In an outpour of emotion this July 2023, they celebrated a special milestone – their 20th wedding anniversary. Katy took to her social media to reminisce, sharing snaps from their nuptials and penning down: "20 Years of US! 20 Years of Mr and Mrs Farley! What a ride we're on @rocaflix ... nobody else I'd rather be doing LIFE with! Happy 20 babe! Let's make more amazing memories! X (Ours was the Hans Zimmer version - obvs! )". Before finding joy with Trey, Katy had stepped into matrimony with her first love, Andrew Frampton, back in 1999, but alas, they went their separate ways by 2001.

The winger joined City on loan from the Scottish Premiership champions over a year ago. He has impressed for the club in the A-League this season, scoring five goals and assisting as many across 19 appearances. Read more: The 23-year-old started at the weekend as his side defeated city rivals Melbourne Victory to win the A-League Grand Final and end the campaign on the most almighty of highs. And now, with decisions looming on players ahead of the summer, Petrillo has given the latest on Tilio's future: "We're still negotiating whether he stays another year or goes to Europe," he told the Football Fever podcast. "We hope he stays another year." The player himself admitted his future remains uncertain following Saturday's showpiece final: "I feel in a really good place," he said. "My future is obviously up in the air at the moment, so I'm unsure what is going to happen. "It's always been about just playing well. I know when I'm playing well that people are always watching. "I want to do everything I can to help Australia qualify for another World Cup. "I took everything in from last camp and put myself in the position now where I feel I'm better for it. I just want to execute everything that I know that I can, and put myself in the position to hopefully be in the squad and play. "It's been 18 months since I've actually stepped on the pitch for the national team. "So I think it's at that time now that I put myself in a position to play well, get an opportunity to do well, and hopefully, sort of cement a spot in there."

The pacy winger clinched the Championship trophy following their 1-0 Grand Final win over rivals Melbourne Victory on Saturday. Tilio is in arguably the best form of his career with five goals and five assists in 19 games - eclipsing his final season in his first spell at City which earned him his move to Glasgow. The Socceroos star played just two games under Rodgers before being shipped back to Melbourne for another lengthy spell. Advertisement While he was meant to return to Glasgow this summer - after international duty for Australia - Tilio recently admitted that his future at Celtic is "up in the air". His contract at Parkhead runs for another three years but Tilio has hinted he could stay in Australia after all. And Melbourne City director of football Michael Petrillo hopes that will be the case as he's revealed talks are ongoing with Celtic about potentially extending his loan for another year. Addressing the winger's future, he told the Football Fever podcast: 'We are still negotiating whether he stays another year or goes to Europe. We hope he stays.' Advertisement Responding to questions surrounding his Celtic return at the weekend, Tilio said: 'My future is obviously up in the air at the moment, so I'm unsure what is going to happen. 'It's always been about just playing well. I know when I'm playing well people are always watching." Celtic loan star Marco Tilio scores a stunning goal on return to Melbourne City Tilio was a £1.5million signing for the Scottish champions in the summer of 2023. A thigh injury derailed his campaign before it even got underway and meant he had to wait until November to make his debut.

He told Optus Sport last year: "I'd hope to be saying I'll be playing consistently over in Europe. "I'd like to say. We'll see but, yeah, that's where my head's at."

Auckland FC: Guillermo May named MVP after historic A-League football season
Francis De Vries won the members' vote for player of the year after his breakout A-League campaign. His defensive prowess and deadly left foot, which earned him a spot back in the men's national team, provided seven assists and two goals. Goalkeeper Alex Paulsen, who has played every minute so far on loan from English Premier League side AFC Bournemouth, was named the player's player of the season. The former Wellington Phoenix star had another rock-solid campaign between the sticks, keeping 12 clean sheets. On the night, Logan Rogerson was honoured for scoring the club's first-ever hat-trick in the Black Knights' 6-1 victory over the Wellington Phoenix in the third domestic derby. That hat-trick was initially awarded to fellow forward Neyder Moreno before league officials overturned the on-field referee's decision after Rogerson was seen deflecting the shot into the net. At the Phoenix's awards night on Tuesday, women's captain Annalie Longo and men's forward Kosta Barbarouses scooped the major accolades. The pair won the members' players of the year, media players of the year, players' players of the year and the sponsor's players of the year honours. Longo, the long-serving Football Fern who retired from the professional game after the women's final match, also collected the Lloyd Morrison Spirit of the Phoenix award for her leadership of the women's team. Both Phoenix sides missed qualification for their respective A-League playoffs, while minor premiers Auckland FC find out their semifinal opponents after the elimination finals on Saturday.
