Speaking to Stellar magazine, the 29-year-old model said that she was unaware of his fame and doesn’t even watch his games now that they’re married.

‘When I first met Tom, I’d been living overseas, so I wasn’t aware,’ she admitted.

‘I met Tom for who he was and not for what he did. And if I’m honest, I still don’t know a lot about what he does,’ she continued.

‘When he’s on the field, he knows I’ve definitely got Netflix on and some Thai takeaway.’

The couple announced their engagement on New Year’s Eve in 2019, after three years of dating.

They were forced to postpone their nuptials on several occasions and were forced to ditch their most recent set of wedding plans in December after Tom contracted Covid-19 during a holiday to Byron Bay.

They share two children together; daughters Sophie, two, and Elodie, one.
