Inside the romance between footy star, 23, and another big name in Aussie sport - who's 10 years older than him
The AFL star, 23, hard-launched his relationship with the former West Coast Fever star, 33, in September last year while on a romantic holiday in Mauritius.
The romantic revelation came about as Browne took on a new role as a club ambassador for the Fever.
Jackson starred for the Dockers over the weekend, kicking a late long-range goal in the fourth quarter to help his side beat Collingwood by a point at the MCG.
Browne was on hand for the victory celebrations, with the couple both posting a photo of themselves embracing in the sheds after the match as she looked smitten with her man.
'Great photo of a great couple,' replied one footy fan.
'Winning on and off the field,' said another.
'We love to see it,' posted a third.
Rumours about the couple hooking up first surfaced in July last year when Browne posted a TikTok video showing her engaging in her 'fave nightly ritual' as she stood in a backyard pool while wearing a heavy jacket.
That took on new meaning when footy fans realised that pool was in a post Jackson made on Instagram last May, showing him cooking on a barbecue.
Then, in August last year, they were seen together in a photo the Fever posted from the team's annual awards night.
Browne and Jackson also posted sots of the same bath on the deck of a cabin in Busselton, a popular holiday spot about 200km south of Perth.
Earlier this year, rumours circulated that Jackson might be looking to move to a Victorian club, despite being contracted with Fremantle until 2029.
Channel Seven reporter Mitch Cleary reported that the couple were interested in heading to Victoria, where Browne is originally from and her family is still based.
However, Dockers coach Justin Longmuir poured cold water on the speculation.
'Not a concern. Nothing I've seen of Luke throughout the pre-season has shown me he wants to leave the club,' Longmuir said.
'Someone from the club has spoken to him already and he's reiterated that he doesn't want to go anywhere and he's never been happier.
'We'll leave it at that, I reckon.'
Browne, who currently works as a commentator for the NBL, was one of the country's top attacking players during her career, winning two premierships with the Lightning and going on to represent the nation internationally.
A Geelong native, she comes from a sporting family, with her dad Mark playing for the Cats in the 1970s and her sister Madison going on to be one of the nation's most successful netball players.

Woakes 'never considered' not batting for England
Chris Woakes said he "wouldn't have been able to live with himself" had he not tried to bat for England in the extraordinary finish to the fifth Test against 36-year-old suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder on the first day at The Oval, yet still emerged to bat with his left arm in a sling on a dramatic final needed 17 runs when Woakes came out at number 11. He did not face a ball but ran four runs, before Gus Atkinson was bowled to give India a six-run victory and leave the series level at to The Guardian,, external Woakes said: "I'm still gutted, devastated really, that we couldn't get the fairytale. But I never considered not going out there, even if it had been 100 runs still to win or whatever."But any other player would have done the same. You couldn't just call it off at nine wickets down."Woakes was the only member of the England pace attack to play in all five Tests against India. On the first evening of the fifth Test, he chased the ball to the boundary and suffered the suspected the second day, the hosts ruled him out of the remainder of the match, but Woakes offered to bat in England's first innings, only to be knocked back by coach Brendon Sunday's fourth day, with England chasing a record 374 to win, he was pictured in the home dressing room in his whites, ready to had practised in the nets, first in his usual right-handed stance, only to find that method was too painful. The Warwickshire man instead opted to bat left-handed, in order to put his healthy right arm at the top of the handle in control of the bat, and his injured left arm as far away from the ball as possible."I defended one normally [right-handed] and it was agony," he said. "We soon worked out that a left-hander's stance would shield the shoulder and at least allow me to sort of block with my top hand in control. I hit a few, missed a few, but it felt like the only way to survive."On Monday's fifth day, England were 17 runs adrift of victory when Josh Tongue was bowled to become the ninth wicket to fall. Though some security staff rushed on to the outfield, believing the game to be over, Woakes appeared from the dressing room to a hero's welcome from the crowd. "I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I didn't try," he admitted."You just know you're part of something bigger. It's not just you that you're playing for out there. It's your team and your team-mates, all the hard work and the sacrifices they put