‘That’s so cute I really like that,’ Fowler replied.
‘Can I just say, he told me before he was like I’m sending like a voice message to you.
‘Because, obviously, I did it for him… So he was like yeah, I’m doing it.
‘So he was like: “I was going to send a funny one but decided I’d send a more like serious one…”
‘The funny one, I was like: “You should have sent us that.”
‘The funny one was: “Who is the funniest person in your life and why is it me?”‘
Fowler couldn’t stop laughing at the joke before turning her attention to answer Cleary’s serious question.

It came as Cleary had guided New South Wales to victory in their opening State of Origin match

Fowler also revealed on the podcast that she and Cleary had begun dating after meeting at an event in 2023

The Manchester City star is currently recovering from an ACL injury back in the United Kingdom
‘A behaviour that I think everyone should display, or something that everyone should know…
‘I think that kindness goes a long way, you don’t realise how well people can mask how they’re really feeling until you go through something and you really mask it.
‘The simple things can have the biggest impact on people so I just think being kind, saying hello to people, holding the ball for people… it’s so basic, it makes people see like they’re seen and they’re cared for.
‘It’s something that I try to in put into my life every day. Everyone has moments where they’re annoyed at people, but I think if people just showed kindness throughout their day, it would just make everyone feel a lot better.’
