‘Shady' relationship act being called out by experts
A 'shady' dating trend rising in popularity is leaving Aussies feeling like their partner's dirty little secret. Partner pocketing, also known as stashing, is when your partner is keeping you a secret from the world, including not posting you on social media, not inviting you to events with family or friends, and appearing as though they are single. Samantha Jayne, a relationship expert, said the trend's been around for years but it has risen in popularity thanks to hook-up culture and more people feeling comfortable being single. She did also say that it could come from worry and shame from getting a relationship wrong, and so it is easier to keep it a secret in case the couple break up. While other times it's due to children being involved. It was common when people were trying to avoid judgement for factors like a big age gap or cultural differences. More 'malicious' reasons included a fear of commitment or cheating. 'No matter what the reason behind it, it never feels good to be someone's secret. It betrays trust, make the person who is being kept a secret feel same, insignificant and it errodes the relationship.,' she said. So, what should you do if you find yourself in this position of being confused about why your partner doesn't appear to be proud of dating you? 'Have an honest open conversation with your partner about the reasons you're being pocketed,' Ms Jayne said. 'You should see how that makes you feel and if you can compromise on a timeline so that you can eventually appear and be known to the outside world. I'd also recommend taking a step back and protecting yourself.' She said it's important to set a clear boundary, and if it makes you feel bad and the person isn't willing to compromise then maybe the relationship isn't for you. 'Know your self worth, practice self care and get out there meet new people that are proud of you and take the time to consider if being pocketed is something you are OK to accept,' she said. Sera Bozza, Tinder's local dating expert, told that on the surface partner pocketing sounds 'shady'. 'And sometimes? It is. If someone is making you feel like a well-kept secret, they might not be ready, or willing, to fully integrate you into their life. That hurts. But it doesn't always mean something's wrong with you,' she said. 'Because here's the thing: not everyone who isn't posting you is pocketing you. There's a difference. Not everyone's comfortable putting their love life on the grid two dates in — and that's fair! 'Privacy in the early stages can be healthy. Posting someone too soon doesn't prove commitment, especially if the connection hasn't earned that level of visibility yet. Rushing to perform commitment before you've actually built it? That's how people end up relationship-sprinting and emotionally crashing later.' She said the red flag isn't when someone introduces you but why they keep avoiding it. She said if someone is being clear and intentional about where things are at, it's a green flag. But. if they keep dodging the question or changing the subject. 'That's not mystery, that's misdirection,' she said. 'The good news? Gen Z daters are flipping the script. According to Tinder's Year in Swipe data, they're not pocketing; they're loud-looking from the start. They're not just hoping someone picks up the vibe, they're actively flagging what they want in their profiles for more aligned connections: effort they can see, communication that's direct, and actions that actually match their intentions. 'Being clear and emotionally available? In. Posting your partner when it feels real? In. Leaving someone in the emotional drafts folder: no introduction, no clarity, no context? Firmly out.'

Spencer Leniu and Ezra Mam embrace says it all after State of Origin Game 2
The long-running feud between Ezra Mam and Spencer Leniu dating back to a Vegas racism row is all but over after the pair were seen clearing the air before sharing a warm embrace after State of Origin Game 2 on Wednesday night. Vision, which you can watch above, showed Leniu approach Queensland's 18th man after full-time, with the pair engaging in a brief conversation that ended in an embrace. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. The touching moment showed they have seemingly finally buried the hatched some 16 months after the Blues enforcer labelled Mam a 'monkey' in the Las Vegas season opener between the Roosters and Broncos in 2024. Leniu copped an eight-match ban for the slur which he insisted was unintentional and was nothing more than 'one brown man saying something to another brown man'. The fallout continued even after he served his suspension with Leniu aggrieved at some of the commentary around the situation from people in the media, namely from Queensland legend Johnathan Thurston, who said the punishment should have been far harsher. Leniu clearly held a grudge against the Maroons great for his remarks and accused Thurston of being 'two-faced' and 'fake' following a sideline spat back in April. Thurston claimed the following day he was 'shocked' by Leniu's hostility, 'which was not of a racial nature, but overly aggressive in tone and unwarranted'. Leniu then posted on his Instagram: 'I never wanted to talk to JT. He kept trying to come to speak to me. 'I said, 'Lad idc (I don't care) if that you hate me for what I did. But don't come up to me asking me questions like we're Algood (sic). 'Don't be two face. Hate me lad I'm eetswa (sweet) with that. But don't be fake. I hate fake people.' Since then Leniu has been on a self-imposed media ban and stayed out of the limelight. In a great show of character, after full-time, he sought out Mam to bury the hatchet and clear the air with the Broncos star. And speaking after the exchange, Mam said it had all been settled. 'It's great that me and Spencer got the chance to see each other face-to-face last night,' Mam told The Sydney Morning Herald.
