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.
