Ex AFL WAG Sophie Cachia appears to confirm same-sex romance

Mummy blogger and ex-AFL WAG Sophie Cachia appears to have confirmed her new romance with Australian soccer player Alanna Kennedy, 25. 

In an Instagram post on Wednesday that saw the pair embracing, Sophie said she’s glad to be in ‘isolation’ with Alanna amid the coronavirus pandemic.  

It comes after the 29-year-old announced her split from former Carlton star Jaryd Cachia in September, after three years of marriage, to ‘experiment with sexuality’.

‘Everything and everyone has a place and time. It’s been a longggggg and bumpy road for us to get here, but I’m glad to be in isolation and running out of toilet paper with you,’ Sophie wrote on Instagram. 

The influencer shared the caption alongside two photos of the pair in an embrace, while self-isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic in Nelson Bay, New South Wales.

Followers including Michelle Bridges and Roxy Jacenko, offered their best wishes in the comments section, with Michelle writing: ‘So happy for you.’ 

Sophie confirmed her split with husband Jaryd, 28, in September, when she said she had been asked a lot if she was gay.

‘I’ve been asked a lot lately [if I’m gay] and, for me, it’s that self-discovery period that I’m going through. Am I sitting here a lesbian? No. Am I sitting here saying, “I’m not a lesbian?” No,’ Sophie said on the Shameless podcast.

Sophie said while it’s both ‘sad and exciting’ that she’s starting a new journey, she’s adamant Jaryd is her soulmate and will continue to live with him and their children, son Bobby, six, and daughter Florence, two.

‘We’re both very happily single and share our stories over cups of tea and biccies at the end of the night,’ she revealed at the time.

‘He is the most perfect person in the whole world. But right now, we can’t be together.’

The couple, who were teenagers when they met, ended their relationship in early 2019 – but avoided publicly confirming the split until September.

Despite the split, Sophie has documented her relationship with her husband, even gushing about Jaryd’s parenting skills on Father’s Day.

She and Jaryd still love one another, but say their separation is a prime example of ‘two kids who fell in love hard early, and are now two adults who love and respect each other enough to part ways amicably’.
