AFLW star Moana Hope puts on a loved-up display with girlfriend Maria Thattil as they head to the Australian Open

Moana Hope and her model girlfriend Maria Thattil put on a loved-up display as they headed to the Australian Open in style on Thursday.

The lovebirds shared a series of photos to Instagram, as they posed in a Melbourne street on their way to the tennis match.

Maria, 30, showed off her figure in a tight dark blue dress, which she accessorised with white heels and white-rimmed sunglasses.

AFLW star Moana, 35, kept it low-key yet chic with a matching black shirt and shorts emblazoned with orange and blue geometric symbols.

The couple worked their angles outside a row of terrace homes, and captioned the collection of photos: ‘Us en route to Australian Open.’

The couple have been dating for the past few months following Moana’s split from her ex-wife, Isabella, with whom she shares two children.

And things are reportedly getting serious between the lovebirds.

Maria has even introduced her father to her new love, as he was recently photographed sitting with them while they enjoyed a meal together.

In September, Moana slammed criticism herself and Maria had got together too soon following her split.

An emotionally-charged Moana took to Instagram saying there were no hard and fast rules for when to move on when you separate.

‘Can they send me the book on how to be separated?’ she said in the video.

‘Is there an index section in that book that says how long you should have to wait to be separated from someone before you find happiness?’

She went on to say the choice to move on is up to her.

‘Whether I am dating one person or multiple people… Whatever decision I make for me is my choice. I don’t need to follow some book,’ she said.

The sportswoman added that she was the ‘happiest she had been in a long time’ with Maria, adding her mental health had also improved

‘If I decide to date… That’s my choice. I do not need anyone to tell me what is acceptable,’ she said.

Moana split-up with Isabella last May explaining they’d tried ‘everything to get their relationship back on track’ but she ‘didn’t feel the same as she used to’.

Maria also recently went through a high-profile breakup, after she and her TikTok star ex-girlfriend Jorgia O’Hare, announced their split in June.
