AFL sensation Sam Durham has taken a significant step in his personal life, revealing his romantic involvement with Australian fashion icon Paris Bishop.
The 22-year-old Essendon athlete and Bishop made their first public appearance as a couple at a movie premiere in Melbourne.
Durham solidified their relationship by officially acknowledging it in a statement.
“We are still pretty fresh, but have been seeing each other for a while,”he told.
Although they have not been publicly photographed together, they do follow each other on Instagram.
Both Durham and Bishop are active participants in Melbourne’s vibrant social scene, often sharing some amazing moments from their outings with friends on social media platforms.
Durham, hailing from the regional Victorian town of Seymour, was drafted by The Bombers in 2021.
Recently, he committed to a five-year contract extension, ensuring his presence with the team until at least 2028.
Meanwhile, Bishop, affiliated with the prestigious Chadwick Models agency, frequently showcases sponsored content for various brands on her social media channels.
Their public reveal follows AFL star Brodie Grundy’s announcement of his engagement to longtime physiotherapist girlfriend Rachael Wertheim in December.
The 30-year-old Swans recruit disclosed the exciting news during a press conference, amidst discussions about his relocation from Melbourne to Sydney for AFL purposes.
”I was just so impressed with the Swans’ pitch and the first meeting I had, I walked out with my now fiancée and we were just blown away,” he told the media.
The couple, who share roots in Adelaide, embarked on their journey together when Rachael relocated to Melbourne with Brodie after he signed with Collingwood FC.
