Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler have seemingly put an end to speculation that their relationship may be on the rocks, as a heartwarming picture of the couple was shared online.
Rumours have been rife that their relationship isn't all sunshine and rainbows after Fowler jetted back home to Australia to spend some time with her friends and family.

But as she touched down, Cleary – who routinely meets her at the airport – was nowhere to be seen.
The pair have also stopped sharing pictures of one another, adding fuel to the fire that they may have quietly ended things.
Cleary has also not liked any of Fowler's posts since June 6.
However, Fowler – who continues her rehab for an ACL injury she picked up earlier this year – has since spent several days with Cleary, easing fears of any relationship unrest.
And now all break-up rumours have been seemingly put to bed after a picture of them and a Panthers fan emerged online.
The image shared on the Ability Hub Services Instagram account showed the couple smiling as they posed for a picture with the fan, donning a Panthers kit.
The pair have also been spotted out taking coastal walks.
During her time Down Under, Fowler also headed up north, where she spent some time with her family, which she shared on her Instagram account.
While Cleary has been absent from the Matildas superstar's social media, the Manchester City star has kept fans up to date on her knee rehabilitation, posting pictures and short videos of herself in the gym and of the scar on her knee.
The 22-year-old is expected to return to action at the start of 2026, but is racing the clock to prove her fitness before the Asian Cup next year.
However, in May, she spoke about the rehabilitation progress going well, as she revealed it hadn't upset her as much as she expected.
'Obviously, I enjoy playing football, but I wouldn't say it's my passion,' Fowler said on the Keegan and Company podcast.
'I play it because there are a lot of things I enjoy about it – I really enjoy travelling, being with my teammates, the people that I've met through football, but if I finished it tomorrow, I probably wouldn't have any regrets.
'I think there are other things outside of football I am more passionate about. Getting injured … in my head I pull myself up at times like 'am I supposed to feel more s**t about this, about what's happened'.
