Footy star Charlie Coomben finally comes clean about his romance with his ex-teammate's SISTER Liv Taylor after keeping it a secret
The Kangaroos ruck has revealed that his new partner is glamourous Pilates instructor Liv Taylor, who is the sister of former North Melbourne star Curtis Taylor.
The couple have been dating for about five months, but apart from a couple of sneaky snaps on Taylor's Instagram, they have never made it social media official.
Coomben has previously admitted to dating Taylor on his 200 Plus podcast, but did reveal names or any other details.
'I've found myself a lovely girlfriend … I don't have to validate my relationship in the eyes of other people,' Comben said at the time.
But he was boxed into a corner on Nova radio's Jase & Lauren show last week, where the Kangaroos big man was forced to reveal all.
Coomben had appeared on Jase & Lauren previously, but Lauren had been away that day. So they brought him back - where he got more than he bargained for.
'These two [Jason and sports journalist Clint Stanaway] have not stopped raving about you since you were last on our show,' Lauren said.
'Did you have as much fun with them as they had with you?'
'It was good fun, it was a little bit of a stitch up,' Coomben replied.
'I had to do a shout out to my beautiful girlfriend Liv with the beautiful hair.'
Lauren then revealed they had the audio of the previous time he had been on the show.
'What do you love about her Charlie?' Jason asked.
'Shout out to Liv, I love her hair, eyes, beautiful personality,' Coomben replied.
'What's her hair like?' Jason asked.
'It's brunette, nice, brown, long, it's great,' Coomben said awkwardly while laughing.
Lauren said: 'Any woman would love to hear their partner talk about them like that.'
'I'm glad,' Coomben said.
'It got me some brownie points, it really did.'
Coomben then revealed she was actually at the studio, but he left her waiting out in the car.
'You left her in the car?' shocked host Jason asked.
'I want to bring her in, I still haven't posted anything yet [to Instagram],' Coomben said. 'I'm going to get around to it.'
Jason asked: 'Oh she's not on the [Instagram] grid yet? Can we bring her in?'
Taylor was then brought in to face the music and do a hard launch of their relationship.
'We've been together about five months,' Coomben said as his girlfriend made her way from the car into the studio.
'It's all going really well and we're really happy.'
Clint and Coomben then proceeded to talk football while they were waiting for Taylor to arrive in the studio.
The North Melbourne star even entertained the listeners with an acoustic guitar cover of a Tears for Fears classic. And then Liv arrived in the studio to raucous applause.
'Do you want to kill your boyfriend right now?' Lauren joked.
'I was actually at a cafe around the corner and I just got [the show] on in time, and I was like 'he's not, is he?',' Liv said. 'I already got stitched up the last time he came on, with a love letter.'
They all pointed out that Coomben was right, she did have lovely hair.
'The amount of text messages I got after that, all I got from that was I have nice eyes and long hair,' she laughed.
Liv said not being 'Instagram official' had not phased her.
'Everyone else keeps getting stuck into me about it, especially [Essendon star] Sam Draper on the podcast,' she said.
She was then asked to dig up the dirt on her AFL star boyfriend.
'Charlie's personality, he gets quite obsessive with things,' she said.
'So at the minute it's hiking. So every single night he sits there and watches YouTube and just watches videos on this Russell Coight type person.
'I think at the minute he's got three different sleeping bags, a light one, a medium one and a heavy one.
'So Charlie is the definition of all the gear, no idea.'

I cheated on lovely boyfriend with handsome guy on holiday after drunken game of spin the bottle… should I be honest?
