No sweets were offered, Nathan added bone broth to a glass and mixed in some sea moss.

However, Cleary has admitted that the distance between them is taking its toll on them.

‘Sometimes you come home and want a little hug, but I think it’s helped us in some ways to connect on more than just a physical level and have genuine conversations.

Cleary said a key to their relationship is that they both understand each other’s worlds.
“It is and she definitely understands it,” he explained.
“People look at us and think we’re talking about our sport all the time.”
“But sometimes it’s nice to sit there like two human beings and enjoy each other’s company and talk about something other than sport,” he said.