in, the people watching at home and in the ground. You just feel a duty to do it for everyone."While Atkinson attempted to protect Woakes from the strike, he was still required to run. On the first occasion, a bye through to wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, Woakes was instantly in clear discomfort."The first one was the worst," he said. "All I had taken was codeine and it was just so sore. Instinct took over here - even with my arm strapped down I tried to run as you naturally do. I genuinely worried my shoulder had popped back out again, hence you saw me throw my helmet off, rip the glove off with my teeth, and check it was OK."Woakes ran three more runs during his 16-minute stay at the crease. Despite his bravery, England missed out on a 3-1 series triumph and instead had to settle for a share of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy."It was bitter-sweet in the end," he added. "Part of me wondered what it might be like, to see if I could have defended the ball, seen out an over maybe, squeezed a run or carved a four."But the other side of it was, 'Thank God I didn't face a 90mph bouncer, one-handed, facing the wrong way around'."And I knew I was going to have to wear a few bouncers if I did get on strike. Those were the anxious feelings, really. You're still pretty exposed out there."Woakes is now waiting to discover the full extent of the injury, with his participation in this winter's Ashes series in severe actions have been praised across the sporting world and he said "the love from the public has helped"."It's not the way you want to be front-page news - you'd sooner it was for five wickets or a century," added Woakes."It is so weird to go from the start of a Test week, thinking 'one last push', to ending up on a physio's table wondering what the future holds."

Caitlin Clark scolds Indiana Fever teammates as they beg for swimsuit endorsement deal
Caitlin Clark didn't have much patience for her sunbathing Indiana Fever teammates before Tuesday's loss in Los Angeles. With the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year nursing a groin injury, Fever teammates Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull spent their pre-game poolside, where they solicited swimsuit endorsement deals on TikTok. 'We are off to our game tonight,' read the post on Cunningham's page. 'Convince us there's a swimsuit brand that wants to partner with two Indiana Fever mermaids.' Cunningham and Hull sported black bikinis in the short clip, garnering a wave of responses online, including a scathingly funny comment from Clark. 'Swimsuit brands,' Clark wrote, 'plz comment 'focus on basketball.' Then, after giving swimsuit brands ample time to make an offer, Clark went in for the kill: 'And no one responds.' Unfortunately for the Fever, the rest of their Tuesday in Los Angeles wasn't any better. Not only did they lose to the Sparks, 100-91, but the defeat was briefly interrupted by yet another sex toy being thrown onto the court by a hostile spectator. Tuesday's incident in LA followed similar interruptions in Chicago and suburban Atlanta, where one man has been arrested for allegedly throwing sex toys at WNBA games. Cunningham previously warned fans against throwing sex toys onto the court, only to have the projectile slid into her foot during the second quarter of Tuesday's loss. 'No way that thing actually hit me,' an embarrassed Cunningham wrote on social media, adding: 'I knew I shouldn't have tweeted that.' Cunningham also addressed the disturbing trend in her 'Show Me Something' podcast. 'I was thinking about like, if someone threw that thing and like, first of all, the bounce that that thing had, if that smacks someone in the face, you know that's gonna be plastered everywhere,' Cunningham said. 'I just know how things go viral now. And I just know that thing like, even came from like the rafters or bounced and just slapped me right in the face. That would be what I'd be known for, for life. So I was just trying to protect all of our images.' After giving swimsuit brands ample time to make an offer, Clark went in for the kill Meanwhile, a Georgia man arrested for allegedly throwing sex toys onto the floor of two WNBA games last week was publicly identified Tuesday after being booked on multiple charges in an Atlanta suburb. Delbert Carver, 23, was released from Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro on Sunday one day after being charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure, and criminal trespass, according to online records. Police say he was arrested after throwing a sex toy onto the court during the Atlanta Dream's win over the visiting Phoenix Mercury on Friday. He also allegedly confessed to police that he was involved in a similar incident in Atlanta's July 29 loss to the visiting Golden State Valkyries - a shocking moment that went viral last week and appears to have inspired copycats in Chicago and Los Angeles . Carver was allegedly live streaming Friday's incident in Atlanta before being apprehended.

