A reporter has been swiftly cut off for asking Mary Fowler about her romance with Nathan Cleary after she was reunited with the Panthers premiership hero this week.

Fowler, 21, touched down in Sydney on Tuesday night and was pictured being picked up at the airport by her boyfriend.

The sporting power couple embraced and shared a kiss before Cleary helped her get her bags out of the terminal.

On Wednesday morning, Fowler appeared at the Rise & Shine Kindergarten in the southern Sydney suburb of Beverley Park, where she has been named as as the business’s new ambassador.

Fowler was all smiles in the room full of kindergarteners but turned silent when questions shifted to her personal life.

‘Nathan was there to meet you last night at the airport, so that’s all good?’ said one reporter.

Fowler’s media team quickly shut down the line of questioning. 

‘Sorry, we can’t ask that question,’ said the star’s public relations representative.

Australians have been desperate to find out the details of Fowler and Cleary’s rumoured romance after they were spotted cosying up together at a Perth park last month.

The last time the pair were together was on November 2 when Cleary farewelled Fowler at Perth Airport after the Matildas’ 3-0 win over Chinese Taipei the night before.

Fowler and her Matildas teammates made all of Australia happy when the team reached the semi-finals at the home World Cup that was played in front of record crowds and watched by millions of people at home.

‘It’s been an incredible year. It’s hard to put into words how big it’s been,’ she said having emerged as one of Australia’s most important attacking weapons, especially with Sam Kerr out injured.

‘I didn’t expect that [Australians to be so invested in women’s football].

‘I think the majority of us went into the World Cup not expecting that, but that was amazing.

‘I think that was the best part of the World Cup, to see how many people got behind us and how together Australia came.’

The noise around Accor Stadium when Kerr scored against England could have been heard in outer space, but the crowning moment for the Aussies came a few days earlier when they eliminated France in a pulsating penalty shootout.

There were endless twists and turns on that night, with Fowler coolly slotting a penalty that sizzled into the bottom corner and showed just how poised she is on the biggest stage.

‘It’s funny because in the moment I just felt so sure that we were going to win,’ she said.

‘I felt very calm and very prepared, and it’s only when I watch it back that I feel stressed.

‘In the moment, everyone had prepared so well and believed so when we did miss a couple of them (penalties), there was never any doubt that we’d pull through in the end.’

Trying to get tickets to Matildas games has been as difficult as trying to get to a Taylor Swift concert, and another massive crowd is expected to be there when they host Uzbekistan in February for a spot in next year’s Olympics.

Fowler played in the Tokyo Games that were delayed by the pandemic, and she wants another crack at a medal in Paris.

The teams will compete over two legs, with plenty of intrigue over whether Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson will be there given he’s been linked with the Swedish job.

‘The job’s not done until it’s done,’ Fowler said, not willing to talk about the coaching situation

‘A lot of people just think about those games and think that it’ll be a walkover for us, but you can’t say that you’re at the Olympics until you actually qualify.

‘We’ll be preparing for them and taking them seriously.’
