After falling for a bombshell from Sutherland Shire, Kalyn Ponga has taken a break from dating.

With Gabrielle Peak, the 25-year-old star of the Newcastle Knights, who is known for being reticent, she went public late last month on her Instagram page.

Peak, who plays defender for Sydney University in the Women’s National Premier League soccer league, is an athlete just like her current partner.

Despite playing in a defensive position, she has made 14 appearances this season and seems to be a clean player. She has not yet received a booking. Peak has not yet recorded a point or an assist on her end either.

Ponga has had a challenging year on the field due to a series of concussions sustained in the NRL.
