The footy player, 29, only follows 97 people on Instagram, and Ellyse is one of them.

Adding fuel to the fire, she is the only woman he follows who isn’t a family member.

While it’s unclear if they’re dating, sources close to Ellyse told The Herald Sun they have been close friends for a while.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ellyse Perry and Nat Fyfe for further comment.

The pair have been linked before in 2020, when Nat was asked: ‘Other than your partner, who would you take to the Brownlow?’ 

‘Ellyse Perry. Can I say that?’ he responded.

Ellyse confirmed her split from Wallabies player Matt Toomua in July, after almost five years of marriage.

‘It’s with the greatest of respect for one another that we decided to separate earlier this year,’ the pair said in a joint statement.

‘We felt this was the right course of action and is in the best interests of each other and our current lives. This is something that has evolved and is a mutual decision.’

‘Throughout our relationship we have remained private and we ask that our space and privacy continue to be respected during this difficult time for both of us.’

Matt, 31, is now dating Canberra psychologist Naomi Cameron, 29.
