She's moving on! Jaime Chapman puts on a brave face after shock split from NRL star Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow
Chapman, 23, was in a relationship with Queensland Origin fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, but that appears to be over after Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed the 'Hammer' in an X-rated video with another woman.
The footage features a young woman known to the Dolphins NRL star filming herself performing a sex act on him.
Tabuai-Fidow is easily identifiable due to his tattoos, including a recent piece featuring a bear wearing a crown that he had inked on his right thigh.
A source said the footage was taken on June 7.
Tabuai-Fidow and the woman had been partying at the Su Casa nightclub in Brisbane, with the venue's stamp visible on her forearm in the footage.

They left the nightclub together and ventured back to Tabuai-Fidow's house in Brisbane's north, where they made the consensual sex tape.
Chapman is arguably the poster girl of the NRLW competition after first entering the league with St George in 2021 before shifting to the Broncos and then the Titans.
She has gone from star club player to being one of the NSW Blues' best in State of Origin and earning five appearances for the national side, the Jillaroos.
Chapman's career trajectory is mirrored by Tabuai-Fidow's.
He debuted for the Cowboys in 2020 before moving to the Dolphins in 2023 and stamping himself as one of the league's most exciting talents while excelling for Queensland and Australia.
Confirmation of their break-up comes after he was named as fullback for the Maroons in game three, in a move that will see him play one of the most important positions in the series decider in Sydney on July 9.
One of their last public appearances together came on May 1, after Chapman's Blues team steamrolled Queensland 32-12 in the first match of the women's State of Origin series.
In heart-warming scenes, she went to the sidelines to greet friends and family after the win and kissed and hugged her man, who was holding a huge cardboard cut-out of her face.
The split comes during a very turbulent year for Chapman, who has endured a shocking deepfake scandal that resulted in a police investigation.
And earlier this year Chapman opened up about her battle to return to the field after breaking one of the vertebrae in her lower back while playing for the Indigenous team in February.
Scans the following day revealed the fracture - and for the next fortnight, Chapman barely moved as she looked to recover as quickly as possible.
'I've never broken a bone before, so [it was a] pretty hectic one,' she said.
'It was quite painful. The way I pulled up extremely sore the next day I knew something was wrong.

Venomous snake bite wiped my memory – so I got to ‘meet' my girlfriend for a second time & fall in love all over again
A MAN who was bitten by a venomous snake and left with no memory of his girlfriend said he got to "fall in love" all over again. Mark Pelley unintentionally "ghosted" his now-wife Rebecca following the near fatal attack in Melbourne, Australia. 8 8 8 The snake hunter had just started dating his partner when he was bitten by a tiger snake and lost the ability to breathe. Unbeknown to his new love interest, he was rushed to hospital where he battled multiple organ failures and was left with temporary full retrograde amnesia. The condition causes individuals to lose the ability to recall memories or information from before an injury. Mark was reminded of his relationship when, after 10 days of not hearing from him, Rebecca texted him accusing him of "ghosting" her. The text read: 'Well if you don't want to talk to me anymore, you could have let me know.' The two then went on to 'fall in love all over again' and tied the knot this week. 'Before we met [again], I went through our texts so knew we were dating – and it was obvious in our messages how much I liked her,' Mark said. He added: 'I could see that I was chasing after her and she was playing a bit hard to get. 'When we met, I had to explain from the beginning how not only did I get bitten and get seriously injured, but I lost a huge part of my memory for a while and didn't remember her at all. 'I went through the whole ordeal and said 'I know from my journal notes that I'm in love with you, but I look at you right now and can't tell you a single thing about yourself or us. Gran, 55, found dead with head in the jaws of 23ft long python after she vanished while working in her garden 'I understand if that's too much to take in and because I don't remember you, it would be okay if you left'. 'Rebecca remained quiet for a bit and then said 'I look forward to making you fall in love with me all over again'.' Describing it as 'one of the most incredible moments' of his life, Mark said the moment he touched her hand again, he "instantly" felt love in his heart. He said: 'It shot from my palm of my left hand up my arm through my shoulder into my heart. What is amnesia? AMNESIA refers to the loss of memories, including facts, information and experiences, according to Mayo Clinic. Symptoms include, trouble learning new information and trouble remembering past events and previously familiar information. Most people with amnesia struggle with short-term memory and can't retain new information. Recent memories are most likely to be lost while ingrained memories may be spared. Individuals may recall experiences from childhood or know the names of past presidents. But they may not be able to name the current president, know the month or remember what they ate for breakfast. People with amnesia usually can understand written and spoken words and can learn skills such as bike riding or piano playing. They may understand they have a memory disorder. 'My heart recognised Rebecca even though my mind didn't. 'It was a very strange feeling love, but not know who I was in love with.' Rebecca said she felt 'awful' that she'd had no idea what was going on. She said: 'I don't watch the news so even though Mark's snake bite made headlines internationally, I was oblivious and thought he just stopped liking me.' Mark was bitten by the snake at a property in northern Melbourne after a piece of his equipment broke in March 2024. This was the first serious incident he had experience in his 14 years as a snake hunter. 8 8 8

'Why would you not pick Owen Farrell?'
