Mary Fowler lifts the lid on the hilarious question Nathan Cleary had planned to ask her during her first-ever podcast appearance, before the NSW star switched to a more serious topic
Mary Fowler has revealed the hilarious question her boyfriend Nathan Cleary had planned to ask her during her first-ever podcasting appearance before he switched tact to quiz her on a more serious topic.
The Manchester City star sat down last week with the Keegan and Company podcast to talk about everything from long-distance relationships to her ACL recovery.
Fowler is currently in the United Kingdom has been unable to travel back to Australia to watch Cleary play in Wednesday's State of Origin Opening match.
The Queensland native said that she had been persuaded to switch her allegiances from the Maroons to the Blues because of Cleary. And she'll be happy with Wednesday evening's result, after the Panther's half guided NSW to an 18-6 victory at the Suncorp Stadium in State of Origin I.
But after opening up on their long-distance relationship, it was Cleary's turn to ask her a question.
'If you could choose a behaviour for everyone in the world to say, or for everyone in the world to know, what would it be?' The New South Wales star added.
He also paid a touching note to his beau, adding: 'Interested to hear your answer and I know I tell you this a lot but I'm so proud of you I love you and I miss you lots.
'Enjoy, love ya babes.'
Fowler and Cleary are understood to have first met at an adidas event back in 2023 and have since got fans online talking about their romance, with the couple regularly sharing an insight into their lives on social media, travelling the world as they both compete on the world's biggest sporting stages.
'That's so cute I really like that,' Fowler replied.
'Can I just say, he told me before he was like I'm sending like a voice message to you.
'Because, obviously, I did it for him... So he was like yeah, I'm doing it.
'So he was like: "I was going to send a funny one but decided I'd send a more like serious one..."
'The funny one, I was like: "You should have sent us that."
'The funny one was: "Who is the funniest person in your life and why is it me?"'
Fowler couldn't stop laughing at the joke before turning her attention to answer Cleary's serious question.
'A behaviour that I think everyone should display, or something that everyone should know...
'I think that kindness goes a long way, you don't realise how well people can mask how they're really feeling until you go through something and you really mask it.
'The simple things can have the biggest impact on people so I just think being kind, saying hello to people, holding the ball for people... it's so basic, it makes people see like they're seen and they're cared for.
'It's something that I try to in put into my life every day. Everyone has moments where they're annoyed at people, but I think if people just showed kindness throughout their day, it would just make everyone feel a lot better.'

Kmart shoppers obsess over the $49 must-have 'IT' item: 'OMG it looks like a designer'
Savvy shoppers are flocking to Kmart to get their hands on a winter must-have item. The retailer's new faux suede oversized bomber jacket in the colour 'melt brown', priced at just $49, is being eyed by the fashion set as a steal. The cool, luxurious-looking chocolate brown statement piece has been flying off the shelves for all the right reasons - as suede is currently having a major moment in the fashion world. The jacket can be paired with a fancy dress for a night out or for a chic casual look, try a pair of blue jeans, a white T-shirt and white sneakers. 'The bomber jacket of the season has landed! And it's only $49,' Kmart said. Hundreds of excited shoppers weighed in, with many describing it as a 'hot item'. 'Wait what? Kmart - omg it looks like a designer jacket,' one suggested. 'It's what I was looking for,' another said. 'Love it! Love the colour too,' added another. 'OMG I need it,' one revealed. The bomber jacket comes in the 'IT' shade of chocolate brown, which is bang on trend for 2025. In addition, the suede-style material is also a trending look this winter. Similar chocolate brown suede bomber jackets, featuring oversized pocket details, can be found at other popular online fashion retailers - selling for upwards of $387. Accordingly, Aussie fashionistas have wasted no time in heading to the shops to pick up the stylish bargain buy. 'I ran, didn't walk and bought it already,' one revealed. 'Omg just tried this jacket on this morning and it is fabulous,' another shared. However, some disappointed shoppers revealed they were struggling to find the fashion forward piece in stores after it was 'sold out' in their area. 