EXCLUSIVE

The on-again, off-again couple at the center of the Qantas love triangle are now back together after a previous love spat turned violent, Daily Mail Australia can reveal.

Flight attendant Arabella Lansdown, 24, rekindled her relationship with her former tradie Jackson Martin after she hit out at airline colleague Paula Graham upon discovering the pair had been sleeping behind her back.

However, Lansdown is understood to be giving things another go with his man. The couple spent the day running errands in Ipswich, in Brisbane’s western suburbs.

Martin left Lansdown’s Redland Plains home Monday afternoon wearing nothing but a pair of red Calvin Klein boxers while taking a phone call.

The couple later seemed comfortable in each other’s company when they visited the nearby Zarraffa cafe, followed by a trip to McDonald’s and a leisurely drive to Town Square shopping centre.

A source close to the couple confirmed that the pair have had a turbulent relationship since they began dating in 2021.

“I’m not surprised to see that they are back together, they have always had a toxic relationship that has been on and off for years,” the source said.

Lansdown faced Brisbane District Court last week after pleading guilty to punching his former colleague when he discovered she had slept with his then-ex-partner Mr Martin.

Both women worked as flight attendants for Qantas and Lansdown viewed his victim as a close “confidant”, and the pair were said to be “best friends” outside of work.

The single-punch attack fractured Ms Graham’s cheekbone, upper jaw and eye socket.

Ms Graham, who no longer works for the airline, required surgery in which titanium plates and screws were inserted into her face.

The court was told Lansdown confronted Ms Graham at her home after discovering she had been sleeping with Mr Martin.

Despite initial denials, the woman admitted to the sexual relationship and apologized.

In her victim impact statement, Ms Graham said she was still experiencing ongoing numbness and psychological problems after the attack.

But Judge Loury noted that the woman herself did not wish Lansdown any harm and asked the court not to impose a harsh sentence.

“She writes, ‘May this (the victim impact statement), along with your own stress, be punishment enough,'” Judge Loury said.

Defense lawyer Martin Longhurst said the injuries in this case were “borderline” for an assault causing actual bodily harm.

“I don’t think you’re over the line, I don’t think you can say that,” Judge Loury told Mr Longhurst.

‘This woman had to undergo surgery to repair these injuries…they are significant injuries, it is significant that it was a blow that caused the injuries.

“She is responsible for the injuries, whether she intended them or not.”

Lansdown pleaded guilty to a single count of grievous bodily harm on Wednesday.

The court was told Lansdown was “well regarded” by her colleagues, who said her actions were “completely out of line”.

Longhurst said his client had started an Indigenous internship with Qantas while he was in high school and had worked as a flight attendant for five years.

He told the court that Lansdown risked losing her job as a flight attendant if she was found guilty, as she would not be issued an Aviation Safety Investment Card required for domestic travel as part of her job.

Qantas had kept Lansdown’s job and she was still able to work with the airline, but not on planes, the court was told.

Longhurst said Lansdown had experienced prejudice during his childhood and had been seeing a psychologist because of “difficulties” in coming to terms with ending his relationship with his ex-partner.

His client also offered compensation and wrote a letter of regret to the court.

Judge Loury ultimately handed the 24-year-old an 18-month jail term, but suspended it for two years.

Lansdown was also ordered to pay $2,000 in compensation to Ms Graham within four months.