Lindsay Lohan looks completely different 16 years after THAT shock Aussie magazine cover following a major transformation that lead to a new taut face
Lindsay Lohan has been at the centre of cosmetic surgery accusations for months. And the Hollywood actress, 39, did little to dispel rumours on Tuesday as she stepped out in Sydney at the Australian premiere of her new movie Freakier Friday. Lindsay looked worlds away from a shock magazine cover that ran in Australia 16 years ago. In 2009, Famous magazine featured a photo of the star posing on the red carpet where she appeared worse for wear with larger lips and natural wrinkles. Lindsay has totally transformed her look since then, displaying a wrinkle-free complexion and plump cheeks as she walked the red carpet with her co-star Jamie Lee Curtis this week. Her visage is taut, while her jawline appears noticeably more pronounced than it did during her former years in the spotlight. The Parent Trap star's early years in the industry were marked by reports of multiple run-ins with the law and scandal. In what is being dubbed the 'Lohanaissance' - or Lindsay's second act in Hollywood - the former child star has now transformed into a happy, healthy, and sober mother, with a focus on family and wellness. She previously confirmed that she has received Botox, skin lasers and Morpheus8, a non-surgical procedure that pierces the skin with tiny needles to 'rejuvenate' it, but has denied any other procedures. Hitting back against speculation to ELLE, she said in May: 'Everyone does Botox. 'I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. 'I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skin care is very specific. I'm trying out some serums not that I'm doing — I'm testing them. 'Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning. I'm into lasers. 'I did Morpheus8 (a non-invasive radiofrequency micro-needling treatment) once, and then I realized my skin is so thin that I can't be doing that.' Lindsay added: 'My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. 'I did blood tests, and I was like, I want to know everything I'm allergic to. So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me.' During the interview, her publicist also reportedly chimed in and said: 'You know what the problem is with you being beautiful women — the second she looks any different, they assume she had her face lifted at 37 or 38, that she ripped apart this or that. It's so mean.' Plastic surgeons speculated that Lindsay had received a facelift after she appeared at the movie premiere in December because of her youthful appearance. It has also previously been suggested that she had an upper eyelid lift to reduce the skin above the eyes, a sign of ageing. And it was claimed that she may have had at least one nose job because her nose has changed shape from earlier in her career. Revealing estimates for her rumoured surgery at the time, Dr Gary Linkov, a plastic surgeon in New York City, based on having viewed photographs of her, but not treating her, claimed she may have spent $275,000 on surgery. This includes $50,000 for lip fillers over 19 years, $80,000 for a face lift, and $40,000 for veneers. Lindsay's friends told The Mail last month that her transformation began in 2014 when, after years of reckless behaviour that led to her being jailed five times in the US, she travelled to the UK to star in a West End production of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow. Lindsay's friends told The Mail last month that her transformation began in 2014 when she travelled to the UK to star in a West End production of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow Away from the prying cameras of the paparazzi, Lindsay decided to go off the grid as she reportedly changed her numbers and 'cut herself off from all the bad influences', celebrity photographer Giles Harrison said. 'She dropped off the face of the planet, at least as far as Hollywood was concerned.' She relocated to Dubai two years later in a bid to disconnect from Tinseltown and rediscover herself away from the cameras that had followed Lindsay around since she was 12. In 2020, Lindsay found love with Bader Shammas, a wealthy financier who works for Credit Suisse and hails from one of Dubai's ruling families. By then, a friend of the actress revealed Lindsay had done a lot of therapy and was 'ready to settle down'. The pair said 'I do' in 2022 and went on to welcome their son Luai, which means 'protector' or 'shield' in Arabic, the following year. Reflecting on her new life, Lindsay previously said: 'I've never been happier. 'I took time just to be with me. What I love about Dubai is there's serenity there. I can live a normal life.'
