Cricket Australia: Tim Paine’s cosmetic nurse wife Bonnie has lip filler

Cricket WAG Bonnie Paine appears to have topped up her lips with filler recently.

The wife of former Test captain Tim Paine sported a noticeably plump pout while attending a Triple J Hottest 100 party with friends over the weekend.

Bonnie, a mother of two, may well have had dermal filler injected at the cosmetic clinic where she works as a nurse.

She is employed at Sanctum Medical Aesthetics in Hobart, Tasmania.

While it’s unclear when she had the procedure done, her Instagram photos show her lips suddenly growing in size around June.

Photos taken when Bonnie was in her early twenties also reveal she used to have a much thinner pout.

These days her lips are considerably fuller.

Notably her top lip is the same size as her bottom lip, which is rare without cosmetic intervention.

It comes after Bonnie’s husband Tim Paine stepped down as Australia’s Test captain on November 19, after a sexting scandal in which he sent a lewd photo and explicit messages to a female staffer.

Throwback: This Instagram selfie, taken several years ago, shows Bonnie with fuller lips than her pre-filler days. Her pout has since grown in size, presumably due to further injections

He was investigated by Cricket Australia in 2018 after the woman complained, but was cleared of misconduct and the matter was kept secret.

Paine sent a photo of his penis to the female co-worker along with a stream of lewd text messages, many of which are too raunchy to publish.

‘Will you want to taste my d**k?? F**k me, I’m seriously hard,’ one of the messages sent to the Cricket Tasmania employee read.

Paine, who had led the team since the Sandpapergate scandal in 2018, held a press conference at which he tearfully apologised and announced he would step down.

‘It’s an incredibly difficult decision, but the right one for me, my family, and cricket,’ he told reporters.

Bonnie stood by her husband after privately being told of the sexting investigation in 2018, and insisted in an interview late last year they’d moved past it.

Her Instagram bio still proudly says she’s ‘wifey to Tim’.

Bonnie said the scandal had actually been ‘good for their marriage’ in the long run, even though she was ‘completely rocked’ by his betrayal. 

She also admitted she felt bad for him after he was forced to stand down as Australia’s Test cricket captain.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Bonnie said she’d already ‘had her time’ of ‘getting angry, venting and getting upset’ but decided in 2018 to put the incident behind them – and that by doing so, their marriage was stronger than ever.

‘I have a bit of sympathy for Tim at the moment. A lot actually. He and I went through all of this privately in 2018. It was horrific then and is really hard now,’ she said.

The timing of the matter left Bonnie feeling frustrated more than anything at the ‘injustice’ of having their private struggles dragged out all over again.

‘We put it to bed years ago… I remember feeling angry because we had a little girl who wasn’t too old… Tim and I had been in a long relationship, it’d been 10 years and God knows we had our ups and downs… but I was still completely rocked,’ she said.

Addressing her husband, she added: ‘You telling me was a huge progression for us. You kept everything so secretive prior to that. Weirdly, this mess has actually helped our relationship.’

After the sexting scandal broke, Tim announced he was taking an indefinite break from cricket.

On November 26, his manager tweeted: ‘Confirming that Tim is stepping away from cricket for an indefinite mental health break.

‘We are extremely concerned for his and Bonnie’s well-being and will be making no further comment at this time.’
