Manly star Tommy, 24, and Jessica, 27, made headlines in January when they launched their romance with a bang.
The soccer champions appeared together in a revealing Instagram post that recreated the famous ‘Pottery’ scene of Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in the 1990 romantic film Ghost.

While Jessica made some ceramics on a potter’s wheel, Tommy hugged her from behind.
She planted a kiss on Tommy in the image, which was called a ‘soft throw’ in the comments of Sergis’ former Roosters teammate Leianne Tufuga.
Jillaroos test center Sergis is a star in his own right but is currently missing the Roosters’ run to the NRLW finals due to a serious knee injury.
Tommy also shared an image of Jessica in a bikini by the pool, with her tattooed arm visible in the frame.
Last year, Jessica said she might have to admit that her toe had been cut off due to a persistent and troublesome injury.
“We have to go in there and clean it or cut the top off,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
The average price of a two-bedroom apartment in the area is $1,050,000.
‘Anyway, my toes are ugly. A toe is a toe,’ he added.
Jessica underwent repeated surgeries to fix her broken finger, the last one last year, but she said if the final surgery doesn’t fix the problem, the finger has to go.
‘I still have problems with that. I still can’t put my shoes on. I have to go up in sizes. It’s really annoying,’ he said.
Jessica went on to say that she spent five days in the hospital with the injury because it was so swollen that the doctor suspected an infection.
‘It’s my left little finger. To be honest, it looks like my big toe. It’s fat and swollen. If they stand on me it hurts a lot,’ he explained.
