AFLW star Moana Hope has teased her fans with a surprise ‘marriage’ announcement.
The former footy player, 37, shared a playful clip on Sunday night showing herself and a female friend dressing up in wedding gowns and staging a mock ceremony.
Moana looked radiant in a plunging white gown, strutting down a makeshift aisle and playfully hamming it up for the cameras.
Keeping with the friendship theme, the track Best Friend by Saweetie played over the footage.
‘Surprise… I guess I’m getting married #again,’ she captioned the footage, leaving fans both delighted and amused.
‘You look amazing in that dress… the look on your face is pure gold,’ one fan gushed.

‘Wow, talk about giving the audience what they want! Don’t change anything though!’ a second added.
‘You look great in that dress!’ a third chimed in.
The amusing post comes after Moana, who shares Svea, four, and Ahi, two, with her ex–wife Isabella Carlstrom, split from her girlfriend Maria Thattil earlier this year after an 18–month romance.
The pair had been the subject of split rumours for months after they did not spend the 2024 Christmas holidays together.
Speaking to News Corp in February, Maria denied the pair had separated, saying: ‘I’m not single. I’ve seen rumours… but that’s honestly all it is.’
‘We are good and excited for the year ahead. Excited for 2025 together and it’s going to be great. Nothing has come from us. We are investing in ourselves.’
However, just a week later, Confidential claimed the couple had ‘quietly split after several weeks of rumours of a break–up’.
While Moana and Maria did not officially confirm their separation at the time, they attended the Glamour on the Grid party in Albert Park separately in March.

Fans quickly took to the comment section to gush over the amusing post
When they were approached for comment, Maria confirmed they were no longer together and said there was ‘no bad blood’ between them.
‘We are on amazing terms and spent some of the evening together. All is well,’ she said.
The couple had been dating for several months and had moved in together, and Moana hinted last November that she would soon propose to Maria.
Posting a series of images to Instagram of the pair glammed up for their night out at the Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards, the couple seemed smitten.
In one photo, Moana even appeared to be about to get down on bended knee and pop the question.
In the comments section, fans noticed the romantic air of the images, with one person asking: ‘How do I get tickets to the wedding?’
Moana was quick to reply to the curious follower, ‘Watch this space!’, along with a laughing emoji.
