She was the first photographed with Smith in 2022 after he won the Players Championship. The couple was seen posing for a picture with his trophy and smiled at the camera.

He said,It just come around, I saw a few of the rugby league boys at home doing it. It was a great time to do it during quarantine, just something fun.” He has said that he considers it his good luck charm and that he plans to keep it for a while, even though his girlfriend is not a fan of it. 

“I would have to apologize to my girlfriend, it’s not going away”, he told the rеportеrs in 2021. “I mean, it’s, I feel like it’s part of me now”. However, we are not sure if he was talking about Naoum or not.
