Schapelle Corby spotted hugging mystery man at airport
Schapelle Corby has been spotted dropping off a mystery man at an Australian airport, hugging him goodbye.
The convicted drug smuggler turned clockmaker was photographed at the Gold Coast Airport wishing an unknown man safe travels as he prepared for a flight.
The 47-year-old dressed casually in a loose, faded black hooded shirt and a pair of leggings.
She added an olive-toned bucket hat and a pair of sneakers and appeared to go make-up free.
Corby hugged her male friend before he set off with a large black duffel bag.
It comes after Corby left social media followers pondering over engagement rumours while celebrating her birthday in Paris in 2024.
In a photo posted to Instagram, Corby posed in a beret in front of the Eiffel Tower, with a sparkling ring on what seemed to be her ring finger. Schapelle Corby and a mystery man embrace. Credit: NARI / BACKGRID
Her fans soon spotted the piece of jewellery and questioned if she was getting married.
However, it was made apparent that the image Corby shared had been flipped in an editing app and the ring was actually on her right hand.
Proof that the photo had been flipped pointed to the Olympic rings in the background as the order they are in was around the wrong way.
Corby has been single for sometime after she split from her Indonesian boyfriend Ben Panangian in 2020 after 16 years together.
The couple met in a Bali prison in 2006 when they were both serving time for drug-related offences but had not seen each other in person since 2019.
Corby was imprisoned for nine years after she was caught attempting to smuggle 4.2kg cannabis into Indonesia in October 2004.
Following her release, she has made a new life for herself making a living as a clockmaker and also appeared on a season of SAS Australia.

Can-do boat crews make a splash at Beer Can Regatta
Boat race crews with a can-do attitude have battled it out at the famed beachside Beer Can Regatta, now in its 51st year. Thousands of people gathered at Mindil Beach in Darwin on Sunday for sand and sea competitions culminating in the free-for-all Battle for Mindil between determined beer-can boat crews. The regatta began in 1974 as a clean-up initiative featuring 63 homemade boats and some 22,000 spectators - about half Darwin's population at the time. An Australian army team won one of the key boat races in 2024 but this year wants to win the main event, the Battle for Mindil, in which crews battle it out with water pistols, flour bombs and boat ramming. Vittoria Vitiello of the 1st Combat Engineer Regiment says this year they aim to win the battle for "bragging rights". "Last year we turned someone's boat over so that was lots of fun," the team leader said. "It's what Darwin is all about - being a bit silly and getting things down." The 2025 battle features hidden underwater treasure, which the tacked-together tinnie crews have to find and get back to shore without having it seized. Other makeshift boats also feature in the regatta, including ones made from large plastic water containers and cardboard milk cartons. NT Tourism and Major Events Minister Marie-Clare Boothby said the regatta celebrated the territory's unique lifestyle and was all about creativity, sustainability and having fun.
