Mary Fowler posts a VERY out-of-character racy braless photo as boyfriend Nathan Cleary celebrates his birthday

Mary Fowler has delighted her fans with a new photo drop on Instagram – including one very revealing pic that’s a radical departure for the Matildas star.

The 21-year-old’s post featured snaps of a stunning view from a balcony, a black-and-white selfie of the glammed-up star, and shots of self-help books she’s reading. 

But the image that is sure to attract the most attention from her 442,000 followers showed her standing braless in front of a mirror in a tight T-shirt, with one commenter writing, ‘That fourth image’ accompanied by several face with hand over mouth emojis.

Fowler is a prolific poster on social media but is almost always seen dressed demurely in the photos she uploads.

Her post comes just after her boyfriend Nathan Cleary celebrated his 26th birthday on Thursday, and one of her followers picked up on the fact he’s not included in the photo drop, writing, ‘Where is @_nathancleary? He usually says in one of the slides from every upload.’

Fowler also gave her fans a look at a new product from L’Oreal with her image all over the packaging accompanied by the words ‘Get the look – Mary Fowler’s natural glow’ after signing on to be an ambassador for the cosmetics giant earlier this year.  

The one-year anniversary of their romance going public passed earlier this month and the couple recently posted heartwarming photos of their time together on the NRL star’s recent European holiday.

Cleary and the Manchester City young gun spent a few weeks together after this year’s NRL grand final as he jetted over to be with her in England – even delaying badly needed surgery on his shoulder to do so.

The NRL star included a photo of him with Fowler in an Instagram post he called ‘Down time’, which also featured pics of him celebrating this year’s grand final victory with his teammates, driving a Mercedes in Europe, taking in some of the stunning sights on the continent – and lastly, a shot of Fowler posing with a portrait he painted of her.

That last photo got a reaction out of Fowler, who commented, ‘Mems [memories] for a lifetime … that last slide tho.’

Shortly after Cleary’s post went up, it was his girlfriend’s turn.

Fowler posted a shot of the couple embracing while they caught up in England, along with a short video of her walking up a hill, which appears to have been taken by Cleary, who responded to the post with a smiley face.

Their posts came just over a year since their relationship became public thanks to a Daily Mail Australia exclusive that showed them in a very romantic display in a Perth park.

That story helped make them the hottest couple in Aussie sport, with the pair later spotted in Sydney on several occasions, as well as on the Gold Coast when she reunited with him after they spent last Christmas apart.

Shortly before the NRL grand final, Cleary gave his fans an eye-opening account of the start of their relationship.

‘Whenever I was with her it just felt like we were two normal people … and then all of a sudden people were taking photos of us, and then they were being published, and then there were articles, then there was people waiting out the front of my house,’ Cleary said.

‘One day I was driving and I realised this car was following me.

‘Then I took a few turns, took a few turns, they took the exact same turns. I was pretty much in a car chase.

‘That was, like, mind-blowing to me. I understand it, I guess, because people care [about the romance].

‘It all happened so quick, and now her relationship was in the public eye, it was hard to wrap your head around.’