DEAR DEIDRE: A DRUNKEN game of spin the bottle got out of hand and now I'm eaten up with guilt for cheating on my lovely boyfriend. Worse still, all my family know what I got up to. I'm a 21-year-old woman and went on holiday to Cyprus with my cousin and her family. While we were there I met her best male friend, who was also on holiday. He is 24 and I fancied him when I'd met him before — and he was just as gorgeous as ever. Thoughts of my boyfriend quickly melted into the background. After a beach day, we all had a night out drinking cocktails, then headed back to our villa. Soon after the parents had gone to bed, we all started playing drinking games. As a dare I ended up sharing a kiss with him, but nothing more. The next day he came over for dinner. When he arrived, he winked and smiled at me, and I just smiled back, although my heart was racing. We had another fun night but this time we played spin the bottle and the forfeits became more sexual. When the bottle spun round to me and then him, he led me by the hand to my bedroom where we had the most amazing sex. Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it The next morning I felt terrible. We left that day and when we landed back in the UK, I felt terrible. All I could think about was my boyfriend, who is 23. He trusts me even though he has been hurt in previous relationships. If I tell my boyfriend what happened I know I risk him ending our relationship. My cousin's best friend has definitely got feelings for me. I keep wondering whether it would work if we got into a relationship. DEIDRE SAYS: You may want to clear your conscience by confessing to everything, but you would hurt him enormously and possibly cause the break-up of your relationship. Be honest with yourself, would you realistically share more than great sex with your cousin's friend? He may just have been enjoying a fun holiday fling. You have to make up your mind. If you have doubts about your boyfriend then do the honest thing and explain that your heart isn't in the relationship any longer. Then leave a month or so for the dust to settle before even thinking about getting together with the new guy. My support pack, Torn Between Two Men, will help you to think this through. SO NERVOUS SINCE SON'S BIRTH DEAR DEIDRE: MY son's birth eight months ago has turned me into a nervous wreck. I love him dearly and I am so proud of him, but I worry all the time. I'm 27 and my partner's 25. We've been together for four years. Ever since my partner found out she was pregnant I started to worry. I became very protective of her and worried when she went out by herself in case something happened to her such as tripping over or someone accidentally bumping into her. My partner breezed through her pregnancy and had a relatively easy birth but ever since our son came along I can't help but think about the worst case scenario. The worst is if he cries for no reason. Thankfully my partner is coping much better than me and doesn't worry like I do. I'm a big bag of nerves most of the time. DEIDRE SAYS: Becoming a dad for the first time can produce a whole range of emotions but it is important to be kind to yourself. It is understandable that you are anxious but being a parent doesn't come easily to anyone. Remember that babies cry because it is the only way they can communicate. Once your son learns to talk, he can tell you why he is unhappy. Talking to other dads who have been through similar worries may help you. Visit the website My support pack Help For Stress has lots of advice. I CAN ONLY HAVE SEX ONCE DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER having sex, I can't get another erection for a good few hours. Is there something wrong? I am 28 and my wife is 25. We only married four months ago and we're in our honeymoon period, but I have to wait a long time to get aroused again. We have a very active sex life now but for cultural and religious reasons we didn't have sex before marriage. I love my wife dearly and want to please her sexually every time. Everything is fine the first time round, and even though I still feel turned on, my erection just doesn't show. It is embarrassing. I can't help wondering if my wife is becoming disappointed when I can't perform for a second time, even though she hasn't mentioned anything so far. This is not what I thought or imagined our sex life would be like once we were married. What is wrong with me? DEIDRE SAYS: Please don't worry about only being able to have sex once with your wife. There is always a space of time after a man climaxes before he's able to get another erection. It's called the refractory period, and it differs for everyone. You may even notice that your individual refractory period varies from session to session. If you are worried about how long it takes you to reach or recover from orgasm, talk to your doctor who will be able to reassure you. EMOTIONAL AFFAIR WILL DISTRESS WIFE DEAR DEIDRE: IF it wasn't for the fact that we have a big family holiday coming up soon, I would have told my wife I have met someone else. Instead, I have to wait until the end of the summer. I am 37 and my wife is 35. We have been married for nine years and have a four-year-old son. I don't feel the same about my wife any more. She suffers from depression, which hasn't helped our relationship. She can't help being unwell so there is no blame. She is receiving help through her doctor for her mental health. I have never cheated on my wife, but I have met another woman through work. It's an emotional affair as I'd never cheat while married, so all we do is talk. But I enjoy her company and see a future with her, and she says she feels the same way about me. I am going to give my son the holiday he deserves and then I will tell my wife our marriage is over. I know it will be distressing for her, but I can't go on living a lie. She deserves better than that. Is it wrong to want to be happy even though in the process I will upset the two people who mean the most to me? I don't feel I have a choice if I want a shot at happiness. DEIDRE SAYS: Depression is a mental health disorder that can have lasting effects on any relationship. Before you end your marriage, make sure it will be the right thing for both of you – and stick to your resolve. Your wife will understandably be devastated so you must tread carefully, ending it as kindly as you can with minimum damage to your son. Ask her to come for counselling with you because while it may not be possible to save your relationship it can reduce the pain. Contact Tavistock Relationships ( 020 7380 1975). My support pack Ending A Relationship will help too.

