AFL superstar Dustin Martin ‘is in a relationship’ with model Jessica Gomes as the pair are spotted ‘catching up for series of dinner dates’ – but they remain VERY tight-lipped
AFL superstar Dustin Martin and glamorous swimsuit model Jessica Gomes are rumoured to be in a romantic relationship.
The Richmond Tigers premiership hero, 29, and Gomes, 35, have enjoyed ‘several’ dinner dates in Melbourne this year, according to a report in the Herald Sun.
While it is unclear if the pair are just friends or something more, a source confirmed they do know one another.

Jessica declined to comment when approached by the paper, saying: ‘I am so sorry, but I can’t comment on this. I don’t talk about my private life.’
Martin’s manager Ralph Carr also declined to comment.
The Tigers star, who won the Brownlow Medal in 2017, is notoriously guarded about his private life and rarely gives interviews.