'When are these jackets coming back in stock?' one asked. A Kmart Australia employee responded to some of these messages, assuring customers they were 'working hard' to get the jacket back on shelves – and were hopeful that stock would be plentiful within the next few weeks. However, not all feedback on the coveted jacket was positive. One Kmart shopper who'd managed to get hold of the fashion item in store complained that there were 'not a fan of the material at all'. 'It feels like thick heavy cupboard,' they commented. Another questioned the price point of the jacket, saying: 'A bit expensive Kmart'. Meanwhile, some loyal Kmart fans suggested the jacket did not meet their expectations because they didn't like how 'stiff' the faux suede felt on their body. However, others were thrilled with the style and fit. The jacket is made from a blend of Polyurethane (PU), polyester, cotton and other fibres as well as pongee and suedette fabric. It features a spread collar, long balloon sleeves with a buttoned cuffs, a zip up front and front patch pockets with flap. Like most bomber jackets, the fit of the jacket is designed to be 'oversized'. The latest shopping find comes after another Kmart jacket recently sent fashion lovers into a frenzy. Kmart's Tie Front denim jacket, $35, quickly became a must-have item after being compared to Soeur's Agatha jacket, $545, a high-end staple loved for its effortless French-girl aesthetic. For those who love designer looks but don't want to splurge, the Kmart jacket appeared an obvious choice. At $35, the Kmart denim jacket offered the same laid-back silhouette and rich blue wash without the hefty price tag. The reaction online was instant, with shoppers in disbelief that such a stylish piece was from Kmart. 'Wait. Are you saying this jacket is from Kmart? Stop it immediately,' one person commented. Another added, 'Stop! That is not Kmart! How cute! Immediately adds to cart…' With denim fashion leaning towards relaxed, slightly oversized silhouettes, the Tie Front denim jacket was quickly hailed as an autumn staple.

Manly NRL club threatens to BAN fans from games over shocking viral video taken after match
Manly Sea Eagles CEO Tony Mestrov has threatened to ban footy fans who take part in the dangerous 'run it straight' social media craze after a shocking video surfaced of fans colliding with each other after a game on Saturday. The club will also beef up security for home matches following a series of spectators - some fuelled by alcohol - boldly deciding to take on the challenge following the clash against the Broncos on May 31. Those involved ramped up the danger by using the iconic hill behind the ground on Sydney's northern beaches to speed up the action and increase the force of the collisions. One participant was filmed chugging a beer before roaring and charging down the hill, only to be ironed out by another participant wearing a Sea Eagles jersey. The 'Run It Straight' trend involves people charging directly at each other to mimic a rugby-style collision. 'It's crazy that people will do this type of thing when they know how dangerous and potentially life-threatening it is,' Mestrov told Fairfax. 'We will ensure our security is more vigilant in patrolling this outside zone after full-time, at all future home games. 'Any spectators who breach our rules by engaging in this type of behaviour will be banned. Full stop. As a club, we will continue to make the match day experience that is safe and enjoyable for all.' Sea Eagles prop Nathan Brown also condemned the behaviour. 'It's pretty dangerous, and I wouldn't recommend anyone doing that,' he said. 'I've seen some of the videos. It's not fun, and only bad things can happen. Hopefully, it stops. My advice is to cut it out and ban it.' The Run It Straight trend quickly gained popularity on social media with official competitions popping up in Sydney and in New Zealand - but has drawn criticism for its dangerous nature. The trend turned deadly last week after New Zealand teenager Ryan Satterthwaite tragically lost his life attempting the challenge. He sustained a serious head injury during an impromptu game with friends and passed away in hospital on May 26. His death has prompted widespread warnings from health experts and authorities about the dangers involved by engaging in such behaviour. But some footy supporters in Australia are still seemingly prepared to risk their lives for cheap laughs online. 'Glad to see we've learnt from the poor blokes passing in New Zealand last week,' one viewer posted, tongue firmly in cheek. 'Would love to know how many ended up at northern beaches hospital,' posted another. 'Intelligence below the charts,' added another. Despite the obvious dangers, the warnings and the death of Satterthwaite, the video still attracted plenty of attention from people loving the trend. 'My son was there. He loved it,' one viewer posted with a series of laughing emojis. 