Sammy Robinson has officially confirmed her relationship with New Zealand rugby star Shaun Stevenson.
The Australian influencer and fashion designer, 29, shared a sweet Instagram photo with her rugby boyfriend, 28, who plays for North Harbour in the domestic Mitre 10 Cup and the Chiefs in the international Super Rugby competition.
The couple were seen smiling amid Stevenson’s match against the British Lions on Saturday, with Robinson revealing she was gifted new shoes by her man – yellow and green adidas sneakers that match his rugby kit.
“He got me new shoes,” she captioned the post.
Robinson, known for founding the fashion label One Mile, posted the affectionate photo just two months after she said she was going to keep her relationship private.
“Never say never. I may post him or I may not,” she told the Daily Telegraph’s Sydney Confidential at the time.
“I’ve recently said until I know for a fact you’re going to be the one, I don’t think I’ll post them again. You don’t just post whoever anymore, and I’m careful now because there is just too much scrutiny.”
So it seems Stevenson might be “the one”, as the influencer decided to hard launch their relationship after a few subtle hints on her account in recent weeks.
It is unknown how long the two have been together, however, it seems things are getting serious as the pair celebrated her birthday together earlier in the month.
On June 26, she teased the relationship with a photo from behind of her and a man ordering a drink at a bar.
Robinson initially rose to fame on YouTube as one of Australia’s original beauty content creators, before moving over to TikTok with lifestyle and beauty videos.
She later launched her own fashion brand, One Mile, in 2020, which has had significant success in a short time.
The brand’s debut at Australian Fashion Week in 2022 marked its transition into a respected industry player.
It now has two brick-and-mortar stores, one in Bondi Beach and one in Paddington.
In an interview with Vogue Australia, she mentioned that there’s no secret behind her success, she simply tries to stay true to herself.
“Just do you. Everyone else is already taken,” she said.
“There is no point being someone that you’re not, it sounds cliche, but truly people will be able to tell if you’re in it for the wrong reasons or if you’re being fake for the fame.
“Find your passion and just do whatever makes you happy … not just what is trending.”
