Aaron Smith’s girlfriend Teagan Voykovich has stepped out on the windswept Bondi to Coogee coastal walk in Sydney, as her star All Black partner battles against allegations of a sex affair cover up to prepare for tomorrow’s Bledisloe Cup test match.
Voykovich was seen braving the city’s strong winds with Hannah Laity – girlfriend of Beauden Barrett – and another friend as their partners prepared for tomorrow night’s game.
Smith hit the headlines this week after Daily Mail Australia revealed messages between the rugby player and a lawyer, showing their disabled toilet tryst wasn’t a one off and that Smith tried to force the woman to lie under oath about their affair.
New Zealand Rugby has re-opened their investigation into the affair as a result, saying in a statement they ‘believe that it needs to investigate the Aaron Smith matter further and has instructed an independent lawyer to do so’.

Video showing Smith and the mystery lawyer leaving a toilet at a New Zealand airport after a sexual encounter made headlines last year, prompting a tearful apology from the rugby star.
And now – after messages between Smith and the woman were revealed by Daily Mail Australia this week – she has opened up on the toll of having their two-year affair come to an end in such public fashion.
An All Blacks spokesman refused to comment on the story at a press conference on Thursday, while also barring Daily Mail Australia from the media event.

Photos of the woman at the centre of the sex scandal have finally been revealed, putting a face to the lawyer who claims Smith tried to buy her silence and pressured her to lie under oath.
She has also justified her decision to go public, saying her efforts to resolve the issue privately were ignored, and she was frustrated by a ‘sexist’ and high-handed attitude from New Zealand Rugby.
The salacious Facebook messages obtained by Daily Mail Australia show Smith had begged for sex in parks and ‘good luck’ sex before games.
In proposing their toilet liaison he asked for a ‘special toilets f***’, saying the pair had to be ‘sneaky’ as his All Black teammates were nearby set to fly out to South Africa.
