NRL star Braith Anasta rekindles romance with Sydney publicist – as his ex-fiancée Rachael Lee announces pregnancy news

After ending his relationship with fiancée Rachael Lee, footballer Braith Anasta is reported to have revived an old love affair from his past.

This 43-year-old individual, known for his successful stints with the Bulldogs and Roosters, is currently in a relationship with Sydney-based publicist Sara Bray. Interestingly, they were previously involved about twenty years back.

During the weekend, Sara happily posted a warm picture alongside the renowned footballer as they both savored a leisurely lunch together.

In a stylish ensemble, she donned a trendy polka-dotted top paired with sunglasses, all while casually clutching a glass of wine. By her side, Braith sported a smile.

‘He makes me happy 20 years later,’ she captioned the snap.

Friends were quick to jump into the comments section to celebrate the reunion.

Jade Hounsell commented with a hint of foresight, “Looks like I called it twenty years back,” as Lisa Shae Coulton responded, “Indeed, a timeless romance.

Another mate, Sasha Trev, cheekily wrote: ‘But does he remember what he’s in for?’

The romance reveal comes as Braith’s ex-fiancée Rachael Lee shared her own happy news.

In a simple, conversational style, the statement could be rephrased as follows: A 36-year-old woman shared a picture of herself relaxing on a sunny beach with her new companion, Bra Boy Evan Faulks. She also joyfully revealed that they are expecting their first child together.

‘Summer baby on its way,’ she wrote, adding a sunflower emoji.

In the photo, Rachel is seen lounging on the sand wearing a strapless black swimsuit. She’s giving a peace sign, and meanwhile, Faulks is grinning from ear to ear, donned in black board shorts.

Overwhelming messages of encouragement poured in from acquaintances and famous personalities alike. ‘Congratulations! ❤️,’ Zoe Marshall wrote, and MAFS bride Domenica Calarco commented with ‘Congratulations!!’

Rachel and Braith called off their engagement towards the end of 2022. Together they have a daughter named Gigi, whereas Anastasia is also a father to 11-year-old Aleeia from his previous marriage to Jodi Gordon.

Braith made headlines last August after putting out a call for single women to date him. 

On the radio show 2Day FM’s Jimmy and Nath, he made an appearance to clarify his marital status as unattached and expressing his desire to find a new companion. He also mentioned that he has particular preferences in his taste when it comes to potential partners.

Following the exclusive report by Daily Mail Australia, it was made public that his brief relationship with Evie Tziomakis had ended by early 2024.

Each morning, I eagerly tune in to catch my favorite breakfast show, hoping for a glimpse of Braith Anasta. One day, the hosts dared to ask the question on everyone’s mind: “What steps must a girl take to secure a date with you?” His response, as direct as ever, left no room for misunderstanding.

‘Well they’ve got to be not pregnant! I feel like I’m on The Bachelor now,’ he joked.

At the moment, I’m quite flexible and ready for whatever comes my way! My schedule isn’t very crowded, so if something aligns, I’d be glad to meet you at the Coogee Pavilion this evening at 4 pm.

Braith also recently opened up about his love life on the Two Doting Dads podcast.

Hosts Matty ‘J’ Johnson and Ash Wicks asked the NRL legend about dating as a single parent. 

He mentioned that it’s challenging for him because he has children with two separate partners, prompting Matty’s question about when Braith plans to introduce his kids to new romantic relationships.

The second go-around, I’m being a little cautious since I wouldn’t want my children to experience that tough situation once more.

Braith mentioned that it’s been approximately two and a half years since he last was in a relationship, without disclosing his recent involvement with Tziomakis.

It’s approximately two and a half years since I last had a partner, and every time I encounter a woman, the uncertainty sets in. Am I correct?

‘I’m certainly not in a hurry if I meet a girl. It’s got to be right.’
