Jesinta Campbell bags Buddy Franklin

Jesinta Campbell bags Buddy Franklin

One of Australia’s hottest TV stars Jesinta Campbell has a new man – Australia’s hottest football player.

The Dancing with the Stars contestant today posted a picture of herself snuggling up to Sydney Swan’s latest recruit Lance “Buddy” Franklin on Instagram. There was no caption with the cute post, just a simple love heart.

But it seems the former beauty queen quickly changed her mind about confirming the couple’s romance and removed the picture from her account within hours.

The post originally fetched a number of comments, both positive and negative, about the hot new pair, who have reportedly had their eye on each other for more than a year after meeting at the 2012 Brownlow Medal awards.

Although there were rumours of a romance at the time, the pair chose to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

Buddy, who recently signed a nine-year $10 million deal with the Swans after leaving premiership team Hawthorn, was said to be swayed by Jesinta to make the move to Sydney.
