- The Collingwood captain and the radio star debuted a romance last year
- She made headlines with her woke view of her living conditions.
Collingwood captain Darcy Moore’s radio star girlfriend Dee Salmin has called Christmas “friends” in a Christmas message that will only add to her reputation as Australia’s most woke WAG.
On Friday, the Triple M radio host took to Instagram to post a photo showing her and Moore dressed to the nines, accompanied by the caption “just a casual friends party.”
The term refers to spending the holidays with your friends, but it also removes the religious overtones of the Christmas season by removing the reference to “Christ.”
Salmin and Moore were together when they were photographed holding hands at the Moulin Rouge premiere in Melbourne last August, before going public as a couple at the Brownlow Medal ceremony and the 2023 ARIA Awards.
In July, he shocked football fans with an incredibly woke explanation for why he doesn’t want to live with the premiership-winning star.
“I don’t live with my partner at the moment and we have very different, independent, busy lives,” she said on the ABC Ladies show, We Need To Talk… Back.
Salmin took away the religious overtones of the Christmas season when he posted his ‘friends’ message on Instagram on Friday.
The Collingwood captain and his Triple J host girlfriend (pictured at the Magpies awards ceremony in October) went public with their romance last year.
‘We can have a lot of what we had when we were still single in our relationship.
‘But I wonder how much you can maintain that when you end up living together.
“A lot of this is heterodynamic learned behaviors that you could fall into.”
Salmin used the five-word term to indicate that she and Moore do not fit the heterosexual gender stereotype that women take on the majority of housework and household chores when living with a partner.
She was backed up by the show’s host, TV star turned radio personality and author, Yumi Stynes, who said living together would lead to “monotonous housework” that is “not sexy” and asked if Salmin thought all Couples should live separately.
“I’m going to do it for as long as possible,” Salmin said.
“I also told my partner that we are going to have separate bedrooms (if they live together).”
Collingwood fans had mixed reactions to Salmin’s comment, with some even linking Salmin’s comments to Moore’s performance issues, leading football analyst Kane Cornes to boldly call for him to be dropped in the VFL this season.
Others simply found Salmin’s interview confusing due to his use of progressive and disconcerting terminology.
Salmin (pictured with Moore after the Pies’ 2023 grand final victory) recently posted a cheeky comeback after trolls criticized her online.
One furious fan wrote online: ‘No wonder Darcy Moore is playing so badly. Her head is full of conscious, politically correct, feminist garbage.
“This guy has to be the smartest footballer ever,” another commented.
“Looking forward to the ‘learned patriarchs’ round of heteronormative behavior,'” one fan wrote wryly.
Last month, Salmin responded to football trolls with a hilarious five-word statement in a social media post.
She shared a photo on Instagram of her and Darcy attending the Brownlow Medal ceremony in Melbourne, along with a comment she had received from a troll.
“Darcy has money, fame and elite football skills, but she switched her gonads to a feminist witch,” the troll wrote.
Salmin played a cover of the Eagles’ 1972 classic, Witchy Woman, upon his post and captioned it with some fancy words, saying he was “immortalizing” the “gonads” comment as “the biggest compliment I’ve ever received.”
It seems Salmin really got excited about the comment, as she has now edited her Instagram bio to call herself “a gonad-stealing feminist witch.”