The shock secret soapie flings you DID NOT know about - including 'hours of passion' between Heath Ledger and Kate Ritchie
The Aussie TV industry may be small, but it's had its fair share of romantic interludes over the years. Yes, Neighbours' Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got their airtime in the pages, as did her sister Dannii Minogue and the late Julian McMahon after sparks flew in Home and Away. But what about the rest? Turns out, there is an underground archive of soap stars that slipped into the sheets together and slipped off the tabloid radar without anyone noticing. From Neighbours actors that got too neighbourly to Home and Away stars that couldn't leave their feelings in Summer Bay, the TV circuit proves to be a hotbed of hedonism. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Heath Ledger and Kate Ritchie (Home and Away) It seems Heath Ledger and Kate Ritchie's on-screen romance spilled into reality after the Gold Logie winner made a telling comment about her time acting alongside the late star. Heath, who played bad boy Scott Irwin, and Kate, who played Sally Fletcher, were love interests on the show, both being around 17 at the time. In 2018, Kate sat down for an interview to celebrate 30 years of the hit soap and shed light on her relationship with the Hollywood star. 'Heath was very good looking, very charming,' she said in the trailer. 'There were a few hours of teenage passion.' While the pair never confirmed a relationship or tryst of any kind, Kate did go on to say that she was 'the envy of all the girls on set' as she got to lock lips with hunky Heath multiple times on the show. Tragically, Heath was found dead at a New York City apartment on January 22, 2008, after an accidental overdose, following months of physical and emotional exhaustion. Axle Whitehead and Samara Weaving (Home and Away) Life imitated art for Axle Whitehead and Samara Weaving, who announced their relationship while their fictional romance blossomed on screens. Axle, who played Liam Murphy, and Samara, who played Indi Walker, reportedly dated briefly in July 2012. However, the alliance was over quicker than it started, with both the stars spotted cuddling up with other people in August that year. Axle was snapped with a beautiful brunette at a Surry Hills bar and Samara was seen getting close to her new man in Sydney's inner west, according to Nine Honey. The split appeared sugary sweet, with Axle claiming that they remained good friends with a lot of respect for each other. Samara soon turned her sights to Hollywood, starring in blockbusters Ready or Not, Babylon and Borderline. Axle, on the other hand, spends his time playing music gigs at small venues across Sydney and selling his used music equipment on Instagram. Lincoln Lewis and Indiana Evans (Home and Away) Did you know that Lincoln Lewis and Indiana Evans were an item? These Home and Away lovebirds also enjoyed a brief stint of dating, but called a time out on their romance in 2008 after just a few months together. However, their short-lived romance became the talk of the town in 2009 after Lincoln confessed that he had filmed a sex tape the year prior and showed it to his castmates. At the time, The Daily Telegraph reported that the clip featured a 'teenage TV starlet'. Daily Mail is not suggesting that Indiana was involved in the alleged scandal. 'You do stupid things when you are young,' he told the publication in 2010. 'But you learn from your mistakes, that's part of growing up — this mistake, and what I have learnt, will contribute a lot to making me a better person in the future.' Stefan Dennis and Gayle Blakeney (Neighbours) Before Stefan Dennis and Gail Easdale lived happily ever after, there was a Gayle of another kind on the scene - and the screen. Gayle Blakeney, who played Christina Alessi on the show, dated the longtime Neighbours star between 1990 and 1992. And while their characters wed on the show, the pair didn't make it to the altar in real-life, instead parting amicably and Stefan moving on to another Neighbours castmate... Stefan Dennis and Natalie Imbruglia (Neighbours) It seems Stefan was quite the fan of the Neighbours watering hole, for pretty quickly he was embroiled in a secret romance with another one of his co-stars Natalie Imbruglia. Natalie, who went on to enjoy a successful music career with hits such as Torn and Big Mistake, first appeared on the beloved soapie in 1992 as Beth Brennan. Stefan revealed that the pair struck up a relationship after sparks flew on set, leading to his reputation among the cast as a ladies' man. 'Because of my relationship with Gayle and later, in a well-kept secret, I was also going out with Natalie Imbruglia, there was a rumour that I was making my way through the female cast,' he told Stellar in 2022. The revelation was a shock, not only because it slid under the tabloids' radar, but because Stefan was 17 years her senior. Beau Brady and Bec Hewitt (Home and Away) Bec Hewitt (Cartwright at the time) and Beau Brady's relationship was widely covered at the time, but the early noughties romance may have slipped your minds since it came crumbling down twenty years ago. The couple, taking their on-screen relationship off-screen, dated for four years and were hailed as Australia's soapie sweethearts. Beau even proposed, with the couple enjoying a few months engaged before Bec called off it off in 2004 and broke hearts across the country. In the ultimate plot twist, Bec moved into WAG territory the following year, dating tennis star Lleyton Hewitt for six weeks before getting engaged in 2005 and then married. The pair have now been playing the tennis game that is marriage for 20 years. Speaking with Woman's Day magazine in 2010, Beau broke his silence on their split and also made some shock claims about the fallout of their relationship. 'I'm only speculating, but in the end I'm still not really sure why Bec broke it off. Maybe it was because I didn't own a Ferrari!' he told the mag. Beau also claimed that Bec started texting and calling Lleyton while they were together and that she disappeared for more than a week before dumping him. 'I thought there was nothing to it because - let's face it - I'm a much better looking dude than Lleyton,' he added. Sigh... There's nothing worse than when your former tennis partner starts calling fouls.