'It's called fun. You need to leave the indoors more,' another fired back at a commentator pointing out Satterthwaite's death. 'I'm not opposed to this,' posted another. It comes after former dual-code footy star Sonny Bill Williams had to back away from comments he made online that appeared to endorse the trend. Williams shared footage from his playing days with the Bulldogs, colliding with Penrith's Joel Clinton in 2004 with the video captioned 'old school what a hit'. He added: 'Playing run it straight before it was called run it straight.' Williams later apologised after learning about Satterthwaite's death. 'I put a video up, and I just want to ask for forgiveness of the young fulla that passed away,' Williams said on his social media account. 'Please excuse me for my insensitivity. I did not know that had happened. 'I want to talk about it for a second right now. 'I've been asked to collab with the Run it Straight people, or a couple of people and I haven't. 'Simply because I wouldn't put my kids in it. 'I have safety concerns and that's just my thoughts on it.' Several 'Run It Straight' events in South Auckland were cancelled due to safety concerns and lack of permits following the teenager's death. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board raised concerns over concussion risks and unregulated contact. One event at Williams Park was scrapped after organisers failed to book the venue or seek council approval. Organisers instead held a meet-and-greet at Sylvia Park following the death of Satterthwaite.

Farmer Wants A Wife fans slam glaring detail following Thomas' heartfelt apology to Clarette: 'They are just playing the game'
Farmer Wants A Wife fans are up in arms following Monday night's bombshell episode, pointing out a baffling detail in the latest season. The 13th episode saw Thomas, 35, make a dramatic comeback to the show just 24 hours after blindsiding his ladies by abruptly storming off the farm. Clarette, Rachael, Jess and Laura were left visibly stunned when the farmer made a late entrance at the glitzy Country Ball, having had zero contact with them since vanishing in the heat of the moment. 'I'm really sorry about how it all ended,' Thomas said, pulling Clarette aside the moment he arrived. 'I shouldn't be storming out.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Still reeling from their argument, Clarette told Thomas she felt betrayed after discovering he'd been messaging his ex, Claire, despite insisting their connection was over. 'I was so upset because I thought Claire was no longer an issue for us,' she said. But Thomas was quick to shut down any lingering doubts. 'I mean it, I swear. The contact's deleted. No contact at all,' he insisted. His emotional plea seemed to work, with Clarette accepting his apology before the pair sealed their reconciliation with a passionate kiss. However, despite Clarette's 'forgive and forget' attitude, fans aren't so quick to breeze passed a glaring detail. Despite Farmer Thomas' obvious preference towards frontrunner Clarette and the on-and-off screen connection they share, the other three women continue to stick around. Fans flooded social media questioning why the other ladies even bother staying on the show - and why Thomas hasn't put his eggs in one basket and called it a day. Fans flooded social media questioning why the other ladies even bother staying on the show - and why Thomas hasn't put his eggs in one basket and called it a day 'Why are Thomas's ladies even there? Clarette is obviously his one. I, for one, would leave,' one person wrote on Facebook. Another chimed in: 'Totally are all giving Clarette grief, but I think they are having a relationship and they are just playing the game for the show.' Other fans poured into the comment section of the show's Instagram page to share their predictions regarding the pairing. 'Thomas picks Charette and I don't know why the other ladies are still there I feel sorry for the other ladies,' one wrote. 'He is incredibly awkward. I can't watch him anymore, let Clarette have him, gets these other deserving girls off the hook,' another said. 'He and Clarette deserve each other, all the other ladies have all been too good for him,' someone else savagely penned. Thomas' shock reunion sent ripples through the group on Monday night, with Jess later pulling the farmer aside for a serious chat. She admitted she felt like she was wasting her time competing for attention and hinted at a possible exit from the show. Despite the drama, Thomas went on to select Clarette for his next one-on-one date, proving he's all in on making their relationship work. His surprise return, heartfelt apology, and bold decision to double down on Clarette has well and truly reignited the race for love - and thrown the farm doors wide open for more drama.
