- Soccer star Nicho Hynes looked dapper in a suit at his friend’s wedding
- He shared a series of Instagram photos, including with Piper Wallis.
- The couple is rumored to be dating, Hynes is notoriously private
NRL star Nicho Hynes is widely considered one of the most handsome men in the code, and he didn’t disappoint when he wore a sharp suit to his “best friend’s” wedding.
Hynes, 28, took to Instagram after the nuptials, where he is believed to have been best man, and love was clearly in the air.
“One of the best days of my life, standing next to my best friend watching him get married,” the Sharks running back posted along with a series of images from the big day.
‘Can we do it all again?’
Among the images was Hynes sharing a tender moment with his new love interest Piper Wallis.
One football fan couldn’t resist and posted in response: ‘Maybe we’ll see you do it soon?’
The star running back is notoriously protective of his private life, but was spotted out and about in Sydney with Wallis and friends earlier this month.
Wallis had just returned from a trip to Europe and posted a photo of Hynes eating her food on an Instagram Story.

The Cronulla Sharks halfback is believed to have started dating Piper Wallis in September
Wallis is a 23-year-old advertising specialist and regularly attends Sharks NRL home games.
She recently returned from a trip to Europe and was spotted with Hynes in Sydney.
Hynes has been single for much of his playing career, although he has previously been linked to beauty entrepreneur Morgan Belier and television presenter Marlee Silva.
The only women Hynes has shown off in his life are his troubled mother and his niece Bobbie.
Hynes’ early career was plagued by mental obstacles and he has spoken openly about his depression when he was a promising young star. He struggled to process his stepfather’s tragic death as a child and his mother’s legal troubles that saw her in and out of jail throughout his childhood.
“I would never want to put anyone through this,” he said.
Hynes, who was born in Gosford, said he didn’t leave the NSW Central Coast until he was in his 20s.
“My mom and dad split up when I was really little, I think I was about two years old,” he said.
Her mother began dating Brendan, a truck driver, and the family moved to Maitland, before tragedy struck.
Brendan fell asleep at the wheel during a shift and died.
“Mom was obviously quite distraught and I had to move back in with my dad and stepmom,” Hynes said.
“My mother was in and out of prison from the time I was five to 12 years old…pretty much my entire elementary school life I had to live without a mother.”
Hynes said he was “very lucky” to have someone to live with as he “could easily have gone down the wrong path”.
“I wouldn’t be sitting here today,” he said during an interview three years ago.