EXCLUSIVE Fears for another Channel Ten star after network swung the axe on fellow six-figure hosts Jonathan LaPaglia and Rodger Corser
There are fears for Beau Ryan inside Channel Ten after executives swung the axe on his Top Gear co-host Jonathan LaPaglia and shelved the series. The longtime The Amazing Race Australia host, 40, stepped away from his Triple M Sydney radio show in March to film the upcoming 'Celebrity Edition' season. Beau has hosted the show since it premiered on Ten in 2019, five years after Channel Seven cancelled the series. 'There's genuine concern for the former NRL player-turned-TV presenter who has made a steady income out of hosting the competition-based reality series that sees him flown all around the world,' a well-placed source tells Daily Mail Australia. 'Beau's got the support of his mates – JLP and Rodger Corser are both rooting for him, but no one feels safe at Network Ten right now.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In a 2021 interview on The Kyle & Jackie O Show, the former league star revealed he was paid $800,000 to host Amazing Race. 'When you are getting paid for something, you look at the hours. How long are we working here,' he explained. Kyle Sandilands asked: 'Is that what you do? Do you look at that with The Amazing Race and consider how long [you're away for]?' 'Yeah,' Beau said. '[I was away] for two to three months and I got paid $800,000.' With veteran hosts Jonathan LaPaglia and Rodger Corser both axed in quick succession, Beau's friends are concerned he could be next. Rodger was quietly 'let go' from Ten after quirky reality show The Traitors was cancelled at the end of 2024. The Doctor Doctor and Underbelly star, 52, is now hosting Channel Nine's hugely successful game show, The Floor. Insiders say these cloak-and-dagger firings are more about bean counting than a routine changing of the guard for 'fresher faces'. Network Ten reportedly didn't take well to the increased salary demands floated by some agents and management of their stars earlier this year, with insiders suggesting those negotiations backfired. While Robert Irwin's co-hosting gig on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! has been a success, his price tag will reportedly triple by the time contracts are back up for negotiation— making decision-makers think twice. 'Management is trimming budgets back by letting go of high-priced talent,' one source told Daily Mail Australia. 'This is a network being told to tighten the purse strings. They're not just replacing people for the sake of it. They're being strategic. It's about value, longevity and connecting with younger viewers.' But Beau was in high spirits when he spoke to Daily Mail Australia about the future of The Amazing Race this week. 'Celebrity Edition is an incredible series filmed in some of the most epic locations,' he said. 'We have a great line-up of teams. 'Also, a location that is a first for The Amazing Race franchise history. It's next level.' The father-of-two added: 'It's always tough to leave my family for filming.' 'It was tough to leave the guys at Triple M for the five weeks. I love the show, the listeners, and the team. 'Hopefully, the next season of Amazing Race films in the [radio] survey break so I don't miss much time on-air.' 'That's something the guys at Triple M and Paramount help me juggle. They know Amazing Race Australia is a show that's been a part of my life and schedule for the last six years.' However, conversations around The Amazing Race's future have reportedly become more urgent. While Beau remains a popular on-screen presence, the show's ratings haven't matched its production spend in recent years. As one veteran producer said: 'It's not about who's best anymore. It's about who's best for budget and branding.' Meanwhile, Top Gear is still up in the air with Ten's streaming partner Paramount+. 'There were talks [season two filming] could be the end of this year,' Beau revealed. 'But it is such a big show with plenty of planning so now it looks like it will be 2026 or 2027. We will have to wait and see.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Channel Ten for comment. The latest news inside Ten comes after Jonathan LaPaglia confirmed he lost his hosting gig on Australian Survivor last month. The 55-year-old, who has fronted the hit show since 2016, will make his final appearance on the upcoming season, Australia V The World, set to air later this year. In a lengthy Instagram post, Jonathan said he was shocked by Channel Ten's decision to let him go. 'I have no doubts Jonathan will be in another hosting gig whenever he is ready,' Beau told Daily Mail Australia. 'He is an incredible talent and you can see by the overwhelming support how loved he is.' The former league star confirmed he called JLP as soon as he heard the news. 'I did speak to him as he is a great man and close friend. He knows I am always here for him, as he is for me.' 'We are thrilled to have Beau Ryan as Network 10 talent,' a spokesperson for Network 10 told Daily Mail Australia. 'As per every year, announcements regarding our future content slate will be revealed at our Upfront, so stay tuned to hear more about the return of our... epic reality formats for 2026.'
