Newly appointed Manly Sea Eagles captain Tom Trbojevic and his fashion designer wife, Kristi Wilkinson, have treated NRL supporters to a glimpse of their idyllic post-wedding escape in the Maldives.
A Stunning Honeymoon Getaway
The couple, who tied the knot just before Christmas at the exclusive Jackson Ranch by Bannisters on the New South Wales south coast, have been soaking up the sun in the South Asian paradise. Through social media, Kristi offered fans a window into their luxurious break, which has provided a well-earned respite for the fullback after the recent NRL season.
Images show the Manly star fully embracing the relaxation, seen lounging on a sunbed and navigating the crystal-clear waters on a paddleboard. The pair also explored the local islands using push bikes, enjoyed beach days, and took a refreshing dip in their resort's pool.
One particularly romantic snapshot captured the newlyweds smiling during a breathtaking sunset, with Kristi captioning the series of posts simply: 'Honeymooning with my husband.' She also modelled a elegant white gown by the shore.
Celebrations and a New Chapter On and Off the Field
The honeymoon follows a series of major life events for the Trbojevics. Their wedding in December saw Tom in a classic black tuxedo and Kristi dazzling in a strapless white gown. The reception featured a celebratory champagne waterfall, created by pouring a magnum of Veuve Clicquot into a pyramid of glasses.
Prior to the big day, Kristi celebrated her hen party in early December in Newport, Sydney, with a pilates and prosecco-themed event involving a class and a luxury boat party off Newport Pier.
Professionally, Trbojevic has secured his future at Manly, signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2027 season. This ended months of speculation about his playing future. Significantly, the 29-year-old has also been named the Sea Eagles' new captain for the upcoming season, stepping into the role following Daly Cherry-Evans' departure to the Sydney Roosters.
Fashion Venture and Return to Football
While Tom prepares for his leadership role on the field, Kristi is making moves in the design world. She has launched a new fashion and design agency called Tekai. The brand is poised to release a new range of beach-inspired products, including parasols, blankets, and apparel, aligning perfectly with the couple's recent tropical getaway.
After a season where he scored six tries in 18 appearances, Trbojevic's honeymoon marks a final period of rest before the demands of his new captaincy and the pre-season begin. Fans will be eager to see the influential player lead the Sea Eagles when the NRL competition resumes.
