Ellyse Perry is one of the highly profiled Australian cricketers popular for all-round skills, having been formerly married to a popular Australian rugby player named Matt Toomua. The couple started dating in 2013, became engaged in 2014, and got married in December 2015. However, midway through 2020, Perry and Toomua announced separation after nearly five years of marriage.
After this divorce, Perry kept her personal life very private. In 2021, rumors abounded about her relationship with Australian Rules footballer and former Fremantle Football Club captain Nat Fyfe; neither Perry nor Fyfe has publicly confirmed these speculations. Their speculation was fuelled when Fyfe reportedly cheered on Perry at a Women’s Big Bash League match. However, both athletes continue to keep their personal lives largely away from the limelight, focusing instead on their careers and respective sports.
Perry’s ability to maintain her balance between cricket and public life with privacy has made her a role model. She continues to go professional, leaving a significant mark on women’s sports and cricket, all the while keeping discreet about her private life, which garners an amount of respect from fans across the globe.