Owen Farrell's call-up to the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia could be a "masterstroke", says former England scrum-half and Danny a long-time half-back partner of Farrell for England, backed the decision for Lions head coach Andy Farrell to call up his son, despite his injury struggles and lack of international game former England captain has replaced utility back Elliot Daly, who was ruled out of the tour after fracturing his arm in Wednesday's win over Queensland Reds."Why would you not pick Owen Farrell?" Care told BBC's Rugby Union Weekly podcast."Whatever position he is going to play, whatever role he's going to play in that squad, they are only a better squad for having him has seen first hand how Farrell sets standards both on and off the pitch."If Owen turns up and delivers standards and delivers a better performance from the Lions, and overall and you see a more connected team, then you have to go 'what a masterclass and a masterstroke from the coaches'," he 33, has not played international rugby in nearly two years and recently returned to Saracens after a difficult season in Paris with Racing fly-half, who can also play inside centre, has not played in nearly nine weeks after a concussion ended his season he arrives in Australia, Farrell will be the only player in the squad to have gone on four Lions tours, where he will look to add to his six Tests."Whatever team Owen is in he makes them better. I have no doubt in whatever shape he is, he will slot in absolutely fine," added Care."I hope he hits the ground running, and everyone just gets on with it." Care recalls how a suspended Owen Farrell played a crucial role in preparing England for their pivotal opening game of the 2023 Rugby World Cup against Argentina."I go back to the World Cup where he goes into the tournament with a ban, but the way he drove the standards of the whole group," he said."The way he drove the midweek teams, preparing the first team to play against Argentina and the masterclass that George Ford delivered there."Owen prepped that team so well for that."Whatever Owen's role is going to be on that tour he is only going to add and be a positive influence and drive the standards even more." Who else could they have called up? Daly's experience as a utility back is a unique one. The 32-year-old has played centre, wing and full-back across three Lions tours and was playing his way into a Test Tom Jordan, who is touring close by in his native New Zealand, can play 10, 12 and 15 and was a natural fit to cover multiple Jamie Osborne, capped by Farrell last summer in South Africa, will complete the set of playing international rugby at full-back, wing and centre against Georgia on Farrell made clear he had "loads of full-backs" with Hugo Keenan and Blair Keenan, the likely contenders for the Test 15 spot, set to play their first game on tour against NWS Waratahs on Marcus Smith also able to cover 15, this ruled out in-form Wales full-back Blair wing Darcy Graham wing was unlucky to miss out on the initial squad and offers less versatility but could have added another option in the back Mack Hansen and England's Tommy Freeman have both played for their club at full-back, which Andy Farrell previously referenced was an important factor in their initial selection."I will be honest; I look around and think who else could he call-up?" Care said."Out of everyone that is going that can cover a couple of positions. He would be top of my list."Why wouldn't you take someone who has been there three times, worn the shirt and knows what it takes?"There will be sceptical people because he hasn't played proper Test match rugby for a long time."I do not think that matters with Owen, I really don't." 'A joke selection' - the backlash Former Lions fly-half Dan Biggar toured with Owen Farrell in 2017 and 2021 and wrote in his Daily Mail column, external that the management are being "quite naive" if they think the selection will "blow over quietly".He also wonders if Farrell will affect the dynamic of the fly-halves as he is "a huge personality" and will have a "big influence" on the squad."We've been praising Russell all year. He looks like the main man. It feels like this is his moment and you don't know what kind of impact Farrell coming in will have on that dynamic," Biggar Barnes, a Lions tourist in 1993, wrote in the Times, external that the problem with Farrell's call-up was not "nepotism" but "on form, the selection is a joke".And like Biggar, the former England fly-half questioned whether Russell would be hindered by Farrell's presence."Farrell's pick is a disturbing decision. It could even become a disturbance. Let's hope not," he O'Driscoll, a four-time Lions tourist, believes Farrell's leadership skills mean he will "accepted very, very well" and he added on Off The Ball, external that he could see him starting one of the Tests at inside centre."He could change their game or bring an extra dimension," he added. "His range of passing is phenomenal."

