Fresh twist in Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler ‘break-up' speculation as couple's beautiful act comes to light

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.

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'.

Gwyneth Paltrow becomes Astronomer 'spokesperson' after Coldplay concert saga

Tech company Astronomer has poked fun at its recent Coldplay concert scandal by hiring band frontman Chris Martin's ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, as a "temporary spokesperson". The company made headlines last week when its married CEO, Andy Byron, and HR chief, Kristin Cabot, were captured together on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert. Martin was heard saying: "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." Both of them later resigned from their positions at Astronomer and the fallout made global headlines and led to a string of internet memes. Now, the company appears to be using its newfound internet fame as a promotional tool. A company video captioned "thankyou for your interest in Astronomer" opens with actor Paltrow saying: "Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones." A title on the screen reads: "OMG what the actual F." "Unifying the experience of running data, ML and AI pipelines at scale," she answers. "We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data automation. As for the other questions we've received — yes! There's still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September. Paltrow then goes on to talk about the company and its upcoming events. "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer." Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York. It provides companies with a platform that helps them organise their data. Before Ms Cabot and Mr Byron resigned, the company posted a statement on its LinkedIn and X accounts saying it would conduct a formal investigation into the pair's actions. "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," it said. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. "The board of directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly. "[Astronomer senior director, people] Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video. "Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect." The company did not mention the Coldplay concert in its statement. It instead referred to an "event" and used careful, vague wording like "this matter". Now, it appears the company has embraced the reason for its sudden fame and, perhaps in an intentional move, picked Paltrow because she is Martin's ex-wife.

Royal face set to begin studies at University of Sydney

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway has touched down in Australia to begin a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney. The 21-year-old future queen of Norway shared her excitement about becoming a student, posting on Instagram that she is 'looking forward to starting my studies'. Her decision to study in Australia comes during a challenging year for the Norwegian royal family, following charges of rape and sexual assault against her half-brother, Marius Borg Høiby, which he has denied. Despite the family turmoil, the Princess appeared cheerful as she visited the university campus and shared a smiling photo on social media. Ranked second in line to Norway's throne behind her father, Crown Prince Haakon, the Princess also appeared in a photo posing next to the Sydney Opera House. Along with other new photos around the university grounds, the Norwegian royal family's full statement from the young royal read: 'I'm looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney. 'It will be exciting to become a student, and I'm looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics. 'I'm sure that I will learn a lot.' The royal will undertake a Bachelor of Arts degree starting in August. She will live at the university's campus in Camperdown, 4km southwest of the CBD. The Gen Z royal looked chic in a classy yet casual fit, which included baggy blue jeans, a navy jumper and white sneakers. She paired the look with a black cross-body bag, her hair down and dainty gold hoop earrings. Born in 2004, Princess Ingrid has mostly stayed out of the spotlight, attending local schools in Oslo and finishing her upper secondary education in 2023. She is the granddaughter of Norway's current monarch, 88-year-old King Harald V. She made history as the first female heir to the Norwegian throne. The Princess plans to step back from official appearances while continuing her studies in Australia. The royal isn't the first to study down under. Recently, Danish Count Nikolai of Monpezat attended the University of Technology, Sydney. King Charles, at age 17, famously spent two terms at Geelong Grammar in Victoria. Marius Borg Høiby, Princess Ingrid's older half-brother, 28, is currently facing multiple charges, including rape, sexual assault and bodily harm. The charges came after months of investigation into a case police say involves a 'double-digit' number of alleged victims. The charges included one case of rape involving intercourse, two cases of rape without intercourse, four cases of sexual assault, and two cases of bodily harm.
