Footy star appears to get cosy with a VERY unlikely celebrity friend at the Melbourne Cup
As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for detail and a heart for inspiring stories, I find myself captivated by the enchanting encounter between AFL giant Mason Cox and jockey Michelle Payne at this year’s Melbourne Cup.
On Tuesday, it was noticed that Australian Rules Football player Mason Cox and horse racer Michelle Payne were spending time together pleasantly.
In a lavish marquee at Flemington Race Course during the Melbourne Cup, the well-known duo seemed to be hitting it off splendidly, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia show the pair deep in conversation away from the crowd.
Payne, 39, looked stunning in a gold blazer-style dress that showed off her elegant frame.
She paired her ensemble with a statement gold headband and a matching metallic handbag.
Her appearance exuded pure elegance, enhanced by her subtle, graceful makeup that accentuated her inherent charm.
Simultaneously, Mason, sporting a stylish light beige suit adorned with a yellow flowery brooch, appeared debonair and quintessentially gentlemanly as he leaned towards Payne, sometimes gently touching his own face during their conversation.
Witnessing the football icon and the Melbourne Cup winner having a peaceful moment together sparked quite a lot of conversation among people.
Onlookers commented they looked exceptionally comfortable with one another.
Payne was the very first and so far the only woman to triumph in the Melbourne Cup. Interestingly, this year’s event saw an unprecedented participation of four female jockeys.
Though Michelle has hung up her jockey boots and left the race tracks behind, she still shone brightly at The Birdcage on Tuesday.
‘I’m wearing Jason Crech and we are dressed for Cup Day in gold,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
Instead of wearing her jodhpurs, the Australian jockey gracefully donned a fitted golden mini dress tinted saffron, exuding an air of royal elegance.
Michelle also revealed she’s currently single.
She playfully declined by laughing, saying ‘Not at the moment’ when queried about having a romantic interest.
‘I’m still looking.’
At the age of 18, Michelle met with an accident while riding a horse. This incident resulted in a skull fracture and some bruising on her brain.
She had no short-term memory for two months and even broke her wrist during recovery.
It was thrilling to be reminded of her victory as the first (and still the only) woman jockey to win the Melbourne Cup since it was first run in 1861 – and on a horse with odds of 100 to 1.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to both Michelle and Mason for comment.
