A Marriage on the Rocks
The athlete admitted that his relationship with his childhood sweetheart was teetering on the edge of divorce due to the pressures of professional sport and the demands of fame. "It was a dark time," he confessed. "The constant travel, media scrutiny, and emotional strain were taking a toll on us."
The Turning Point
Everything changed when the NRL coach, renowned for his leadership both on and off the field, stepped in. "He noticed I wasn't myself," the player explained. "Instead of just focusing on my game, he took the time to ask about my personal life."
The coach reportedly shared his own experiences about balancing professional commitments with family life, offering practical advice and emotional support. "He showed me that being a strong man isn't about hiding your struggles, but facing them head-on," the player added.
The Road to Recovery
Following the coach's intervention, the couple began attending counselling sessions together. "We learned to communicate better and prioritise our relationship," the player revealed. "Now, we're stronger than ever."
