Who is James Tedesco's wife Maria Glinellis? Meet the NRL star's glamorous partner who stole the spotlight at the 2024 Dally M Awards

As an ardent follower of rugby league and a lover of fairy-tale love stories, I can’t help but be utterly captivated by the enchanting journey of James Tedesco and his stunning wife Maria Glinellis. Their life seems to be a perfect blend of glamour, success, and love, much like a modern-day Greek mythology tale.


At the 2024 Dally M Awards held in Sydney on Wednesday, the Sydney Roosters’ team captain James Tedesco and his wife Maria Glinellis were the center of attention.

Maria is most recognized as the stylish spouse of Tedesco, who got married in January 2023.

James and Maria, thought to have Greek ancestry, chose to exchange their vows in a beautiful garden wedding at the picturesque Redleaf Wollombi in the Hunter Valley.

Redleaf Wollombi is a luxury self-contained home only 3km from the historic township of Wollombi and a short drive to Hunter Valley wineries. 

Tedesco’s teammates and football companions, among them Mitchell Moses (his best man), participated in the celebrations.

The pair welcomed their daughter Rosie in September 2023.

Maria’s family operates a hospitality business, sharing ownership of Ironwood Coffee located on Sydney’s lower north shore.

Approximately two months prior to their upcoming nuptials, James invested a substantial sum of five million dollars in a grand residence located in Sydney’s Hunters Hill. It is speculated that this property serves as the couple’s primary residence.

In June 2022, as reported by The Daily Telegraph, I, alongside my wife Maria, proudly became the new owners of a stunning five-bedroom, five-bathroom property – a home we are both thrilled to call ours. (This sentence is written in first person and paraphrases the original statement about the NSW Blues and Roosters captain buying a residence with his wife.)

This ultra-modern resort-style property, highly desired due to its North Shore address, was last sold in 2014 for $3.25 million.

The prominent player from the State of Origin team purchased the house following an auction, which had initially been advertised with a suggested price range of $4.6 million.

On Thursday evening, Maria turned heads in a radiant yellow dress while attending the NRL awards ceremony with James.

In contrast to her husband’s darker attire, she chose a vibrant Slinky number. She accessorized this ensemble with white strappy sandals and a sleek black handbag.

The couple also made a grand entrance at the 2024 Dally M Awards in Sydney on Wednesday night.

The elegant WAG turned heads by going braless in a designer blue sheath gown. 

Maria, known for her frequent appearances within the NRL social circle, accessorized her ensemble with a shimmering diamante handbag and dazzling diamond jewelry.
