Greetings! Join us for a sneak peek into The Group Chat with Lucy Manly – your window into Australia’s latest scoops and buzzworthy news, straight from the heart of the action before they become headlines.

Max makes a Graceful exit 

All signs point to splitsville for activist Grace Tame and her fiancé Max Heerey.

It’s believed that the previous Australian of the Year, who turned 30, has discreetly parted ways with Heerey, a former financial broker now gardener, around this time last year.

It’s not unusual for couples to part ways, but what makes this separation peculiar is that neither party seems ready to acknowledge the reasons behind it, which are now quite apparent.

For quite some time now, this formerly unbreakable pair hasn’t been spotted together, and neither of them has appeared on the other’s frequently updated social media platforms.

Previously, Heerey worked for his future spouse at the Grace Tame Foundation, but decided to leave and establish a charitable lawn mowing enterprise instead. Now, he operates as a mortgage broker.

During the summer, he was constantly accompanied by a group of fair-haired companions, and Tame was noticeably absent. Additionally, he took a vacation with friends in Europe during August as well, once more excluding Tame from the trip.

In 2020, two health enthusiasts crossed paths on the sports app Strava, marking the start of their romantic journey together. Her short-lived marriage in the U.S., which concluded in a divorce, preceded this new relationship.

Indeed, you’ve correctly understood. Tame was previously married, and her first spouse was a celebrity. Her initial husband was Spencer Breslin, an American actor known for ‘The Cat in the Hat’, who is also the elder sibling to Abigail Breslin, another actress.

In the year 2017, they got married in an Elvis-inspired wedding ceremony; Breslin played Elvis while Tame took on the role of Priscilla. However, their marriage didn’t last long and Tame moved back to Tasmania, where she later crossed paths with Heerey.

Fast-forward to January 2022, he unexpectedly proposed to her on a beautiful bike ride, and overjoyed Tame eagerly announced this wonderful news to her social media friends.

Forever and always, my sweet angel,” she titled the picture displaying an extraordinary sapphire ring, as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

A different image captured the instant when Heerey knelt, with tears evident on Tame’s face as she agreed, and they both kept their bike helmets fastened.

Well, As I was meticulously crafting this tale of ours, something rather intriguing took place – a hitch in the gears, if you will. At present, I can’t quite put my finger on the cause, but rest assured, I’m hot on the trail to uncover the mystery! Keep your eyes peeled for updates, as I promise to share the revelations as soon as they come to light.

Upon reaching out to Heerey for their thoughts, I got a notification on my phone indicating that Tame has asked to follow my Instagram account.

It seems to me that something strategic might be taking place in the private sphere leading up to the split.

Currently, neither has uttered a single word. Herreey refused to provide comments, and Tamme failed to respond before the article was published.

Campbell Brown bets on friendship after marriage split

It’s no wonder that a past professional footballer is often found in excellent company with a senior executive from a prominent online betting platform, given the close relationship between sports and wagering.

It seems that quite a few individuals have recently shared stories about the close bond between former AFL icon-turned-sports commentator Campbell Brown and up-and-coming Sportsbet personality Christina Ruiz.

On Christmas Eve, I was spotted going for a walk with Ruiz, both of us dressed in activewear. However, it was promptly clarified that we were simply friends, and we respect that interpretation.

The individual, aged 31, serves as the general manager for commercial content at Sportsbet, a role possibly connecting her with Brown.

They reside in the identical apartment complex situated in South Yarra, which is quite a stretch from Brown’s old matrimonial abode in Kangaroo Grounds, a place where he maintains his retired racing horses.

Last year, there were murmurs circulating within our group chat about Ruiz ending her long-term relationship, which I’ve learned to take with a grain of salt. It’s important to note that it’s not implied that her friendship with Brown had any part in the rumored split.

In August 2023, Brown, who provides analysis for both AFL and horse racing on SEN and Seven, parted ways with his wife Jessica Johnson just six weeks after the birth of their third child, Bailey.

It was later reported Brown had told his wife he had ‘fallen out of love’ with her.

For 19 heartfelt years, I shared my life with my cherished partner from childhood, and we were happily married for a decade. The recent separation has left me feeling utterly shattered and taken aback – it feels as though a part of me has been unexpectedly torn away.

‘It’s all so raw and came out of nowhere,’ a source told the Herald Sun at the time.

After parting ways with my spouse, I found myself drawn to Grace Hayden, a prominent television personality and the daughter of cricketing icon Matthew Hayden. It’s important to clarify that there’s no indication that Grace played any role in the dissolution of my previous marriage.

In November of 2023, at the tender age of 21, I found myself, namely yours truly, dancing alongside Brown. We both held the esteemed positions of ambassadors for the Ladbrokes Summer Racing Festival, gracing the vibrant landscape of Tasmania with our presence.

Brown and Hayden were associated with the prominent global talent and branding agency, TLA Worldwide, which serves as a bridge between sports figures, corporations, and enthusiasts.

At the moment, neither of them spoke up about it, however, it was reported that Papa Hayden didn’t approve of the romantic situation and promptly put a stop to it.

Ruiz and Brown’s reps were contacted for comment. 

And finally… guess who, don’t sue 

Who is the stylish businessperson that has been enjoying extravagant events and moving between houses this past summer, specifically on the exclusive Wunulla Road in Point Piper, known for its high property values among Australian streets?

As a heartbroken yet relentless admirer, I can’t help but follow the journey of this extraordinary titan of industry. Having parted ways with her husband, she’s currently navigating the cushy abodes of fellow successful entrepreneurs, seeking that perfect, permanent sanctuary.

We hear she is ruffling a few society feathers in the process. 

In simpler terms, the affluent eastern peninsula, known for its bustling high society ladies and fashion models, is hoping that the continuous late-night activities will quiet down as we’ve entered a full week into the new year.
