Though Riley is private, keeping her social media locked and lowkey, she is no stranger to the world of NRL.
Her father, Rod Wishart, was a legendary player for the Illawarra Steelers, who retired in 1999 and in 2005 was honoured as one of the 25 greatest ever NSW rugby league players.
Riley and Reuben have been dating for over three years, and shared their first photo together in 2020.
Last year, Garrick suffered a broken back in a tackle gone wrong.
The stand-in fullback leapt into the air to grab the ball after it was charged down from a Dally Cherry-Evans kick.
Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad made contact with his legs in the air and the Manly utility landed heavily on his back and was left writhing in pain.
Manly confirmed the extent of the injury in a club statement with Garrick likely ruled out for the season.
‘Scans have confirmed Garrick suffered a fractured transverse process in his back after landing heavily in the second half,’ the statement said.
However, Garrick is expected to be back on the field when the 2024 season begins in March.
