AFLW star Moana Hope and girlfriend Maria Thattil have taken the next step in their romance.
The pair have moved in together, according to Instagram page Influencer Updates, which this week shared a post from Maria.
In the Stories share, Maria cuddled up to Moana’s son Ahi, one, and wrote in her caption: ‘We are moving this week’.
A subsequent cute video showed Ahi sweeping the Northside home’s porch ahead of the move.
The couple have been dating for several months following Hope’s split from her ex-wife, Isabella Carlstrom.

Things have been getting serious between them for a while, and Moana hinted in November that she will soon propose to Maria.
Posting a series of images of the pair glammed up for their night out at the Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards to Instagram, the pair 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.

In September, Hope slammed criticism herself and Maria got together too soon following her split from Isabella, with whom she shares two children.
An emotionally-charged Moana took to Instagram saying there were no hard and fast rules for when to move on when you separate.
‘Can they send me the book on how to be separated?’ Moana said in a video on Instagram.
‘Is there an index section in that book that says how long you should have to wait to be separated from someone before you find happiness?’
She went on to say the choice to move on is up to her.
‘Whether I am dating one person or multiple people… Whatever decision I make for me is my choice. I don’t need to follow some book,’ she said.

The sportswoman added that she was the ‘happiest she had been in a long time’ with Maria, adding her mental health had also improved.
‘If I decide to date… That’s my choice. I do not need anyone to tell me what is acceptable,’ she said.
The couple have been doing the rounds at a number of premieres in Melbourne, including Death of a Salesman in September.
They were spotted packing on the PDA in a Melbourne restaurant.
Maria has even introduced her father to her new love, as he was photographed sitting with them while they enjoyed a meal together.
Moana split-up with Carlstrom last May explaining they tried ‘everything to get their relationship back on track’ but she ‘didn’t feel the same as she used to’.
Maria also recently went through a high-profile breakup, after she and her TikTok star ex-girlfriend Jorgia O’Hare, announced their split last June.
