Braith Anasta is back on the market after a brief romance with Evie Tziomakis.

A source confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that the former NRL player, 42, quietly split from the mum-of-two earlier this year after he confirmed their romance in December.

Over the weekend, Braith enjoyed lunch at Sydney restaurant China Doll surrounded by a small group of friends consisting of two couples.

In a photo shared to his Instagram account, the ex-footy star posed in the middle of the couples at the end of a table.

Re-sharing the photo to his Instagram Story on Sunday, Braith joked that he is now ‘third wheeling’.

Evie also appears to have wiped any traces of her Instagram account.

Braith declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Australia.

The former couple went public with their romance in early December.

They were pictured kissing during a romantic night out together at the Coogee Pavilion in Sydney.

The Footy player-turned-television presenter previously split from his fiancée, personal trainer Rachael Lee in November 2022.

He and Rachael share daughter Gigi, five, while Braith also shares his eldest daughter Aleeia, nine, with his ex-wife actor Jodi Gordon.

Rachael also has a son, Addison, 13, from a previous relationship.

At the time of their split, the rugby league pundit confirmed the couple was going through a hard time.

‘Like many couples, we are going through a tough period,’ he said on Instagram.

He added they were ‘trying to work through this for us and more importantly for our beautiful family and our amazing children’.

Rachael is now in a relationship with alleged high-ranking Bra Boy Evan Faulks.

Their romance, which bloomed over the festive season, has been the talk of the town since the duo met at the Crown Plaza in Coogee.

Evan, 38, a professional surfer and alleged member of infamous Sydney beach gang Bra Boys, recently made headlines for reasons beyond his sporting talent.

The accused gang member was arrested in March last year as part of an investigation into an alleged drug importation ring and won’t face a hearing until next February.

Evan was granted $200,000 bail in November and three weeks later uploaded to Instagram a video of himself carrying a bag of belongings as he left custody jumping for joy.

Evan’s court case was listed in Downing Centre Local Court last month but he did not have to appear in person because he was represented by a solicitor.

The professional surfer was extradited last year from Queensland following an 18-month investigation into cocaine and meth consignments allegedly intercepted by US authorities.

Evan, who police allege is a ‘high-ranking member’ of the Bra Boys, was originally accused of running a criminal operation which imported and distributed drugs worth $12.6million around Sydney.

On March 19, police withdrew a charge that Evan had knowingly directed the activities of a criminal group and another that he knowingly dealt with the proceeds of crime with intent to conceal.

The same day he pleaded not guilty to dealing with property worth $266,954 which was suspected to be the proceeds of a crime between September 2016 and May 2017.

Last month, magistrate Daniel Covington heard Evan maintained his not guilty plea to the proceeds of crime charge and set the matter down for a four-hour hearing on February 4.

Evan faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison if convicted.