British & Irish Lions prop 'gladiators' form secret society in Australia - but competition for places is fierce as first Test draws closer
A secret society of Lions prop ' gladiators ' has been formed in the early stages of this Australia tour, but amid the bonds of new friendships, these competitive beasts are jostling for places in their own complex hierarchy. With a fortnight to go until the first Test against Australia in Brisbane, the front row battle lines will continue to be drawn on Saturday, as the tourists confront the reinforced Waratahs in their third game Down Under. As it stands, selection is still up for grabs and for the pillars of the pack on duty at Allianz Stadium, the presence of the giant known as 'Tongan Thor' will serve to focus minds on a fixture of seismic importance. Wallabies tighthead Taniela Tupou will line up for the hosts as he seeks to revive his fading hopes of being involved in the series against the Lions, after a torrid season and ahead of a summer move to Racing 92 in France. While he has been grappling with a chronic loss of form and confidence, Tupou has the physical clout to target what has been a creaking British and Irish scrum, while also wreaking havoc with his carrying around the field. First up to lock horns with him in the set piece will be Scotland's South African loosehead, Pierre Schoeman, who has already emerged as one of the characters of this 2025 crusade. He has spoken about how the mix of props in Andy Farrell's squad, from England, Ireland and Scotland, have been forming connections as they compete for places. 'We are almost like a gladiator when all the gladiators come together,' he said. 'It is nice knowing each other and learning from each other. You have to get along. You have to make it work. It is like a mini unit and the engine has to go.' It is all very hush-hush when the props get together, apparently. 'We have a prop group that none of our other team members are allowed on,' added Schoeman. 'No hookers, just props. We are like bison, migrating together. 'We have a secret meeting every night. Finlay Bealham started it and now all the props have bought in. We stick together and have a tea after every training session and we get to meet each other's families and ask deep questions. It is just for props in our group, in whatever hotel we live.' Schoeman is gunning for the Lions No 1 shirt in the Test series. So is Ellis Genge. Lately, they have been in neighbouring beds. 'I room with Ellis at the moment,' said Schoeman. 'If I snore too much, he gets grumpy, so I snore more. I know a lot of things about Gengey. I've sat through phone calls. I know all his business friends, family, everything. I have asked him to phone my family as well! 'He's brilliant. He's a powerhouse in the scrum as well as his carries. He's not afraid to make a shot and he's experienced as well.' The respect and camaraderie between the rivals will intensify, but so will the competition for places. There are three auditions left before Test selection time. Genge put a marker down at loosehead with a scrummaging onslaught and some rampaging ball-carrying in the pre-tour fixture against Argentina, so now Schoeman and Andrew Porter of Ireland are having to respond. It's certainly not a done deal in that position yet. As for tighthead, it is wide open and perhaps even a source of nagging concern to Andy Farrell and his coaching staff. Australia-born Ireland prop Finlay Bealham is alone among the trio of contenders in really putting his hand up so far, against the Pumas – having wept when the head coach called to inform him of his late call-up, at the age of 33. Tadhg Furlong is the veteran with all the pedigree, who started the last six Tests that the Lions have played. But he was way off his vintage best in the demolition of the Western Force. That left the door wide open for Will Stuart – outstanding for Bath and England in recent months – to seize his opportunity, but he was unable to do so in a patchy performance against the Reds in Brisbane. In other positions, emphatic Test cases have been made, notably by Joe McCarthy in the second row, by Jac Morgan at openside flanker and by Elliot Daly at full-back, before his tour was cruelly ended. On Saturday, Farrell will want to see his props similarly rise to the occasion and provide more of a robust platform for the Lions to further develop their all-singing, all-dancing gameplan. Yet, the task of gelling unfamiliar units can be decidedly tricky, as Furlong explained, saying: 'Think of the amount of connections in the scrum; tighthead is on hooker with shoulder and arm. Hooker is on to loosehead's shoulder and arm. Then you have second row coming in with two points of contact with the three of them (front-rowers). 'There are so many touch points in the scrum and you're scrummaging with people who have different methods to what you're used to. It's not insurmountable, but it's about getting on the same page.' That will have to happen or the Waratahs will target any chinks in the 'gladiators' armour. The Lions are certainly alert to the danger posed by Tupou, with Farrell saying: 'I know he was in the Australian squad, he's now dropped out to play against us, so I suppose he's got a point to prove. I'm sure he'll be well up for that. He's very disruptive, to say the least. He's certainly got power and pace on both sides of the ball, that's for sure.' Set-piece resilience has to be a priority for the Lions and their secret society, given the threat coming their way. If Tupou is deemed expendable, it is an indication of the Wallabies' enhanced potency in the scrum. Gone are the days when they were easy prey in that area. For their warm-up fixture against Fiji, Ulster-bound Angus Bell has been named among the replacements – and he was arguably the best loosehead in the world last year. If Will Skelton can recover from injury in time to play in Brisbane, Joe Schmidt's Australia pack will be armed with the biggest tighthead lock in the world, to add colossal ballast behind the front row. So, the clock is ticking for the Lions. Through all these clandestine daily meetings and the sharing of a four-nation stock of talent and know-how, they must clarify their hierarchies and brace themselves for a truly gladiatorial contest.
