square shopping center.

A source close to the couple confirmed that the couple has had a turbulent relationship since they started dating in 2021.

“It doesn’t shock me to see them being a couple again, they’ve always had a toxic relationship that has been on and off for years,” the insider said.

Lansdown was in court in Brisbane last week after pleading guilty to punching her former colleague when she found out she had slept with her then ex-partner, Mr Martin.

Both women worked as flight attendants for Qantas and Lansdown considered her victim a close ‘confidante’, while the pair were reportedly ‘BFFs’ outside of work.

The one-punch attack broke Ms Graham’s cheekbone, upper jaw and eye socket.

Ms Graham, who no longer works for the airline, had to undergo surgery to have titanium plates and screws placed in her face.

The court was told Lansdown confronted Ms Graham at her home after finding out she had slept with Mr Martin.

Despite initial denials, the woman admitted to the sexual relationship and apologized.

In her victim impact statement, Ms Graham said she continued to suffer from persistent numbness and psychological problems after the attack.

But Judge Loury noted that the same woman wished Lansdown no harm and asked the court not to impose a harsh sentence.

“She writes: ‘May this (victim impact statement) together with your own stress be punishment enough,’ Judge Loury said.

Lawyer Martin Longhurst argued that the injuries in this case were ‘borderline’ of assault causing actual bodily harm.

“I don’t think they’re borderline, I don’t think you can say that,” Judge Loury told Mr Longhurst.

‘This woman had to undergo surgery to repair these injuries… they are significant injuries, it is significant that one blow caused the injuries.

“She is responsible for the injuries whether she meant it or not.”

Lansdown pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a single charge of grievous bodily harm.

The court was told Lansdown was ‘well regarded’ by her colleagues, who said her actions were ‘completely out of character’.

Mr Longhurst said his client had started an Indigenous internship with Qantas in high school and worked as a flight attendant for five years.

He told the court that Lansdown risked losing her job as a flight attendant if convicted because she would not be issued an Aviation Security Investment Card required for domestic travel as part of her job.

Qantas had retained Lansdown’s employment and she could still work for the airline, just not on planes, the court was told.

Mr Longhurst said Lansdown had experienced prejudice during her childhood and had visited a psychologist about “difficulties” in coming to terms with the end of the relationship with her ex-partner.

His client had also offered compensation and written a letter of regret to the court.

Judge Loury ultimately gave the 24-year-old an 18-month prison sentence, but suspended it for two years.

Lansdown was also ordered to pay $2,000 in compensation to Ms Graham within four months.
