AFL star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan sparks split rumours from fitness influencer Liv Kelly for a second time as Suns weigh up new contract
Gold Coast Suns star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has reportedly split from fitness influencer Liv Kelly less than a year after the couple gave their relationship a second chance.
Kelly has moved out of their shared Gold Coast home and both parties have scrubbed their social media profiles of images together, a source told the Herald Sun.
Fans had started to speculate whether the romance was over after noticing the pair had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Kelly, who was previously linked to Tammy Hembrow’s ex and baby daddy Reece Hawkins, also posted in recent days that she had moved out.
The couple moved in together in 2022 after Ugle-Hagan’s very public split from former AFL star Brendan Fevola’s daughter, Mia.
He and Kelly dated for about 18 months before calling it quits. They reunited in December last year, sharing a cosy Instagram photo together under a beach umbrella.

Their latest separation comes as Ugle-Hagan works towards extending his AFL career following a difficult first season at the Suns.
The former No.1 draft pick has been sharing updates from intense training sessions in Melbourne, with Gold Coast expected to offer him another one-year contract.
He managed just three senior appearances in 2026 after joining the Suns from the Western Bulldogs at the end of last year.
There were encouraging signs in the reserves, where he kicked a club-high 26 goals across 11 VFL games, but an ankle injury suffered at training in May interrupted his campaign.
In September, News Corp reporter Jon Ralph revealed that discussions were underway over a new deal, with the Suns keen for the forward to improve his mobility.
‘The Suns have told Jamarra that they’d love him to lose four or five kilograms (and) he’s on board with that,’ Ralph told Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle.
‘This is not a ‘demand’, we do live in very sensitive times (but) they’re very keen for him to be more mobile.’
Ralph said Ugle-Hagan’s management had reported a significant improvement in his wellbeing since the end of his Bulldogs career.
‘His management tells me today he’s 1000 per cent improved from rock-bottom, which was the end of his Bulldogs career,’ he said.

‘There’s a one-year deal in the works and a couple of meetings ahead.’
Ugle-Hagan’s move north followed an extended absence from football while he dealt with personal and wellbeing issues.
He returned to AFL action against Hawthorn in Launceston in April, ending almost 600 days away from the senior game.
At the time, he shared a message about the importance of seeking support.
‘I’m in a really good place mentally and just grateful to be myself again, doing what I love,’ he posted.
‘If anything, I hope this shows that asking for help is strength, not weakness.’
The forward later opened up about the intervention that helped him return to football, revealing that the AFL had required him to attend rehabilitation in Byron Bay.
‘I actually got told to do it (rehab) by the AFL, for me to come back and play games,’ he told News Corp in May.

He spent four weeks in treatment and admitted he initially struggled to accept that he needed help.
‘It’s kind of hard when you’re told to go do something that you don’t think you need,’ he said.
‘But at the end of the day I’m grateful for it because it’s kind of changed me into another man.’
Ugle-Hagan said withdrawing from others had made his struggles worse.
‘I found that leaning out and reaching out and actually leaning on other people helps heaps and that’s what the one thing I didn’t do,’ he said.
Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick played a hands-on role in helping him settle into his new surroundings, inviting the forward to stay at his home for several weeks.
By May, Ugle-Hagan was attending regular psychology sessions, journalling and preparing to begin a youth work course.
Kelly, who has built a following through her fitness content and posts about her healthy living journey, was also described in media coverage at the time as helping him establish better lifestyle and recovery routines.
