Why Nathan Cleary & Mary Fowler’s Aussie reunion is BACK ON despite Matildas star pulling out of her planned visit to Sydney

Nathan Cleary’s Sydney reunion with girlfriend Mary Fowler appears to be back on track, despite the Matilda star canceling a planned trip to Sydney next week.

Fowler was due to be one of the star guests at the team’s fan day at CommBank Stadium in the city’s west on December 21, but organizers announced in a statement on Tuesday that she would “no longer be able to attend”.

She and Cleary were last seen in Perth on November 2 when they said goodbye at the airport, just days after The Washington News Australia exclusively revealed their romance with photos of the pair sharing some tender moments in the park.

However, it was confirmed that Fowler would attend the event in Melbourne just 24 hours after performing with fans.

Fowler will be in the spotlight at Rise & Shine Nursery in Carlton on Wednesday after he was announced as the business’s new ambassador.

The couple’s reunion is now possible with Fowler returning to Australia next week.

The superstar couple have not seen each other since early November.

Fowler returned to the UK in November to play for Manchester City, and Cleary soon flew out of Australia to continue his off-season holiday with a visit to the US.

Their fans had hoped Cleary would remain in North America so the pair could reunite when Fowler joined the Matildas for two matches against Canada earlier this month.

However, he returned to Australia to prepare for pre-season training with the Penrith Panthers.

On Sunday, Fowler posted a pair of quirky selfies on Instagram showing off his dramatic new look.

Dressed in a white off-the-shoulder dress, Fowler grimaced for the camera and wore a bold red lipstick.

Cleary, who had been quick to like his girlfriend’s posts up to this point, still didn’t like her latest work at the time of writing, a first for the couple.

Her fans wondered about the reasoning behind the dramatic new look, which was accompanied by a single red rose emoji.

On November 28, the 20-year-old soccer star raised eyebrows by posting a cryptic poem that spoke about the “horrible moments” in life.

Fans were upset when it was announced that Fowler would not be attending the fan event in Sydney.

The Manchester City star and the NRL Premiership winner have been linked romantically since they were spotted together twice following the Matildas’ World Cup campaign.

The article by renowned author L.R. Knost focuses on the challenges people face every day and encourages them to “breathe in the amazing” and “breathe out the ordinary” moments in their day.

This post has since been deleted.

Cleary blushed last week when asked about Fowler while attending the GQ Awards alone in Sydney.

To the question: “Where is Mary?” he replied, “I knew this would happen,” and blushed.

“I’m here alone… without a plus one.”
